and I have no phone to take photos, it's getting fixed right now. Grr!
it all depends on what want do with mom but generally like take cuts all over like spread it out so dont look like charlie browns xmas tree lolDo you cut the top or the bottom nodes to get your clones?
u right males usually alway show before femYou don't have to 'recover' to go to flower after topping fwiw... that's just my opinion. My next batch will be 12/12 from seed and I plan on topping
Generally what I've noticed in my outdoor (and just *very* recently in my first indoor) grows, is that male/herm will show sex before female, so they are easy to decipher. As a new grower, you're going to look every day, so if you don't see the two small hairs, don't panic. Let things grow out. Males will show themselves with ball sacks long before they pollinate and you *will* be able to identify them.
Chop them down, and watch the rest. When you discard the males/hermies, put them in a bag and throw them in a dumpster a few blocks from your house.
Clones? Some say from bottom, but I have taken from what makes Mom look better. Mostly from bottom, but pruned branches from the top are just as effective.
Pics? You might see some white hairs on my three indoor females in the last pic of the last post in my sig for my current grow
-spek
do you know the age, height or maturity the plants need to be to start showing balls or hairy fairys? I understand it depends on the strain and whatnot but a generalised answer would be cool? haha
thats what I'm hoping for but at the same token they are growing quite aggresively and have shot up. like I topped two bigger ones less than 24 hours ago and I can already see shoots at the top, so hopefully I just have prestine conditions for my little babies. by the way I've named them, snooki, holly and allison... just for further persuasion
100% success rate would make my whole damn week!
i just had 3 out 3 tga seeds turn out be femsThanks dude I'm really hoping so
Important! I cut down a male, and just set it aside in a bag. A couple of days later I took a look, and saw that the pollen sacs had opened up in the meantime, with pollen wafting through the air.
that would have been scary! I would probably have fell on my knees, sucked on my thumb and then continued to roll around on the grow room floorImportant!

Luckily I was able to contain it, but I learned my lesson!
