curled leaves to be able to follow its progress easier.

My plants look like this when they get too hot. For example, if I turn off all my fans to take pics for my journal and forget to turn them back on because I'm stoned. Your case is not severe so if you could decrease the temperature by 5 degrees your leaves will flatten out.

Dont let them get too hot, let my journal be a lesson... More vents at any sign... And you could very easily use a foliar spray with a drop of superthrive and they would green right up with a great shine. Superthrive is wonders in foliar spray and is available almost everywhere... very low drops- its a supervitamin/hormone not a nute. Been around since the 40's. Little bottle cost under 10$ and last forever.

Yeah thanks OB, I'm still waiting for the bottle. I ordered it the other day and hoped to have it by now but coming from the US it will take a few days to get here.

Charlie. who I thought was showing female hairs now looks like this!


WTF is that????

Are you talking about that extra growing tip? I've seen this a couple times before. It's a mutation but not a bad mutation. That's not a preflower but a third growing tip coming out of that node so instead of the usual two fan leaves and two growing tips you'll have two fan leaves and three growing tips. It's rare, but not bad. You'll have an extra bud site now!

Thanks Mared. That's reassuring. I originally thought that it was a female pre-flower because it looked like two hairs. Then yesterday when I looked, you can just about see that it has a little stork so I was concerned that it was a male 'ball' that has opened out.
I will have to keep a close eye on it.

I found another female today, (definitely female) it's Jay one of the smaller plants.
I will be going out in a minute to see if I can get me an inline fan for the flower room. As much as I need to start flowering to get my first harvest ASAP, I don't mind waiting a bit longer so I can get some good yields.
I am right in thinking, the longer I veg the better my yield will be. Right?

So far, 2 girls and one boy.

I have taken some cuttings today. My very first attempt at cloning.
I have taken 2 from Genie (female) and one from Alice (bagseed) I don't know the sex yet. I'm sure Alice is a Sativa so she will be a lot slower than the other plants. As soon as her clone has rooted (IF), then I will put it in 12/12 to find out the sex.
Hopefully they will be rooting within 7 to 10 days.
I will take and add some pics of the clones and my propagator later today.
Have a great weekend everyone!!! :mrgreen: bongsmilie

Glad to see things are going well for you Barking, you've been doing an excellent job. And congratulations on your females ;) Sorry I haven't been around much - I've popped in a few times to see how you were getting on but never felt it was the right time to post (I hate to jump in just after someone has asked a question etc in case I stem the flow LOL). Also apologize for missing your query on one of my gallery pics (I never look at my own gallery hehe). In response yes I have a grow journal here https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/75638-first-grow-outdoor-uk.html. Feel free to drop in! Keep up the good work :leaf:

Thanks greenbehemoth, nice post.

Yes I have got three definite females now and so far only 1 male, if they continue at that ratio I will be a very happy man.

Man I have just spent ages trying to take some close-ups of Eden and failed miserably. There are a few new growths on a couple of nodes but I just can't get them into focus. I have a magnifying glass but my eyes are not very good so I can't make out what I am looking at.

I have 3 definite females though which I'm very happy with, I wanted a minimum of four plants and was hoping for as many as 6, so I just need 1 more female from the last 6 to hit my minimum target. Fingers crossed I am on track for about 5 or 6.

I did manage to get a couple of shots of Jay's pre-flower, (my latest female).
here's the pics.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention.
I went out to get an in-line fan today. No joy at all. After driving for miles to a few different stores and wasting all afternoon. I finally came home and ordered one from ebay! lmao i could have done that f'kin' days ago. Oh well, a couple more days.
I might put them in the dark on Sunday although that could be a risk if the fan isnt here by Tuesday, if I run the 400 HPS in there with no venting I'm gonna see 90+ degrees in a heartbeat. I may have just talked myself into waiting, lol.
I guess the longer they veg the better. I am not going to flower all of them at once, maybe the three biggest ones can go in and the others wait until they are a good size.
Sorry for prattling on, I guess I'm bored.
Thanks to everyone who has stopped by.
This will be me in a couple of months! :weed: :bigjoint: :bongsmilie:

You not got a journal going?
If you have, put a link in your signature. It's always good to watch how other UK growers are doing.

OK I'm going stick some more pics up of all the individual plants.

Here goes, I am going to start with Ivy, SHE (yes I have another girl) is my latest female only discovered this morning.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one is Eden. I have a feeling this might be a male, it's the only plant I topped so it will be a shame if I cant compare the yield to the other plants.
I guess I still have time to top another as they are still in veg but, I'm not going to on this grow. Eden is the plant that was curling up quite a bit, you can still see it but it's not as bad as it was.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is Alice, this is the only bagseed I have growing, I think it's a sativa, seems to be much slower than the others and it's leaves are much more slender than the indicas.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for Dog. Another Female.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is Genie. I may keep her as a mother for cloning. I have already taken two from her and will probably take another two today so that I can try two different methods of cloning then I will go with the one which is more successful.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charlie now. this plant is as wide as it is tall (maybe even wider).



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now comes poor little old Sloof. I originally named it fucker because it was a sorry looking fucker but I don't like cursing just for the sake of it, especially when there could be women present. So now it's called Sloof. which still stands for sorry looking fucker. :shock:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last but not least, plant 'B' which has finally got a name "Bigger" I call HER (yes it's a female) Bigger, for obvious reasons.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to finish off, here's a shot of the whole gang.

So far I believe I have 5 females and one male.
When I think I got these from a seed shop and paid £5 for 12 seeds (all G13xAbyss) I can't believe the ratio (so far, 5 females and 1 male). I had 100% germination and would have had all 12 plants if I didn't kill a few by giving them nutes too early.
Not too shabby eh?
I need one more female from the last 3 G13s for 50%. My hopes at the start was for between 4 to 6 females.
I am a bit concerned that 1 400w sodium will not be enough for 6 plants.
I got a few 20/100 watt cfls for 99pence each. Any UK growers want some I got them in LIDLs, never been in there before, I'm glad I went now.
