600w HPS cupboard grow from clones (LST)
- Thread starter kootabuds
- Start date
I've realised LST is going to be a problem because the plants that I LST are going to be lower than the canopy of the other plants, which means they won't get enough light. I have to either LST them all or LST none. Still deciding. I think im going to just leave them all.

Why don't you put the taller plants on the side and the lsted plants in the middle. That way they can all get light.

A few questions about that fan. What type is it and how loud is it? Also..are you worried that pumping moist hot air into your attic is going to cause mold problems?
Well I switched them to flower about 3 days ago. Bad news. Nearly all of them are male. So much for feminized seeds. It looks like out of 10, only 2 are female. Im going to rip them all out even the females, Im not going to run a 600watt light for only 2 plants. So thats the end of that. Won't be buying feminzed seeds again. And probably won't be growing again for a while either. Its cheaper to buy it.

ah man that sux. ya feminized seeds suck but never heard of geting males from them just lots of hermies. sound like they shipped the wrong seeds. but i run 2 plants under 1 600 and its well worth it. the more you grow the better it gets and IMO its not cheaper to buuy weed every other day

wow man that sucks, i don't think it's time to quit yet though.
I was pissed off at my recent discovery of males lol so I was thinking of ditching the whole grow
But today I went in and had a better look. I've cut down 5 definate males. The 5 I've left there, im pretty sure 4 are females and one is a male. I need to give it a few more days. But I guess 4 is not bad if thats what I end up with. And if I do end up with 4, i'll keep the grow going.
Just pissed off that you can get only 4 females out of 10 feminized seeds. Im probably mostly to blame for the stress they went through early on.

yea it sucks but at least you got some females. not sure if it's true but i read somewhere that feminized seeds are just stable hermies, and that they can hermie on you at any time. thats why i would never spend extra money on something like that. i feel that if you have the right growing conditions during your plants early stages of life you'll always get females, but maybe im crazy.

purple cream your right about the fem seeds its just a hermie seed. you get either female or hermies but mostly hermies. i think u got males because they shipped the wrong seeds, or mabye the males are hermie but showed male signs first. but the sex of a plant is determined when it is being made by the mother. if it is produced a female seed than that seed will be female unless stressed to bad and then it will hermie but can not change from male to female or female to male. so i think u might be a bit crazy my freind but know worries who isnt. and you should always try to have the right growing conditions
