Hey there folks ! this is my first grow, i got these seeds from a friend who is not sure about the strain but according to him he has grown good bud from it. So i thought i should give it a try. I started these 4 plants indoors but two of them were moved outdoors in their second week due to space issue. These babies were popped out of soil on 22nd Oct so they are 4 weeks old now but the indoor plants are growing very slow so i might need to veg them for a little longer before switching to 12/12. I am sure i need more light as this is not enough, i am going to upgrade to a 300Watts LED light within a few days. But in the meanwhile I would like to bring PH down to 6 from 7 but i dont have access to PH up/down solution where i live, so what do you guys think about baking soda or apple cider vinegar to use as a PH down, is it a good idea or should i go for something else ? I also need to buy a PPM meter yet to check run-off / salt buildup or nutrient lockout. I gave them a little bit if chicken manure as a mulch in week 2 but they got minor nute burn so i scraped off all the manure from the top and flushed for a week or two. In fourth week i gave them diluted bat guano tea. But i guess the major cause of slow growth is cheap lighting because one of the outdoor plant has a fair growth rate and the other has stunted growth they are all same age. The bigger one (outdoors) is showing preflowers since its under 12/12 for two weeks. There are alot of balls coming out from nodes but I see a little white hair coming out from only one ball at 5th node the rest of them have no hairs so i guess its a male (or hermaphrodite), please have a look, identify the sex and confirm if i am wrong. As with the indoor plants, until i get a new light, i would love to have any tips and suggestions to improve their growth rate. Peace.

Yes, the male is just that.
You better separate them or you will have pollination going , which is good, if you want to make seeds.

Hope all is well in your world.

Is this grow still alive?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

***GROW UPDATE***
Hello friends, sorry for being late, i was a little busy, mmmmm may be lazy too. So here it is, its been 8 long weeks of vegging. I just switched them to 12/12 on 18th december (3 days ago from now) i know the growth is not optimal because of various reasons mainly poor soil and low lights. My two outdoor plants both turned to be males so I chopped them to death. I am hoping these two indoor plants to turn out female, even one female would make me happy but if both turn males it would be a disaster. So lets see what happens i hope it will show sex within a few days. During vegitation i fed them with some bat guano tea and mulched with little bit of worm castings. Topping was done in early stages but bending is still being done regularly. I also adjusted my ph to 6 using lemon juice and it works. I am building my diy cob panel. Would changing the lights at this stage stress them out ? What do you guys think about my plants. How much estimated yeild can i get per plant according there current size if everything goes right ? Can i do anything for the soil to make it a bit areated ? I am worried for the poor roots. And yeah i got my auto seeds from canada for my second grow i am going to use this soil again but this time i will mix in same amount of coco coir as soil. So 30% soil 30 percent coco and 40 percent compost and pearlite in fabric pots. I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions and tips. Lots of love guys. Peace ✌

No reply ? Another update... this is the female plant i killed the male. Its been two weeks into flowering. But pistols are growing very slow ? What do yoo guys think ? Please someone reply and give opinions...

So guys this is the latest update, right now my plant is at the end of its 9th week of flowering. Everything seems ok apart from the size of the buds. But Thats fine since its my first grow. But one thing i am worried about is that in the eighth week one evening, my timer didn’t go off at 12th hour so it went on for another hour until i found out. So my plant received 13 hour of light flowering that day. Will it stress the plant and negatively impact my end result like potency ? Effects?
Waiting for some trichomes to start turning amber, bit they are still milky in 9th week Should i harvest it or give it one more week for trichomes to turn a bit amber ? You think i can get 20 to 30 gram of dry bud out of this plant. would love to hear your feedback guys. Peace

Im a newbie but it looks fine to me. Cut a bud and dry in microwave in short bursts the smoke and see. Some strains dont necessarily need amber trichs.

Ok, well i think if i waited for 4 months, i should wait i little more to complete the curing process and than check my first ever homegrown And yeah i was also thinking may be this strains will not give me amber trichomes. So i am gonna chop it anyways.
