In this pic I see what looks to be the tips of pistils starting to emerge from the calyx that is on the left.

Since this thread/pics were posted a day ago, by now the pistils on that calyx should be clearly seen with the eye (if you don't have bad eyes/vision).

Pretty certain it is a lady .

Just Switched the feed from the grow to bloom. Struggled deciding of feeds the markets like an Aladdin s cave so many to choose from and types for different grows, confusing for a noob hahaha.

Right on dude! Are you growing anything else under that 400/600w? If I was using a 600w I would be growing 4 to 6 plants in a 9 square foot spot with the light about 24' above the canopy.

I have a couple of Kratom under and some salvia and one cactus, a bit random haha. I’ve left it on 400 but maybe I’ll turn it up to 600 but the plant seems really good, on full I’m sure I could get four plants under though

Everyone has their own preferences about how they like to grow....

...but just my 2 cents, I'd suggest growing the organic route with soil that is actually alive and not synthetically with bottled salt based "nutes" .

Sounds like it's your first grow and you're growing indoors...so don't trip on it, but next time around maybe look into and consider growing organically in live soil.

Yes nutrients I found it a mine field, so I planted in a mix of peat and compost, and these are the nutrients I bought, a friend of mine suggested using tomato feed haha.



These are a little pricey for what you get though, being first time I thought I’d buy something ‘proper’ as you do

make sure to be consistent with the lighting. it should be getting as much light as possible during veg (18+ hours/Day) and when you flower it 12 hours light/12 hours dark. the important part is not interrupting the light/dark cycle during flower because this can cause male flowers to form on a female plant (hermaphrodite) and the plant will self-pollinate and try to go to seed

Pics 1,2,4,5 in the last group of pics you posted are showing male flowers starting...especially pic 4(at the edge of your middle finger). You are going to want to remove those before they start throwing pollen, or your buds will be full of seeds.

The problem with growing seeds from a bag of weed is that it is almost always caused by hermaphrodite pollen. People don't usually keep males around who aren't breeding. Seeds produced from hermaphrodite pollen are much more likely to do the same, especially when stressed.

I was worried this may be the case, I’ve taken more images of some places.
I have some feminised seeds here I’ve bought I plan to grow And some cbd seeds also, I have a tent on order etc so better luck next time around I guess haha! Was a nice practice run.

super cropping is where you top one node and when 2 new nodes pop up you top both those to then get 4 new nodes to pop up and top those to get 8 new nodes and so on and so on)

Super cropping  is were you pinch the stem just enough to break the cambium then let it heal to make a knuckle

---

"Super-cropping" refers to both of those different methods?


Seems like two totally different things to me . One is causing damage to the stem and the idea is that it'll create a more robust xylem/phloem after it has healed. The other method is simply topping a plant which creates more "tops"/budsites. I've never heard of both of those techniques referred to as "super-cropping"....?...

Or is "super-cropping" just a generic blanket-term that covers many different types of techniques that increase the yield?
