haha i cant wait to have my first bud lmao =D when is you estimate on your harvest time?
Around Feb 24th. Probably by the end of Feb, and will have smoke ready for march 12th or so.

Ofcourse I will have tested it a little sooner. Will take a test bud before I harvest it, and see how it smokes. If I like what I see, then it will be harvested, dried, and cured.

Ok, your plant is going to start to preflower. See the little dot in between the stipule and the stem, That is the calayx. It will develope. The only for sure way to tell the sex, is wait until you either see 2 pistils emerging from it, or a small sack like thing growing.

Female calayx look different than males. But its really hard to tell from that. But no, I dont see nothing to worry about, but soon enough you will see a preflower, give it 2 weeks maybe. Unless you make it go quicker by going to 12/12. Your on 18/6 now with that one right?

right now im drying some dank ass purple g13 and white widow
Sounds nice, been awhile since I had it. Does the bud look really glossy? Like it has a clear coat over it? I remember having it back when I was 18, it looked just like I described. But that was awhile ago.

hay guys like the thread so far first time inside grower and im going to try the dwc system soon right now flirting with soil inside on some cfls. 2 hps 150 on the way in a week. i would like to make some suggestions on ur grow. so here goes my thoughts on the mothers would be to top them a couple of times to increase the amout of shouts to clone. and i think if u can without major temp change move the lights closer so they dont stretch as much. me i grow small in numbers thats the plan anyway. i hope i didnt offend just a thought to a fellow grower.

oh snap, sweet, i hope she is a female. should i use her as a mother? or just bud it?

If you think she is a good choice for a mother plant, and don't mind waiting for the clones to root, flower, then finish.

And what the guy said about topping it, I would agree.

okay dokie i shall lower lights and add some more CFLS in there. and for the topping i would just have to top the the new leaf sites?

It is starting to shoot growing tops. That's good. Those shoots will all be clonable growth. Top it and make a single clone, just for practice. This will force the new tops that have started to come up fast.

If you do not get a sex to show by the time your clone shows 1st roots, then drop the clone to a 12/12 light cycle and force it to flower. Then you will know what you have for sure. By that time (14 days or so) you will know if you have a mom full of clonable shoots or a male that needs killin'

Good luck, man. I'll drop back by in awhile. :joint:

Use the top you cut as the clone. All 1 process. When you top the plant, take at least 2 nodes, remove the lowers, cut the stem at 45 degree angle with clean blade, and stick it in prepared rockwool cube under weak 24hr light. A botanical heat mat will greatly speed rooting. 20$ online
