So you got only 2 females? out of 6? bummer, I thought you said your friend let you use his hps? I would use that for flowering, the t5's were a much better choice for veg, but hps I think will do better for flowering, unless you can get those 3000k, even then I think hps would be better, and if its only 2 plants, you should get awesome results.

Good grow so far man : )

I've seen the term hermie before but I'm not quite sure what implications it has. I see that you got rid of them but they aren't males, so what's up?

"Hermie" a short form for "hermaphrotidite" Its has both female and male sex organs. no good for me!! it will pollinate all my females BOOOOO

so it plays the role of a male, why not just call it a male?

No it doesn't just play the role of a male as it produces seeds and males cannot do that. All the males can do is produce pollen to pollinate the females. Therefore as this is a hermaphrodite it can self pollinate meaning the seeds produced shud be the same genetics as the hermie as only 1 plants genes have been used

I cut off some of the lower sucker branches on one of the plants. I put them in water to see if they will root. if so Then I will have a couple of clones. Another thing is that on one of my plant the leaves are curling and kinda flipping over. I think it might be a Magnisum def. I will feed them some epson salts next watering

My one plant is looking pretty rough I think its either too much nutes or a magnisum def. I feel so bad the leave are curling under and some of them are almost flipping. its also pretty droopy. I will water with plain water and a litlle Epson salt if it is a mag. def. I hope they bounce back. But they have put on wieght and the little hairs are increasing everyday. They are actually turning a little pink. I dont have a cam right now so I will post some picks on tues or wed

hey mattso!
be patient with the clones, if your doing it in water without any rooting hormone, make sure you keep the water fresh by changing every 2 or 3 days or else a lot of bacteria will build up and eventually kill the clone.

Also you wanna make sure very little light gets to the part where roots are to be formed.

Before you see roots the leaves will get larger and larger even tho there is no root system.

besides that its still the typical stuff (ie. low power light, spray everyday, humidity dome etc..)

good luck and hopefully when you get some pix we can help ya with the problems you say you're having


edit: oh yea almost forgot the stems of the clones will curve a little also, this is a good sign, just give it about a week or two and roots will spring from the bottom then U can transplant

check your temp at that particular plant and leaves sometimes leaves curl if they get too hot.
