1-2 weeks into flowering. Male or female?

ok let me start off by explaining whats been going on for a while.

i've stunted 1 of my plants very badly that it is only 3 inches tall, with leaves drooping a lot (i've dropped it and damaged it's roots before).

My second one is in much better shape but yesterday I accidentally dropped it as well...but it seems to be recovering nicely. i've discovered that the roots were not stretched far at all; meaning it is around 1-2 inches long. how can i get the roots to grow longer?

both of my plants are starting to show fingerlike hairs. are these indications of female or are they ambiguous? i seen on the plants this small ball thing..and im afraid its a male. it's hard to tell though.. its like:

\|.|/

SIDEVIEW. the | | being the stem, the \ and / being the hairs, and this small ball above the branch. you can sorta see the bump on picture 5, which is above the right branch


NUTES: i have no clue what to do. are nutes the same as ferts? i'm curently feeding it house plant fertilizer with a number of 15-15-18 (idk what that is but maybe you guys can tell me).

can anyone tell me what I should get in the flowering stages? products from Home Depot would help me a lot since it's a bit close to where I live.


the pots are only about 7 inches in diameter and about 5-6 inches in depth. is that big enough? I'm also running only a 23watt Cool White (2700k range) CFL which is about 1100 lumens. i'm growing it in a 2x2x2 feet box with aluminum foil around every side.

Poor little guys.

Balls mean male... Hairs mean female.

Overly stressed females tend to go Hermie, but you still have a good chance. Yes, they are small, but if you do everything right, you will still get a little smoke out of them.

Use this as a chance to tweek the rest of your setup.
