Nutrient requirements are different for each cannabis strain. So start with 1/4 of the regular amount of nutrient and work up a little each week.

Hi All Newbie here

Some advice please on where i go from here. I have 4 plants approx all the same height about 18 inches. All of these were infected with spider mites when given to me at 6 inches. I now managed to free the all of this darn bug. I had to take alot of the leaves off of them because they were damaged. 2 of these plants are now ready to as their folage has really come back and are I assume ready to flower. But this is where i get confused because i have read so many conflicting ways on here on what to do at this stage. I've grown these plants on my window sill. At present it has been really hot so i have been putting them in the garden during the day and bringing them in at night when it cools, back to their resting place on the window sill.
For the last couple of days i have been putting one plant under the stairs in darkness for 12 hours then it comes out to join the rest of his/her friends. I thought i would do this one by one so i could sex the plants. Is this okay? From what I've read within 10 days I should find out if its male or female. If it was female I was going to take a cutting from this. Is this the right stage to do this? Also how long do i keep up with the 12 on and 12 off for? Any advice on where to go from here would be appreciated. I'm not using any lights unless its sunlight. Feed is tomato plant food. And plenty of TLC. Dont want to go into growing big time just want a constant supply of the smoking stuff. They are growing okay doing it the natural way i am and would like to keep it going like this. This is the first time I have grown this stuff so please keep it simple please. I've never heard of some of the things you guys are talking about is this because i am in the UK and many of these products are available in other countries?
Any help from here on would be appreciated. Many Thanks

There are many photos in these forums and also in the GrowFAQ section of this sites. You can also do a Google search of cannabis flowers and find hundres to look at.

But the short answer is this, does those flowers have white hair coming out of them? Yes = girl. Do the flowers look like little coconuts on a tree? Yes = boy.

A full moon will cast shadows. So some small amout of leakage is not going to hurt your plants. You might consider putting a curtain in front of the room door.

oh wow sweet ass grass

There are pictures of trichrome crystals in some of the threads. A cheap lense will show when the crystals are amber; which is when they offer peak results.

Some people split their harvest over a week or two to maximize the quality crystals.

thanks for all the answers. it's a nice welcome to the community!

First let the plant grow at least 8 inches. Then cut the plant top off. The plant will then grow two new main stems. Allow them to grow four inches and then top them. They will grow four new stems, from the two ends. Now you have a bush.

Most plant books explain the process. It is pretty simple.

Good.shit
