New To This. Indoor Plant Help!

I'm basically doing the same thing. I have a 3 week old from outside on the porch no in a ventilated box with a light because I'm flowering early. Nothing serious, just a fun little grow, so don't be too harsh on my obvious lack of professionalism. I haven't gotten serious serious yet, just early experiments. But since she's out on the porch there's still light that is around it, but I have three layers of screen protecting my ventilation holes for light pollution. However, it's still not absolutely 100 percent pitch black. But it's DEFINITELY dark, is a ridiculously small amount of light going to prevent that hormone from producing? Keep in mind it's dark as hell, but a small fraction makes it in. The top is untouched by light though.

My plants are about 2.5 months in growing and about 3ft tall. I see what "I think" are hairs but I'm not sure. Is is true that you can only "know for sure" when they're put on a 12/12 light cycle? And how long should I allow them to grow before I put them on the 12/12 schedule. Any helpful responses will be appreciated.

I am a newbee,

Were ur plants on 24/7 for the whole 2.5 months?

I did read that when you have ur plants for 3 months that you can change the cycle to 12/12.

But I believe that it varies from the strand. is it a sative or indica. do u want it to get tall or keep it small?

Because plants can grow up to 8 feet, maybe more.
 
how early can you go to 12/12 to see if they are male or female? I would revert it back to veg after I figure out which to keep. Is it bad to do that?
 
to answer you question some people grow 12/12 from start to finish it all depends on how large you want your plants if you grow them for 1 month on 18/6 and its 18 inches tall and your just experimenting and your happy with how big it is switch over to 12/12...you wontyield as much bud if you were to let it grow for 3 months on 18/6 though

I don't know about every type of strain but I could always tell before I put my into12/12. I let them reach maturity before 12/12.

I would 100% seperate the plants this will only cause problems if you don't in the future.Take a clone of the end of one of the brances the bottom is best then it will not be takeing valuble budding sites has very little grows at the bottom any how.Put the cuttings in some rooting compound clonex is the best i have found but each to there own.Once they have roots put them on 12/12 12hrs on 12 off dark make sure it is complete black though when the lights are off or this can cause a plant to trip ie turn hermi.Have a look on here there are bound to be some pictures of pre female flowers any male get rid i mean kill them and get them has far from the grow area has possible, make sure that you wash yr hands and use clean cloths after touching males.If you have the lights indoors then put them on a 18/6 sced depending on the size if there a ft tall they will end up been 2 and 1/2 ft and so on when done,they normaly double or tripple in size when in flower.If you have plenty of good sun where you are at then putting them outside in the sun and bringing them indoors 12 hrs later will give you far better results than any small wattage light like a t5 of cfl they just are not powerful enoughth to do the job....tyke............................................................................................good luck..........................................................

I had a hard time determining if i had male or female untill they went into flowering. The balls didn't appear till 3 wks in and they weren't on the main stalk (which is where i was looking) but on the Nodes themselfs. Hope this helps other newbies trying to sex their babys.
 
Hi,

Im a n00b first grow, I have white widow and AK47, starting to flower, I abit concerned and would like ANY advice on the sex's. They were purchased as feminised seed but I am getting worried now as the seem to be producing a little bit of extra things I dont want, so any advise before I give them the chop and review my grow setup?

Thanks in advance!!!
