Looking good so far. What are your plans for down the road? Do you plan to go through till harvest in the box or will you be tossing that girl outside? from the looks of things unless I missed it, but it looks like it's just one plant? Do you know the strain? If you plan on harvesting in there, you should look into doing a mini scrog, or grow that baby out some more and take a bunch of cutting and do a sog. Either way, good luck and don't let anyone throw that box out!:thumbsup:

hello there.. nice to see your taking a interest in growing but doing it in the parents house aint such a hot idea... considering theyll be the one to take the punishment if for any reason some were to go down..

as far has taking that plant to flowering your gunnna have to LST train it or SCRoG or even SOG it .. which you should do a forum search and get a idea of what is going on.

and for "what to pick off" after you change your light cycle from 18/6 or 24/0 (whatever you have it on) to 12/12 you will notice preflowers growing afetr a few weeks and hopefully will be female. (do another search on identifying Males and Female flowers)


also prolly wanna get a little more light in there ;/
good luck!

it isnt that hard to do a hidden grow at a young age from your parents, i am sixteen and my plants are doing lovely, i have done many concealed grows indoors LOL, and it is that bad of a thing to do, if you get caught then you will get a warning from the police, nothing any worse than that, and then make sure you DONT EVER GET CAUGHT AGAIN OTHERWISE BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN(like jail) and don't slate him for growing without his parents consent.

good luck man keep us updated, when the plant gets bigger i think you will need more lights.

chaos, can I recommend something to you while you are still in the early stages? If you care to take some helpful advice. Try as best as you can to get your lights as close to your plants as humanly possible without burning them. What I mean by that is get your lights so they are withing 3-4 inches of the top of your plant. Now hold your hand in front of your plant and if you can keep it there for a minute, your golden. Then just move them accordingly. Also, I would pinch your stem, maybe for 2-3 weeks until it thickens up a bit. But while you are doing that, try and do some LST(low stress training) with that baby as well. Look around the house for some colored paperclips, or some string. What you are going to want to try and do is lay the plant onto the soil pretty much. Then as it matures it will reach for the light. But the whole purpose of LST is to keep your plant as low as possible and as it gets older it will throw out more branches at you in which you will have to LST as well. If you have any questions at all, we are all here to help. And I don't believe one should harp on you for growing in your parents house, i for one did it for 4 years(but outdoors) But if they find it and ask you about it, don't beat around the bush. And good luck with your grow, aside from a little bit of stretching, it looks really good!

awesome thanks much guys....what do u mean "pinch"? like actually pinch it or what lol? the lights right now are about 1 inch away from the plant(i wish i wouldnt known that sooner though...o well...now this LST what exactly do i do...i dont want to hurt the plant or anything.......i want to learn as much as possible about growing...im really getting into it

[MEME]

Easiest way I found to do LST was to take some paper clips, some string and some tape. Open up the paper clip so that you can get it around the stem and then close it. Tie the string to the paper clip and then slowly and gently lay your plant onto the soil or until you feel it getting really flimsy. I went a little bit each day, because as you bend the stem, it heals into that possition and makes it a little bit harder to move as the plant gets older. And with pinching, yes I mean just pinch the stem, not to the point where it is paper thin, but enough that you squeeze it together. This same method relates to your own body muscles, as you work out, you pinch and tear your muscles(that's what makes them get bigger) because as the heal themselves they will actually grow bigger to better protect yourself. so give your stem a little pinch first, then take your paper clip or some sort of weighted object and tie down your plant so that it is as low as possible. Later on if you would like I can show you step by step instructions and the tool needed to top your plant, which will in the end give you a much shorter plant.

good luck and be gentle, girls like it rough but at the same time you need to go easy, they are much smaller than you!
