1 gallon of pot per month you plan to keep said plant. Your pot is too small= stunted growth. so outdoors count on 7 months or at least 7 gallons.(just use 20 and you will be happy.) give em some air space and the stalks will get stronger. The small pot stays so wet it cant get any air on the roots. water, let it dry up, water. just dont let it dry to a point of wilt. you will get the feel for it after a few waterings.

Looks good otherwise. You wont know if you have males till you see the balls form,lol.
Bloomin Idiot Reviewed by Bloomin Idiot on . lookout, newbie on the loose LOL, need advice I have tried growing a couple times before, but have never had much success. I currently have 3 plants, about 10 weeks old, and almost 2 1/2 feet tall,(I keep adding soil and staking them for support as they get taller because the stalks were so thin). Should I top them? When can I expect to see some indication of sex? Here are a couple pics, I'm thinking, if I am looking at them right, from what I have been reading, that the tallest one is a male, and the second tallest is a female Rating: 5
