So I started two plants from two seeds that came out of a GOOD, GOOD bag of smoke. First I germinated them (wrapped them in a wet paper towel and put them in a humid area). It literally only took 3 days and I had 4 inch long roots, they had broken away from their seeds AND the first leaves were appearing! Here's a pic...
Next I planted them in a SMALL cup and drilled holes in the bottom for drainage. Then kind of just hung a light over them in the open, ONE seemed to take off fairly quick and the other never got passed the point in this picture....
Now, to make a long story short, I transplanted the bigger of the two into a bigger pot (its final resting place). I got rid of the small plant because the bigger one started to show (what I believe) pistils. The replant pot was filled with my own mixture of medium. It consisted of (AROUND) 3/4 Organic Miracle Gro Potting Soil and the rest a mix of "building sand", VERY good outdoor topsoil and a LITTLE plant food (can't remember the EXACT name, but it looked like pebbled rocks). Next, I moistened the new top soil and hole for the root ball with water that had a SMALL amount of SuperThrive in it. Then in she went....
Before all of this was done, I created a grow box out of an old small dresser. The bottom drawer is permenatly shut (until I want it to be
) and the top drawer got turned into a flip out door for examination and watering! You'll be able to see what I'm talking about when you look at the following pictures! A hole was cut in the back of the dresser so the fan could point in and give this plant air, two small holes were cut in the sides of the dresser so that it could easily "draft" threw. I ran my lights threw holes cut in the top of the dresser and then "coated" the interior of it with thick aluminum foil. Pictures are as follows...
With the box covered.... incognito!!!
With the box uncovered... a dresser huh??
Here's the light at the end of the tunnel when you open it! lol
The hole and fan blowing threw the back!
Looking in now....
And last but not least, here she (what I hope is a SHE) is up close!!! The "burns" or deficiencies on the first and the little bit on the second leaves are from the transplant. I'm sure they'll fall off eventually, look at the new SUPER GREEN leaves growing from the middle now though! The roots are starting to catch in the new soil and she's about to take OFF.... yesss!
SO what do yall think? Female? Good setup? Should I cut off those leaves that look bad and continue with the good? Or just let them fall on their own? I need some input.... My REAL question, what are the odds of this being a female?!
I'm still in vegetative stage, and I plan to LST so it stays low and bushy... when can I start the training? I've always heard after the 3rd nod. Remember, this is a personal grow... nothing big and spectacular! Thanks to any replies ahead of time, need all the help I can get!!

). I just really needed some questions answered on the plant itself you know? The only other questions I needed answered is when to LST and switch to flowering! Those questions have been answered throughout this thread thus far, so I will continue at the pace I'm at! If anymore questions pop up regarding ANYTHING, I'll most definitely ask AND keep y'all updated on the grow! Nonetheless, thanks for all the replies everyone and any comments are welcomed!
post some pics!
