you caught some nanners ..you gotta look for hairs and a tear drop shape that looks like a sideways vagina. something that looks viable to harbor seeds later. i think the pistils come first

haha and yes they are, im totally a novice at this, so if i get terminology wrong sorry in advance! They are getting the 2 white hairs at the nodes, then they split and start new leaves, up around the top i guess its the cola starting to form, and it is a tight cluster of them. I dont have any close up pics, just a few of the really terrible set up i have (going to have to get some of those weird bulbs, the round skinny ones, but not the super long florescents, though they may be florescents...they are about 23 bucks at lowes) let me see if i can find one, but i doubt it will be anything to tell...

yes bmeat, I have already said that I am AWARE of that. are you even READING anything that I am posting? Im not trying to be disrespectful, but you arent telling me anything i need to know, just what I already know, which is that the pics i posted are of a BOY.

these are 1/2 the pics i am uploading, you can see in the background of the first pic is labeled meahhh, which is the boy, but these pics are of all the other plants, NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE BOY THAT I ALREADY KNOW EXISTS!

these are the other 2 pics, and one family pic minus that boy <3
I am keeping him for observation purposes, and I took a clone off of the oldest, and my first, who is in another iso area with the first (and hopefully) a girl clone, which is at 8 days and is still growing so I am hoping its taking to the rooting process

they all look healthy but a little stressed. have you fed them too high of a nute concentration? is it too hot in their grow room with lights on? you should start a new thread

Why are you helping? Those plants look 1000 times better than that shit you call weed.

becuase i know what tacoing is, i experienced it on my tomato plant from feeding too much fish emulsion.

Just because it happened to one of your ridiculous plants doesn't mean its the only factor that causes it

i know..stress causes it. usually heat stress, but mine happened from over feeding.

My plants have been in 12/12 for aound 10 to11days maybe longer. I know it can take awhile for them to sex cause no matter how fast you try to get them to to show sex they wont till THEY ARE ready. Thing is im starting to see alot of V shaped pistils, I think I read that the v shaped pistils are on females. Have any of you guys noticed v shaped pistils on your female plants??

Here's a couple real good pics somebody put up a while ago.
Female
Male

well ill address those questions now
+average temp is between 72-76 degrees with lights on
+ i do not add nutes to my plants, and i havent had any reason to as of yet, I have some bloodmeal but havent added it to the medium which is:
+ 50% organic seedling soil, and a 25/25 blend of perlite and verm
( i havent transplanted them, from seedlings germed in peat moss blocks they go into organic paper pots, and when the stems start to stretch, this gives the the benefit of putting the whole thing in pots to bury the stems when they stretch, without stressing them from a full transplant <3 )
+ they have an average 7.5 ph, 8pt moisture
+ lights are daylight cfl's
I do have a question about lights, since i am in the flowering stage, are the daylight cfl's still okay?
And i dont know how well of a compliment it is about how well they look based on bmeats, but as this is my first round, I say thanks

thats a good soil. you need orange lights for flower, or your buds wont be dense. get some 2700-3000k bulbs. also your plants are a little stretched, so get the lights closer.

the ph is too high. soil ph should be 6-7. soilless ph should be 5.5-6. fertilizer will lower the ph without having to use ph down, but if youre flowering you dont want to use a high nitrogen fertilizer.

lemon is also a good ph down, lemon chelates calcium.

okay, so with me stating what my lights are, temp is, and medium is, and you say that my plants are stressed, what do you, in your infinite wisdom, think is "stressing" them,
the lights are as low as they can be without being at a dangerous spot to fry them. they arent stretching anymore, they got that way from having them originally too far away, because like I said, I am new, and then came across a sticky thread about how to bury the stretchy stems, and fixed it.

Bmeat......take care of your own first bro. try to get your PH between 6.5-6.8, but never over 7, to prevent lockout. Happy to say those other ones look female, what strain are you growing?

Use mainly 2700k, But you do need some 6500k as well, just not nearly as much. Reason being, photosynthesis takes place on two ends of the light spectrum. Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B. Blues and Reds are needed in both cycles just way more of one in each cycle, other may not agree but here ya go....

Your plants aren't stressed either, just new growth. everything is optimal, other than PH which isn't too big of a deal in veg since it can be corrected. have you thought of goin HPS? Just a small one, like 150-250 watts.

Yep your lights should be at a 3:1 ratio for both flower and veg. 3 2700k to 1 5000k and the opposite for veg

plants will be fine, but do you see how the ends of your leaves are canoing? this is either becuase its too hot in your room, or might just be because of the ph.

mine came from a heavy dose of feeding. i mixed the nutes wrong once, and the stressed caused this. you can see how the new growth above those nodes are normal now after the food was used/washed out.

thanks robert XXO! so drop the ph, Im going to have to read up on how to do that.
they are just waking up so Im waiting on them to get adjusted and wake up before I get in there and check them further (the ladies im hoping)
The boy that I had posted the pic of is in isolation, but today I have noticed that the sacs are starting to get fluffy around them, is this them getting ready to pollinate?
Im sorry to ask so many questions, but thats why Im here.. I burn water, so Im pretty proud of myself to have gotten these as far as I have, I started with 14 seedlings, and have 8 left, after focusing on the ones that had the better development, maybe I aborted the boys, or just got really lucky to have so many females.
I have NO idea what strain this is, I only know where the seeds came from and what that product was
