Opinions on my first grow...

u can ask them, they will sell some sort of suitable "bloom booster" I am sure. Make sure u ask them how to use it while u r there!

Here's a few more pictures of the plant as it is now.

Can anyone tell me if its male or female, i dunno if its too earlier or not but i'm seeing no sacks but what appears to be the start of hairs.

Any help is help

Just having a look around the plant with a loop glass and I spotted this little thing.
Is it a hair?

nope, keep checking, especially in the tops, balls gen show first

mylars not expensive at all 10 bucks will get you 5x20 from hydro stores and if u want smaller they cut for you well atleast hydro stores this way but it is also probally much cheaper on ebay and mylars pretty much the best wall reflector from what ive heard!

just gonna sick with the plain matt white walls.

I've LST'd the plant at its 4 main branches.
It's really helped to expose the nodes growing underneath and there all starting to grow up the light making more bud sites

Looking good. Too early to determine sex, though...just keep an eye out, you'll know pretty soon.

I'm sub'd for this, I wanna see how it works out. Best of luck

DAY 5 OF FLOWERING.

Looking good so far, seeing a bit of growth.
I LST'd the plant the day before flowering, will this slow growth for a week or so?

can't wait to see it start to flower

maybe the first 3-4 days, then BOOM, BAM, u might see it growing an inch or more a DAY!

MAJOR PROBLEM!!!!!

A branch broke today!
So fucking pissed!

It's one of the mail branches on the plant, snapped right from the base.
Here's pictures to go with it.

Is there anything I can do with it, maybe get some roots going and plant it? ? ? ?

So bummed out over this, going to seriously hault my yield

k, so we have all done this & it SUCKS. looks like in one pic it was still attached & then in the next on a towel? anyway, no its not going to work to grow roots & think it will just resume flowering but YES, u could have duct taped it gently together if almost or completely detached & it should fuse back together. I had this happen on my current grow where I topped for 4 main tops, the smallest snapped. It was still intact, like it shows in ur first pic & I just left it there, that is the other option, amazingly enough it keeps on keeping on. sry didnt see ur post sooner, hope u were able to salvage it. last option is to revert back to veg, but that could take 3 weeks to get it vegging again, then if u added 2 weeks growth time, well u stalled the entire grow before going back to flower by 5 weeks, ouch. question, do u even know if this is a females? sry didnt want to go back through all the pages & I forgot.

i have the branch sitting in water beside the plant with good light on it.
It seems to be getting on but it has started to droop a bit today, do you think it could still fuse together?
Or should i just forget it or veg it ?

The plant is coming along nicely, it looks to me like female, no balls insight.

fuse it no way, not going to happen at this point. probably getting ready to die, if it hasnt shown any roots after 8 days, it is not likely to do so, & therefore u cant veg something u can grow roots on. no news or balls in this case good news

its a male

only thing is on the top of one of the colas theres hairs, like on a female.
all the colas are starting to get this, could it be a hermi?

I still haven't chopped it coz i wanna see if i get any sort of bud off it.
I have another plant separate on 24 hour light, might put it into flowering and see what happens.

would have to see updated pics, could be hermi, that sucks. seperate u mean a different room?

i'll get pics tomorrow.

yeah ones in the attic, ones in my room.

couldve stressed it into hermi when that snapped off

be aware if u have any air ducts that go from one room to another or are actively using fans in the room with the male/hermie & there is active pollen or pods that may open, it can find its way to ur other room & then pollinate & seed ur other plants, u dont want that to happen.

Yeah, I have the female in the new plant in the attic, the male in my wardrobe.

I've cut down the male, wasn't bothered keeping it any longer.

SO!!!!
MOVING ON!


My next plant has been on 24-0 for around 6 weeks but was planted at the same time as my cut down male, along time i know, late to blossom.
Since switching to 24-0 I noticed a massive growth increase and its getting really bushy with huge, health leaves and LOTS of alternate nodes.
It has been fed straight water since the start, no nutes at all and is in organic compost.

Had to change the pot 2 days ago, heres a pic and 1 of it today.

Plan on switching to 12-12, tomorrow.
But first I will do 36 hours black out.

I've learned alot form my first plant and i hope i get a female this time.
FINGERS CROSSED.

i'd skip the 36 hrs blackout, simply from 12 off to 12 on. That 24-36 hrs dark time is best just before harvest. I know some people will tell u it might jump start flowering, it is bs as far as i'm concerned, & might be the reason u got a hermie last time...might.
