CMT. 2 weeks from seeds you sex them out? man That would save a ton of time and space for me if so.

EDIT: never mind read above lol
lol.

yeah. i keep em in 2 inch pots until i see a sex. then the females go in to 4 gallon buckets and the males go in to 5 inch square pots.

so how long do you usually run 12/12
when sexing, it usually takes em between 10 and 14 days to show pre-flowers.

well i keep track of the days after i see pistils forming again, they start to flower again real quick after the re-veg, usually within a week they are forming new pistils...i usually chop around the 8 week mark...depending on the strain obviously.

i re-veg my males and if they look good after 2-3 weeks i flip them in the grow cab and collect the pollen if they still look good.

looks like my SSSL and DDF5 are ready to see some 12/12 ;)
for sure, give it a go.

mutants are fun to watch grow when you flip em early like that, they get real weird lookin sometimes lol, i've had quite a few. one of those ace of spades plants that i posted was a mutant, now i can't tell the difference between the 2.

the sexing early is a nice way to see what the stretch is gonna be like too, that way you can trim/train it accordingly....and you'll know what size it should be when you flip it. like that GSOG i posted, that thing had a good 3x stretch to it, so i flipped it earlier than most so it doesnt take over my grow room.

skunk #1
http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Skunk_Nr1/Cultivators_Choice/hybridmap/
skunk and haze....its everywhere...run for your lives! lol

i told a buddy of mine the other day that most strains today are pretty much just different combinations of just a handful of heirloom/landrace strains...he didn't believe me..

Next month's Skunk magazine is going to have an article about a giant MJ tissue culture lab in Canada with over 12,000 unique and genetically pure strains. It will probably replace seeds and clones. Easy to ship and 100% germination. Welcome to the 21st century!

"over 12,000 unique and genetically pure strains"<---If that's not just some hyped BS, that's gonna rock the planet ftw.

@Cerberus-what brand induction light were you checkin' out? Looks better than plasma to me. Still trying to figure out if the intensity is the same as HID since it's still fluorescent technology. Nice spectrum on the inda-gro.

green-light solutions. and the penitration is exactly what i'm concerned about. they were bright as shit, but they don't make em the same as a strong HPS. these guys had a few spectrums to run 64K 25K and some others, but i'll look into inda-gro.

between this and the 5-1 light schedule, i'm gonna cut my elec bill by 70% lol

edit:

AH HA! it is inda-gro, geen-lights is their distributor.

Thinish leafs, tastes just like it did 20 yrs ago.
Dank as hell when grown right, you'd never ever thank its mexi brick.
