You're not going to need 5 gallon pots with CFL's.

Female. Good idea to learn how to differentiate males & females if you plan on growing. Asking in here is often the same as guessing yourself.

I am seeing fresh, young white stigma and a thin, immature & airy bud. This is on a plant that has been flowering for 47 days. If someone sees amber trichomes on a plant a week into flowering, is it done? Of course not. It would be very revealing if the OP lets that particular bud go for 3 more...

Don't wait to see the actual rot. The first thing you'll see is the pin or "sugar" leaves in the bud dying and shriveling up. If you see a dead or dying or just wrong looking leaf in a bud, pull on it lightly. If it comes out with little effort, you probably have rot inside that bud. High...

This is why the trichome/microscope thing is BS. That plant is clearly not finished. Dont need a pocket microscope to see that. A few weeks at the very least.

You flushed the nutrients out in the middle of flowering. The leaves look like they should on a plant that is ready to harvest but your plant doesnt look finished. It looks like it is way underfed and immature. The stigma show that the plant is not ready. A ripe plant will not have an...

Molasses and other sugars feed the bacteria in soil. It is not a beneficial bacteria. From what I understand, mycorrhizae and trichoderma don't work together. Its either one or the other. IMO, you shouldn't be too concerned with bb in coir. That stuff is best in organic "living soil" mixes...

water your plants when they need water not on a schedule you read on the internet. I measure nutrients by the gallon as in "5mL/gal cal-mag 5mL/gal grow formula" etc. I use a syringe (no point) to draw and measure. They have larger volumes available for large animals like horses. Grow shops...

I don't think "bud" is the word you're looking for. The buds only appear in flowering. Cotyledons are the first things you see break the surface. I would eliminate all unnecessary steps. Plant the seed in good potting soil. Provide the best environment you can and wait. Healthy seeds want to...

I would think it will not retain enough water. If it were a proven medium you would no doubt see more people doing it and more products "engineered for cotton" ;) Go for it though. Let us know how it turn out.

Congratulations. This is one of the few actual hermaphrodites I have seen in these "is this a hermie?" threads. There are both full female (1st pic) and male (2nd pic) flowers at different places on the same plant.

Heat signatures aren't going to get you busted. Even in the exceptional case where this technique were used, it would be tossed by any judge before it even went to trial. Anyway, if you are able to use CFL's for your grow, you're not big enough to put out a heat signature of any significance...

That looks like calcium deficiency to me.

less light. Roots dont need light. Youre not trying to grow plants, youre trying to grow roots. I keep my cuttings off to the side where they are several feet away from my fixture. They get indirect flourescent light only, and only 18hrs, what my vegging plants get. Lose the heat mat. I cant...

Three fingered leaves arent really what makes a ducksfoot variety unique. Its more of how the leaf blades are connected to each other like a ducks toes.... are they called toes on a duck? I dont see anything too out of he ordinary. Three and even one bladed leaves are pretty common on cannabis...

"sweeteners", molasses, honey, etc dont add sugars to the plant. They are to feed the microbes in the soil which in turn promote a healthy root zone. The plant produces sugars through photosynthesis. I think they are unnecessary and sold mostly to unsuspecting growers who think they'll make...

what is so obviously male about it?

Uniform yellowing of lower leaves is characteristic of nitrogen deficiency. What are you feeding them? How much hand how often? If you introduce more intense lighting, the plant will "work" more. It requires more nutrients/water to keep up with increased photosynthesis due to the lighting...

The break was probably too severe. The stem was too damaged to transport nutrients back and forth and began to die. Why did you cut the whole plant? Removing the damaged area would have been fine and the rest pf the plant probably would have responded with a growth spurt and new flower site...

If you know what to look for, you wont have to wait for others to tell you. Females are pretty easy to spot. Two white stigma will emerge in a "V" shape from single teardrop shaped calyxes near the internodes. Males look like little bunches of bananas or balls and will have no stigma. Males...
