My First Grow (pics)

[thurak]

Hey everyone. I was walking in my backyard the other day when i noticed something crazy. It was 4 or so inch plant growing right in the flower bed where i throw my bong water. I never planted any seeds there so it must have been from a seed in the gravity bong water. It was pretty out in the open so i tranplanted it to a discreet location out of view. Im not sure how old it is nor its gender. Im a newb at this and i cant belive how great its looking already! Its growing awfully fast and i cant have it getting much taller, i need some advice on keeping it short. I couldnt figure out where to make cuts, so i didnt mess with it. Can anyone identify its gender or is it too early? Also any other advice would be much appreciated. These are some pictures i took earlier today. It measured 9" tall. Please let me know how my babys doing. :rasta:

thurak: a bit off topic, though I wanted to comment on the following sentence of yours..

Cutting back the size does not help the plant get any sharper.
If you want your herb to look good in a picture, you need to make sure the camera focuses on the plant itself rather than the background or it'll be out of focus and thus blurry. (Example, your first picture appears to have the focus on the plant behind it, your second picture appears to have the focus somewhere on the ground rather than the plant itself).

Usually, most digital cams have an LCD where you can see a square which indicates the focus point when the release button is half-pressed.
Make sure to have the focus point/square on the plant itself, not the background and you will make them look good.
If you are getting too close to the plant for taking a picture, the camera in its default setting, is likely unable to focus at that distance. You should have a "digital macro" setting on the camera, turn it on whenever you are close to the subject(anything below 20-30cm likely) Play a little with the distance and the focusing bracket on the camera... you'll get it and they pictures will tell a lot more afterwards :-)

Just thought I'd throw in my 0.02$
