Too soon to tell buddy. Just had the same problem and you're prob worrying cause you don't want them to get pollinated if so. Sometimes the males seeds sprout and grow more vigorously than females but you won't be able to tell quite yet seems like it's a little early. And the cfls might be forcing it to take longer. I use hps 1000w on 5 plants and it took 11-14 days to show sex on 3 (male) and 2 days to show sex on 2(female)

i feel like you should have gave them a little longer to develop more node sights(but could be the CFLs low intensity of light photons) as well as you should have chopped the terminal bud.

Terminal will be the bud site at the very top. So it looks like you did cut it cause there is a spot where the branches make a V. Axial buds will be your small buds. Terminal=vertically above branch and axial will be a smaller bud site that attach to the other parts of the branch.

LOL I was wondering if you cut it on purpose after you started asking questions. It ended up working out in your favor cause you wanna cut the plant to force two terminal buds. My overall opinion you're doing fine but you're work is only as good as your materials(good lights-metal halide for veg and high pressure sodium for flower) are. If you plan on doing this more than once then it would be wise to get a controlled environment (tent or good ventilated room) and some better lighting to increase the node areas and reduce the stretching. I say you get it some better lights and re force it to veg longer until it gets some more nodes or yield will suffer.

Yea just let me know. If you just switch it back to 24 hrs tonight it won't have a problem since it didn't develop sex organs quite yet. I would advise getting the light sooner than later and if I were you do at least 5 plants so you have a better chance of getting 2 or 3 females

Yea it's better to get accustomed with making your own feed chart, that's why I do and I use flora series general hydro since its last longer than organics. Canna products are basically a rip since you can buy in bulk and make your own solutions. I mean put it back on a 24 hr veg cycle so you can grow some more nodes so your bud has a place to come out of until it gets about 2'-3' then flower it. How tall is it

Lol Dude stop, he's just a beginner. He does not need 5 or more plants to start, he definitely does not need an HPS or mh, those things are expensive and are a lot of money if he's just testing growing weed to see if he likes it
Also 24 hours of light is proven to be a bad idea. It promotes some more leaf growth but not root growth. Majority of root growth happens at night. I believe the root system relates directly to buds, more roots more fruits.

Also he's not even using cfls, if you read earlier posts I recomended he ATLEAST buy cfls since they have great lumen output per wat for the price and much cooler than what he has. Perfect for starting out. After he gets a few grows under his belt then I would think he should spring for the hid
