I haven't done very well in documenting my plants since there are hundreds of
others out there with docu-grows. Basically, I just wanted a place for feedback on my pictures. I have 15 young plants, staged from fresh germinated to 4-5 weeks old. The pictures here are of the 5 week old showing what I believe to be a pistil. I am curious if it could be showing sex this early in the game? Feedback would be appreciated.





And the first picture I took of her in what seems like a few days ago...



Thanks!

Anyone have anything to add or suggest?

its probably a leaf, wait and see

they go into 'flowering' stage either naturally or forced by you, those are Not the telltale white hairs that the females get, that's the right attitude though.
It's too early to figure sex out, you are still in vegg stage. Are you on a 24 on/0 off light cycle or 18/6? if so the you are in 'vegitative state' this is when yourplant will do alot of its upward growth,and leaf production. When you switch over to a 12/12 light cycle, the plant thinks it's fall, (shore=ter days) and will go into flowering mode. this is when you can tell the sex...

24/0 as of now... Obviously, I am just over excited and the sight of any new "growth" makes me wish its where it needs to be. I forgot to mention, this is a CFL grow only using soil (manure, rich black farm dirt, hay and perlite). I have started them on a basic 20 18 20 nute diet. I have two grow spaces; one for the more developed plants and one area for germination/seedlings. I have 160 watts of CFL in the main grow area and once I figure out females, those will be moved to a closet space with another 160w of CFL. I went out to a wine party tonight and when I came home, I noticed one of the lights was touching one of my favorite plants. I hope it will pull through...

The burnt member:


Some of the family, new and old...

cut the burnt leaves off. they are dead anyhow, the plant is wasting enrgy trying to feed them because they are still attached. If you feel bad about trimming them, mix them into the soil for natural fertilizer!

How's yourhumidity in there and get a fan on the plants asap. you need to strengthen the stems they should actually shake a little from a breeze.

Humidity is good, maybe around 60. I have the main grow chamber lidded and there is a few cups of water in there with a fan blowing to keep moisture in the air. I trimmed off all of the burnt leaves but the plant looks like shit. I hope it comes through. On the other hand, I have six more fresh sprouts that just popped out of the dirt today.

but air can still get in right? plants still need air to pull co2 out of. without any air, you are suffocating them.

The fan pulls fresh air in from the bottom and exits out the top.
