First grow, opinions?

liv.27 · Mar 17, 2016

Hey everybody,
So this is my first grow from bagseed. I just wanted your opinions on my plants

The biggest one is 4 1/2 weeks old and the two others are 3 weeks old.

Yesterday, I noticed on the biggest one what i think are pre-flowers. Am I right?

Nope youre wrong.Preflowers are a collection of immature calyxies...pistils will pop from the node junctions..I dont see either on your plant yet.They do look pretty healthy though.

You have to sex them for pistils or balls -

In how long do you think i'll be able to tell?

liv.27 · Mar 17, 2016

Also, do they look healthy enough? Are they okay or small for a 4 1/2 and 3 week plants?

Not yet maybe a few more weeks. If you use 24/0 it can take longer for cannabis to get sexually mature. That small plant in the big pot is going to explode lol.

Post some pics so we can update our deficiency/toxicity charts :bigjoint:

Nah,good job jumping on hydro from the start.

Thanks guys for the input!

Another question:

I topped all the plants and got good new growth sprouts and all but I don't see when and how I could lst those.... Do I have to put the lights further away to force the plants to ''stretch'' so I can bend the stems? Or wait? lol

tie the main stem down to the pot, lowering the main tops below the others. this will shift the hormone pathways and they will stretch all on there own

They look healthy but kind of on the small side but looks like you got fluorescents or CFL's so that would explain that unless you have HID lights but the small pots will keep them smaller too.

Might I suggest replacing the foil with mylar for much better reflective quality.

The stems are pretty resilient and pliable at this stage.Cannabis grows generally symetrically.Bend the plant over between the nodes If you can.

I was thinking that myself. Personally I would be potting up now

I put it in a 5 gallon pot. You guys think it'll be enough until harvest?

Meh.... I'm just growing on the cheap with CFLs. Pretty limited budget
