The silicium booster is sprayed straight on the leaves, the instructions show that this needs to be done every 2 weeks. But im unsure if its 1 time every 2 weeks, or 1 entire week every day, followed by 1 week of not spraying. How is this with other brands?

Number 2 (small one)
Is this something to worry about? Lets call it my “problem Child” is starting to grow even more crooked:
The bigger one on the other hand looks very healthy, straight, perfect symmetry and grows very fast, everyday I’m amazed when I come home to see how much it grew

The smaller plant seems to be a male plant?? Can someone confirm by the looks of this picture:
Mark just confirmed (and So did Google), this is a full on male plant. No female signs at all.. what a shame of time invested :-(
All hopes go to the big plant now. That one is showing no signs of male or herma. I just hope the male plant did not do any “harm” yet to my good plant?
Some pics of the male plant:
Is there anything I can do with this plant or is it just time to kill it and throw it away?
Some pics of the female:

Yup, it's a male.
If you have the space... put the male in a separate area.
Maybe indoors, by a window, out of the wind.
Collect a little pollen and pollinate just one branch of the female.
Wham!
Got yourself 50-100 lovely Moby Dick seeds.
That'll save yourself ... a couple of hundred $$.
If you haven't done pollination before, it's pretty easy.
There is lots of info here at AFN and elsewhere online.
Lovely plants by the way!!!

What I did now is I started the 3th seed of the batch I bought, since this one is obviously not going to give me anything. I want to keep it safe on the 1 I still have so I don't want to start experimenting. but if I collect the pollen, could I use it on the one I'm now starting? I just want to make sure I have 1 good harvest at least...
Sure. Protect your sensi crop first.
Males are like females in that they flower for weeks.
If you keep him indoors, for example, just trim away larger flower clusters, and he'll keep putting out more.
You can also store pollen in the freezer to keep it viable. Just make sure it's just the pollen, not the pollen sacks, and that it's dry.
Then can thaw it out and dust your new plant in ... 4-5 weeks from now.
Though, dusting it on one lower branch only of the present lady would work.
Take it inside, out of the wind, use a q-tip or little paint brush to brush the pistils of the lower branch.
Then cover that branch with a plastic bag for a couple of days.
By then the pollen will be no longer viable, and so won't seed the rest of the plant.
May be a little tricky if you haven't done it before, and understand your situation.
If you're going down the pollination route, please do some reading online.
There's lots of good info, and like anything, best to be prepared, and do it well.
Day 36: I started giving the bloombooster today (1ml/l) in combination with 3ml/l basic nutrients
