Hi there,
Am new to the site, so thanks for all the info which has been very useful.
I have been growing my first plant for about 6/7 weeks now (see pic) in a pot in my garden just outside Bangkok. The weather is pretty cool for this time of year, but I would imagine that it's till about a 12/12 ratio of darkness to sunlight.
As this is my first plant, I am a bit worried that I'll make a mess of it and am wondering if (a) what I've been doing so far is correct, and (b) what I should do to make sure it is ready for harvest.
Right now, it's in a pot with compost. Originally, I had three plants sprout from an initial 10 seeds, but the others died at different stages probably because the pot was too small to accommodate them all. The pot is 9 inches in diameter, and the plant has now reached a height of 19 inches from the top of the soil to the tip of the stem at its highest point.
I water it about every 2 days, and beyond that don't really do anything else other than having put a thin stake up the spine of the plant to keep it steady when a wind blows in.
I want to know how I can tell if it's a female or male, and when that might be? Also, can the male be smoked like the female or is that usually a crap smoke? And is there anything that I should've done but haven't? I heard that 90 days is a typical time when the plant can be harvested - is that true?
Any suggestions would be grateful at this stage, as I'm not exactly Mr. Johnny Greenfingers or the most adept horticulturalist in the world, merely a Ph.D Writing student and lecturer here in Thailand.
All the best
