Ok, quick question ppl, I think I have 4 indica and 1 sativa. Indicas have 5 to there fan leaves right? and Sativas have 7 to there fan leaves? All are female. all budding nicely and havent seen any nards on any. Lucky bagseeds I guess.

You normally tell them by the way they look in general I though? I haven't heard anything about telling them by the number of leaves they have...indica's have fatter, broad leaves, and sativa's have narrow, slender leaves. That's as much as I know!

Lookin good! To me looks like indica dominant strains, the last pic looks like more a sativa dominant strain.
Just going on the leaf shape anyways :)

They look mostly Indica to me...looking pretty good but noticed a couple are looking a little droopy. How often have you been watering them and what are your temps like? It could be that they are root bound because the pots are a little small, but if that's the case I don't think transplanting during flowering would be a good idea anyway. Overall they are looking good though!

Ah ok then, that explain the droopiness! I don't know too much about nutes...however, most people don't use Nitrogen when flowering...BUT I actually have been reading recently that you want to use Nitrogen because it's the leaves that actually produce the buds, not the nutes! Keep the leaves healthy and you keep the bud healthy and get bigger yields. If you have time, read through this: https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/267989-uncle-bens-gardening-tweeks-pointers.html. Uncle Ben breaks it down, and I remember him breaking down what a good ratio for flowering is early on in the posts!

Gave them full dose of MG 15-30-15 and they seem fine, if not happier then the night before :) but I think I still have to find something in my budget that got lower N in it. look at the lst of the plants lol.... my first time trying it of course and I used tape and string. only thing around the house to use at the time. Of course I check the next day and they seem to pull the string right out of the tape. now I know why ppl use a basket or holes in the pot to tie too.. otherwise.... how do they look??

well Im hoping for atleast something good. been hard to do in this box. I think I should have gone with longer 1 like yours. But I did take clones off 2 of them on monday and have them in veg box right now hoping they will take root. they dont look like they are dying... well not yet.

Yea I know what you mean, it can be hard to find space. But it's all good, this is your first grow and you are doing a great job. Better to learn in a small space first! Let me know how those clones work out...I should take some in a couple weeks myself but I might be too scared to try this first grow :oops:

Very nice, strong, healthy plants! They are looking awesome! You have thick stems and branches all over the place...do you have any kind of idea how long you will go? You're doing a good job, can't wait to see as they get closer to harvest :)
