lol, you guys crack me up !!

Always shy, those ladies.. how true that is :) Rushed home after work to take a peak at the plants and see if the sex developed more on TH.. not much.. something is DEFINATLY happening, just dunno what yet.. Hopefully I"ll have a better idea in the morning tomorrow.. one thing I did notice was that TH put on almost another inch during the day today.. That's something I enjoy getting to see growth still.. Its clear how much certain "spots" inside my box make a difference in growth.. like now that TH is in the "prime spot" shes doing better than HK.. which leads me to believe I need to work on my reflectivity for my next grow !! ok note made in notebook about it !! lol

I really hope you guys are right.. I'm also a bit worried about HK.. those balls be getting bigger and not to mention they're starting to come out in full force.. army reserves and all.. lots more balls each time I look.. I think if I can wait it out and be safe, I'll have to chop him down friday afternoon when I get home from work..If not possibly even tomorrow night after work.. Its a real shame too cause man does that dude smell GREAT !! lol.. TH is starting to put out a nice stink of her own.. I'm really liking how they're both turning out.. lets just hope I get 1 chickita !!

Ok... one more sujjestion... only cuz HK is such a stud lol... I still think you should cross them.... so...

If I were you I would pinch all those balls off.. except for a small group... cover those with a plastic baggy and rubber band (in case they open)

Right before chopping him down... keep those balls and put them in a paper envelope and keep it in the fridge. When TH is in the middle of budding.... get out those balls... open them up to get the pollen out and take a wet q-tip.. dip the q-tip in the powder and find a bud sight on HK... smear the powder on just that bud and mark it with string... When it comes to harvest... you well get smokable bud... and seeds =]

According the those 2 it works quite well.. I'll be chopping my male down in a day or two after I collect a few balls for potential strain creation... anyway once hes dried out I'm going to do a step by step of a DIY butane extraction.. instead of paying like $50 - $100 for a "professional grade" metal extractor.. I managed to find a flashlight that's the PERFECT replacement vessel and it cost me a whopping buck fifty, I posted a few pics of it a page or three ago... anyway look for that in the coming week or two !!

Ok, so Wolfman this response is particularly for you but also to anyone with "the knowledge" lol.. The balls are growing to fast and too many new ones to keep up with on a daily basis.. I believe I'm going to set a deadline of around 1 or 2pm EST this afternoon to finally... cut HK down... The reason I'm waiting till then and instead of now is JUST incase the pollen sacks need a tiny bit more time to develop.. I'm almost positive that if I grab the 4 - 5 biggest balls that atleast the combination of all of them should be enough to get one bud worth of seeds for my new cross....

If this little experiment works out and I get over 20 seeds... I will be using probably the first 5 as a little "prize" for a R.C.C contest I'm trying to work out the details for !!!

However this is all dependant on my potential "breeding" skills.. I'm not sure as to when exactly male plants begin to produce pollen.. but I'm guessing that's early on as opposed to releaseing pollen which happens at a later time...

As for an update, I've reallllly tweaked my neck the other day and can't ven really turn left or right.. so I promise you guys I'll do my daily update this morning.. just not for a few hrs, I've got to try and lay down and fix this.. I'm dieing here.. and I'm outta "medication" so I can't smoke myself better like usual...

Anyway a quick observaation of my plants this morning shows that TH has grown yet ANOTHER inch overnight and I'm going to have to raise my lights another time..

Pics and more words to come...

Anytime buddy :)

I'm just in the process of turning a cardboard box into my dryer.. Do you guys think a fan is nessecary if the room its going in has a perfect temp and RH% ??

I think I'm going to give it a shot after I cut down HK and if I notice RH or temp getting out of hand I can always toss a pc fan or two into the box... i'll put up pictures in the same update as my plants in an hr or two :)

Thanks D,

Thank you, I'll add a pc fan to the box and use that for air flow.. I have a extra 120mm fan... just have to find a adapter to splice it too !!
