Good mornig all. Freshly packed bowl of some Woody Herelson gonna get lit up here. "wake and Bake"
Hey got a quick question. Reaserched this forum and another,kinda got the ansewer (don't do it)but just wanted to check. I've done this before with no problems and culled out the males. The boy brought home some seeds from the collective and they told him they are feminized, the other day in there he was told some of the seeds from other patients had some males. Question is to myself. Fem or not ? I know even in Femmed seeds you can get a male but I'm thinking these might not be femmed seeds
Question to you guys is about pre sexing seedlings.
Years ago on my first grows and it wasn't many we use to pre sex the crop(seedlings) when they were 10" or so by putting them in the dark for a week and putting them back on 18/6 and they would show sex in a couple of days after that if they didn't all ready show sex coming out of the dark. I just can't remember if it was a week of darkness. The only info I could get was 36hrs to help jump start going to 12/12.
I know the reprecautions of doing this is loseing some time and a slim chance of morphing but it is a chance I would take . I read about taking cuttings off to sex but it seems like that would take at least as much time or more and you would still be occuring growth on the plants you are trying to sex and taking up space and time. Besides my clonning skills are not to great at this point in time.
So is a week of darkness too long or wood it be more like 36-72hrs of darkness and back to 18/6.
A over view:
On a over view everything seems to be in slow motion. Our clones( from a collective) went outside to early coupled with cool weather are just know revegged(they lightly preflowered). They are like 4 months old and not very big.(2-3ft). I have one outside that has been a 2" pre flowered bud that has been that big for 4 months. She might have to go so there is new vigor around and so we stay within plant limits at flowering. We will have a couple of extras from the GR to put outside I hope.
Inside the closet !
Our 3 oldest clones are finally taking good root. The 4 seedlings are kicking ass ! and are right behind the oldest clones in height. Our 4 newest clones rooted in the glass of water technique are 3 weeks old and look to be rooting but really look like dog piss ! The recovery time takes us awhile.
I turned on the big light and man it got hot quick! was all ready at 78*-80* and jumped right to below 90*. Needless to say we have some new toys on the way via Fed Ex. A vented hood and 6" scrubber. some type of cooling will be next. Running on the 250 watt setting right now.
Man it just feels like everthing is taking a long time to get in full swing here.
You guys have a great Sunday ! The Woody Herelsen made all this typing extra hard to type. I'm off to the Home Depot for some perlite and to snoop around for whatever.
I've been reading the piss out of the RIU forums and want to thank everbody for all the vast knowledge. One thing I must say is there is some pretty up tight guys around in some threads. Remember ! If no one ask questions and you don't get ansewers you wouldn't have a forum. And " mean people suck". Some growers are more up tight then the dudes in the dirtbike forums who someone posted pics and GPS numbers to their super secret single track. And that's pretty bad.
