The water Ph should be about 6.5 and only water when the 1st inch-1 1/2 inch of top soil becomes dry.

Water until some water seeps outta the drainage holes. =]

cool.ends of leaves (on top row) now also turning yellow.hope the flush works.oh ya another thing,is it worth putting my plant into 12/12 to find out if its male or female so early in the vegatative cycle?.......

I veg for at least 4 weeks. I like a bigger yeild as i am sure everyone else does too. I hear some people use the paper bag method to find out the sex of their plant in during veg. You put a paper bag over one of the budding spots for 12 hours of dark and 12 hours of light during regular veg and just that part will show sex. I always buy fem myself though. Never tried the bag trick.

If you use the bag method then the paper bag has to be almost totally light proof. If you use a heavy black plastic bag for the deed, be careful that you don’t cook the plant in the bag by setting it in direct sunlight.
