Hello There.

First branches are starting to hit the screen. I wish I would have flipped to 12/12 a little bit earlier, but it is what it is, I have a feeling with stretch I am going to be pushing it with the size screen I have. Anyways enjoy your day all.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hello There All.

Quick Update to let you know I kicked them into......
YES!!!!! T-Minus 10 weeks and counting.......


:mrgreen: FLOWER!!! :mrgreen:


always exciting, but still have not indicated sex.... here are all possible outcomes.....
::OPTIONS::
1) both males = collect and store pollen in freezer
2) one male one female = F2 batch
3)both females = free weed

hoping for #2 but whatever happens, happens.
Thanks for stoppin in,
CL

Great attitude, regardless of what happens we make the best of it. But selfishly I want to see at least one female, with those tight nodes the flowers are going to be fat regardless of being seeded or not. Phenomenal growing Chroniclogical!!

Everything appears great dude, and nice genetics.Those plants look like they've been growing vigorously during vegging. A trick of the trade for next time, take a cutting from each plant and put that into a glass of water. Then, put those cuttings under a couple warm CFLs on a 10/14 light schedule. You don't have to root them or worry because you're going to toss the cuts once you determine sex. Should take 5-7 days, and your actual plants remain in the veg period the whole time.

Calyx,
first off, Thank You.

your really cool man. I honestly really appreciate the tip!

why is it that the greatest ideas are so deceivingly simple!? haha
I actually kinda worked in reverse on this run.... I flowered my seeds and kept a couple clones off each. ( iknow its better to go the other way but I don't have a lot of room for moms right now, I just have a small light to keep clones on.

::NEXT TIME::

Hello There.

:mrgreen: Update to show growth @ 1 weak-ish into 12/12. :mrgreen:

Stretch continues but these plants have not really had the explosive stretch I had hoped for... more bushy.. but it is ok, it is my error in not really knowing the strain that well..

Next run with this strain, may not have the scrog... it is nice to help keep a level canopy under the SS400
BUT i think that might be accomplished more successfully with a SOG type setup.
just a guess at this point and only time will tell, :D

The SS400 is a great light, you can see how the plants are responding so positively, the intensity of light is surprising. Happy to own this light.
Thanks
CL

They are looking very healthy. Though they didn't stretch much, they should have some fat flowers.

I have a good feeling about that possible female, hopefully you see some nice pistils. I was stoked with 5 out of the nine regular seedlings being female.

thats awesome! really great odds.
Im not really good at spotting a male plant till its really obvious to almost anyone. :D
at what stage of growth, clones, or amount of time do use to determine sex of plants in your garden?


but looked at some close up comparison pictures online...
now I'm 90% sure they are BOTH female! :o hilarious! haha.. seed noob over here.

I just wasn't looking close enough.. (iblametheSS400becauseitissobright) you really should probably be wearing protective shades...
Enjoy ur day all.
