I'm new to growing and need to know a little.

So I started out growing this girl with Happy Frog Soil and then used cfls through most of the vegetative stage. I topped her at her 4th node too. Now kinda leaving out of the vegging stage I happen to start using a led blub that has done wonders so far.I am now using foxfarm ocean forest aswell now. & my plant is now having pistils everywhere and could possibly be a hermie, Even if it is a hermie i still will keep it but lets hope for the best. but what i started doing about a week ago (week and a half maybe) is cut the tips of my plants leaves to help focus on the top two main colas. Now i wanted to know if depending on the photos if you could tell me if i have started preflowering so i can get an idea of when i started. And if you could tell me how she looks ?

Thank you,
Isaiah.

not a hermie, started budding 2 weeks ago, honestly needs some food, especially nitrogen. how many hours a day are you running the lights?

12/12 sir. And this is my first grow. Any home remedies for nitrogen?
does she look healthy? Am doing okay so far?

Thank you so much! how do you think my plant looks ? I mean it's one of my so far successful grows. When will I start to smell the actual cannabis?

honestly, they could look A lot better, but you need to go thru a few grows to learn. the actual smell doesn't happen until the last 3 weeks.

The smell comes later. I agree with chuck on the food. Could give you a better opinion of how they are doing if we could see the whole plant.

Okay I'll post a update photo soon

need a better strain. Right now you are learning what not to do. My advice is to use this website well and THEN get your gear. Its tough if you dont. I had to learn the hard way. I dont have good gear or that great of genetics but i do have basic 4 elements you need as simple as I can. With the right gear and more money than I have I could produce an ass load, That money woul;d have been a waist untill I had some growes and harvests under my belt. One thing I learned was..forget about it. Dont check on them too often if in soil. dont f with them if the air temps and light is correct. water from the bottom up to avoid over watering. When in doubt DONT water. Less is more. and lastly....easy does it. peace
