it looks healthy. Are you keeping it outside or are you growing indoors? You still got a ways to go....a few weeks of vegging at least! But it looks nice a green! good luck! :jointsmile:

Its outdoors and it gets 100% of sun not sure how many hours but its probably like 12-15 hours

I think the stem is a little weak since it didn't get a lot of sunlight when it was small so it stretched

[Mrbig1]

In my area sunrise is like 7am and sunset is like 8pm so it gets a good bit of sun since its in a big open area

[moody420]

so you are growing from seed? do you know if its fem? was size pot is that? I've got a little experience growing outdoors....but mostly indoor.

you are going to want to make sure the pot is big enough to allow growth. You can get plants pretty tall when growing outdoors....:jointsmile:

[Mrbig1]

Its in a pretty small pot but ill probably move it to a 5 gallon bucket later once its a bit bigger

Still not sure if its female or male

[moody420]

cool....yeah, once it gets a little bigger, just transplant it to a 5gal....that should be good

Also males tend to show their sex earlier than female so if you see balls growing....get rid of him! good luck! :jointsmile:

[Mrbig1]

Yeah gotta keep an eye out for sex of the plant


On average if a plant had good soil and enough sun how long would it take from seed to harvest? ( a cool time line would help me understand :P)

[moody420]

On average, an outdoor grow takes about 6 months. That's the benefit of doing outdoor, you can control the enviroment and shorten grow times.

Most outdoor grows start late april/early may and go through till about october....depending on bud maturity.

The fan leaves should be left on. Think of them as solar panels. If this plant is not going into the earth, repot in a slightly bigger pot. Repot in a bigger pot every six weeks after that.

You have some time until it shows you its sex. One more bit of advice....plant a few more. If you only have one plant, and it goes male, you,' my friend, will not be happy. If you had, say, three more, you most likely will have at least one female (or maybe more).
