Hey first time flowering and light cycle changes tommarow. Her sex was determined at day 27 now shes about day 32 and getting white hairs at most of her nodes so its time to flower. Shes only about 9 inches tall and a diameter of around 11 inches, growing cfl and dont want a big plant because of space issues. So what you guys think i am using botanic pro bloom i will start at next watering. Also what is this about molllasis? When would I add mollasis and any other tricks and tips? Heres a picture of her right now below...

I would say it looks good for a first timer. When you flower it, it will indeed stretch a little but I think there's a bunch of factors that actually go into how much a plant will stretch before starting to actually form buds.

If it's 9 inches tall now, plan for it to reach a height of maybe 27" or more. It probably won't get that tall but there's always the chance of it.

What strain is this if you don't mind me asking?

As for molasses, I have been using it since I started growing. Some people think it doesn't do jack squat, I would beg to differ but of course I don't have solid proof that it works via pictures, since I don't take many pictures of my stuff. I always wait until the 3rd or 4th week of flowering, and since my schedule goes nutes Monday and Friday, I try to throw in the molasses feeding on the Wednesday for those 2 weeks. It always seems that after I give it that molasses within a few days you can noticeably tell that the buds are swelling up.

This plant is good bag seed...no idea what strain but shes been growing big, green and fast and also the clones are straitening up so now ive got 2 more clone babies on the way. So what kind of feeding schedule should I do, give it bloom nutes every watering (I water every 4 days or so) and when for the molasses?

looks good!

molasses is mostly beneficial in an organic grow where a microherd is present in the soil to break down the molasses. I doubt that roots are able to absorb disaccharides or other complex molecules all on their own.

i'm praying for you man. Hopefully all female fat sluts. I grow many strains and gave up trying to determine the sex of the plant by preflowers. I ended up trusting the hairs too. took many clones and all were male. I did get some clones off of some females too but didn't label them so had to flower them all and found out where the males were. I was pissed because when i flowered them the males grew like your describing. Good luck man. it was hempstar that fooled me. here are the females
