get them to bloom by shortening the sun by putting them under 12 hours at most. Then after a week or so they will show sex.then add sun hours they will revert back to vegetate.
First time grower, have some questions.

Hello to all.
This is my first post in this forum though I am an avid reader. This is my first time growing also so I will be grateful for any help and advice.
So, I purchased seeds just a couple of days back (after years of research) - Master Kush was the choice. As I live in Asia I expect that seeds should take at least 21 days to arrive. Not wanting to take any chances I also purchased a germination kit. Anybody who has used this before please help me! i need to know whether to use normal tap water (the qlty of tap water in my country is not good at all - not fit for human consumption). In context, should I use Distilled Water or Bottled Mineral Water. What is the difference between Distilled and Mineral Water anyway? And should water be lukewarm for germination? Some of these questions have probably been asked and answered in other sections so I apologize in sounding repetitive.
As I expect to grow outdoors I wanted to get some things cleared out. Will growing outdoors in any way result in a higher probability of Male Plants developing? And How can I stop this? I read somewhere that increased amount of Light can influence the plant to be female but I am not sure about this.
Do you think it is advisable to grow the Plant under artificial light for some time and then transplant it outside? Say when it gets about 1 foot tall.
As for Nutrients - Now, the selection of nutrients that you get in the USA or Europe is not available here so what is my alternativ. The local fertilizer company has no idea about N-P-K. They just claim to sell 'regular' fertilizer. Some of my friends who own estates (growing tea/coconut) have advised me to use Manure (i.e. Cow Dung) - a natural fertilizer. I am seriously thinking of this but I do not want to add manure too early in the plant cycle. I have heard storied of over-fertilization. SO, When is the right time to add fertilizer or Manure? Should I again wait for the plant to reach a height of about 1 feet (ft).
Grow Medium - Is large pot preferable? Or should I start off with a smaller pot?
Basically the two areas of concern to me are Nutrients and Light. I will be growing in my garden and it is of a fairly decent size. There is a fair amount of shade so is that going to hinder the plant development. I will cut down the trees if I have to.
I live in a tropical country so rain will be an issue at somepoint during the growth cycle. As the plants will remain in large pots I can always move them around. Will this cause undue stress to my plants.
A thousand apologies for the long post. I will be extremely grateful to anyone who can give me some pointers.
Many Thanks,

The best thing you can do is cut and paste this post into your own thread to avoid confusion.
PM me when you get that done and I'll try to help.
