Hey, so this is my first grow. I read about 3 grow guides as well as googled my fucking fingers off and, well, I can’t figure out what gender these 2 plants are. Also, can’t find anything close to the white pistols growing in the middle of the plant: See photos.

- 7 weeks from seed/4in tall/only 3 node leaves
- running 12/12 method. Space is limited and not looking for abundant harvest. This is mostly a trial/error grow.
- Light: iplantop 1000w LED. Using only the veg option (has both veg & bloom settings) 15in above plants.
- I believe I repotted them too early (solo cup to 3 gal pots @ 2 weeks) and possibly overwatered once I brought them in from outside 2 weeks ago. Last water was a week ago. They started reaching while outside but have since stopped. Now they seem stunted. Possibly due to insane root growth?

Also, sorry about pic quality. I can’t get a super clear pic, but hoping these could possibly help get me some answers. Thanks for the time y’all!

1000w at 15” sounds way too close for seedlings. I’d think that would stunt them more likely than going from Solo to 3 gal.
I use a 280 actual watt blurple and keep my seedlings 3’ away, and let them grow into it. If I see stretch I’ll lower the light.
Sounds like a typical first grow. You’ll do fine.

it came to mind reading your post. Enjoy growing and your harvest.

Haha, yeah man, I’ve been sorta racking my brain over it, lol. I’ll go ahead and raise up the light tonight when it’s time for dark. Thanks for the response:smile:

Yep i tripped out too on size for 7 weeks ... it’s literally like plant SKIPPED the veg stage. ...

OP , consider this plant more trouble than its worth.
Its already transitioning to flower and maybe get a few grams from it.

There is NO REASON to pop a grow under 12/12 from start unless you are entering a solo cup challenge. If you were shooting for id of females you got to let them grow out naturally at least 4-6 weeks so they mature then you can throw it under 12/12 till sex out and cull the dudes.

Seedling pretty much stressed flowered .

Also, they can call that a 1000 watt light but it isn't. It's a 180 watt light with both the veg and bloom on. Since you're running 12/12 they will not get much bigger. You should have let them veg before switching to 12/12.

That plant is 7 weeks old? You have a problem.
Here's a comparison at 7 weeks old.

Good luck.
Exactly, I have no clue why they are so tiny! It seems like they shot up quick from seed then once I repotted and brought them inside they went stagnant other than top leaves growing in and those pistils popping up like 2 days ago.

Are you using the 12/12 grow method as well? Could skipping the veg stage really make it not fill out at all? Idk dude, I’m just gonna keep them on this schedule and ride it out. Maybe I’ll get to enjoy a gram from these little homies.. lmaooo

Oh wow! I admit it was a quick buy based off amazon reviews. The weather shot down cold really fast and I needed a light asap.
