Male and female??

Not really sure, but I think that I have 1 male and 1 female. Maybe you experienced folks can tell me for sure. I am going strictly by the spacing of the limbs.

I think that the one that has greater space between the limbs is male and the one that is more compact is the female.

Are these outdoors grown?
Assuming they are photo-period plants it is simply too early to tell.
They are not even sexually mature yet which is indicated by alternating nodes.

Give it a bit, they will show when they're ready.

BTW, welcome to RIU. :cool:

Yes they are outdoors. I admit that I got a late start starting my plants and they are just bagseed, nothing special since it's my first grow. I did get some white widow and AK47 seeds started. They just have their first leaves. None are autoflower. WW and AK47 are feminized. Lol now you know as much about them as I do, only you probably know waaaay more about all of them than I do!

Here's a picture of a WW....

WW is one of my favorite strains - I'm particular to Dutch Passion's seeds but that's just because I have grown them out many times.
What sort of daylight/night times are you experiencing now?
When you hit 12 hrs (light) & 12 (dark) is about when they typically start flowering. Since you got started a bit late you may be light on yield a bit but it's a learning curve we all have been through.

I don't see vermiculite in your soil - it is pretty important for drainage, if you re-pot use around 20-25% of the stuff - Cannabis does not like "wet feet"

Okay starting all over again from the beginning.

To answer your observations, I used sand to help with the drainage. The only perlite/vermiculite in my soil is what was in the Kellogg's organic soil. When in high school, I took a horticulture class. Way back then, the only time that we saw those two, were in "store bought" potting soil. Our horticulture teacher had us using sand in its place, so 40 years later that is what I did, all that I knew to do to get the desired results. Besides I can buy a 5 gallon bucket of sand for a dollar, waaaaaay cheaper than the other two.

Like I said I have restarted the grow since chickens ate my last plants. At least I think that it was the chickens. I have some wire cages to stop whatever it was this go round. I also have to use the fence wire cages to protect my tomatoes. I IMMEDIATELY restarted my seeds after the last ones went missing. It could have been a deer, as I saw a doe the other day when I checked on them. If you see something white on the plants, it isn't mold. I put on some diatomaceous earth to get rid of the bugs that were on my plants. Insects disappeared after I used the DE.

Anyway here are the ladies...
The last one started showing deformed leaves, so I threw a handful of composted horse manure on top of the soil and watered through it. The next set of leaves came out looking alright.
