Ok, heres the story.
My late downstairs neighbor had a few babies growin in the downstairs apartment. His daughter approached me before throwing them out and asked if i would like one. She said i was a good friend to her father and he had expressed to her that he would like me to have one since i had kept him company for so many hours and keeping him busy instead of letting him sit by himself all the time. So i have a few questions and hopefully i can get some answers.
1.) He had a fluorescent grow light which I also attained and am using, should I look into another light or will this one work?
2.) The plant was on a 12/12 schedule which i heard is normal but I'd like to get a little more height and bushiness to it so I moved it back to an 18/6. Should I keep 12/12 or continue with my hours?
3.) Theres a few leaves that have either been clipped off, or had the tips die, pics will show what im talking about and any information on that would be great.
4.) Also, the dirt was damn near bone dry, so i watered it til water ran out the hole on the bottom. I took care not to over-water it but i wanted to make sure the dirt was good and moist. Any tips on that would be great too. Im pretty sure as long as i don tkeep the water saturated Ill be ok. I believe he said he watered it every 3 days - 16oz of water?
5.) I was wondering if the grow box i have set up will accomodate a plant or is there something else i should do to it?
6.)The plant has the characteristics of a female, its been cloned, and also where the branches come off the stalk, it has a flower/bud there. Upon closer inspection it looks as if it does have white pistils comming out of them. Theyre very fine like a piece of hair and hard to see so im not 100% sure if it truely is female. Any better way to tell if it is or isnt? -crosses fingers for female-
Thats all i can think of for now. I took some pics to show the setup and if theres any other info you guys can think to give me itd be greatly appreciated.
Pic 1 - The setup against the wall, how it will be for majority of the time.
Pic 2 - The inside of the growbox.
Pic 3 - The cut leaves. 1 - 2 - 3
Pic 4 - Box height
Pic 5 - Plant height
EDIT: Also, is being grown in my closet - 65-75 degrees, door open to the bedroom so air movement can flow. I live in the suburbs of a smaller city(like 35-45k people) and my water is well water = no city additives so should i wait the 24 hours or can i just water from the tap(also live on a freshwater lake so the water table is relatively high and good chemical balance from both lake/tap) Ive germinated a few plants and also helped crop some others but never have I been thrown a plant in the middle of the process. Thats where my state of confusion is comming into all of this cause one day I was wishing i had some buds...the next day I have a plant... o,O Thanks in advance for your help
