I need some advice from all the "broke" pros out there...I have always been told that the flat, white seeds are female and the ones to plant... while the fat, hard, brown ones are males and worthless...now, I acquired some awesome bud (I have no idea what it's scientific strain is) and decided to try to grow a little of it on my own...out of a quarter i got only two fat seeds and saw no white ones so I pulled out the needlenose tweezers and seperated a bud from my stash at the stem...I was greeted by these little white-green hairy pods so i seperated one and inside of it lay a tiny piece of white crumble about the size of a pin head...assuming that these were the "female" seeds i plucked about 7 of them...not knowing if they were seeds or not i stuck my finger in a pot of dirt that had a dying houseplant of mine in it, dropped the tiny "things" pods and all into the hole, covered it up and to my amazement in just three days i had sprouts...I have since then seperated them and replanted in the same pot...(the houseplant has been removed)I have six plants and have moved them down three times putting the root further into the dirt and allowing the leaves to rest on the top of the soil...they are growing and are now about 8-9" long from root to tip (after two and a half weeks)...I have no fancy set up...i am broke and have no desires to supply the earth with bud...I just want some good stank to puff on...I think I've read enough to figure out the male and female thing and seperating them and so on but my real question now is..."Will I be okay taking my plants in and out of the house?" I have been setting them on the deck during sunlight and bringing them in at night I really only want one or two good plants but I want to keep them short and sweet which leads me to my next question...how do I do that? My plants have the set of round leaves and the set of serrated leaves with the next set of serrated ones emerging from within the first...how long do I wait to seperate and replant them? I know a small pot can cause them to become root bound but can it also help to keep the plant small...I would prefer to keep her/them around three feet tall to help accomodate my living arrangements...will I be able to do this with just plain old water and sunlight and no fancy devices? the old fashioned way has worked amazingly so far for me but I don't want lose them later down the road...any valuable info would be greatley appreciated by this dumb first-timer
