Very Very interesting Wolfman...As per usual interesting read...

I`m just taking a look at my other seeds that I`ve still got around to see if I can actually notice what it is they`re talking about...I do suppose that seems a bit too easy to tell but hey it that works that`d be awesome man !!!

Thanks

+rep wolfman. I completely agree with that. Every single one of the Feminized seeds i just purchased have those characteristic's. I havent grown them yet but when i do grow them im going to find out how true that is.

lol... don't let them fool you FT... my plants would show me all kinds of UFO's (Unidintified Floral Objects).. lol

Wait about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks into flowering... and look more in the branch tips.. Thats were all my girls showed...

Oh and I thought I would share this... not sure if it's true.. but wouldn't hurt to try...

Hi FT,

Got my fingers crossed for you bud! Just been reading back through your journal (yet again!!!)......im getting close to nutes now, my girls look like your pics on page 22-23 of your journal, so i'm not far off.....going by what you've done.

Keep posting your pics matey......it's nice to have an accurate record to match mine against. (Seriously......really really useful for a 1st timer!)

Keep up the good work!!

9/7 Mid-Day Update !

Hey everyone, sorry for the tardy update but I had to be at work stupid early today so I can be home in time for kickoff !!! Which I made and am currently on cloud 9.. I missed football so much !! I know i'm in Toronto.. but.. GO BROWNS !!!!!! I'm a huge browns fan..anyway different convo for a different forum !

So today is officially 1 week of 12/12... Preflowers are defiantly forming and popping up all around, however still no true sign of a white hair or even a ball for that matter. Well thats not entirely true, I did find 2 lil ball like things on HK, however in saying that I've seen them before and they generally turn into new leaves, they are also on the top most node which is kinda odd as none of the others are showing the same.. So no over-reacting here, I'll give it time before I see what he/she really is. TH is still growing well but again no sign of anything at all on TH just pre-flowers.. I'm also believe it or not running into my first real "problem" of this grow, as it was bound to happen !! On HK, I have a few little brownish spots on some of the leaves as well as minor minor minor burn on the tips of a few leaves, hardly all of them at all. My plan to cure these problems is as follows... I have a feeling it could potentially have to do with me still using the Veg nutes now a week into flower. So I'm sure I'll have atleast 1 watering if not 2 by thursday (pay day) So those waterings are going to be flushes, I will put a large amount of clean distilled water through the plant and then a nother splash of water with jsut 1 drop of Superthrive no other nutes.. Then on thursday its back to the hydro store to pick up PureBlend Pro Bloom. I figure the 2 plain water watering between the 2 different nutes should "free up" the soil as well as help with the minor burn. As for TH, I'm also going to switch her over to the PureBlend Pro Bloom instead of the 20-20-20 shes been on.. That will conclude the experiment untill (hopefully) smoke time, when we'll see if there is a more chemy taste to TH. Thats my plan for the coming week.. I will continue to take pics daily even if I end up with a male or two, I'll take photos till the latest I can just to help those who haven't sexed plants before (like myself this time). Anyway enough babble, time for pictures so I can smoke a bowl and watch some football !!

[Just an example of the slight burn and brown spots.. I'd say 1/7th of the leaves have like 1 spot and only maybe 4 or 5 are mildly burnt]

Thats it for now everyone, cross your fingers for me that my plants start to show some female signs in the coming minutes,hours,days...lol.. Hopefully what they say is true, the longer it takes the more likely they're female.. its been one full week, I'm prepared for the worst but hoping for the best !!

Have a great FOOTBALL sunday everyone !!!! GO BROWNS GO !!!!!

Thanks buddy,

Dude TELL ME ABOUT IT, I can't tell you how many times I freaked out thinking I saw a hair but it was just a Calyx from the other side.. piss me off !! lol

I want to look every 5 minutes but nothings changing that fast :(

OH I forgot to mention for mount4in but anyone else as well.. I had to raise my lights another inch -inch and a half this morning when I turned on the lights, I might even have to do it again as they're starting to get a bit close...The other thing I've done is to leave my 42W on for longer intervals now for more light as well. I'm debating adding a splitter and some more bulbs, but I think i'll wait till I have sex confirmed on one or both.

I'm truly afraid I might have found a ball on HK.. its a single one, and its too small to get a pic of just yet.. time will tell.. I'm just kinda bummed so I thought I'd post for some "morale support".. As for TH, still too early...

*sigh*

What do you guys think ?!?!



I'm still up in the air, think its still a bit too early to tell... Regardless of responses here and even what I fear, I'm leaving these plants for a while longer..

Anyone interested in sending me a female clone ?? I know it gets done all the time ?!? Any takers ? lol

-Tdot

**Edit** I just had a thought, well more like a "dumb" question.. Do male plants smell as stinky skunky nice as female plants do ? I mean from their leaves as everytime I touch either plant but more HK's leaves or stems my hands smell for almost 20 minutes later ?? Just thinking out loud !!

I have to say, your grow has been very well done. I wish my plant looked as good as yours.

I grew 6 seeds from bag seed and got 5 males. So I put the lone female back to 18/6 light to grow it bigger. Once I get some good growth shoots I will start cloning it. I built a simple cloning station with 2 rubbermaid containers, 4-23w CFLs and a big ass fan on the side of it. I am going to get all my clones going in that box then once I have 6-8 nice clones, I will transfer them to my big box and move the mother to the clone box to grow more shoots while I flower the clones. It seems good in theroy but I will have to see how it works.

As for the males. I read on here the Iso method for making hash....so I did it. I must say it worked excellent. I have been so freaking high all day now....it has been amazing. It was made from 100% male plants, the entire plant dried out and put through the iso method. So if you do get a male, dry it and make hash....its worth it.

Another aside, I started one seed, bag seed again, at the beginning of the summer and just threw it in the dirt outside. It has grown to a pretty good size considering it doesnt get much light. I looked at it today, as I fogot I had it outside, and its a female....wooohooo. I am definatly going to put some of my female clones outside next summer.

Grow on!!!!
