NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

SO im pretty sure that 3 of 4 are males...

Im in week 2 of flowering... Probably gonna clone the female so I have a yield that's worth the electric bill....

How bad is it to switch back to 18/6 on the female? so I can get the clones a lil bigger and well rooted?

also, im going to give all 4 a few more days until i am 100% before ripping up these purdy plants....

how far into week two, day 8 or 14, back to veg is stressfull but its ok to do, but why would you any way, the one plant will give you the same yield as the 4 would, let the female grow, i wouldnt clone her as its already in flower, major stress, if you revert back to veg, wait until all the flowering signs are gone to clone, but i would stay goin with the one plant, get rid of the males when you confirm it for sure

well if you're not sure about the three being male you could post some pics so we could help identify. but why didnt you make clones of all four and put them to flower so you could sex the parent plants that would still be in veg? as far as putting the female back in a veg cycle it shouldn't be too bad I mean I've reveged plants before no problem but if I remember correctly you could run the risk of stressing or shock which could cause you pretty little girl to go hermie

Its dark cycle now pic to come.. i have them under 600w hps and its been 15 days flowering.. if i kill males and go back to veg. I would then be able to clone yes? I just think it won't be worth the $ spent if i just have 1 under a 600w....

i wouldnt, revegging requires 2-4 weeks just to start getting new growth again. just flower it out and start somemor ebeans, maybe next round will yeild better ratio's

fem seeds are the way to go for the smaller scale indoor grows..

Agreed, but here is my predicament. I Built the grow room and it was not super cheap... but still not overly expensive. I move out of this house on july 30. I have 600w hps. I want to get as much out of this while I can.

so. in your opinion, would it be worth it to revegg and start new seeds and/or eventually clone so I can have more or just keep flowering this one, maybe 2 females

If i was you i would grow those 2 out, no revegging, i grow 2 at a time and get a pound every time with a 600 hps and a 2x4x5 tent, hydro top feed dwc. your yield is gonna be nearly the same from 2 as 20 its all in the light, youre ore likely to yield more with those 2 fems, then if you had 6 or 8, just the 2 will fill out and take all the light, im prof of this, also check out ne1cangrow on youtube, guy does vey well with his setup, very impressive!!!!!
ITS TWO LIL BABY GIRLS!!!! so proud

I concur with everything said in this thread, don't bother trying to reveg just kill the males and grow the girls through and you should be fine. just in the future for your next grow due feminized seeds or take a clone from each plant to start and flower the clones to find out the sex of the parents, that way you dont risk a hermie. best of luck to you my friend.

Thanks for all the input!!!

I had planned on clones to sex plant but then a slight problem arose with my landlord and I felt like there was a slight chance he would start giving people walk thru the house in april... Thats what he did when I toured the house and he did not even tell the previous occupants we were commin!! I started the grow b4 i made the decision of moving elsewhere come august. SO the moment I told him I was not renewing I made preps for the light flip and swithched a week later to flower.

BUT now my current housemate is staying so there will be no prying eyes popping up unexpectedly!! :)

SO, to make up for loosing two plants i have fallen in love with, I just started germin my 5 last seeds. And will be vegging them in a small fridge I have that looks like a perfect setup. Gonna need some work on it tho. Im removing the back electrical/cooling portion and making it into an intake fan and a port that will allow my humidifier to pump moisture into it. and probably sever other mods. should be pretty fun project!!

the 4 (now 2) plants I have been workin on was my first grow attempt in years so I was rusty.. now I feel I can do a MUCH better job w/ these 5 new ones. Then once they are a good size, and the flowering ladies are complete, I will make the flip and move the new ones in and flower (clone sex first this time tho!!)

thanks again guys, Im pumped for this op and time is of the essence soooooo... Im off to mod my new veg chamber!!!

Dont go back to veg, but still clone off of her. unless you want to keep your lights on for 24/ for the next few weeks. then if so, the fastest way to clone is to get a dixie cup fill it 1/3 with your choice of soil, then place your clone (don't use rockwool, it's just as bad as asbestos.) on top the soil. Then lightly moisten the soil with HOT water, and cover with clear plastic sandwich bag. Use hot water to create a warm moist environment which will increase the root formation. I usually see roots within three to five days!
I also recommend placing your lights vertically so you get a full 360 degree view of the spectrum instead of just the 180 degree you get from horizontal lighting. this will allow you to place your clones directly underneath the middle of the light and have the larger plants on the sides where most the light is concentrated.
