My first grow omg

Got my new grow light in today.

Ìt works great, lt pegged my light meter to 2000 at 24" away from my plants . Not bad for an $80 light

You’re doing great, but I wanted to point out that meter isn’t an accurate measure. It’s not lumens w LED. It’s micromols. I thought a cheap light reader would work that had PAR readings, I was mistaken. I had to buy a PAR micromol meter. I decided to go w the cheapest one, since most are 200+ and it works well. As you gain more experience, it will help to know you’re light reading to get maximum penetration and intensity down in your canopy to get the density members are referring to

Those are going to be pretty huge it looks like! When do you plan to flip them? Be aware that they will experience a growth spurt when you go 12/12, you don’t want them to hit the ceiling! :stuck_out_tongue:

3rd closeup picture, this one node looks like it’s forming a male pollen sac. I’m not saying for sure it’s a boy, just keep an eye on whatever plant and node that was, if you can find it again.

I’ve had this same thing happen with photos in 1 gallon pots. Around day 25-ish, the males started showing sex. I panicked and thought for some reason that Ancestral Skunk was autoflowering, or the seeds from it that I was growing then, so I asked around. The concensus seemed to be that when a photoperiod gets root bound, they will go into flower, especially the males. Not always, but it does happen.

Yeah pic one looks girly, I agree with Banquo that one looks iffy and needs to be watched, shouldn’t be too much longer before they produce pistil if they are girls then you will know for sure :+1:
