New grower with 4 ft plant

How old are plants when they start budding?

OK I want to make sure that I am understanding this right. so the point in tieing it down is it to make it bloom? Or are you saying to tie it up like you would a tomato plant because it is going to get heavy?

I trimmed the top about 2 to 3 weeks ago
The top is now splitting into two separate stalks.
I have it tied straight up.
Why should I cover it with a bag?

I want to say thanks to every one that is helping me with this. Sure it is easy enough to read about it on the net, but I would rather talk to someone for first hand insight.

dont cover it with a bag. what they mean by tyeing it down is to separate the branches from each other so they get more light on all the inner bud sites...you will notice once you bend the stalks away they will become really bushy in the middle. then just keep feeding it with a blooming fertilizer be careful not to overfeed start at 1/4 strength and build up from that. once it flowers it should be about 8-10 weeks before its ready so dont chop it down unless you have to. ill put a pic up of a tied down plant, and a pic of a mature 80/20 milky/amber trichs plant so you got an idea. last pics about 2 weeks before harvest.

the reason I am telling you to tie it down is because you said it is getting hard to hide. If you tie it down then it wont be as tall and should be easier to hide. You can tie it down in the side ways "s" pattern I mentioned or you can just start tying down individual branches. It's real simple tie twine to the part of the plant that is to tall or that is covering other growth then just tie the other end of the twine to a heavy rock or stake in the ground. pulling the branch down as much as you want or until you think it might break if you pulled it more.

Take a look at my grow I just tied down a few on Monday,

Since you didn't find any testicle like objects try looking for penis like objects that may be hanging over the testicle like objects. If not then they're probabbly female.

haha wow, so do they reproduce the same way as humans? haha noobs

What do you mean by top for firm?

Well it sounds like you already topped it once about 3 weeks ago,leave it as it is or tie it down

i have the same problem my friend bought seeds from vancouver bc.. kush seeds and i planted them april 25th in the ground straight seed in soil,. i have 1 good big plant i couldnt have that many growing,. BUT its about 4 feet it looks like it has crystals on the leaves there little hairs in the middle but theres no budding yet like nun at all whats going on.. im chill it rains every day here for the past 2 months i live in toronto and i dont know some body give me some help first time growing like this dude

look for little oblong balls at base of each nobe area where leaves meet the stalks. I found some today on my plnats I picked the all off carefully because half the plant doesn't have them. and hopefully is a hermphorphid. won't know until a few days?

Why dont you just feed it birth control pills...hahaha That will probably work as good as you pissing on your plant,please post a pic of your transgender plant

I am going to tie it down today. I will let you guys know how bad I &$#% it up! LOL What do I need to fertilize with? My leaves are you getting yellow on bottom, but that could be from the sun not getting in there, right? I just picked of the dead leaves.

just trap it to a 12 hour of dark and let it bloom. It will show if its male or female then . If its male kill it! If not your on your way. All this forcing to see what it is , is a big waste of time >> puts the plants back as well and you get less product.

so I should jut let nature take its corse until cold weather comes? When you talk about covering it for 12 hours are you meaning during the day or night. I am in the Southern Alabama Mississippi region and it doesn't get dark until about 7:30 right now.

If you cover it with a tarp or a big box or a garbage can anything to keep the light out it will start to flower after 2 weeks of this, buy then the time of year should be giving you 12 hours of dark. Regardless even if its not the plant will flower. I put them in the dark for 24 hours just to get their hormones going. If you look all these 12 and 15 foot monsters of mine have been treated this way. They have big colas and will harvest in 2 weeks >>I live in Canada I can't wait for the days to do this as if I do frost will come to some varieties before harvest. I even grow pure Savita this way.

If you really need to sex it right away, just cover a single branch with the dark bag or tarp to force flowering. Way less of a hassle than messing around with the whole plant imo.

Ok I tied down the limbs yesterday. I also clipped a few leafs that had turned yellow. Then I haded some fresh soil to the top. So what happens next in the grow stage?
Do I need to make it bloom Summer will be ending in about 8 to 10 weeks?

Thanks you guys.
