My goal for this plant in particular, since its my first one, would be to simply not kill it lol. If it gets to the point where it actually produces buds (hopefully its female) I would be extremely happy. Its going to be meant for my personal use, no selling it or giving away by any means. Size wise, I would like it to get as big as possible, but its currently only in a small closet so I'm not sure how much it will restrict its growth. The current pot I have is about 1' diameter x 1' deep. I have some 5 gallon buckets though that I could transplant into. Its a single light currently (here) since I'm only doing 1 plant. I'm not sure exactly what plant it is, the seeds were gifted to me so I haven't a clue if its auto, feminized, etc. Is there any way to tell once it starts flowering? Also, when will I be able to identify the gender?What’s your goal for this plant? As how big do you want to get it, what size pot will you flower it in, what type and how much lighting, how big will the room be? Is it an auto or feminized?
Regardless of the answers if you want to top it, it’s too soon and too low. You’d want top such that you have 3-5 nodes left. And top higher up, as high up as possible.
Perhaps you may want to flower after it grows few more nodes without topping and take clones from lowest branch(s). Or after a few more nodes grow top it two nodes down and that could be a mother clone. You may not want to put time, space , money into an unknown and potentially male plant.
I am not feeding it any nutrients as of right now, as I'm not really too sure what I should add to it. As for water I've been using fresh rainwater (its been raining a lot here recently). The soil I'm using is just some cheap potting mix that I picked up, same exact as this but I only paid $8 for it at my local hardware store.yep to your question about topping, nice to try to leave a bit of stem for added strength..
are you feeding and what is the soil? your using?
Actually yes. I noticed a few about a week ago there were these tiny gnat looking flies.. about 4 or 5 of them flying around the plant. I didn't do anything about it though and they seem to have disappeared on their own... not really sure what that was all aboutok
do you see any teeny tiny fly’s around her?

Ok so before I break it down for you how much money do you plan to invest now and over the next 6 months to a year.My goal for this plant in particular, since its my first one, would be to simply not kill it lol.

Umm, that's not something I really thought about yet. At the moment I'm not looking to get a massive harvest or anything just enough for myself to enjoy, so just a few plants here and there down the road. What did you have in mind? I'd be willing to invest a bit of money to get a better quality yield for sure, I just don't need to grow a ton of plants.Ok so before I break it down for you how much money do you plan to invest now and over the next 6 months to a year.
ahh, good to know. any recommendations for next time?that soil is famous for gnat problems..
Alright I’ll break it down. But before I start you need to figure out the genetics. Just one bag seed is a gamble. You might end up with a male. If you don’t know how to determine or even what makes them start to flower then you have some reading to do. Find an actual book not online stuff.Umm, that's not something I really thought about yet.

No need to spend a lot of money now. A single $75 150w hps can easily produce 4-6oz of AAA+ bud in 3-4 months. Quality will be every bit as good as a $1000 light.Alright I’ll break it down.

To answer the soil question I personally like soilless mixes. Maybe the most common is Promix. I recommend you get bale which will cost 30 bucks. And get fabric pots off Amazon. No pladt
Next for fertilizer I suggest FloraNova. It’s a true one part and I can attest that it is great and easy. Get the combo pack on Amazon which includes the grow and bloom. You don’t use both at same time rather ones fir veg stage other fir bloom.
I can’t stress enough to not listen to anyone about adding this or that additives to get big frosty nugs. If you decide to drop a few grand and plan to produce some weight I’ll show you a simple yet effective recipe. But for now just the FloraNova.
Then there’s that light. It’s not gonna do much. I’d keep that for veg and clones and get this light. I have a bunch and they are legit and cheapest you’ll find.

More to come…
That’s a true 400 watt w Samsung LM301B and 2 Meanwell drivers for 200 bucks with the coupon. It will do circles around a 150 hps. It has a dimmer and reds and IR. And the heat output is nothing compared to the hps. And no need for new bulbs every 6 months. So I will disagree with you. This room has a mix of the 200 watt version and a full spectrum triple chip light.A

Disagree with what? Of course a 400w led will grow more. I never said it wouldn't. I just said the quality from the hps will be every bit as good.That’s a true 400 watt w Samsung LM301B and 2 Meanwell drivers for 200 bucks with the coupon. It will do circles around a 150 hps.

According to the amazon reviews, they are lying about the leds being samsung 301h.That’s a true 400 watt w Samsung LM301B and 2 Meanwell drivers for 200 bucks with the coupon.
