This is my first plant/grow. i'm using 2 23w on top and 2 13w on the sides for now. its in a homemade hydro system. its about 4-5 weeks old now. i started flowering about a week ago but i see no sign of it. is it possible it is a male? i took a close up of the top of the plant if thats any help? any comments or feedback would be great. try not to be too mean as this is my first time! thanks!

if its male you will soon see little balls but wait a little longer and it will let you know what sex it is soon

definately! that was my next step. i had to buy other lights for my smaller plants first. is anything over 23 worth buying? or should i just get more 23ws?

Looking Good from what I can see it looks like you cut the right part. I would take the two bottom leaves of the clone in the front (the big one). Also the clones need high humidy so put a piece of plastic over it or another cup just make sure whatever you use is clear.

Looking good I like the little humidity dome you made for the clones and dont forget to seperate the 3 out of that one cup before they kill each other for space

thanks tr33top! i threw the clones out and put the extra 2 in the cups. when i pulled them out they had 0 roots too. guess my dome was just keeping them from rotting haha

The roots take a long time to develop maybe 2 weeks or so when you use the cloning solution, but since you didnt it would take longer. Oh well maybe next time, and everyting is looking good glad to see you had better luck germinating seeds this time. Happy Growing

its hard to tell but the 2 plants in my hydro system have different leave counts. the smaller plant has 5 fans on the first real branches and the bigger one has 3. odd?
