when you transplant you are only sposed to water enough to make the soil damp, you want the roots to go exploring in their new hom in search of water. Drowning the plant with your root problem will only compound things at this point. Let her dry up or your remaining roots may develop disease. :leaf:

Dude! Looking at the pics, notice how the "V" shaped sprout between stem and leaf is. That would be female. (...the good shit,lol) they will become white, and more will grow on top of those. That is the bud. If you happen to have a plant with about 5 hanging flower petals, MOVE IT AWAY! Is a male plant and once the polen gets to the female the potency will not get any better. Also, ...watch that your female pland doesn't switch and become both male and female. (Yeahhh, it DOES happen) It will self pollenate and you'll be in the same boat as if you left a pollenating male plant next to a mature flowering female. Hope this helped. Hey, I'm of the mindset of THROW YOUR SEEDS OUT THE WINDOW!!!! Lol. Better to grow along a road where someone will find them, than to trash 'em.

The "V" shaped thing between the leaf and stem is a stipule, and is not an indicator of sex. It will not "turn white" (pistils emerge already white, btw ) All cannabis plants have these.

Can't tell yet, but depending on where you live the nights may not be long enough for a few weeks or so.

Wait, so you're growing outdoors with lights?

I'm confused.
