1st Grow, CFL Bagseed in Dresser

Well looks good for your 1st grow. It is amazing how fast a simple grow to save some money turns into a new found hobby about plants in general. My 1st grow provided 3 males out of 3 plants, I am 1 week in my second grow. I hope that you have better luck then I did in getting a female.

thanks trux, sorry to hear about the bad luck with the males, im crossing my fingers for better luck. I also have been hoping that calling her a girl and talking to her like a girl it gives her that little motivation to produce some beautiful buds and not balls! Still no signs of sex, usually takes 1-2 weeks right?

I long ago gave up worrying about male/female?? Just buy feminized seeds, Viola, all girls!
Now that's not to say always"guaranteed" females. I had a freebie from Greenhouse Seeds, The Church, feminized, came out full blown male! And I had 3 beautiful clones from it, and of course they were male too!
Compost fodder!!!! These things happen occasionally, but you can pretty much depend on getting girls.
Good luck & good grow.......BB

thanks BB, I've started looking into different banks to get some feminized seeds so that I can stop worrying about wasting my time and efforts on male plants. Where have you had the best experiences getting seeds from?

After numerous BAD experiences, with other "seed banks", I only buy from the Attitude......BB

Still no sex, but hoping for signs any time now. She's starting to get tall so I tied her branches down and tucked her fan leaves to expose bud sites to more light.
I am going to get her a bigger space in a smaller sized grow tent, but still bigger than her box. She will go in the tent once I get it set up, then the box will be a beg box for clones and new seedlings.
I (hopefully) attached some pictures of her today after I tied her down, im on my phone because my computer needs a new battery, a little harder to upload pictures. +rep for contributions, pretty sure I've given reps to everyone on here, at least when it's let me. Next update will hopefully have a gender for you!

btw BB, I had been looking at attitude recently, general consensus seems to be them, so I think that's where im going to next. Thanks for your input once again, +rep if im able to!

nice i cant wait till flower

any updates?

unfortunately not yet, she seems to be taking her time showing her gender. I have spent much time the last couple days staring at her hoping those white pistils will just appear! I got some big bloom yesterday and im going to feed her that tomorrow, anyone have experience with using molasses and big bloom? or is that overkill? hopefully I should be letting you all know the gender soon.
Just as a side note, been setting up another box, a taller one that will be my flowering box once it is done, then with my future grows I will have a veg chamber, a flowering chamber, and will be able to grow more than one plant!

Hi Lost, wanted to say "kudos" for the LST, very good first effort on that! Your girl looks to be a sativa/indica cross, so it should be showing sex sign very soon now. Patience is key here, Good luck & good grow.......BB

IT'S A GIRL! IT'S A GIRL! IT'S A GIRL!!!!!! I got up this morning, which is around the same time her lights are on, and when I did my normal checks, what do you know, I see a little white pistil sticking out! I didnt get myself too excited incase I was tricking myself so I looked around different sites on her and I saw the same little pistils. I tried taking pictures but the pistils aren't long enough for my phone to pick up. I am going to give her big bloom tomorrow when i planned on watering her anyway. Saddle up everyone, i got my first female plant! Is it time to smoke it yet?

Wootwoot gonna b watchin congrats!¡!¡!¡

I think this says it best:
BB

ah thank you, ah thank you both. Hopefully she performs well for you all now that she's decided to give up those pistils.

hopefully a few pictures from this morning are attached. They really show how much she's filled in since I tied her down.

Yes, a thing of beauty and a work in progress! Our first girl we NEVER forget, LOL.......BB

well guys, I messed up. Yesterday I rotated her pot as I usually do, and I forgot that this time she was tied. As I turned her, her top two branched came off of her and her main stem split down quite far. I ended up just topping her, and taking a few clones from her branches that came off. I'm pretty upset I did this to her, could the shock of this kill her? or does anyone have personal experience with what I should do?

It'll heal itself, just grow those clones into big strong girls. I wouldn't worry TOO much, plants are pretty resiliant, and since you're still early in flowering I don't think you have too much to worry about, just don't do it late into flower cause that would be bad...lol...Naw, it'll be fine dawg, just keep an eye on her.
