Information Based On Leaf Formation

[Seniorweeder]

My babies are at 7 weeks of Veg and as of last night I flipped to 12/12 lighting. I am VERY happy so far with my 1st grow. I have 5 plants so far and still not sure which are females yet. Out of all 5 only one has all fan leaves at the top with 9 blades, all my others max out at 7 blades. The other plants I know the strain of, but this 9 leaf plant was an unknown seed. It is very dark in color which u may not see in the pic, and has very sharp looking serrations on the leaves, does this give any idea what it may be, i.e. Indica, sativa, strength, cud, etc! Thanks in advance for your time!

Great looking plants. :·0!

looks like one of any of a 1000 different hybrids... its not pure Indica nor Sativa.

Ah...I kinda love the mystery!

Will know better once its in flower, if its indica or sativa dom.

Thanks my Homey!

Thanks "Lime" but not sure Im knowledgeable enough to determine that!

Post pics during flower and we will see if its indica or sat dom. But really It doesn't matter , as its just a weed lol.

I determine ripeness by trichome development, not weeks of flowering. Most plants finish at different times. I treat em all as different plants anyways...Which Helps when you grow mystery plants or multiple strains.

If I saw that in my seedlings, I would call it an indica dom hybrid based on leaf blade width and node spacing.

The high could be something else.

I could be wrong.

Thanks "Lime" friend, I will definitely be posting pix as I need all the help I can muster!

I agree with @Patient Puffer looks more indica dom so far.

Thanks "Patient",, I will be doing updates when I see some definite flowers starting, dang this fun stuff for this ole boy!

 

[Seniorweeder]

BTW how long does it take for flowers to start showing after U switch to 12/12? I am VERY excited with all this!

 

[Pat Puffer]

That depends on genetics and maybe light intensity and to some degree maybe temps?

I have seen people see pistils as early as a week and i have seen others go in to the 2 week area. My experience is all over the board but within that window.

 

[Seniorweeder]

Good stuff thanks , I hadn't thought of light intensity, right now my 600 watt LEDs are 22" above the canopy, should I lower and how much if so? The manufacturer recommends 18 above actual flowers!

 

[Pat Puffer]

I have seen light intensity affect my grow either positively or negatively.

 

[Seniorweeder]

Btw, after I know which plants are female and remove the others for more room, is it ok to try some moderate LST after the budding starts? Im dying to see how that results!

 

[Pat Puffer]

LST during flowering will slow down maturity. Outdoors it's a major concern due to the fact we are needing the plants down before rain comes. If you're slowed down indoors, you wait longer.

Some LST needs to happen in flower to keep colas away from the lights. So it is not unusual during flower.
