    Hood420 it will be a fine in the shade. You just don't want it in the dark or you will force it to start flowering. I have a couple plants in my window that only get about 4 hours a day of direct sunlight and they're doing fine. When the daylight time start getting short that's when you need to start worrying. I sent you a message on ways to find out what sex it is sooner than later. Not sure if you got my message?

      Hood420 if it's a photo it needs long sunlight hrs 6hrs in sun. I have to water 1x day with mine i'm in Oregon mine are showing pre flower now but mine are 3-4 months old maybe more?? No it won't be ok for 2wks without sunshine it will weakin the branches without light. Guess what shorter days are coming real soon. Where ever you are check your farmers almanac times google it. You want to sex it put it in the dark for several days real dark may take longer to show. Then it will try an flower or grow balls.

        SoOrbudgal Hi Neighbor I'm right up the way from you. I'm in Washington. These two have been in my windowsill from their start because I was out of room in my veg tent. When I finally got room just never took them from the window sill . 4 hours of direct sunlight a day from about 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Then the Sun goes behind the house. Hood420 put it in the dark let it show its sex and if it is a female and you're not ready for it to flower then you can reveg it but it's an ugly process. Or you can take a clone from it put it on a 12-12 light cycle and it will show the sex within a week. Just my two cents. Good luck happy growing

          This will also set them 4 weeks behind, 2 weeks to flower and 2 more to reveg.

          Just keep an eye on it. If it looks like it's not doing well then you have to adjust. Like I said before mine get four hours direct sunlight but they at least get 4 hours. Also I do feed a little heavy since they don't get a lot of sun. The two girls on the windowsill will be going in the flower tent and the next two to three weeks. If I keep anymore on the windowsill I will have to put a light next to them because I don't want them to go into flower. I will probably keep a light on 24/7 just to keep them in veg. I run a continuous grow so I have different sized plants everywhere. LOL also agreed that the less Sun it gets the less healthy it will be. Agreed on the Farmer's Almanac if you're going to be growing outside. Right now where I'm at I've got 15 hours and some change of daylight every day. And losing I think a minute and 40 seconds every day? You have to be careful on your light cycle because you don't want to stress out your plant too much. The more stressed the longer it's going to take for it to recoup. Sorry it's still not showing its sex. Take a cutting off of it put it in a glass of water stick it underneath the light for 12 hours on 12 hours Pitch Black. Within the week you'll if it's male or female. Wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted. That's how we all learn.

                The big leaves are called fan leaves. Sugar leaves make their appearance after you are in bloom and are called that because they have white sparkly looking trichomes. When you trim after harvest you throw away the fans and keep the sugar leaves to make edibles and the like. They are much smaller, usually just a single finger sticking out of your bud, although sometimes you see tiny three finger leaves.

                With regards to sex, it is difficult to tell until the plant starts to bloom. There is an article on GWE that talks about it, I would suggest you give that a read to start. You could also search the forum as there is a metric ton of questions on the subject. Not sure if you mentioned where you got your seeds but if they are feminized there is very little chance they could be males (not impossible but very low chance). If a feminized seed starts to get male traits it is more likely a hermaphrodite than a true male, but unless your seeds are from an unstable genetic line that usually just happens when the plant is stressed.

                It actually doesn’t look too bad, although a little bit more spindly than I would have thought. Is it a sativa? What type of light does it get? Grow light/window light/taken outside daily? If you are relying on light from a window that might explain it. There usually isn’t intense enough light that way to get any sort of harvest. I am a bit surprised Larry1’s plants look as good as they do from window lighting.

                No that plant won't tolerate any leaf removel in my opinion. At 9wks only thing would be to top it, count from bottom first leaf branch up to the 4 nodes branch and remove the top portion. It's going to take a long time without strong lighting to have anything come off of that plant. Please educate yourself with the basics on this site it tells you everything simply and it's made for new growers. We take growing weed seriously here most older growers do, were happy to help but certain standards you can't fudge on.

                Agree with bud gal - the only reason to remove foliage, aside from topping, is to increase airflow and light within your plants. In your case you don’t have a bushy plant, it is pretty sparse. You would want more foliage rather than less.

                I find that the leaves on the main stems, where the branches grow in the point where it connects (growth node), help bootstrap the early growth of that branch. I usually keep those leaves even when my plant is bushy. I will strip off the ones towards the bottom only after the plant is growing strong and only to allow a space at the bottom for air flow. If they are not blocking air flow and not in danger of dragging on the ground and getting wet when I water the plant then I often leave them. The tutorials tell you, when mainlining, to clear all foliage below a certain point when you top the plant but I think it is better to leave it on for a while to help with the shock of topping the plant.

                One has to remember these big leaves feed the plant and store nutes for future use (when the leaves yellow they are being eaten).
                Inside I trim for light, outside I trim for air flow (no leave may touch another).
