My Hempy plants planted into Hempy 1 gallon Milk Jugs have hit the res and I must say they are growing...I am pleased.
I have a few questions, Since these are bag seed of unknown origin, how do I know how big they will get?
Now can I put them into flower? I'm thinking this weekend, I want to test the timers again before making the switch. I topped them again tonight and they are just alive with growth.
I need to try and sex them, because I have a lot of female seeds.
whocares100,
When to flip is always a question for the unknown. Do you have any pics of the leaves? You can tell if a plant is leaning more sativa vs indica. I can say this, if you plan on growing for an extended period of time, I would recommend the following:
- Prepare a mom.
- Top your plant when it grows it's 5th node and top down to the second so the 2 internodes spawn off and create 2 uniform nodes.
- By the 6th-7th week of veg your plant should start showing sex. If it starts showing a little nub by the leaf, it's most likely a male. Male's also tend to grow taller and faster than females. Otherwise you'll see a little hair popping out if it's a female.
- You can clone the top that you took off the plant to determine it's sex.
- You can also run this clone in flower to gauge how tall it's going to be. Keep a cut around (a mother) in the event the plant has a phenotype you are looking for. (Heavy yield, super potent, amazing flavor, etc)
This will allow you to keep stock of unknown/known plants to grow out. Label the moms (if you have a lot) so you remember which ones grow to what heights. Growing is highly addictive and extremely fun / rewarding, plus its FAR easier growing from clone than seed anyways. You know what to expect when the plant fills out.
Hope this helps and happy growing!
