comments/advice?

ok, so im a full month in now and ive seen alot of videos... i have six little bushes that are nothing like what i have seen in growers videos, online, or in grow journals. where most plants look like scragly little trees at 4 weeks, mine is a dencely packed little dome shaped bush... everything looks very healthy, i was excited when i saw nine leaves on one of the fans, impressed when i saw a fan leaf with 11 leaves because i read on erowid that this is a sign of a advanced strain, now as the sets are begining to come in with 13 ive never found refenence to this, i dont know if these plants are mature, ive read of a funny strain (other than indica and stativa) that grows in areas of asia that grow into short dome shaped plants but also read that they are rare. the large (huge) fan leaves are indicitive of the afghani plants i was originaly told these black and white striped seeds contain... i was also told they are seeds bread to be female (erowid also told me this is possible but rare)

you cant really tell from this picture but that is a 15 inch bucket... this one plant is about 12 inches tall and aprox. 18 inches wide... they grew for 3 weeks under 15000 lumen of floro, and a week and a half ago i switched to 400w hps and they are gaining about a inch a day now that they recovered from the shock.... i feed them with a store bought 8-14-9 fertilizer and feed the leaves with carbonated water occasionally. im prepareing to clone them to determine sex.

i have built a clone room for my eventual continuance of this strain, but before i take clones for veging, i need to take some for sexing, will i be able to sex them under my original floro set up? my hps is busy on a 18/6 cycle. remember i dont need the sex clones to do anything but tell me if they are girls or boys and my floro reaches about 15000 lumen with my creative setup.

first time, its like losing my virginity... i dont wanna blow it

any words of wisdom would be great

i always guesstimate the age of them but a count on the calandar says these plants sprouted from the soil 28 days ago... why are they so much friggin bigger than others this age... my floro setup was bright but ghetto, i used plain old potting soil (it said profesional mixture on the bag) and is intended for "african violets and other flowering plants" im using a 4 dollar bottle of plant food (also for african violets and other flowing plants)... i just looked at a picture of somone elses crop and it said that it was 4 weeks old, they looked like mine did at about 6-8 days.. i didnt notice the difference until recently because, well, ive never seen a plant before these ones

ok, so i think the problem of not flowering is that your givin it to much light ?? you gotta switch to 12/12 and give it a couple weeks to start showing ... as far as cloning goes ... im a noob .. so im learning as are you

Alot of it could just be genetics with the number of leaves.The leaves shape look more sativa then indica but the short stubby part is an indica trait so you may have a 50/50 strain.Femanized seeds are fairly common to buy now adays so not that rare.To sex your clones you wanna take 1 or 2 clones put them under floros for a week if you can so they root keep lights at 24 hours.Once roots come in go straight to 12/12 should see a sex in a few days to a week then you know for sure what you got.Your probably getting good growth because of good nitogen.My clones I take at 1 inch usually are at about 21 inches in about 3 weeks so not that weird but pretty fast for from seed.I see alot of small plants on here and not sure what people do to grow them so slow but the plant looks good.Did you veg with only floros or use an MH or just running an hps all the way through?Keep doing what your doin.
