Thanks! I will transplant it as soon as I can, which size pot should I move this into?

Im really hoping this is gonna be a female!

Its been a month and 10 days since germination.

Can someone tell me if this is signs of a female plant? or just more normal growth?



Thanks!!! I was thinking of moving this into a 3gal plastic pot but I'm kind of worried about damaging the roots while trying to transplant.

Any advice would be awesome!

Well i transplated it yesterday the best way i could think to and the root ball was really compact and a little bigger than a softball. Is that about Normal??

[jwmsalisbury]

I'm thinking about forcing it to flower because I don't want it to get too much bigger than it already is.

Any suggestions?

It's female. I usually wait for the nodes to start alternating but she is showing sex so go ahead and throw her to flower. She will probably triple in size. It's fun and amazing to watch.

BTW u have really surprised me. I thought for sure when u switched to hydroton that u would kill her but actually u have adapted and done great.

The plant has grown so much in the past week since I switched the lights to 12/12.

On the nodes there is this jelly looking stuff?? I'm not sure what that is.

This is my basic set up with the water pump and reservoir right under the plant.



These are the nutrients I am using.



Is this a good reading for temperature and humidity?



The beginnings of bud formation!!



I can't believe its growing so big and so fast!
