looks good man, that you're actually following suggestions looks good too man. something you'll want to consider in the next month is another bin flipped upside down and used as a top, you will run out of space in no time if you don't.
keep it up, and remember, everything you do now, all your success' and your failures, especially your failures, is just practice so the next time will be better

bozo,
peace, love, dope

Im mixing 1 cap full 10ml to 1L of water shouldent that be weak enough?

not talking about nute solution, talking about soil content.

Wow, another nice looking grow. Good to see the advice and suggestions coming to you, and you heeded some of the GOOD advice.

Did you ever identify/isolate the reason you felt the growth was stunted in the beginning?

Im guessing that the potting mix wasnâ??t that good + the bag seeds were a bit old

I was also running 3 lights with foil in the box

Im now running 5 with flat white paint so hopefully that will give them a big boost

I just hope that after all this the plant doesnâ??t turn out to be a male :wtf:

Cheers again for everyoneâ??s help i'll post up new pics every few days

one thing that i have noticed since painting the inside of the box is that the little bug things that like to grow in the water bowl I use seem to like hanging around the base of the box... nothing the vacumme cleaner cant fix though

that's why cloning is so important. without it you will never achieve reproducability. with only 1 seed you have a 50% chance it's a male, not good odds. as a newbie myself, i would strongly suggest you learn how to clone (it's not hard).
it's a pain to raise several seeds until they're big enough to cut, then waiting til they root, then waiting til they flower enough to show sex but, if you do that, then you will have a female to raise up until it wll provide you with more than 100 cuttings per year (if you do it right a momma will provide you with more than that). the great thing will be that they are ALL female, GAURANTEED.

anyway, keep it up man

Well if worse comes to worse i'll just veg the bastard till its 2 big for the box and make brownies with it.... Male plants do contain THC in the leaves to the same levels as the females? its just the buds which are the difference?

Also if it turns out to be a male can I make it a hermi just as u can make a female a hermi?

Hi guys been a while

Decided i would post an update

Plant is starting to go crazy now with @ least 7 nodes sprouting new leaves all over the plant

I'v topped the plant again and as you can see the new nodes are going well, notice the difference between the left and the right.

The left seems to have 3 nodes sprouting "bit cramped for space" while the right has the usual 2

This is due to me only topping the baby leave that had just started to sprout on the left while on the right i topped off the leaves the baby leaves were sprouting from

PLEASE BE A GIRL!

typically the plants dont have any thc in the fan leaves, let alone a male having thc in the leaves......it would be a waste of brownie mix.]

and no, you cannot turn a male plant hermie and make it have female parts

Im a little worried at the moment because this plant hasent shown any signs of sex yet... no balls from what i can see and no hairs either....

or is this more to do with the fact that its under 24h light and wont show any pre flowers untill it goes into 12/0?

[SAP420]

Is it possible to have all male plants or should I have at least one female out of four that are growing?
