Identification: what to do?

[MOBEONER]

Ok guys i am new to this forum,although i have been browsing around I did not join until today.
A friend of mine gave me some seeds and I planted the seeds. I didn't think nothing of it until it actually grew. Its been about 5 or 6 weeks "i think" and the plant keeps growing. I really didn't pay much attention to it at first, I just water the plant every two days. At this point the Plant looks beautiful and its got a wonderful smell we all like.
basically i am now very curious about the plant and i would like to know more about it so that i can take care of it properly and enjoy its fruits if any...

If any of you know what type of plant it is and can guide me on the right direction It will be much appreciated. thanks
If you guys need better pictures let me know.

I have seen a few other forum members pictures and their plant leave look much thicker and rich looking and my plant leaves look a bit thin and almost see through.Is there something i should do to enrich its look and strength?

Hey glad ya joined man:thumbsup:and reading in here is very important as this will give you all the knowledge to grow your plant. There is no way a person can tell you what strain your growing as people breed seeds all the time. If you buy a seed from a seed bank then you will know what ya got. You might want to get some fertilizer, but start out slow with it if you have not used any yet. If you have a hydro store around you could get ferts there.

It looks pretty healthy to me so your doing it right so far so just keep doing what your doing:thumbsup:. Soon you might think about a re pot so ya might want a 5 gal pot or so and some soil thats got good drainage.

Just make sure ya get it in full sun as much as ya can, plus some ferts will help. But every strain looks a bit different. Your plant looks great man, just gets some ferts and it will grow much faster and might give you a greener plant as in the veg state they like a lot of Nitrogen.

Best thing is do so reading and if ya have questions, id be glad to help. Post em here or in my thread in this section.


Good luck man, i hope i was some help:thumbsup:

Awesome thanks for the help. Here is another shot,sorry i only have a camera phone this is why the pics look crappy.

In case you are wondering whats going on in the background I live in a apartment building in the big city so this is growing in my fire escape.thing is that all my neighbors are cool and all smoke bud so i guess i am safe in that end.They also grow tomato's and all sorts of vegetables in that small back yard. At some point or another i will have to bring it into my apartment so i need to learn more about indoor growing. I will post progress as i go..thanks..

Just an FYI, a sativa will have a more thin leaf and an Indica will have a wider leaf, but there is no way it is 100 percent. All strains have been bread and bread again so i really believe there is no pure one or the other, like i posted its a mix of the two.

Here is a few more pics. I have been noticing that the bottom leaves are getting yellow.I have snipped a few off ,But the question is Am i watering the dirt too much? I try and keep the watering to every two days.

I also see that in the bottom of the plant there are branches that are basically "branching" out on their own. Is that normal?
Again sorry for the stupid question i am a noob.

Hey man, that plant looks pretty good, but it does look a little hungry, like it could use some nutrients. You could order some top notch nutes online, or maybe there's a nursery/garden store near you that might sell some decent plant foods. I bet it will green right up for you with a light dose of good quality nutrients. If you can, try to stay away from the Miracle-Gro / Schultz / big name brands they sell at Wal Mart, Home Depot etc. Go with Botanicare or Fox Farm or anything organic if you see them.

The yellowing in the top and the bottom leaves is a sure sign that it is hungry. It is using the nitrogen in the lower leaves because it has taken all it could find in the soil, so they are yellowing out and would have fallen off by themselves if you hadn't clipped them.

Branches starting to grow out along the main stem is completely normal, you should see what would happen if you cut the main top off. I attached a couple shots of one of mine I topped, she went crazy. Come to think of it, growing on your fire escape, you might want to top her anyway, to try to keep her short and bushy.

Might be over watered as every other day is a bit much, but id say you need to re pot your plant bro. If thats its first pot id say that you need to re pot for sure. I am not sure what kinda soil your using and if you have read any of my posts, you know then im going to tell ya to get some perlite to mix with your soil. Most potting soil has it, but not nearly enough as your soil will get all mucky and your roots will not get any oxygen and then the yellow gets worse. In my Sig iv wrote up a ''how to re pot'', if you follow it your plant will thrive. I need to go back and look again, but after the re pot id give some ferts too. Sometimes ya get yellowing from a lack of Nitrogen, but looks to me your going to need a bigger pot anyway.

You should only water when your plant really needs it. After a watering, pick up your pot to feel how heavy it is. Then in a few days, pick it up to feel if the plant has used it up. Sometimes you will water sooner and sometimes later. It depends on how much your plant uses it up. After a few times as soon as ya move it, you will know to water or not.

Your plant should branch out plenty, if your lucky you will get way more branching. The more branching ya get the more buds will grow from them. Its not a good idea to cut off leaves even if they are yellow. When your plant is done with them they will push em off. These leaves will still feed your plant so its important to have as many as possible. If you see plain out dead growth id cut it off rite where the dead part is and let the rest of the leaf do its job:thumbsup:. I say this only becouse the dead leaves can rot, which attracks bugs and bud root seems bad this year so as a prevention this would be a good idea. If ya have any questions il be back.



See ya an good luck man:rasta:
