Hello,
Thank you for letting me join this grow community! I have not grown since the 80’s and have found it very confusing.
Here is what I have cooking:
Indoors
Homemade grow tent-2ft wide 3 ft long and 3.5 ft high.
Grow light (see pic)
Using Pride Lands veg and have Pride Lands Bloom for later
Fiji water but will have to change soon as it has a ph of 7.5-7.7
PLANTS-started from seeds-
3 plants
1-smallest named Sparky auto female Gorilla Glue-not topped
2 from an oz I bought-topped
Medium sized named Stephane
Tallest named Mica
All started on January 1st, 2025
Soil- Mother Earth potting mix
3 gallon buckets with drain buckets
Grow led light (see pic)
My questions are
Is Stephane a male (see pic)
Is my light bright enough
Any suggestions on when to flip

sometime new branches can form on preflowers location, they could look almost like balls the first few days of growing.

Hi Granny
I got a few questions and tips. So you have 1 auto flower and 2 seeds found in your weed? Good idea to top those i'm guessing they are photoperiod right? Well you got very little head space to your lamp. Do you know the brand does it tell you watts? Dial is set fine but it will all depend on the brightness and real draw from the wall watts. So far everything looks do able. Yes i think that one may be leaning male but lets wait a week won't cause any harm. You got a timer set for 18-6 on off for that light?

There are two types of plants, Autoflower and Photoperiod. Photoperiod means that you have to change the lights to 12/12 in order to start flowering, versus Autoflower, which you can just run on the same light cycle 24/7 and it will automatically start flowering.
