If your plant outside is less than 4 weeks which I would assume it is during the current time in the year, I would simply take cuttlings from the females outside and place them in the aero, you will be surprised with the result. Personally I like to cut and let clones grow roots 7-14 days then move 2-inch pots directly from cloner to flower room.... However, I have simply cut clones and placed directly into the flower room just because it burns me up to see open spaces in my aero, I figure if its just going to be empty I might as well use it, but its best to spend about $50 tops maybe like 20-40 on a pump and couple of feet of pvc to build you a cloner, really comes in handy.... I have a 1.5 gallon res on a 25 site cloner.

I pulled the plant out and the roots came with it like nothing, some roots may have broke off but it came out with no force. even if a few roots came loose Ill find and pull them before they get bad, you think i can have an effect on the plants roots.

hey guys I need your opinion, one of the plants has been showing hermie characteristics. it had one pistil then it grew staminate flowers, now it has more pistils and has clusters that resemble male flowers. here is some pics let me know what you think. If you look thoroughly you can idenitify the pistils and the clusters and staminate flowers.

Buddha,
I have 2 questions/comments. 1 - is this the same plant that was experiencing light leaks as this can definitely cause a plant to hermie (in which case the seeds would be 'theoretically feminized) but I only advise using those seeds if it is for sure the plant that was caused to hermie by enviornmental forces. The big difference is that if the plant has the genetics to hermie and you use seeds then you have a generation of seeds that have a hermie mom and hermie father as the plant is the mother and father. ON the other hand, if the plant was driven to hermie by enviormental forces then this is the same process to create feminize seeds, some stress the plant with gebric (sp) acid which causes the female plant to grow pollen balls and germinate herself..... 2.) With all that said, the only thing that I see in the picture are the small single little buds that generally appear at all bud intersections I wouldn't be to worried until you see some little bannas and/or complete little clusters...at that point you should refer to #1 above and kill hermies if 1) caused by genetics 2.) especially if it is located with the rest of the garden and could possibly germinate your entire harvest...Hurts just saying it but on my very first grow I accidentally made some pretty good "strains" plants all hermied from general stress...Only if I knew then what I know now!!!!

hey buddha all my plants ended up female just let em grow to really make sure...

Alright so the plant was indeed a hermie, I thought about keeping it in a seperate place but since i have limited space i decided to chop "it" down. Since then I have been focusing on my only female, I have since cleaned the AG resevoir and added new water and nutes. She measures over 2 feet tall, stretching another 2-3 inches overnight, every morning i wake i have to raise the lights, I think i'm going to raise the lights at night about 2 inches so i don't get any burnt leaves, and if she doesn't get too close i'll lower them. Temps are currently 83.3F with humidity rocking in between 50-55% during the day in the enclosure. At night the temps are dipping to 77F and about 40% humidity. The only thing I noticed is that near the top of the plant the temps are about 89-92F is that too hot? My water temp remains at 78-80F and my roots are looking super healthy. My question is why am I seeing minimal advancement in flowering, I am seeing extreme stretching which is normal, how long do you think I have until I see bud growth, and how can I speed it up?

On the up side, at least she wont have to compete with any other plants. Shes lookin healthy.

Do you think it's too late to take some clones? there is still 2-3 branches near the bottom that have no pistils.

Fuck no. Take em soon though to minimize the stress on the clone going back to 18/6 or whatever schedule you use.

hey buddha i would lower the temps in there if i was you and how tall is she now mine are starting to get hairy
you got a deficiency man. its either magnesium, zinc, or iron. sounds closest to magnesium.
nice plants. good job!

Alright its been awhile so here is an update on my girl. It's been 36 days since i started 12/12 when she was a seedling, it's been 22 days since she showed signs of sex, I'm going to say its week 3 of flowering since I believe the plant switched to flowering around then because I had the plant 12/12 before it was able to flower.
Temps are at a steady 79.5F and 50% humidity, drops down to about 73.3F at night and 60% humidity.
