First grower, how is she? Industrial plant.

Yo whats up this is my first grow hydro she is under 600hps and on 1850 ppm nutes and has been for 2 and a half weeks with no signs of any nute burn. Trust me i use nearly double what the bottle says, she's on steroids.

This is week 8 since day 1 of germinating (she was tortured abit at the start and was stunted and nearly died so only about week 6 of healthy growth) just wanting to know if she looks good, and is it possible she's showing signs of pre-flowering while vegging still? You can't see in the pictures but there's little oval shaped balls that seem to extend out very tiny still (Not the stipules although they are tiny also still) so are they tiny calyxes coming already?

Btw im waitin for her new 2 top stems to grow abit more before i start flowering her.




In Picture 2 any explanations on the munted half leaf at the top? cheers

she looks good. yes plants can show signs of sex during veg but Im not sure about all the details of it

I run my lights in veg constant with no dark period and have seen signs of sex at 4 weeks on some , others I have had on 12-12 for around 4 weeks before seeing anything as far as sex begin to develop . I think it depends on what strain .

If you're able to post some close up pictures of the oval shaped balls, someone will surely help you!

i'm pretty sure she's a girl, still to early to tell though i guess

Looks like the plants are doing well.

To determine if you have female marijuana plants:

Clusters of flowers known as buds or colas only occur on female or hermaphrodite plants. Hermaphrodites are plants that are part male, part female. If you want sinsemilla buds, make sure you only have pure females.

Plants in constant light can sometimes start to show some pre-flowers after only a few weeks of growth. Usually though it takes a change in light cycle to trigger the plants into full reproductive mode.

Most varieties of marijuana require 12 hours of darkness per day to induce their flowering cycles. Sativa varieties sometimes need more. Indica varieties can sometimes take less. Ruderalis varieties can flower whatever.

Early female marijuana flowers look like little furry hairs, usually white, but they can be other colors. Early male flowers look a bit like small bunches of mini green bananas. Look near the leaf joins on your plants to see them emerging.

Even pure female plants have the potential to turn male or hermaphrodite. This can happen if the plant is stressed too much through bad treatment or if chemicals are applied to the plant to induce male flowering.

To determine if you have male marijuana plants

Unless you have plans to breed or to produce lots of seeds, always separate male and female plants as soon as their sex becomes apparent. Remember one or two male marijuana plants can turn a whole crop to seed and you just don't want that happening.

Once you have a good female plant that you would like to keep you can place it in constant light to stop it from flowering. This plant can then be a "mother" for you to take cuttings from whenever you wish.
