It was about a week before I saw some pistils, and I guess it started getting taller fast a day or two ago.

Oh yeah, there are pistils shooting out everywhere now, I counted 11 potential bud sites. I'll put up some nice bud pics in a couple weeks probably when they get big enough to capture with my shitty phone camera. Thanks for the encouragement man, I am feeling great about this plant.

If I remember correctly, when a feminized plant gets pollinated, it can only produce females and hermies, but the chance of hermie goes up a lot. So with bagseed, if its from a feminized plant, there's a pretty good chance of getting a hermie.

Two will get you through 2-3 weeks of veg growth. I have eight on my plant right now. You want about 80-100W per square foot of plant growth when working with CFLs. 13W bulbs aren't worth the time, 20 and 40W bulbs are the most efficient, bigger ones will put out more light but not be as...

Day ten of 12/12: I swear she grew like an inch yesterday alone.

If by standard you mean CFL and not incandescent, yes, but it had to be close to the plant, like a couple inches, and you will need more than one. The most important thing is to do research and read how to grow pot. If you don't do this you will have a dead plant. I have a low-budget 1 plant...

Week 6 Update/1 Week of 12/12 What a stressful weekend. On Saturday she was drooping like crazy, so I thought she was overwatered, but it got even worse on Sunday: So I decided to water again and see what happened. She got all better! I think I have not been using enough water each time...

Yes, as the plant gets bigger the roots expand and drink more water, more quickly. Just rely on testing the moisture with your finger and you will be fine.

Thanks, man. Yeah that happened when the pH in the water was really high and seemed to do fine when that was corrected. Yeah hopefully in a couple more months I'll have some nice pics for you, and I hope it's not too optimistic to think I might have some hash porn for you as well.

Week 5 Update/Day 2 of 12/12 It's taking 4-5 days for the plant to drink all the water in that pot, hopefully she'll get bigger and use up the water a little faster so her roots don't get all soggy. Other than that things are going great.

Even though my plant grew slanted and multi-limbed, I decided to augment that with some light LST. I used alpaca wool yarn, it's really soft (and eco-friendly*). I'm putting her in 12/12 on Monday. This is getting really fun. *Tangent: Unlike many other livestock animals, alpacas eat...

Nice, I guess I will do that when I change the light cycle on Monday. I've been tempted, she will certainly be way prettier without those sickly little leaves. Some people have said that the plant can still suck nutrients out of dying leaves though, and that when the plant is ready to let them...

Week 4 Update Yesterday I transplanted to a 5 gallon pot and she seems to be really happy in there. I count 4 tops making their way out of this crazy slanted stem. Did I just get really lucky with a plant that naturally grows 4 tops? Plant tonight: Glamour shot: Also I think I have...

Week 3 Update Didn't even really think I would get this far, I'm really happy. Something interesting happened to my girl: I used to have an 85W bulb on top and two 23W bulbs on the side. I thought the 85W would be brighter, but I think the 23W bulbs are so much more efficient that they...

I would definitely recommend going 24/0 for awhile. They will grow twice as quick. For such slow growth I would definitely go with other users pointing to lack of light, high perlite content, and large pots as possible causes. For reference, I happen to have a young NL going as well. For...

Week 2 Update And what a crazy week it's been. After that scare of leaves drying up, it looks like there is a lot of healthy new growth coming out of that weird stem that started growing awhile ago, including some 5-pointed leaves. As you can see here, that stem is way thicker than the two...

It's only been about 13 days since she (feminized) sprouted. Can it happen that early? Is it an effect of a sudden decrease in health? I did go ahead and repot. When I transplanted, I could see roots all around the outside of the soil. It didn't have nearly as many as this pic but it was that...

I think I didn't describe it well, I don't think it's preflowering. How would that happen under 24 hours of light? It's in a solo cup for now. Should it really have been transplanted already? I asked around and people told me not to transplant yet, that some people wait until there are fully...

Okay, I'd really like some help with this one: So I already realized pH was a problem and all the water I'm using now is 6.0. However, the plant is starting to look really unhappy. Here is is from about noon today: And here it is now, just 7 hours later: Today was the first day I gave it...

Sorry for all the bumps but today's development is worth noting. I'm pretty sure my plant is a polyploid ("self-topped") It's weird how the stem splits underneath the first set of leaves instead of just at the top. I can't find a single picture of polyploid plants growing quite that way. It...
