I finally got this to go. But now what? Is it male, Female? How much bigger should it get, when to flower.? Any suggestions?

Looking good so far. It's too early to tell sex but I would still wait till it reaches about 12inches tall to flower.

very nice cypher, your first alive and it's nice and green all over, you've done well. If it was my plant i'd let it go 1-2 more nodes and flower.

Looking nice! Let it grow for about another 3 weeks, clone, and then put into flowering cycle!

Males tend to grow faster than females. But don't use this as a rule of thumb, because Sativa's also tend to grow faster than Indica's.

Cloning is taking a growing shoot off of a plant and applying rooting hormone and the branch takes root and becomes an identical twin of your favororite strain or plant.

dont flower your mother, keep her in veg and flower the clones. at least for 3 harvests or so, then when mother is past producing clones, flower her alongside any remaining clones. allows you to check sex this way. by flowering your mother, then revegging, she will suffer stress and will not be as luscious as she should be. not a good idea

The plant looks awesome- how many tries is this for you? Don't flip ur plant until u see the sex-2 little white hairs will be evident out of a little sac that will form where the leaves attach to the main stem. It will may take up to 2 months to show the sex-especially because you have provided the plant with such a large amount of soil(i know, I've read most of your posts). The reason for this is 12/12 lighting stresses your plant (yes, the 12hr lite cycle is a stress-12/12 doesn't happen in nature)and if the sex hasn't been determined, it may become a male when u flip it. When making a mom, I never flip then re flip--ie reguvenate a female; the stress will make it weaker and weaker and more importantly it may become a hermaphridite NOT GOOD. Clone your mom(harder than growing seeds) flower your clones, or take clones from the clones(after they vegged abit), flower mom and save 1 of those clones to be your next mom. Go buy a book about growing plants.

tbh, should make a grow diary with this setup, would be nice to see. specially as you can raise and lower all the lights involved. great for the one plant
