so ive been growing this plant along with 2 others in a aero garden and it was going well or i thought it was they were growing slow then the aerogarden stoped moving water so i was like crap and i gave the 2 smallest plants to my friend and i put the larger one in soil "miracle grow" is that bad? i dont think it is because its gotten so much bigger and healthier looking since i did. here are soem pics i dont know if its male or female yet hoping for the best but let me know what you guys think.

Does look stretched. Reminds me of a couple of plants I grew on my window sill when I was a lad.

U might wanna put a bamboo stick or something in there mate to support it, try and find out wot lights u got, that's prob why its streching, not enough light, u could repot into a larger pot, plant it with the roots at the bottom so u bury some of the stalk, I don't lnow if u have a fan in there but an oscillatin fan blowin on it will strengthen the stalk, if its cfl make sure the light is as close as poss without burning it u want it to be 1-2" from the top of the plant. Also it might be worth topping it, and maybe bending, good luck with ur grow!

Well mate, everything I know I learned from this site, I'm only on my first grow so a couple of months back I didn't know anything about growing, RUI is the ultimate for finding anything out, I think there is a thread called unclebens topping technique or something like that, it will explain everything, clones are cuttings usually from known good females that are alreadu mature so u could flower them straight away if u wanted, they are genetically the same as the mother plant(these are only brief descriptions, I'm no expert!) When u top it stops vertical growth of the main stem u cut off the first new growth at the top, the leaves that havnt properly come out yet, that'll give u 2-4 new main colas which will grow taller but ull have 2-4 bud sites instead of 1 search out uncleben mate that explains it properly, it won't kill ur plant mate good luck!

Also.... wot welshsmoker means is when u cut the top new growth off u can use rooting powder or gel and turn ur cutting into a clone of the plant u have, +rep for welshsmoker he's a legend!

yes mate as csj said sound, but depending on how long you can veg for if you take about 3 or 4" of the top of the plant and put them cuttings into a medium they should reroot into new plants, it takes a couple of weeks for them to reroot then they come back as clones of the mother, try to keep them under cfls for 20/4 .. and by topping you will get a bushier plant, i have topped some plants over ten times, every time a new branch comes just take a cutting and 2 colas will come back, so 1 topping = 2 tops . 2toppings = 4 tops, 4 tops = 8 tops, ect, but if you do that to every branch tops are endless depending on veg time,
good luck..
dont now about legend either, my brother calls me bell end though.. lol
