I just took this plant from my freinds house after i saw he was only using a 40 watt flouresent.. Ive had it now for about 2 weeks and its seems to be coming to life now night by night. its under a 400w/metal halide light until i swich it to the 400w/hps light. I was getting scared that the plant went threw tto much shock swiching lights over and while moving it from his house to mine.... i watered it yesterday and i am using plant food 10-15-15 and fish emulsion 5-1-1... i have it on a timer set for 18 hours ligh and 6 dark.. and should i already be able to tell the sex.I would just like a few sugggestions this being my first ime growing thanks for the help,,..

lookin good. i can't get the pics to load bigger but generally looks decent...

naw you won't be able to tell the sex until a little bit into flower. also realize she (hopefully) should get at least twice as big when you flower her, so be prepared for that

Didn't you already post this? Anyway it depends on the strain some will show preflowers during veg and some wont, put it in 12/12 and you will be able to tell in about 10 days.

To sex your plant, you'll have to put it in 12/12 lighting. You can do this under the MH light, but go ahead and flower it now. Change your nutes to more P and K, reduce the N. and switch to the HPS lights. It's big enough to flower now. Looks pretty good. The purpleing of the upper branches indicates stress, It should be in about a 3 gallon pot at a minimum.

could the stress be from a fan i have blowing on it,,,, ive noticed the stem thickien up since i put the fan on but maybe it is causing the stress.i also thought that it turned purple cause i had to drive it to my house without any heat. Watis the best possible nutes i can get for were my plants are?

Purple stems do not indicate stress, it is most likely from a phosphorus deficiency, but can be totaly normal depending on the strain.

the fan is supposed to thicken stem strength and also creates a nice flow of air. if the plant were outside like nature intended there would be breezes... a gently breeze is good. i dont like stagnent air.
