Seed to Flower Week 2

Week 2 comes to an end. Today is day 15 of my plant. I have been doing 12/12 from the very begining. I wanted to experiment with it and see what happens. I have no idea which strain it is, just some real good bagseed. I'm still trying to determine sex. Anyone got an idea? I tried to get the best pics I could, but my camera sucks...

I have not been using any nutes yet, any suggestions on when I should start? I have just been watering when the soil seems dry about 2-3inches down. Ph checked of course. Under CFL's for now. What do you think?

start useing nutes when the first round leafs fall off. sorry dont know sex yet. post some more pics in a day or two.
craige....

tad blurry to see sex...may be too early. looking healthy though good luck

Look Nice...I am doing the same thing with one and have one I vegged for only 2 weeks....whats the height and node count on yours and what medium are you using?
I am using HPS, T5 and T8 with mixed kelvins 3000K, 4100K and 6500K

Thanks for the comments guys. This is under a mix of Warm and Cool CFL's for right now. I am saving up for my HPS. Currently about 5 inches tall.

Today is day 17 and I just turned the lights on. Here are some updated pics. What do you guys think on the sex? or is it still too early? Also, when should I start using nutes on this plant? I have Blood Meal 12-0-0, will that work? I'm not sure on the type of potting soil I'm using. Just regular soil I guess, not Miracle Grow or anything. How much water should I be giving this plant? When I do give it nutes, how much should I mix in with the water? Thanks for the help!

Its still not showing sex but from its general look and tightness and the shape of the stem i would lay cash on it being a female all though i may be wrong.

I have been doing seed to bud grows myself and i started adding very weak nutes (half strength)after 4 weeks,make sure that you dont continue to just feed it blood meal as its only nitrogen and the plants will need p and k amongst other things to make any buds.

u see them little round leafs in your pic. well i start feeding when thay drop off by there selfs.

Ok, thanks crazy.

natmoon - when do your seed to bud grows start showing sex?

Usually after 3-4 weeks max,males show quicker which is another reason i said that its likely a fem as it would prolly have balls by now,having said that you have a low powered light by the look of it so its harder to say and mine grew quicker than yours because they had a 400watt dual spectrum hps 12" above them and 2 large fluro tubes as well.

I also planted mine right back down to the level of the very first seedling leaves,cant remember their proper name,which gives a lot more roots.
The easiest way to do this is to only fill half the pot in the first place and the fill the pot right up with soil after its stretched a bit.
If you can afford a hps lamp even a small one like 150 watt or 250 watt get one you wont regret it.

Your plants are looking fine anyway mate,nice and healthy so far

Right now I have 3 26 Watt CFL's on it. It will soon be moved to an area with 16 CFL's. 2 42 Watt and 14 26 Watt. Mylar covered walls, fans, vents, ect... I am saving up for my 400 Watt HPS. Hopefully in about a week or so I'll have it.

Thanks for the comments!

I think cfls and fluros are pretty poor on their own to be honest,i love my hps and in combination with fluro tubes or cfls they are great.
You wont regret the hps lamp purchase

i start my seedlings off with 1/8 th strength nutes from day 1,,if your doin a flower from day 1 type thing,,maybe you should be givin it flowering nutes,,either way like I said,,nutes from day 1,,just not full strength,,good luck

Keep on Growin

i checked out the pic again, i saw what you are saying but I beleave that just part of a leaf at a bad angle. I'll take some more pics when the lights come back on.

Day 18. Here are some updated pics. I'm still unsure of the sex. I do not see any little sack or balls. Just new leafs coming out of everywhere! Good sign? Let me know what you guys think.

not long now, you should be noticing pistols popping up soon. keep looking arond the bottom 2nd node up. peace
