It seems like most branches are making it to the net ^^ Woohoo

 

[PlanetJ]

So ... lights on about half an hour ago, went in to check, and look here what my ladies decided they where gonna show me today:

This is what I think it is, right ?

 

[MaineSmoker]

Yep the start of many more. It only gets better from here on out. Hold on and keep us posted. Nice job.

 

[PlanetJ]

I didnt mean the new budsites .. altho those look nice too If you zoom in .. those are pistils right ?

 

[Calyx Hunter]

Congrats It's a girl!

 

[virgingrower]

The girls have let me in on the secret that they are, in fact, girls. May I present:

Plant 1

So yeah .. I'm a very happy person ^^

Bud sex

 

[PlanetJ]

I'm amazed how well this goes .. probably beginners luck, and my second grow will be hell Altho, this house I live in has something with girls .. I'm the only male ... 2 daughters, my love, 2 cats .. and now the ladies .. and I guess the only male plant in this bunch was the one that died

Rock on

Picture 5 from the top on the left hand side of the branch almost looks like a male sac. Not possitive but maybe some more pics of that area I can see the female pistol above it so possible hermie. Just want to make you aware if it is a male sac.

I thought the same thing .. went back in there to check ..couldnt find it. I'll check again when the lights come on .. but they've just gone out, so that'll take a while I think it's nothing to worrie about .. I check for those every day .. would be odd to have missed that, but spot the pistils

Close-up from the other side of the suspected male sac:

I'd say she looks fine but is a little late with the pistils on this one. Anybody thinks differently ?


Day 43

Plant 1

Plant 2

More pictures later perhaps ... we didnt do her workout yet. I did disolve some of that fertilizer (timerelease) into my water, and gave 'em a drink. The disolving to negate the timerelease, I hope I didnt just kill them

This was right before watering


In a few days I'll trim them .. get rid of that bottom growth.

 

[Grayhawk]

I had few die as well . I believe its just genes something wrong with the plant. tress to high on cut. I done it with watering them hard for two day then cut. also the colon jelly has a lot to do with it also. one thing plant don't get at right time. poof die.

 

[PlanetJ]

Me and the girls have done our daily exersize of tucking and weaving and bending, and I think it's actualy starting to look like a scrog

So far I have been able to divert most vertical growth horizontaly, but the branches needing to catch up have more or less done so, and I have quite a few budsites on the screen now. I'm also slowly starting to run out of room due to the large 6500K CFL's hanging between the plants.

As soon as I more or less finished the scrog and prune away the bottom, I'll remove those 6500K's (at least from that position) and hang all bulbs vertical. This due to their higher lumen output in that orientation. Every bit helps

Here are the plants a few hours after watering with disolved fertilizer, and training:

Thanks for watching !

 

[virgingrower]

Coming along lovely Planet J have some reps !!

It's making me want to try a scrog grow

 

[PlanetJ]

So, it seems plant 2 does have some hermie traits. I already cut the balls off .. they where solid balls, green throughout. If I encounter more I'll get a close-up of one. They are going any way .. they do not have the correct shape for pistils and I'm not gonna risk it.

I will not pull the plant, given the low number of nodes and the fact that I'll prune the botom stuff anyway, she'll be fine with some extra love and attention, as long as I check closely every day .. and since that's what I'm doing anyway, I'll risk it.

Pictures in a bit.

 

[virgingrower]

i need to check my ladies closer tomorrow.Just incase,wouldn't want a bunch of hermie seeds for my first crop,on the other hand i will have some hemp seed for fishing ha ha !!
