Like I said, my vision is poor, so I could be wrong too. Definitely wouldn’t hurt to keep a close eye on her.

hello everyone. @Cannabian, @elheffe702 and @Dman1969. thanks for your input. first, @Cannabian, i owe you an apology. the picture i posted yesterday DOES show a ‘nub’, a banana looking thing, what @elheffe702 pointed out, a petiole . i had a friend stop by yesterday morning. recommended that i trim some broad leaves to open up the canopy below. i believe what you saw @Cannabian is that nub from the trimming process. secondly, after i trimmed the broad leaves, i used pipe cleaners to ‘tie-off’ the main branches so more light is exposed to them (LST method)? again, i’m a novice at this and i know i’m not using the correct terminology. @Bulldognuts, you’re photos of the LST method are invaluable to me. thanks for posting those. i referred to those pictures several times.

these are the broad leaves i cut off

this is the ‘petiole’ view of the trimmed branch/broad leaf

my LST method.

@elheffe702, a big ‘thank you’ to you for recognizing what @Cannabian was inquiring about. @Cannabian, thank you for all of your comments. they’re very helpful. actually, you were spot on about that ‘nub’, i didn’t provide enough information when i posted yesterday. again, so sorry about that. @Dman1969, thank you for the confirmation on the sex of the plant. and I do need prayers, lol. @monkman, i know you’re out there. hope the healing is coming along well. DON’T skip the physical therapy, if that’s part of the recommended healing process. wishing you well my friend.

You should consider moving the fan so it’s not blowing directly on the plant. Maybe point it at the wall of the tent, away from the plant, and let the air being drawn into the fan be pulled across the plant(s). You want the leaves to just flutter. Too much airflow across the leaves will cause the stomata to close and they won’t be able to transpire properly. I’m glad it was not male parts. Good to have a close, critical eye like that though. When they do pop up with male sacs, they can mature and open fast from what I’ve seen. :+1:

any suggestions or comments about the above pics?

She looks good. It would help to see her in natural light, or just with camera flash.

How long ago did you flip lights.

@Bulldognuts, thats a good question… i was 24/7 on the lights, then i went to 18 and 6. that was about two weeks ago?

i realize now, that the 24/7 might have been a mistake. my reasoning for 24/7 was: it’s an autoflower, so the baby gonna pop when it wants. as @nobo77 mentioned two weeks ago, lift up her skirt and look under, which i did. thats when i went to 18/6

i’ve been giving the girl small doses of maxibloom. i have not given her any kalmag. maybe i need to introduce that to her?

Cal-mag wouldn’t hurt. You definitely don’t want to get hit with deficiency at this point.

Was looking at pictures again and noticed this, not sure but maybe start of deficiency. Good example of why pics in natural light is a good thing.
