Male or Female? What's goin on with my G-1?

My plant is approximately 6 weeks old and for the past week it has been quite droopy. I am wondering if the problem is from early flowering of the plant. In every node area there are smaller branches starting to grow out under the main leaves. It appears to be developing white hairs and I can't see any sign of seed cuplets. It is only 9 inches tall and been through some major changes in the past month. 3 transplants and new soil due to overwatering. I didn't expect this plant to last, but it hasn't died and continues to grow at a very slow rate.

Is it too early to tell the sex of this plant? I attached pictures below.
Can anyone help or give some advice?

White hairs = female, I dont see any on your plant. I don't see any balls either, too soon to tell, come back in 2 weeks.

Looks like over watering or not enough. Water when it due and will find out real quick.

I watered yesterday with a 12-6-4 mixture of nutrients, but plant has not perked up at all. It has been this way for about a week now. It just won't perk back up. Maybe it's stressed to the max?

point the fan at the top of the plant not the light.
sounds like your not to sure on your watering? if that plant hasn`t been watered in a while and is dry feel how light it is. now take your ph`d water and feed about a cup at a time till it soaks in. keep doing this till you get some run off coming out the bottom. now let it dry up. keep feeling the weight of the pot and when it is almost at that same weight as before then it`s time to water.
have you fed any nutes?

Over waterd then would be my guess.

are you flowering or veging

Flowering. I have two different ranges of light. 6500 K and 3000 K * 6. Total Lumen count with all lights on is around 18,000 tested with a light meter. Lights are about 10 to 12 inches from the plants. Having trouble keeping temps down and humidity up. I have yet to install two exhaust fans and a CO2 Generator.

Does anyone know why G-1 grows so short and compact? I have been told that it is a slow grower with a relatively high THC count. 15 - 18%.

The droopiness you speak of is from over watering (duno if that's been said yet, didn't read ) ... And this is what pre-flowers look like:

Picture 1: Female
Picture 2: Male

I think I am about a week away from finding that out. I will continue to post pictures. Do I have too much light? I am using 6 cfls at 3000 K and 1640 lumens per bulb. I have been using that light for the beginning of the flowering stage. I also have a 105 Watt CFL rated at 6500K, Full Spectrum - approx. 8000 lumens. The grow space is rather small, 2' x 3' x 2.5' (w . h . d). Heat is a problem, temps average around 87 to 88 degrees and humidity average around 40%. I have one fan on the inside and one blowing air through the front door. Running an 18 - 6 light schedule. Should I be at 20 + Hours of light on still?

This is only my second time growing.

If you're on 18/6, you're not on flowering schedule (12/12)
Personally, I'd leave the plant to veg, the cycle you're on now - might help give it time to 'perk' up, though - the green in the leaves is nice, and the droopiness of the leaves might be a phenotype of the strain. Just throwing that out there.

Also, it's good that you're using a 2:1:1 ratio N:K - this will help your chances of growing a girl - at the same time, it's so small that you might not want to bombard it with nutes - maybe a little food, but plenty of light and moving air.

Peace. D.D.

what?.........a pheno that causes a plant to droop.? no such thing bub.
n/p/k has nothing to do with getting a female iether, the only accurate advice you gave was to wait to do 12/12.


you need to deal with the issue before you go to flower or it may hermie from the stress.

what????.......a pheno that causes droop, thats a good one.lol
also nutes dont make female. the only accurate advice was to wait till the problem is fixed so it wont have a chance of hermie.
oops dont know what happened there, doubl post?
oh well. what do have for an exhaust fan to replace the air

I have 2 Flat Whisper Exhaust 4" Fans and a single Round Intake 6" fan. I just bought them yesterday and have yet to install them. Once they are installed I will post more pics of the grow space itself. I have given this plant very few nutes at all. The Ocean Mix Soil says it has nutes in the soil and it is not necessary to give it more for a month. I just recently retransplanted this plant because of severe overwatering the first time. It was laying down in the soil and it was extremely moist the first time. Now it is in much drier soil and starting to make a good recovery, however it must be extremely stressed due to these changes. I used Root Master B-1 for the transplanting process to reduce the shock. Will this plant ever perk back up?

I water only twice a week now with 2 cups of 6.2 pH tested water. Air circulation with the fans I have now is 24/7. How long do I wait to switch the cycle to 12/12? A few more weeks? It just seems extremely small and I am about ready to start over.

at least wait till the stress has gone and it perks up. i like my ph between 6.3 and 6.8. nutes are more avaliable in that range. let it dry up between waterings till it is almost bone dry, they like it better on the dry side

I do not see any balls indicating it is a male. I do not see any female white pistils as well to suggest it is a female. Have you switched the photoperiod to 12/12? That is how you determine sex in a two - three window.

Thanks for all the help bonz. Hopefully I can save this one. I could swear that if I could get a closer shot there are some little hairs coming out of the stems, but maybe its the development of leaves in the early stages. I really can't tell cause its pretty small right now. I watered yesterday with 2 cups of water and now I am gonna let it stand for about 5 to 6 days then see where it is at.

Haven't switched the light cycle and I didn't plan to till this one starts to perk back up a little. Should I be switching the light cycle with the plant being only about 9 inches tall and only on its 7th node? It's a little over 6 weeks old.

imo let it veg longer if oyu have the grow space, dont worry about telling sex till your 12/12

leave it till it perks up18/6 for now. while it dries also watch the leaves when they point up to the light it`s happy. water the day befor they start to droop and you should be ok.
