PMSL hahaha that wouldn't surprise me!

Yes I've been working hard tonight trying to get the flooring finished so I can get onto the door frame and get it sealed. Once it's sealed I can start using the damn thing and get an airflow going...

I pulled out another male today (got the wife to check it too hehehe she loved it really LoL) bleeding little nut sacks all over him grrr he's sitting in the kitchen right now feeling quite smug, but little does he know, he's gonna get it later on hehehe

And the good news... I gots a female!! WOOO! My first :) with two more left to show gender.
And it's the next biggest one (big grin)!! the two biggest turned out to be the males so this is very good news indeed.
Two tiny little pistels sticking out of one of the nodes of the side branches, sneaky little beggars too lol hiding they was.

So, hoping to put them into the new cab as soon as possible so I can get germinating the next lot! :)

Pics as soon as I find that damned cable!
My stoner senses are telling me all of your males have already shown, and they rest are gonna be all bitches! Oh yeah!

I got a tad snip happy last night and snipped off a load of fan leaves... they were blocking nodes, is my excuse. Regretting it now...
I figure they're taking this damned long to get going anywhere, then adding another week or two through stunting isn't going to make much difference apart from the lower nodes may get more light.

I've kind of given up on the LST for the now and actually removed all the ties to let them stretch up. I'll give it another go once they're under the new light.

Gotta say, they do look happier after a good pruning :)

I'm really excited to get out there later tonight to see if there're any more pistels!

How's your heats doing. I'm using a tube heater (I've mentioned early in this journal). My temps have been ok of late. Lowest light off temp is 18.6c. I'm happy with them now. Just have it controlled on a thermostat.

My heat seems to be ok for the now.
I've just completed my under floor heating system (minus the gravel, couldn't be arsed) and it's proper toasty in the new box.
My upper cab sits at around 20-27C, so once my lower cab is operational (in a week or two) I'll be able to channel that heat into the lower box for lights off cycles :)
Looking forward to that :)

Blue widow, is that one feminised? and where from?

I'm not particularly bothered with the kush family. I believe they're all mostly sativa strains and so grow really really tall. Too tall for my lil set up lol

Oh.. btw... just bought a propogator (tray and vented lid) from The Range for 3 quid ;)

LoL I been trying man! It's like it just vanished...

I took pics of the male this time too, and pics of me cutting the shit outta it with a big ass pair of scissors pmsl Was a right shame though, 15 tall tops it had from all my LST work and they were all covered in effing nut sacks...

Sorry for the crap pics, my phone is rubbish.

But you can see how I've laid down the heating system. I didn't put any gravel in as I just couldn't be arsed to empty my shed out to get to it. And now having stuck my hand inside the venting, I know it's toasty as fuk!! I'm sure it's going to work once I get it properly sealed and the air is moving between cabs.

Next step is to get the door worked out, get the venting sorted and the mylar hung up. then I can get the light in and test out the temps.
Fingers crossed it's all gonna be kushty and I can put my girls straight in there :)

I still have to buy some piping for the inter-cab air movement and wire up an internal fan from the same charger. I have a proper inline fan for the exhaust which will eventually send through my carbon filter.

Next cab update when some more work is done :)
