is this a male?

Also.. look at your mature plant stems. They are a little fuzzy all over.

Root bound is where the roots circle the bottom of the container because they are trying to expand.

It is barely starting. could have went a week or so more. The entire bottom will be white with roots, barely any dirt will be seen.

It was 100% gauranteed male. I know it sucks.. males grow stronger than females and look so purdy.. it's hard to kill them. As for the root bound question.. it is normal for roots to bind in a ball when they are ready for transplant. Root bound is more of a serious problem.. as in they only go to one side of the other or straight to bottom and get tangled up. That is real root bound. Then the plant will show deficiency signs.

trousers, my plants do look pretty healthy, so i feel like i can. i may feed it just nitrogen to try and get females next time. the first batch of plants i had died, but they were regular and i fed them urine (which has high ammonia/nitrate concentration) and they both turned into female. i may try this again, before using my all purpose organic feeds.

If I were to smoke a joint with you and you then told me you piss on your weed, the next stop for you would be the dentist office, because you would be spitting teeth for sure.
I have read alot of your posts bmeat, and have drawn the conclusion, you are as sharp as a sack of wet mice. Please keep the cultivation of anything more than bullshit to yourself, as it really has no place anywhere in these forums.
Peace

AgricultureMain article: Fertilizer
Urine contains large quantities of nitrogen (mostly as urea), as well as significant quantities of dissolved phosphates and potassium, the main macronutrients required by plants, with urine having plant macronutrient percentages (i.e. NPK) of approximately 11-1-2 by one study[SUP][18][/SUP] or 15-1-2 by another report,[SUP][19][/SUP] illustrating that exact composition varies with diet. Undiluted, it can chemically burn the roots of some plants, but it can be used safely as a source of complementary nitrogen in carbon-rich compost.[SUP][20][/SUP]
When diluted with water (at a 1:5 ratio for container-grown annual crops with fresh growing medium each season,[SUP][21][/SUP] or a 1:8 ratio for more general use[SUP][20][/SUP]), it can be applied directly to soil as a fertilizer. The fertilization effect of urine has been found to be comparable to that of commercial fertilizers with an equivalent NPK rating.[SUP][22][/SUP] Urine contains most (94% according to Wolgast[SUP][18][/SUP]) of the NPK nutrients excreted by the human body. Conversely, concentrations of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, commonly found in solid human waste, are much lower in urine (though not low enough to qualify for use in organic agriculture under current EU rules).[SUP][23][/SUP] The more general limitations to using urine as fertilizer then depend mainly on the potential for buildup of excess nitrogen (due to the high ratio of that macronutrient),[SUP][21][/SUP] and inorganic salts such as sodium chloride, which are also part of the wastes excreted by the renal system. The degree to which these factors impact the effectiveness depends on the term of use, salinity tolerance of the plant, soil composition, addition of other fertilizing compounds, and quantity of rainfall or other irrigation.
Urine typically contains 70% of the nitrogen and more than half the phosphorus and potassium found in urban waste water flows, while making up less than 1% of the overall volume. Thus far, source separation, or urine diversion and on-site treatment has been implemented in South Africa, China, and Sweden among other countries with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation provided some of the funding implemenations.[SUP][24][/SUP] China reportedly had 685,000 operating source separation toilets spread out among 17 provinces in 2003.[SUP][25][/SUP]
"Urine management" is a relatively new way to view closing the cycle of agricultural nutrient flows and reducing sewage treatment costs and ecological consequences such as eutrophication resulting from the influx of nutrient rich effluent into aquatic or marine ecosystems.[SUP][19][/SUP] Proponents of urine as a natural source of agricultural fertilizer claim the risks to be negligible or acceptable. Their views seem to be backed by research showing there are more environmental problems when it is treated and disposed of compared with when it is used as a resource.[SUP][26][/SUP]
It is unclear whether source separation, urine diversion, and on-site urine treatment can be made cost effective; nor whether required behavioral changes would be regarded as socially acceptable, as the largely successful trials performed in Sweden may not readily generalize to other industrialized societies.[SUP][22][/SUP] In developing countries the use of whole raw sewage (night soil) has been common throughout history, yet the application of pure urine to crops is rare. Increasingly there are calls for urine's use as a fertilizer, such as a Scientific American article "Human urine is an effective fertilizer".[SUP][27][/SUP]
just dont overdo it, or the salts/minerals will build up and ruin your soil.
after all, composted manure is animal shit and piss.
fuck you.

yeah you can use fresh urine to feed N to your plant. when people do this they hardly are "pissing all over thier plants" its recomended to use about 1 cup of urine to a gallon of water.
I personally would only do it if i didnt have a means to get other fertilizer, better than a malnurished plant.
your plant is for sure male.
your plant is also small as fuck, why bother growing something that small you would be lucky to get 3 grams off it. 12 months for 3 grams seems like a waste, your paying more in electricity for those 12 weeks than it would cost you to just go buy a bag of medical grade herb.

You place a ton of value on misguided information, more power to you. Here is what a group of plants should look like at 3 weeks from seed with 0 nutes and distilled water and a soiless mix.( and I swear, I did not feed them urine, not once)
Good Luck
