Hi All,

Just looking for some information/feedback on this plant i'm growing. See the attched pictures. I am growing "the Church" from greenhouse seeds. Has anyone tried this strain... I'm almost certain that I have a female because i got the seeds feminized, however, I want to be 100% sure. Please take a look at the pictures and let me know what you guys think... I am new at this. It's about 6 weeks old...How long should I wait before going 12/12? It's about 18inches in length...Thanks to everyone for the upcoming advice/comments

hahahaha that is the best name for a strain I've heard in awhile. It's looking like it is growing very strong for being 6 weeks old. I'm sure it is a female if you bought feminized seeds. You really can't tell at this point in it's life, everything is just new growth right now (no pre-flowers).
You can let it go however long you want before 12/12, it really depends on how tall you want it. I would give it another month or more and then switch it. Good luck!

Thanks for the comments/advice.
I have another question. See the pictures attached...I've noticed that the smaller-bottom leaves are turning yellow/brown and not looking to healthy. Why is that?

Im about 75% sure that is a nute problem. What is your ph at? It should be 6 to 6.5 Also when you go 12 to 12 the plant is going to triple in size. What type of light r u using? If its CFL you can go 12/12 now.

Lower leaves yellowing and falling off are part of a plants natural life cycle, i would not worry about it. Good choice of strain. Its a good smoke not too difficult to grow. Start flowering just now or veg them longer, thats up to you mate. Once the nodes start alternating that is a sign of sexual maturity, that would be the latest i would start flowering.

Hey All,

Quick question...Take a look at the pictures...my grow is starting to really bend!!!.
When I transplanted it a while back, i didn't quite center the root ball.

Is this something I should worry about? Should I support it with a stick to pull it to center?

Thanks

Hey All,

Here is are some updated pictures of my first grow. I think it's going quite well.

I do have a couple of questions:

1 - With looking at these pictures - how much longer should I flower for?

2 - With the soil - The top of the soil is becoming hard and there are visible roots showing. Should I do something about this?

Thanks!

also if you see the roots on the surface the plant has become root bound but at this point so late in flower with harvest coming soon i wouldnt bother to repot it. just remember next time that they like just a bit more room
