ima total noob at growing..its my first and i need help!

hey i pretty much started smoking weed last year and all i could think about is...wow i spend sooo much on weed every month..why dont i just grow it myself..so i been doing a lot of reading and stuff and i know that i need lights to grow in side and alll but i dont have all of that right now..


ok well here is some pics of my first marijuana plant..
im pretty sure its a lil over a month old and i started late in the season, its been outside all of this time and today i brought it inside cause in minnesota it gets cold fast so i had to to avoid it from freezing to death, i currently do not have a light so i have it by a window..probely not the best idea but i have to make due. i need a question answered is it a male or female from these pictures, if its too bad quality im sorry.. the size of the plant is 8.5 inches.
my pics are bad quality but i willl get some better ones tomarrow.

Wow,you have have alot to learn..my best advice is to READ,READ..and oh yeah,READ!!There is much to learn in the art of cannabis cultivation...it is a rewarding hobby,and for some,a passion..To answer your question,that is most likely a female...

Remember females grow long pistils or "hairs"at every budsite,and the males grow BALLS..these balls will then open,and release pollen...GL

o man have i been reading ha ha..i get like the 12/12 concept and 18/6 light stuff... but overall...what do you think, will it probely produce buds or will it die of shock because i put it inside?

im not sure if its female. that looks like a new node starting.

you mean node reffering to a male or female?
oo Btw in those pictures..you cant really see it but the plants are full of little white hairs..is that good?

node isnt referring to the sex of it
and also i believe that is female

good i like to here that its a female, sorry i dont understand all of the lingo yet..but what do you think will it die cause it was outside but then i moved it inside but its still getting sunlight? by a window

I would say its too early to tell. You wont know for a bit. I am on my first grow as well but my plant looks like a giant compared to yours and I cant tell yet and I have had mine for 6 or 7 weeks (Posted Below). It looks fine but you need CLFs asap if you want it to grow good luck.

i say she is female. give her another day or two in 12/12 and you will see the little white hairs starting to sprout. check out my pic to see a female just showing her sex.

well mine is only around week 4 so i woulldnt look too i dentical, and can anyone tell me when to start 12/12

yeah i really cant tell if those are pistles or hairs look a lil more on the pistle side

and yeah i would recommend u gettin CFLS quick so u can start ur cfl grow and havent u been growin it outside so doesnt that mean its been non the 12/12 schedule already???? unless u been takin it inside and puttin them in some light imma keep followin this one +rep and GL

any time after it starts showing preflowers like yours is.
the preflowers let you know the plant is sexually mature and can be flowered 12/12 at anytime depending on how big you want it to get. it will usually get 2 to 3 times the size before its finished flowering so a 12inch plant could get anywhere between 24 and 36 inches depending on lighting and strain

the closeups are not clear at all but, shit happens. tell me what you think, and im just using the sun so should i even attempt to do 12/12 myself of should i let it do its own course till buding beggins?

when it hits 12 inches in height switch to 12/12 after 4-5 days..depending on plant..you will see the white hairs...if u don't you'll see a small sack under the stem instead of white hairs forming on top the stem. the sack showing is male

i see a shit load of white hairs

she's a female! you'll see her fill up with white fuzzy hairs soon

kool very nice, is there anychance i could get a lil high if i took one of those leaves and dried them and smoked them?

I don't see any hairs. I think it's too soon to tell yet - your side branching is just starting.

yea man i dont see shit still looks to early give it soe time
