New to this site and need help growing

Im new to this site and new to the growing field. i have atleast one plant growing right now and its going on its fifth set. i have atleast 4000 lumens on it. i dont know if thats enough and wondering how tall i should grow it to. i have it in a closet right now atm.

you can grow it as tall/short as you like. obviously the bigger the plant the more buds you'll get! Also how big is your closet? 4000 lumens is about right for 1 sqaure foot imo.

cool, but its not that tall for some reason. its probably around 4 or 5 inches and its going on the fourth week. I dont know what kind it is because its bagseed. But i have a 6 ft tall 4 ft wide closet.

Also thanks for helpin me out with some advice.

if you got room I'd let er ride for a while. However, you're gonna need more light in a space that big I think, that's the same dimensions as my grow tent, and I run a 600W & 8-48" t5HO in there with about 110,000 lumens

thank you, also when can i tell the sex of it. i have it on a 24 hour lighting schedule for right now. But do i have to wait for the flowering stage (12-12) to be able to tell the sex? i just want to be able to make some bagseed into some alright stuff.

pre-flowers will show if vegged long enough, otherwise it should happen a week or two into the 12 12 cycle....and I've grown some nice bagseed, so there aint nothing wrong with trying some out. and it's a lot cheaper than paying for beans to!

Does a male have greenish type hairs coming out of the nodes? Because if thats the case i have 2 other ones going but those are seedlings.

True that! Ive gotten all mine that way, trying to save up to get some good ones though.

I'd think that those geenish hairs coming out are just new growth. Females will show a white hair, and males will obviously show some nuts. throw a pic up if you want and I'm sure someone here will know

I dont have a camera atm, but thank you ive been worrying. I know it varies strain to strain but typically how long would it take for a plant to start showing its sex?

I'm not sure really. If they've been growing for less than 6 weeks I'd say that they won't have shown sex yet. google female MJ pre-flower and you'll see if it looks the same

found this, it should help
