You can not tell male from female by anything but their reproductive organs. Leaves mean nothing. Males will produce pollen sacks, females will produce pistils (to put it simply).
Definitely not enough light
At the beginning it was a little to far from the light, then when I got a new light that was closer, it wasn't bright enough. I got a new light over a week ago that is bright enough and close enough to the plant, and I do the 18/6 lighting.
I strongly second that.
Define "bright enough"
I have a white LED light that is 4in from the plant, I have this light until my cfls come in
Probably not enough light still....
You’re going to need some light man period
It's completely legal where I'm at, this is my first time growing, and I wanted to see what I can do with one plant for now, and then more once I get a good set up
One plant with your current soil mix and light will produce a bowl pack.
Continue with your current process...don't listen to anyone who disses your setup...as I understand it you're looking to try your hand at growing then reassess...is that about right? Sounds like a solid plan. The plant is in a large pot and that's fine but I think if you pulled it from the soil you'd see the roots doing most of the growing far down, maybe even 8 to 10" deep. So that's what's happening. That plus it's stretching for more light.
Thank you, and yes, I'm trying my hand at growing before I get an expensive set up. And I plan on stopping and pruning since I have to keep the plant on the smaller side instead of letting it get really tall.
Been legal here for a while to. At first I had the mind set that I have to do a single big grow so Ive only got plants 3 months out of the year. But I'm slowly realizing I can grow all year.
