yea, I got lucky on that. But now, due to my noobness I over-watered the poor thing and I think that was the moment when the gnats invaded. I'll come with new pics soon. This morning the leafs were standing erect, so that's a good sign. Hopefully I'll find some good killing method for the little bugs at the B&Q

fingers crossed, just re-potted my plant into a bigger pot. The roots are looking great. White and strong. Clean a bit from the soil on top and bottom. I really hope I didn't cause too much stress to it.
Regarding flowering...I know that good timing for starting 12/12 would be when it has about 20', any other hints? When do I know when to start the flowering ? I was thinking to live it at least 60 days in 18/6 maybe, don't really know.
My first grow...many years ago , 2 males and with them I didn't have any problems. Didn't even changed the light period, they did their own thing. They lived in pots on a balcony during a summer and during nights I was putting them inside the house. And since then...nothing, so basically this is my first grow. And you all know how stressed can a new grower be
But anyway, without you guys, I wouldn't make it so far.
Great community and great people! Thank you very much!

And one more thing to add, the story with this plant...I was on a trip to Spain and there was a nice shop with T-shirts. Entered there and they had an offer, if you buy a T-shirt you will get a cannabis seed. So...it's exactly what I did. Now I am not expecting the most perfect and superb taste or plant but I don't have any idea of what exactly is. They were saying that it's a feminized seed...we'll see about that. If it will be a male, at least I have a nice T-shirt and I've learned a lot for the next grows...if it will be a female and everything will grow and be ok...then I'll smoke it in Rollitup's honor , cause without this forum, my plant would have died long ago.

Hi guys...I guess I am in some serious problems...The lower leaves of my plant are changing. Some depigmentation spots, I've noticed them 3 days ago and now are getting worst. I see some change in the color as well and they are a bit dropped and wrinkled. I really need some advice.
To review the events, yesterday I changed the pot, but the symptoms I've noticed them since 3 days ago. I had the gnat problem, but now I haven't seen any since the pot change.
I am concerned, please advice and help me, some pics at day 39
The pH is about 7.5 ... but thing is, it was like that from the beginning when I planted this plant. I am watering with still bottled water (pH 5.5) and...I don't have a fan. The temp is about 23-25 celsius.
Please, I am starting to panic, help

halogen sucks, foil has to be turned shiny side in which means dull side the reflective side! and foil sucks it absorbs and only reflects like 50-70% light get some mylar white plastic or paint that shit a off white or dull white whatever. idk good luck. but I read the other day for sure halogen is not the right spectrum. it wil work but you'll be surprised how terrible they look hah!but hey atleast your not using a incandescent bulb hahaha! find you some of the round curly cue bulbs those are fine!

Hi Lime,
Yea only on the lower leaves. Last Saturday I re-planted it into a bigger pot and added some more fresh soil. Do you think it's a nutrient deficit ? I have this
I know there are many pros and cons for M.G. but will it do the trick?
Waiting forward for your reply.

no Ca, but at least there is the magnesium. I'll start adding it at my next watering. Last watering was on Saturday when I changed the pot and now, still moist. Thanks for the help with the breaking down of the M.G. hope it will do the trick and I'll not do damage to the plant.

looks to me like a calcium/mg deficiency... which by your post this would be calcium/mg deficient.
Dolomite lime can correct this deficiency...or suitable nutes with appropriate cal/mg levels ...or you can add 1 or 2 tble spoons on top of soil( dolomite lime)and water as usual. Ph'd of course.
I use Mg soil but with Hg flora series nutrients. 3 part series.

So...my plant is osteoporotic, calcium deficit ... I wander if I'll give it some calcichew (calcium and vitamin D) if it will do the trick.looks to me like a calcium/mg deficiency... which by your post this would be calcium/mg deficient.

I'll go to the B&Q to check for some dolomite lime and after I'll start adding some nutrients as well.
Lime, thank you for the advices, I really hope I'll make it with the plant
