Howdy THC,

Where exactly,are ya gonna grow in your parents house ? In your room,closet or basement ?

The lighting schedule should be either 24/7,the first couple of weeks or so,18/6 ,the next 6 weeks and 12/12,the last 8-12 weeks. You'll be able to tell their sex after putting them onto a 12/12 light schedule,sometime in the first few weeks of 12/12. The males will have clusters of 'balls' and the females will have a couple of pistels,looks like a v-shape. As for watering them,you can tell by the lightness of the pot-if ya can pick it up easily in one hand or if the plant starts to droop,it's time to water,alternating between regular water and fertilized water.

As for changing the sex-you can't,unless you want seeds,you'll have to pull the males before their 'ball's' open up and spew pollen everywhere.

Have a good one...Torog
