Today I realized we have entered the 14/10 hour daylight cycle, in the pacific northwest. Towards the end of August we will be at the final stages of the 13/11 and finally to the 12/12 early-mid September.

One thing I noticed this morning is the plant seems to have grown a lot last night. It is now taller than my railing outside, I can't find my measuring tape but it is up to my first rib and I am 5'9". Another thing I noticed is at the base of the nodes something is emerging. They're not everywhere, but on a lot of the plants nodes.

I am getting happily anxious to see if it's a she

I just took some zoomed pic

s. Hard to see anything, but I'm hopeful.

 

[steff]

Im pretty sure this is a female! We'll see as it grows more, but I see a a little hair coming out of many

 

[steff]

This is making me so nervous This morning I went to check on it, and it seems like the white hairs are growing. I need to get my phone to zoom in, I will post pics later.

How exciting! Still not getting my hopes up though

Awesome, the color came back! Looks like it's gonna be female to me too.

 

[steff]

Hey, yes the color did come back and there was growth spurt as well. I am scared for the growth because it's taller than my railing now lol. I am going to take pics tonight, hopefully I will get better pictures

I don't know about soil questions but consider FIMing the plant at least once to get more tops.

It's looking good steph!

 

[steff]

I can't get good pictures, black apparently doesn't help illuminate what I see. I'm pretty confident she's female now. I just took this pic. . Not much different from the others yesterday but there is a little changing

looks good bro.

 

[steff]

looks good bro.

Thanks bro

 

[steff]

Sorry for asking, does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be fertilizing her with now? I have only used casting tea, seems to be working, but I want to give it as much as I can afford. On a budget too. Thanks in advance

Keep up with what your doing. It's growing like gangbusters and looks healthy. The worm castings and tea seem to be keeping it going. If you want to tweak it a little some products to consider are steamed bone meal for a boost of P for flowering. Blood meal, or any similar quick supply of N would green you up if the tea stops being enough. I would avoid the guano's and similar manures simply because they need to compost (cook) before the are ready available, and composting heats the soil, and thus could cook your roots. If you want to get into the world of biologicals you could get a small sampler packet of a mycorrhizal fungi product. If you don't know what that is, you now have some homework
