I am in the middle of my first ever grow, it all started when a friend came back from Oaxaca in Mexico with some seeds.
I thought why the hell not and went ahead trying an organic grow with cfl.
It all spiraled from there, I have way more cfls in the cabinet now compared to when I started and spent way more money than planned.
the babies have been on 12/12 for almost 2 weeks now and out of 8 plants I am pretty certain I have identified 3 males and 2 girls, the others I don't know yet.
I believe this to be a sativa strain as first it comes from mexico and second it's not bushy but elongated.
I have a couple of questions, I read on this page h**p://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/thc.html that this kind of marijuana apparently needs an 11 hours photo period i/e daytime. Is this true? Should I go ahead and give them 11/13 instead of 12/12?
Also, considering that the plants have been in veg for about 5 weeks before the change when can I expect to see the beginning of a bud?
thanks again for all your help

First of all, don't expect great bud out of Oaxacan pot. It is pretty but not too good in the THC dept. It is sativa unless you have some hybrid but it sounds like sativa. As for daylight, as soon as you kick to 12/12 it will be a week to three to see the pistils but if you look real careful above the 5th or 6th nodes, you may see sex showing up now. Be patient and good luck with a grow of that strain. Coming from outdoors to in it will be interesting to see how long it takes to mature but it should be 8 to 10 weeks no matter what.
