I let them have 8 hours sleep for the first time today as i thought they were looking like they would appreciate a rest.
They are still not quite ready to meet my japanese steel and be fimmed
I am hoping at the moment that its possible to say(hopefully)that because as you can see some of these plants have obvious female trics (unpotent) already and some do not that it
may even be possible for me to say that i can tell the females from the males already.
This will remain to be seen though and later on i am going to mark each pot as to what i think it is based purely on the amount of fake/immature tric looking spots that i can see on the leaves.
If i have accidentally created a strain that you can tell males from females at such an early stage that would be cool.
I am going to base my theory on the fact that when i zoom in on them the plants that have much higher concentrations of tric/hair sites are going to be females and the ones that have the least will be males.
May not be at all but i am going to try to predict it on this basis and see what happens.
Some distortion is already apparent on some of the plants and i think some of them may already grow 2 or more tops because of the hps being to low when they were very young and the fact that they were in a propagator and that it dripped on them whilst the light was on to near the tops.
Anyway a couple more days till i can fimm them and next time i will try to buy a mh for veg but for now i am skint so hps will have to do.
Any thoughts or comments on the male/female prediction and why my ideas may or may not work is appreciated.
I also have realized that i may have come across to arrogantly in the past and that i think i am the master grower or something.
I don't actually think that but i have got set in my old hippie ways.
I am happy to hear advice,tips and constructive comments of any kind negative or positive.
