    My fair ladies - Update pics

    The workspace is 3 ft X 3 ft. As you can see the walls are mylar, which I think helps a lot to get light to lower foliage. I have 4 plants in 3 gallon pots. I started flowering on Dec 11, so it has been about 4 weeks now. The last time I watered I used Big Bloom. I think that I will...

    My fair ladies - Update pics

    These pics show 2 of my 4 ladies. The one on the right is a good example of seedlings that started out as stretched because I had the flouro's too far above them. The one on the left was not stretched as I started it properly. These were vegged and flowered under a 400 w hps. As always, I am...

    Seedlings are stretching!!

    These are severly stretched. If you keep them, you will likely have to use a support, such as a piece of wire to support them upright. You MUST get your light above them and within 1 inch of the top of the plant. I also had this trouble and the plants are doing well now, but they were not as...

She is under a 400W HPS. Does anyone see anything that looks out of whack? Again, being my 1st I am learning as I go by...

    Do male organs appear before females?

    I just put my 8 plants to 12/12 8 days ago. I have 2 of them that have very apparent male organs (see earlier post with pic), thus I have had 2 funerals. These 2 plants were taller than the others. The other 6 do not show significant signs of organ develpment. So, my question is do males...

    sexing and clones

    Thanks for the advise about maintaing the female, but it doesn't answer my very basic question about establishing the female to use for cuttings.

    sexing and clones

    When do the first signs of sex appear? I am assuming it is not until you switch to 12/12 and the flowering stage. I also understand that cloning should not be done during the flowering stage, but only during veg. So, this seems to be a catch 22, unless I clone all plants, label them and then...
