hey jasper, have you sexxed your plants yet?

ive got el purp and some new ww, and the km they included free.

got about 40 of them going... if i veg them long enough will they show their sex without the 12/12 light?

how far along are you now, and have they shown sex yet?

thanks

Ya all my plants are sexed... i did lose trac of a few of them but what i kno is that i got 4 confirmed females and a male that im keeping for pollen.i had to much going to keep trac of.....(using colored toothpics didnt help at all)
my last update shows all 4 girls...yea i planted all my seeds just figured ill make my own for reserve and clone the shit out of them. i took like 30 cuttings there in the cloner.i went color code method then i lost the data that i had all stored due to being stoned.so im not sure whats what but have a good guess ....U doin a journal? If u do id be intrested.Im also growing the euphoria rapido fantisco one week in.was the ww a freebie?i noticed that bcseeds is marking there shit up even more than it was ....they claim its goin to get worse...lol. Good Luck on yer grow im sure if u veg them long enough you will see get preflowers so i heard or read lol.i just forced flower on all mine so i could pick the males and kno where i was sitting at.As soon as i knew they where female i cloned the lower ones.I put them to sleep for 36 hours before they went into flower... hope this helps.Im probly not the best guy to ask questions.This be is my first time....but is what makes this more intresting i think

why only 5 plants total? didnt you get 10?

i bought the new ww, el purp, and got 10 more nww free as well as 20 km from them, so 50 seeds total.

i planted all but 5 of each strain so id have 5 backups of each, and make sure im doing thigns well before i put all my eggs in one basket.

ALL BUT 5 seeds germinated of about 35 plants, so not bad.

then i recntly germed the other 15 seeds i still had left, and its a much worse ratio... more like 50/50... and there was only a 1 month gap in there, and i kept them in a dark place.

i guess moral is to germ them as soon as you get them... i guess they get old or something.

they are expensive now, but just wait till after christmas in jan and feb.. im sure they will have another sale.

i have no journal, dont like to take pics. maybe some day.

My first batch of seeds i had 9 elephant sprout.Out of all my freebies the kmak and the wwxsweetooth i had the poorest rate.i cant recall the total seeds outta 50 i planted was something like 38.This time of seeds i planted all but ten.I had 9europhia fantasico rapido out of 15 planted.9/10 big mamas.the kmak i had 8 /15.I left 5 of the europhia and 5 kmaks left. my thoughts were maybe the seeds are to fresh and need to dry a little.All in all i belive i got what i paid for with the 9 e.f.r.i have yet to contact them bout such poor germination rates.i gave the ones i germed 2 weeks. i soak my seed 24 hours first then paper towel method in a bag on my heat matt.im hoping that my seeds i make come out better.As for the reason i only can prove the 4 females i got.I palnted over 80 seeds and tried to color code them between toothpics and straws .the straws worked but the toothpics lost their color and looked like they were getting moldyand were takin out and i lost trac.im not to woried about it i have a few suspicions on another 2 but ony time will tell if they are elephants.Regardless they are growing great hanent had a problem with them yet at all...just clear sailing.As for my poor germ rates i always felt that what i paid for came thru plus more so no point crying over it.And more of most of the freebies took off.But i did notice the kmak was shit this time some cracked but did not take off.Im only growing my freebies out no clones or anything same as my other strains bought from elsewhere.Im given bcseeds genes a full trial and my thoughts.My main goal is to just end up with the elephant and europhia fantisco rapido only at the end of it all.One room elephant and one room europhia.I can hold over 50 nice size plants in each room should be killer...
If u dont feel like doing a journal but feel like sharing ... post some pics here after all this is a elephant journal id like to see how yours grow
They just came out with their version of green crack...i will be buying that shi*t next month.I have some bagseed green crack but only one and dont kno what it is.is a sweet tasting bud that stinks like a mofo_One joint and you smell it for hours.i smoke a j outside and all of a sudden my neighbor comes out.He could smell that shit in his house.Was the day i found out he smokes. Have no choice but to try and get that gene for myself.You guys think the elephant is over rated .Their claiming 42% and 7 week flower time with a better yield then ele ....If its related to the stuff that comes around here.i must have it...ill take my chances.By the time i get the cash for it ....I should have a good results from my elephant.

Looks good. i hope it works out for you. Here is my limited experience with them.

Ordered from them about a year ago. Took a long time to come in but I'm far away from BC. Got white widow/sweet tooth and chronic and what was claimed to be fem trainwreck as freebies. The white widow/sweet tooth was either 55 or 50 USD at the time and the chronic was like 65. Germed 2 WWSTs, 3 TWs and 1 chronic back in late sept (my order came in march). 5/6 germed (3 TW 1 WWST 1 Chron). 4 made it above ground but the one that didnt was most likely due to temp problems on my account, and i dropped a light on another, leaving me with one of each. All ended up females. The WWST and Chronic are both looking alright. Crystal production on the chronic is very good and the wwst is catching up and looking great as well. Both are growing in nice columns, perfect for SOG. So out of the one plant of both the WWST and Chronic the seeds are satisfactory. However, the TW is still not taking off. It is flowering but pretty slowly. Much slower than i would ever want. This could be because it is in a hydro system that i normally keep 3 or 4 in, and it is still just putting a lot of energy into growing, but i dont know. The others are in soil. Overall, i am excited about the end product, and a few days ago i put in another order totaling 230. I will update when and if this order comes in.

That being said, they are undoubtedly bullshitting on a lot of their figures. At the time of my first order with them, they only had one unreasonably priced strain, and that one was about $500. Now they are getting much worse with the prices on some strains. After i sent this money off i started getting paranoid and researching (I know I should have already done this and it's not my style to not do it but everyone does foolish things sometimes), and now I'm very antsy about my investment, despite my having this one success, which could be a fluke.

Curious... subscribed
Welcome....im sure alot are curious.I kno i sure am.According to bcseeds these should get fat fast 45 day flowering time.Im doing soil so im expecting for it to be a bit longer. i put them to bed on the 27th of last month for 36 hours and they are all sexed now 2 weeks later. i kno the sexing part might of thrown them off a week or 2 but they should be done by the end of next month if their anywhere near what they say.Im hoping for just big changes here within the weeks to come......Keep watching

Also, I realize that that was my first post and i have no credibility, and that people will want to see pics. However, i will not be putting any pics up, as i do not feel comfortable putting pictures of my alleged babies online. I hope my post is still informative. I tried to be objective in describing the actual quality of genetics.

How is the flowering time on the wwxst?Yea there claims are far out there...So far out there and they dont seem to be lowering their prices . If you have pics around id like to see the wwxst...i have that going as well but lost them in my jungle and dont kno what ones they are.
By the end of next month everyone should be able to have a good opinion on these.If they as good are as they say progress should be quick.I have serious thoughts on the green crack.Im just waiting till the new year and if i like what i see whats goin on with the ele i will glady throw another 500 down.I dont mind throwing the money down . im trying alot of other breeders and keep planning on it.Im goin to keep trying something new until i find the special 1.

Veg. lasted about a month. I was lazy in starting my log so i don't know the exact date. Lighting in the beginning of veg was really ghetto, a few cheap tube fluorescents. After a couple weeks i started using regular spiral cfl's, 145 watts of 2700k, 52 watts of 6500k. For the last week or so of veg and the first week or two of flowering i used a HydroFarm 125w CFL fixture at 6500K (no 2700K at the store when i got it), and the original 145 watts of 2700k spiral cfls. Now, finally, i have them under a 400w hps.
