bury them right up to first set of leaves, to minimize stem stretch, get a fan on them. they should vibrate from the breeze. water every 3-4 days only, no0 nutes or ferts for first 3 weeks make sure drain holes work. get the light closer, use your hand at plant tops, move light till hand is warm, not hot, as plants grow you have to either adjust lights or plants for the proper height, read 'growfaq' at page top...

Keep it. For all you know that is your only female. I've had mongoloids turn into some of my best plants.

See that's the thing. I moved the light to take the picture. The lights is about 3 inches. I had the stronger light on it and it started to burn the leaves at 3 inches so I went back down all the way to a 75 watt. I have a clip on fan right above it blowing down on it. All the others plants look great. I am going to keep it and hope it will come out of it. All the other plants have went into vegetation and are doing well., They will be ready to go to 12/12 soon. I am going to keep it on 18/6. As for reading about I have. I should get my digital cameral out and you guys could get a real good look at the leaves. I am taking my pictures with my phone and it does not do that well of a job.
The ph is ok and I have a fan on it. It did do a little better when I first put the fan on it but slowly went back to looking like something Charlie Brown would grow. But at least it is still alive.

those pics are kinda blurry, but on the middle pic the node above the one your holding i see a little circle that COULD be a pollen sac. look at that circle up close, if its a little ball.. my condolences. if its a camera trick or something else keep on rolling. on the up side it seems a little young to be showing sex, unless you put it in 12 12 early. my advice is keep close eyes on it. if its male get it outta there.

ya I ripped it up last night. After I took the pics I took it out of the room and I came back and took another look at it and there was no doubt. The little retard plant had franks and beans. I was so pissed. I nursed that damn bastard and then it grew nuts. It was not showing sex at all the day before. When the lights came on I thought I saw nuts. It was like in the course of 3 hours it grew a few pairs. Well I guess it was a retarded plant. I should have expected it.I think I got it out of the area before it knocked up my three girls.dats a set of nuts girl.....

yeah those pollen sacks dont really look opened. they develop pretty quick but Id say that you more than likely looked over them without realizing it.ya I ripped it up last night.

After you get used to sexing plants its as easy as spotting dog ticks on skinheads.
You could always clone up those females you got to keep a female as a a mother and just never have to deal with it(@ least not as much anyways)

They are 14 days in to flowering. I thought it would be too late. They are all showing white hairs now. I would like to clone one for sure. Is it too late?

Ive cloned sativas before that were 30+ days into flowering, but it took 3 weeks to do in a dwc bubbler.
In my opinion as long as you cant see any definite buds you can probably squeeze out a clone still as long as you can keep it from dying before it roots.
see why you should have practiced with the male now?
here Ive found some pictures of the first clones I ever took in flowering

would you use rooting compound or water? I am going to put them in soil. Is skunk a sativia?

there are indica and sativa versions of the skunk genes....could be either, hang on lemme find a pic of yer plants....
id say that your plants are an indica dominant strain. that dosent mean that they dont have any sativa in them though, just more on the indica side.
all these attached pictures are of the same sativa strain. as well as those clone pics i posted up. the small one is a 1" clone flowered as soon as it got roots. see how much more sativa plants stretch in flowering?

See I am starting to think I have 3 different strains going. I have one that is really stretching and one that is still short and bushy and one that is in the middle. I am going to take some pic and post them. I think the picture of the plant on the bottom was a male and got turned into butter. I will take some new pics. The lights do not come on for another couple of hours. Oh and I think I might have 2 hermies. I show you those too.

chances are that your phenos are so different that they look like different strains. But it is possible since your seeds were freebies from friends or something(if i remember right) then they could be different strains.See I am starting to think I have 3 different strains going.
