Hi Guys, First Grow, First Blog, First Everything, So any help and recommendations are appreciated. I was unsure whether to do this blog because I'm aware this is a very amateur level grow so I might get a lot of stick for not properly investing in the equipment and doing this properly, if nothing else, people can learn from this and learn what not to do. So hear is the deal, I bought some sucky seedy weed and decided to pull out some of the seeds and save them for a bit. With nothing to lose I decided to try and germinate some not thinking too much about it, anyway, used a few methods, cotton wool, toilet paper, straight to pot for germination and i got about a 20% success rate for the seeds. I now have 5 pots each with one or two little plant-lings coming through. I am very aware that I will have to weed out the males so if by the end of this I have two female plants, I think I will be lucky. So lets see what happens. Setup: -En-suite Bathroom with built in extractor fan. Finding it quite easy to control temp and humidity so far as no windows in the room -100W Grow light. Can not control colour unfortunately, i thought i could when i bought it. Might buy a 2nd as the plants grow but not sure yet. -Bowls of water and clingfilm over my box to control humidity so far. First 4 days were without box so had low humidity around 50-55%. hope this doesn't affect too much -Bought some ph testers, so i can control soil and water levels. -No humidifier or fan as of yet. -No TENT planned, box works well for now but once they grow and require less humidity plan is to just leave them in bathroom no room for tent tbh. -Minimal sprinkling of water each day for now. Very aware of trying not to over water as this seems like a big problem early on but could use some advice on watering at this stage.

Hello Scott. Cannabis plants usually show sex about 8 to 10 weeks. I see yours is only 7 weeks old. You will need to have a bit more patience. To sex a plant without putting them into flower, take some clippings off the lower branches, long enough to fit in a glass of water. Take the leaves off that would sit in water and you want 3 or 4 leaves above the water. Put the clippings in a 12/12 light environment. The males will show first. Change the water daily with lots of oxygen in the water and just a bit of food (too much food and the salt in the food might burn the clippings) to help the clipping show its flowers. If your plants don't show you what they are after 12 weeks, then try clipping thing. Good Luck. Chuck.

Off to a good start πŸ‘ I would not recommend removing any leafs yet as they are the sola panels that power the growth. Good luck with the grow πŸŒ±β˜€οΈπŸŒ³ ✌️

@Scott_Tennerman, I tend not to remove any at that stage unless they are really in the way of some bud and I can't just bend them out of the way. Those leaves are stored nutrients that the plant can draw on later if needed. Of course I grow autos and you are doing photos and you might have training in mind other than simple LST Which ever way you decide to go remember to have fun a enjoy the grow🌱 ✌️

Hey there :) I'm a total newbie to the topic too, also starting with no fancy setup, even started out around the same time as you πŸ˜‹ That beeing said I never the less want to give you my ideas about your grow :) I don't think the drooping of the leaves is an issue of nutrients as they (as far as I know) express most of the time in yellowing/browning and/or necrosis on the leafs. But if you're feeling like overfeeding them, cut the dose of nutes down. I had no problems with giving as less as 1/8 of recommended dosage every second watering so far. The droopy leafs are normaly indicating water issues. I think in your case the ladys are overwatered (Pictures are a bit dark. But if they don't feel dry this should be it) I'm using 11L bag too,, saturated the soil once with water when transplanting, waited for it to dry out, and then fed every 3-4 days ~250-300ml. I can also recommend LST since I'm having a very good experience doing it 😊 If the stems are already too hard to bend try rolling them around in your fingers with low pressure to soften them before. But like I said I'm just starting out too, so if I'm wrong don't hesitate to correct me πŸ˜… Keen on learning through exchange with the community. Also everyone has their own way of doing it, so there is no definite way to go. Big up and keep em growing 😎

@getsomeUbik, hey man, thanks for the tips, yes I think it was just a case of over-watering. I am using organic compost and finding that I need to water very rarely. Your LST looks good! I don't know if there is enough room to do the same with my set up now. I wanted to wait to sex the plants before doing LST so I knew how many plants I would have. Your grow looks like its coming on nicely now!
