I started this one out on 12 12 for the first two weeks and today have switched over to 18 6 and will remain at this point for I believe four weeks then I will force flowering. My space is limited that is why I am doing it this way. Btw its only about 21 days old. I planted them and didn't think they would grow and I forgot to check up on them that is why its tall I believe. Any feed back would be great.

its tall because its light source is too far away and its stretching out higher to get to more light. if you had it on 12/12 from seed, you shouldv'e kept it that way. its gonna take at least 1 or 2 wks for it revert its energy back to vegetative phase. don't mess with the cycles too much or if that ends up being female... she could easily turn hermi on you, and you'll either have to trash it, or have seeded bud.

Ya I had it under sunlight at first and since I've made this grow room it hasnt grown tall anymore only forming the two hair things at the base of the first node and I swear I see pistils... or some weird hair... someone told me to put it on 12 12 for two weeks to force early sexing or some shit

Oh if you were doing 12/12 to determine sex.. then you have a female congrats.
That looks like dirt from your backyard. Get some proper pots that are light proof. Roots can't have light, and need to be in complete darkness.
Now that you know she will produce buds for you, treat her right.

You are correct man it is dirt from my back yard. I was reading that supposedly the plants wont need any nutes until thirty to forty days old. I plan on repotting but im worried ill hurt her roots. What soil would u prefer? something that's premixed preferably. And how do I get her out of the cup?

Don't worry about damaging roots... but get some good premixed soil like Fox Farm-Ocean Forest, or Fox Farm-Happy Frog. If you can't find any FF line of soil at your local nurseries... I'd say order it online. it's worth the weight in bud... not literally, but backyard soil man? haha thats funny. FF soil cannot be found at wal mart, home depot. But go to your local nursery and if they don't, ask what they advise is similar. When you do transplant, water it/them, put the stem in between your index & middle finger, cup your hand over the soil, turn upside down, and place the plant in your bigger potted soil mix. Try to keep the backyard soil moving around in your hand to a minimum. Damaging the roots could stress them out or even kill them.
Btw.. FF soil will feed your plants for about a month. By then you should be flowering. Get yourself some bloom nutrients, and away you go
