Your light seems a bit far away from your plants. What about the extra stem they build up trying to react the light?
I Googled it, it seems to be cool, and I like your results. I'm going to see if I can get myself some. Thanks.
Do you have any suggestions for pruning?

The light is not too far away from the plants... My propagation flouro puts off heat and light which is what seedlings need... That's all they need....And 100% humidity... I don't prune until way into vegging and flowering...

Here is a few pics of my babies... The first pictures are labelled in the photos but the rest are of the seeds that I've bred...;-)

Now because this is the first time I have cross bread this strain, I'm not going to get a White Widow cross White Rhino:sad:, I'm either going to get one or the other... They don't start to mix genetics till much later down the breeding tree... I don't plan to become a breeder, so hopefully I'll get a nice widow... I don't have the time to build a strain from F1 to F7....:-( And really I don't want males anywhere near my house...:lol:

The babies are coming along really nicely. They are really enjoying the 400 MH, and I am still hand watering about 4 times a day... Full nutes now...
:bigjoint:
When should I sex these babies people??? A little advice would be great... How big should they be before I turn them down....????:dunce:

Thanks in advance Laceygirl...:lol:

Lacey, I think you are confused. A f1 of WW, WR should be 50/50 of each parent. Its when you inbreed the offspring things start to really diverge. Granted, some strains will dominate the breeding partner, so you may not get the best qualities of both you are looking for.

It looks like some of your plants have been nute burned. Id back the nutes off to 25-50% until bigger.

Also, just let them grow until they show preflowers. Your plants are way too small to bother flowering/sexing at this point.

Thanks Dave, I was hoping you'd check in...;-) Shall make the necessary adjustments, but I believe the nute burn is from me spilling nute water on the plants... But I will back off if you think I need to... I shall wait before I start to sex, thanks for answering my question, will wait for the pre flowers...

Now about cross breeding, my research on the subject subsequently lead me to this conclusion....:lol:

If we make a cross with one parent from each of the true-breeding strains, we will find that 100% of the off spring are of the compound-pinnate leaf phenotype. (The expression of a trait in a plant or strain is known as the phenotype.) What happened to the genes for webbed leaves contained in the webbed leaf parent? Since we know that there were just as many w genes as W genes combined in the offspring, the W gene must mask the expression of the w gene. We term the W gene the dominant gene and say that the trait of compound-pinnate leaves is dominant over the recessive trait of webbed leaves. This seems logical since the normal phenotype in Cannabis has compound-pinnate leaves. It must be remembered, however, that many useful traits that breed true are recessive. The true-breeding dominant or recessive condition, WW or ww, is termed the homozygous condition; the segregating hybrid condition wW or Ww is called heterozygous. When we cross two of the F1 (first filial generation) offspring resulting from the initial cross of the ~1 (parental generation) we observe two types of offspring. The F2 generation shows a ratio of approximately 3:1, three compound pinnate type-to-one webbed type. It should be remembered that phenotype ratios are theoretical. The real results may vary from the expected ratios, especially in small samples. Mine is a very small sample...

In this case, compound-pinnate leaf is dominant over webbed leaf, so whenever the genes w and W are combined, the dominant trait W will be expressed in the phenotype. In the F2 generation only 25% of the offspring are homozygous for W so only 25% are fixed for W. The w trait is only expressed in the F2 generation and only when two w genes are combined to form a double-recessive, fixing the recessive trait in 25% of the offspring. If compound-pinnate showed incomplete dominance over webbed, the genotypes in this example would remain the same, but the phenotypes in the F1 generation would all be intermediate types resembling both parents and the F2 phenotype ratio would be 1 compound-pinnate :2 intermediate :1 webbed.

I know there's a lot of jargon, but its good theory... I have a lot of reading to do....And about 2 years of my life to spare apparently...;-)

Thank you Dave, you are always welcome here... Laceygirl.....

I would definitely back off on the nutes some. Almost all of your plants are showing burned tips. Dont forget less is more. Its easy to give more nutes if necessary, but you only shoot yourself in the foot when you over do it.

SIRE, pm me with your question.

That's right, I need to remember that the company wants to sell more nutrient so they are going to recommend that more is better.. Thanks Dave, I get a little overzealous with the nutes....;-)

I love a country twang :-P... Its the equivalent to "broad Australian".... lol... A lot of people can't understand us, we do speak quickly and with a drawl...lol...:-P

I'm very country... Born and bred, Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi...

Nice to know I know a southerner...

This is just a quick vid of my mother tent.. I think vids are much better than photos...

Will vid the big tent in a few more days.... Want to be able to see a definate difference...
