They appear between the nodes. Look for whitish spears and it will occur there. I'll find you a picture if you want.

Question: where do the buds form?

I seen a ton of images but they are all just a mess of bud sites.

So does each branch have the ability to become a bud site? Plant health dictates how many buds actually form though? Or?

Then the buds start at the end of the branch or do they start by the nodes?

I used my usb tether camera on those shots and you can see the difference between male and female and if you read far enough you can see the beginning formation and trichomes at different stages.

Day 25

Temp 83
Humidity 50%
Watered last night w/ quarter gallon of pre mixed 80% Grow Big

There is one little nub looking thing coming out of the stem. It looks like a long thin leaf but it is whiteish instead of green.

She put on about a half an inch in vertical growth over night.

Day 26

Temp 83
Humidity 70% - just watered
Watered w/ half gallon of 100% strength Fox Farm Grow Big and 50% Big Bloom

Pruned the lower branches last night - the leaves where ugly, shriveled up, wrinkly, etc.

Q - Should I be pruning any of this smaller growth off to allow the growth to go to the branches?

I think sex is showing now and it looks like a spade - thats a female right? - this image is zoomed in. the red thing is a pipe cleaner.

The above image is a close up of this next image.

Here are some additional images showing that same nub thing.

Then the normal top/side views as well

That looks about where a calyx should be popping out!

 

[Erich]

I did some more LSTing and noticed a bunch of those calyx things.

One even had 2 hairs coming out of it.

So it is a female. Cool.

My only plan is to start the flowering nutes at 1/4 strength with the next watering which is 3 days from now - anything else I should do? Anything I should watch out for?

What about the light, do I bring it closer to plant or wait?
