I have 10 seeds going and am expecting 4 to be males. It would be badass if no males, but not likely since everyone else has been getting about 50/50.

I checked them this morning and 6 are about an inch tall. 2 came out of the ground and havent done anything, and 2 didnt come out of dirt. hopefully i get 4 females out of the six. I might have to order more seeds to get a few more going. Maybee I'll check out the feminized white dwarf from buddha seeds. I only have 10- 12 weeks till i gotta move, so I need to do autoflowers.

I got the seeds thru attitude seed bank. www.cannabis-seed-banks.co.uk cost me 96 bucks i think for 10 regular diesel ryder seeds, plus they gave me a feminized california hash plant seed and a feminized white widow seed. Im gonna wait to grow those free ones cause they need a flower cycle and im tryin autoflowers right now.

I dont know. I think i gotta let them hang dry till the bud is dry but the stems still bend, then put them in jars sealed 24hrs then open and if damp leave open a few hours, but if wet the take out and dry more and repeat.

Its been 14 days now and hardly any new growth. They are still under2". they all have 2 sets of single blade leaves. After they start to flower I'll start to feed.

The 7 are around 2 inch. 3 are shorter.

They still seem small.

Very nice setup man. Just a side note to all you growers out there, the Attitude Seedbank is killer. Great stealth shipping, nice prices, and HUGE selection from the top breeders and genetics. If you want a legitimate Cannabis Cup strain--go to the Attitude.
