Help me and my gf be successful at our first grow

Hello everyone =)

My girlfriend and I are doing are first grow... a little back story..

We tossed five seeds into a plastic folgers container and what do you know...they all sprouted. we eventually moved them into 12 inch pots and just let them be outside, watering them every day or so.

well of course they started to get big....kind of skinny...just because i couldnt get them into bigger pots soon enough. so i've decided to leave four of the plants outside for the time being, and really work on one inside. They have been outside now for about 3 months now (just a guess. i really wasnt keeping track at first, it was just kind of a chance, but now im super interested in making these work out =)

Ive got a five foot tall, about 2.5 foot wide 1.5 foot deep grow tent.

my plant is as tall as my tent so ive started to do some tying down...any help would be awsome

SO i moved one of my plants inside its been about five days now and i have just a small 24w 6400K bulb up there, which I am excited to replace.

My good friend just gave me three bottles of nutrients, which honestly right now i know nothing about, but if any one has any ideas on how they might help out this grow i would thank you after every toke =)

So basically my question is, best advice for lighting now?

I also plan on pulling that box fan out and putting in duct and a different fan outside of the tent tomorrow as well.

Thanks for any help! Cheers

Not familiar with fox farm nutes although I know a lot of people use it at 50% strength.

As for that plant, its too tall for that tent. When you start to flower they double sometimes triple in size. Either throw it back outside or cut that thing in half.
As for lighting, that 1 bulb is not nearly enough. People shoot for over 100 watts per plant. I used Y splitters, pvc, and a lamp kit and ended up making a CFL fixture to house 6 bulbs.

how would i go about cutting her down..yikes makes us nervous haha

...shiiiiiii let me take some pictures of the other outdoor ones. let me know if they are males? be back in ten minutes

You should have started LST from the start if height was gonna be an issue. First grow though so just keep it in mind for next time. Hopefully you have a female growing somewhere.

any ladies???

you think any of these are ladies? im tying her down now, any advice on what im doing?

i wishing myself luck, any idea on these plants?

first n second pic r males others look female....peace....ps. see the balls on em

those little seedy looking things? do you see those in my first picture, the one i brought inside allready?

Looks like pics 1 and 2 are male.. not sure about the other pics..

I would try to steak it.

first and 2nd pics are males for sure! and the 4th pic is a female for sure. the rest i can barely see

take pics where the node forms off the stem.

First 2 pics are FULL BLOWN males. you should of pulled them a long time ago, you may be too late and already have a crop that will be seeded. i did see 1 female, but like i said, it may be too late.

That's really for people that have fertile good soil^If soilless potting mix, you can go by the bottle.But it is best to start low, and see how the plants reacted, and go from there.

so all the seedy looking ones i got rid of. leaving just these inside. these have to be ladies right???

They look like females yes. You have alot of learning to do my friend but if you dedicate a couple hours or days into reading up on cannabis, you will be on your way to some beautiful buds n no time. We all started off knowing just about the same as you. My best suggestions for right now are this. Go to home depot and buy neem oil and use it to kill everything that may have come from outside into your tent. use this for two weeks religiously, trust me. Bugs can be wicked, worse than you can imagine. Before home depot go on google and find a bottled water source that is close to a ph of 7. very important. unless your tap is close to 7 but mine isnt so i use bottled water. once you have good water with no chlorine mix your fox farm nutrients into the water at HALF STRENGTH. That should do it for now id say
