Stunted growth... Transplant?

Resinhound said:

When you limit growth rate to just genetics,I can see that,but thats with a dialed in set up,this guy is growing in his basement in bum f'd egypt with cfl,no nutrients and very questionalble soil..so tell me again how its not ridiculous to assume genetics is his limiting factor here?

I wasn't implying genetics is the determining factor on his grow. Honestly I was just babling about whatever, since he thinks he has a male anything about genetics can be tossed out the window. Now if he had 2 guarenteed females he could definetly compare apples to apples. If he were to attempt to compare both his plants at this time it would be like apples to oranges. 3rdworldgrower, I take it the smaller plant had shown pistils already so you are able to sex that one and the other hasn't showed anything? Were they both planted at the same time?

hey thanks for stopping by again, the taller one was determined male, by other users when i took this picture, can hardly see it with the naked eye, but I've been assured its male, even so I'm keeping him until i really see the genitals per say...

the smaller one hasn't shown any sex but another member hinted that if I'm lucky she would be my female, but it was just in passing, i haven't seen signs of any sex on the smaller one, so the small one I'm putting my hopes on her growing and then showing me some pistils.

and again with a little confusion but i was reading around that sex doesn't show until you switch to 12/12 which i haven't these have been on 18/6 and they stay in the dark at night, no light leaks

Females will show pistils at the nodes usually within a couple months from seed. Usually it's 2 hairs at the node. The bigger plant could still be a female, never know wait it out, I wouldn't toss it until seeing bananas forming. They are both small considering their age I'll show you some photos of plants from just rooting to 20 days later

Just rooted


20 days later

Cool, well clearly this is going to be a bit of fun until i move back state side, everything seems like common sense but I still feel like if anything i will learn something until i move back to NY... I'm going to figure it out and i will get better at this.

It's all a learning curve. I'm still learning myself. I think of myself as a newb still. The more you do, more you learn what to watch out for. Good luck on your adventure. I got a buddy down in Costa Rica living on some beach. looks like paradise.

thanks dude, the great thing with costa rica is essentially it is american run and therefore much more advanced, they even have a hydro shop with 3 locations, just north though in nicaragua, people can buy toilet paper and we have a super serious dictatorship here so everything that comes in this country has been sanctioned somehow... its not that great, and the worst thing is outdoor conditions here are relatively good for growing it seems

Just move to Costa Rica then, lol. My
Buddy that's there is on the run from the u.s. Can't return here. He's been there for about 5 years with no problems.

I'm here because my wife is from here and she's pregnant and wants to spend the pregnancy here, i work driving boats in the carribean and NY in the summer... so this is a little slow and different for the winter, which is why i though of trying to grow my own medicine

Ahh cool. Well good luck hopefully you can get it figured out
