thanks man. Yes, that's the one. She seems to get better with age....which is a funny thing to me. I think every clone in my garden that I have found gets better with time. As I get lazy/busy with life, and neglect them, they just keep getting better. I think age and maturity are a key factor in "clone only" plants.

@J_Blaze23 most plants take at least 2 months of veg to show sex in my experience. If they are fems or a clone, they will show pistils much earlier...clones right away, fem seeds in the first month. I try to treat my plants like most other living organisms. You wouldn't try to breed a puppy, why would you flower a seedling? that being said, I have had Regs that just wouldn't show sex even after 3 months veg, so I had to flower them to be sure. From personal experience, I can tell you the lowers on my kimbos will practically start to flower if they are not getting any light/crammed in with a bunch of other plants. Instead of hairs, you will see clusters of hairs that look like a plant that has been in the flower room for 2 weeks.....but only on the lowers in the dark. If this is what you are seeing defoliate, or strip the lowers. I have never had an issue, but confusion is never good with weed, unless it's from smoking it!

I had to defoliate a lot of the larger leaves on the kimbos just so the lowers can get light, the one is more bushy with straight purple stalk the other more stretch and green stalk, can't wait to see what they produce. That makes sense no flowering until they are over 2months

I've been letting them go to atleas 1/2in long or almost shedding the shell then transplant, noticed more success rate

you ever get paranoid when transplanting a 1/2" root tap into medium??

i feel better dropping the seeds into my medium when they first crack so it does its thing. but haven't noticed anything different as long as my ph is 5.5-5.8. oh and scuffing seeds help A LOT in breaking shell/surface. i think that's the game changer.

I had started seeds in a soil with aphids and didn't realize it til few days after they sprouted. I took them out of the soil with developed roots completely rinsed and drenched then replanted didn't lose any just stunted a bit. The tap root is pretty solid I just measure its length make a hole that deep set it in and cover with solid worm castings

Ok cool I was worried I would have to wait almost 2 months for them to re veg. It is nice having them show sex before going to flower and wasting the time, soil and space.

The Kimbos I'd bet are both female. That strain puts out so many girls it's not funny. Not sure if it's different with the F2s. Been hunting for a nice Kimbo male and can't find a male period. Crossed kimbo to alien rift... all the progeny are female lol.

How are they doing.

i think i jumped the gun removing the dome. out of the 4, one of them shriveled up. i transplanted the other 3 and they're doing well. i tried putting a shot glass over it to and create its own humidity dome but doesn't seem to be working.

Still developing first set of leaves. I'll post pics when they're at 3 or 4 leaves.
