Flipping them to flower worked, I've identified the males. Dimple method does not work, it's still roughly 50/50.
This thread is going to calm down, I'll check in weekly at this point.
Still waiting for one last pickup and it's about time to top..
Its Day38 btw. Plants got 50ml of EA total water, 15ml EA of 1/4 strength clonex, and intermittent LST(bending) so far. Considering 1/8 strength bloom nutrient bottom soak to help with stress during HST(topping)..
Looks like I...
Yeah, its seeming that way.. It's still about a 50/50 split between dudes and ladies, even with that method. Didnt hurt to try, it did waste some coveted space though.
Agreed!
And theyll be inside for a while, but 6 of these are going to new homes tomorrow. I've got to pick 3 to keep and see where it goes from there. Unfortunately-fortunately(?) I'm in a place where numbers matter.
Day 25:
While checking on things today I noticed a clear split of traits in this batch of phenotypes. Mind you that I have been rotating the plants to control the canopy height all this time, so everyone had the same chances to stretch.
Figured I'd post a pic. After tomorrow, its only going to...
Just want to get this started.. These Diesel Auto seeds are going into the drink tomorrow morning!
Right now they're sitting out and getting acclimated on the counter.
I got the 3x3 auto growing cage wired up and setup today out of some fencing and tie wire. I'll take a pic or 2 tomorrow and...
Saw someone in here, figured I'd bump it in case anyone is having burn issues at the beginning of this season. Ive seen that happen with Mother Earth Groundswell
I'll probably mix the soil down with some Black gold next time, seems a bit hot for a seedling.
Update: Its day 23 until 5pm tomorrow.
Plants are doing better than I had expected out of a home depot light, even better in some aspects!
The lens/cover of the led bar creates a couple of linear hotspots.. Which in my case really isnt a bad thing. Let me explain.
The plants are spaced kinda...
Update... Just transplanted from the starter tray to an 18oz Dixie cup each.
The cups have about an inch of perlite in the bottom, are filled with Mother Earth 'Groundswell', and have four 1/4in wide slits in the bottom for drainage and ventilation.
Sprayed the 2knuckle2finger deep transplant...
Yup. That it will..
But the stalk will be less accurate about coming up in the center of a medium in an environment where space is at a premium and spacing is most crucial. An autoflower SOG setup for example. Being inaccurate there can effect air flow characteristics and thermic uniformity...
