I live in the Uk and I started my first ever grow in early January, of 3 plants. 1x Northern lights special feminized (KC Brains), 1x blue mystic regular (Nirvana), 1x swiss cheese Feminized (Nirvana). The only one i didn't buy fem turned out male (so far). I'm quite impressed with my efforts so far
It's kinda hard to explain, but I'll try
I started the NL inside and it was doing ok, but stretching for the outside light so in early March when it was warm enough I put it in a 15l pot, stuck it outside and gave it organic nutes, it was in my garden all summer and really bushed out. I topped it in June and super cropped it at the beginning of August. it's really big and bushy and loves the organic feed, which is (10-10-10). The plant is now about 9 months old, approx 5 feet wide and almost 7ft tall (before topping/supercropping).
But I cannot see any signs of the sex of the plant for sure. I can see small things which I've heard are signs that it's female, like the red striped branches and no male pollen sacs, but nothing for sure.
I've thought about force flowering a lower branch but I don't know if that'll be the best thing.
the nights are closing in now here and the weather will start to get too cold for it to be outside anyway. So in the next week I will be taking it in and getting a few clones off it before I put it on 12/12 and see what sort of harvest I can get off it as it's been in veg for 8 months.
I took a few photos of the parts I believe to be female pistils, but I'll leave them to your expert judgement.
I'm currently setting up my indoor grow room and have so far bought a 400w HPS light and a 125w CFL bulb (I had the light fitting anyway so I thought I'd make use of it)
I have 2 fans I intend to use and quite a large grow space, apart from that I don't know what is a necessity and what is an extra.
Anyone like to offer advice as to what I need to do to get the best out of this plant, nutes, defol, recommended lighting, anything I'm missing, doing wrong or could do better?
Thanks for reading.
