What Are These On My Plant?

[cnumba9]

I've been trying to find out what these hair looking things are on my plant. My plant sprouted 15 days ago and has been in organic MG (not recommended but it's doing well surprisingly). It's at a average 85 temp 40 rH with 18/6 light cycle. The seed is unknown as its bag seed so I'm wondering if these hair-like things are revealing it being a female. Also when should I start LST my plant for better yields? I was thinking about starting now but second guessed it because stem may be too weak? Thank you!

Too young to really tell. Just looks like plant growth. Are you flowering that plant already?

Definitely too early to tell. It usually takes a month or two to show pre-flowers which are what let you know if it's boy or girl. Those nodes you circled are the beginning of new branches.

a rare phasmid?

called growth

Secondaries. That's we're the buds will grow if it's a woman

Thank you! Do you guys suggest starting LST now or when I'm about a month in?

 

[Irietime]

I would let it go another couple weeks, then gently bend over the main growing shoot towards the top and secure it to the pot with a thicker gauge coated wire or whatever you can find( string would work as long as it doesn't cut into the stem). Doing this will trigger the secondary branches to bust out with growth

Or you can top the plant on the sixth set of leaves, making two tops instead of one and also activating the secondary branches into to action at the same time. Many choices, no wrong ways really. Have fun and remember less is more. Let the plant grow. Peace

Random thought after seeing this thread, specifically the pictures you posted.. you don't want light getting to your roots. I'd highly suggest not using a clear container for your plants, as light will certainly get to your roots soon if not exposed already.

looks really good friend,,the hair on stalk is the same as tomatoe plants,,stomnea or some thing like that,lol the circle is gonna be new branches,,with that node space looks like your working with a sativa,or you need the light a little closer to keep them from going threw the roof,lol,,one thing for sure as healthy as it is,,time to up pot the baby were it can stretch its legs,,,i start my topping at 3rd node,,now when you transplant,growth will slow a bit till the feeder root hit bottom of pot,be patient,,your off to a bang up start,welcome to the gardening

If anything get a fan on that stem, you can start LST on the second node if you want I've tried it at 5th node, 2nd node, etc it all works dude it's all your preference, I will say it looks like it stretched a bit so lower your lights , you want those nodes tight, seems to me there's a lot of visible stem, but once those new inner nodes come in it will look better
