hi everyone well i started this post ages ago ... https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/75838-my-little-window-experiment-please.html
but nobody replied.. hope someone replies to this lol.

well i got my plants from the window to a light about just over a week ago and im wondering if there showing signs of sex yet, ive looked at pics of what a female should look like but im stilll not sure could someone please take a look and let me know?

the brown speckles on the leaves are from some water id sprayed on them, was advised to by a friend but i did it before the lights came on n i burnt/boiled the leaves lol, but should be ok. i hope!

i got the seeds from a bag of blueberry i bought about a year ago, there under 600w light now and getting 250ml of water mixed with miracle grow all purpose soluble plant food (UK fertiliser Decleration, NPK blend 24-8-16 with trace elements) every day to 2 days

the biggest one was grown in the window under sun light for about a month and half, the other for about a month

so from the pics can anyone tell me if there female? also is that plant food good for vegging these kind of plants?

Peace

Thats true, if its over 50% dead, go ahead and trim it off. No sense in wasting energy on dead leaves.

Click to expand...

I'm not sure if its recomended, but I did take out all the single dead leaf stems. Little at a time tho, dont want to do it all at once. after it was all done, I didnt notice any harm. Just growth.

i noticed the female have a similar part to the male under the hair.
does the hair grow after that base part? that would give the impression that its male during early veg????

Yeah your are right. Go ahead and wait another week to be for sure, but u will notice distinct indentions on the male pollen sacks, compared to the pear shaped preflower of a female. You will be alright to wait at least two more weeks i would imagine with out pollination. I had 12 plants, after 1 week of flowering I only had 4 females. Like i said tho, go ahead and wait a little longer, just to be safe. You will def be able to tell, I promise.

ok thanks alot for ur comments, think in the near future ill be buying pre femanized seeds, does anyone know of a good website to buy from? ive always been a big fan of blueberry, i also hear its easy to grow. i also like the cross things, think i might try a blues cross cheese or maybe blues cross jack or widow, does anyone know of a good website thats worth recomending for these strains but at a reasonable price?

i also imagine there going to be very smelly so does anyone know of a cost affective way to keep the smells down?

and whats the maximum i could do with a 600w lamp?

thanks for the help
