I can only have four plants going at a time. The permit will let me have up to 50 at one time

50 plants is no joke. I've got 88 in flower, 8 moms, up to 40 rooted clones in cups, and a cloner of 36 going. Perpetually. Done effieciently, it is like a part time job every other week. I guess it's not all that bad, but I still resent it. I'm also simultaneously grateful for it. Blessing/Curse...
I break mine away from the previous knuckle formation.
Could be, I'd keep an eye on them.
You can grow regulars just sprout more than you need and kill off males or do a male and a female and you'll be able to mine the genetics for a long time to come.

I'm not C2G either....however I would break them up a little higher.

A little light bondage might help also.
4 plants could give you 1 male and three females. You'd have all the seeds you'd ever need (of that strain)

She can also mine the genetics for a very long time just by cloning her winning phenotype. I grow an OG Kush strain that I popped the beans of a decade ago, and she's still going strong. Otoh, I've blown the genetics out on a couple of other stains that got so sickly after many years of cloning, that it wasn't worth growing them any longer. It is interesting to witness the varied genetic tendencies at play while studying them over the years.

I've almost always used fem seeds with great results. I had a few crops with herms. During the worst case I discovered that my 1000w HPS was coming on for 30 minutes in the middle of their sleep because a couple of the little tabs on the timer got pushed in somehow. Thousands wasted because of such a dumb mistake. Good luck with the permit.

50!! Fuck I wouldn’t have to work anymore good luck hope you get it.

That's what I did for years, until PM got me, and that is so much easier and better IMO than searching through seeds for a decent strain or 2. Especially if you are growing for profit...If you are doing it for fun, experiment away.

Me too, but occasionally I'll get some plants that throws some yellow nanners in the buds towards the end. Not full blown hermies, but it still does seem to slow down their resin production some. It happened this run, to about 20% of the plants...2-3 different strains and most of them have been solid in the past. Not really sure what causes it, but I'm not sure I like the reflective mylar on my walls. I speck of light gets in and it gets magnified!! Stress can do it too I believe.
Edited to say I had 1 regular plant throw some nanners this time, a GMO. I have 3 different phenos of it going and only none threw nanners....the one I thought was going to be the best. It did finish first, but time will tell which is the best.
I'm not planning on going with crazy plant counts or increasing my square footage. Ideally I would like to do 24 plants in a sog so I can do the same weight as I got from the scrog with a lot less work. I’ve been using blumat irrigation system that @curious2garden recommended and its been hands off other than topping up the reservoir.50 plants is no joke. I've got 88 in flower, 8 moms, up to 40 rooted clones in cups, and a cloner of 36 going. Perpetually. Done effieciently, it is like a part time job every other week.

min gonna have to think about this for a bit, I don’t know that I could handle the heartache if I got all males. I know it’s a long shot, but it happened to mysunnvboy.
I have a ten pack of sensi seeds hash plant and on paper they look like they’ll be good for sog. What do you think of sensi? I remember you said hso were just mids.
I think I applied in March, can’t remember really. They said it can take up to four months for approval

I popped 5 dragon fruit once, 4 were males.
^^^^ this
Usually you get a more even male:female ratio. However for whatever reason my Dragonfruit were heavily male. I'm considering feminizing them so I don't have to pop 16 to get 2 females. I'd use regulars.
Okay I’m going to run the hash plant after this. It really seems to be what I’m looking for in plant structure. I could still luck out and get my permit before I finish this grow.

I love any hash plant cross Bodhi do. If it wasn’t so hard to get them into this country I’d order all of their crosses lol.

I haven’t grown anything from sensi seeds in a super long time. Like in almost 20 yrs. i’m not sure any of their strains would check all the marks needed for these picky mofos nowadays. But the genetics should be solid. Every female will be close to each other. Crossing male to female should end up with uniform results. They are old school real breeders who did the work to stabilize most of their strains. Except their bigbud. They just couldn’t get that one to stabilize.
