Hello everyone, I'm new here and this is my first for growing and posting so thanks for showing interest on this thread. I just wanted an opinion or two on my first bagseed grow. I was sure that this was a sativa seed untill it started growing but then I thought it was indica because of the fat leaves, then I started thinking that this is somewhere in between both sativa and indica; IJDK. This seed came from Michoacan, Mexico :-$ Shhh, dont tell anyone. I am kinda puzzled because I am 100% sure that it's a local Michoacan strain but I looked high and low and did not come up with a single picture/answer as to what kind of strain it might be. To my knowledge, there is only sativa grown out there... unless the farmers are getting imported seeds (doubt it as they have been growing the same high yield stuff for many decades).

My plant shows the fattest leaves on the second real set and are gradually getting thinner and longer on the higher nodes... This plant cracked soil on the 22nd of June and the pictures included are from the 16th of July. I'm using: 24/0 lighting; organic soil from a lush local forest; 5 gallon waste can (brand new with four 1" holes on the bottom; using minimal amounts of Ammonium Sulfate fert 20:5 for veg, lighly sprinkled boiled coffee grounds (About 4 tablespoons) and mixed it into the top 2 inches of soil; 3/4 to 1 gallon of water every 3 days and mist everyday with a spray bottle (bonafont drinking water); started with single CFL 11w 2700K, added a 22W 4100K 1 week in, and finaly moved up to two 4' Phillips Alto F40T12/D/XPT 40w - 6500K as of yesterday when I seen the cotyledons with a hint of yellow (I know it's overkill but money is not a thing + if it's fem, I will clone her, if not then I'll do a new grow untill I do get fems. Besides, this is experimental only since I have never had a green thumb in my life and never cared, just smoked it and didn't ask questions. Either way, I will use it in the future).

So my questions are:
1.) Any guesses as to what we might be looking at? What are the possibilities?

2.)what are those tiny looking leaves coming out of the node-petioles intersection? Isn't sexing supposed to show when you go into 12/12? This thing is on 24/7 and shows signs of the 7th node wanting to come out in the form of 1/4" bunched up fingers. It's only been 25 days... IDK, I'm a noob.

3.)Do you guys/girls see any mistakes that I may be making? I dont know what I'm doing, I'm just following all of the suggestions from the countless hours that I have been reading (I'm not sure about the grounds though, it was suggested by my pops)

4.) How does it look? Color? Size? A-Ok?

I would LOVE some feedback from you guys, I'll make sure to look into your posts too. Thanks!

That plant is almost a month old and is very small for it's age. Basically it's the size of a two week old and I'm almost positive it's because of the minimal lighting used in the begining of it's life. Good thing you added more lights though.

Hey Man, yeah she looks good. Definately a looks like a Sativa.
The leaf things coming out is because that is where ur shoot comes out from.
Personally i wouldnt have it on 24/7, id go with 16/8 or 18/6, but its a debatable topic. i just find it stresses the plant too much and it can only consume 18 hrs a day max.
Hope This Helps.

It probably is a sativa like you suspect because of where the seeds come from, it could be just a different pheno...

I was thinking that it was small because of the 24/0 lighting. I have read in many posts that turning off the lights for 4 hours or even 6 hours makes the plants stretch out some. It does have 5 fully grown nodes and and the 6th is already coming in nicely + it has the 7th set of leaves at 1/4" tall... IMHO It's doing very well (but that is debatable). I want a short plant because of hight restrictions but I definately see it grow every day. It is height challenged but it is maturing nicely. I know it will double to quintuple it's size when I go 12/12. Thanks for your imput though. P.S. About stressing, I heard that cannabis is a type of plant that does not need rest like other plants. I was figuring that as soon as I see alternating nodes, I will change light color, timing, and type of nutes. IDK, like I said, I'm a no0b. Thanks for your reply.
