This is my first grow, using a 135 actual watts blurple full spectrum greenlight along with two 17 watt supplemental 3500k LED spot lights. Using just a simple potting soil from home depot and fertilizing with foxfarm liquid trio, just switched to tiger bloom and big bloom. One plant slightly different from other two. It seems like it is getting.little buds on top where the other two are getting white hairs.. is it a male? I dont see any ball zacks at the internodes.

I have had a CBD variety start flowering like the first pics she came through it. Also I stay one veg fertilizer through the stretch. Good luck.

So even when you see preflower you stay on veg nutes? I thought that was when you were supposed to switch.. again.. FNG here.

Pre flowering can show up at any time. Just to be clear we’re talking about the pistils (if it is female) that develop at the nodes along the stem. To answer your ? Yes, I stay on veg nutes for the first two weeks of bloom phase. During the stretch phase there is really rapid growth. All the growth need N. How bid is the area you are lighting?

1½' deep x 3' wide x 5½' tall not a very big area at all. Didnt expect 3 plants to make it, but when they did I was selfish and didnt want to give them up

If you’re growing regs and they have balls only, no pistils, then you have males. If they’re showing both that’s hermie.
Seeds are expensive, correct? Why not breed your own strain? Commit to it and pollinate her entirely. Or you can isolate one cola, surgically pollinate that one bud, and cover it with cheesecloth the rest of the grow. That’s the most practical, as you get both seedless flower, and a few dozen seeds. It’s easy and it works. Good luck

Yeah they are expensive. But I got five seeds for free from the vault last week, I am going to throw the female out I took a few clones in case it turns out to be great bud but the strains I got from the vault will set me up. Once I grow those I was contemplating using STS to force a branch to harm, take that branch and the pollen from the herm and pollinate individual buds with a tiny brush or qtip. Been researching this a lot.

This is not a disaster, so keep calm and grow on. 3 plants yield the same as 1 plant IF you grow them out in the space. You’ve lost nothing really, even though you’re disappointed right now. You have to grow one plant longer than three to equal the yield, but that’s only a couple of weeks more grow time. Con calma hermano. This is evolution. You’re learning.
And consider pollinating surgically as I described above to save $ on seeds. And to create your own personal strain!! So many great possible names;

Wonder Kush( or toss in anything appropriate - haze, widow, etc)

Watch closer in veg next time. I'm sure those balls have been visible for a while now. Those are some fat stalks though and the plants look healthy, great job either way.

Haha. Yep. That’s how you do it. I got one pack of 10 seeds in 2012. Turned those into 10,000 seeds since!

Thank you, and I have been watching them very close. I swear those balls were not there one day and then there the next. Afterwards I inspected the rest and found nothing. Then the next day the second male revealed itself. Perhaps with a magnifying glass I would have seen them.. I should get one. But thank you I have nursed them since first week of august. Havent had a single problem.. besides the obvious sausage fest .but that came from a lot of reading and asking questions before ever starting.
 
I spread my lonely lady out, since she now has plenty of room. She has been in flower for 11 days now. Continuing to feed veg nutes hoping she will fill the remaining canopy before she slows down
Just wait there gonna swell week 3 or 4 in its insane my bag seeds taking up my 220 watt 2ft by 4 ft 5 ft high grow room she’s my only one for now nugs are getting huge pictures don’t do justice

That's very nice but do you have a deficiency going on? Leaves all have brown spots and yellowing. Just looks strange to me. I'm new at this so just asking questions. Didnt know if I were to expect that with mine as well.
