thank you for giving help and advice on all this respect to all growers out there keep them coming
 
yes its pure female ak-47 and hybrid pure yumbolt i got them from world of seeds its my first time trying this stuff too so will put pics up nearly every day these pics dont do it justice but will put them on members gallery if you want to look and comment

I know i started my journal a bit late but could not find out how to do it at first lol but am up and running now so will keep you posted
 
Looks like your doing good, your have beautiful green leaves and thats what you want to see if your wondering about ph. Can also buy ph test strips to test out the soil. but looks like your doing fine. as far as temp goes, make sure the room feels warm to you and put your hand over the topmost part of the plant, if it feels like its almost burning your hand with light after 30seconds to a min its most likely doing the same thing to the plant. so move the lights up but if its just mellow warm you should be ok. keep up the good work.

Also if your flowering, I'd switch from metal halide to an HPS (high pressure sodium bulb) it gives you the red spectrum light you need to simulate the fall. MH is blue light to simulate spring/early summer. ;)
 
thanks jdeece i am just waiting on my lights coming should be here soon i have one light 400w hps but i still need one more so going to wait till i get tht befor i put them in or do you think i should just put it in the now
 
Your welcome anytime bro :)

do half and half, one MH one HPS at the same time to simulate the change from blue to red until you get the other light, it needs that red spectrum to flower. Will only help, but ultimately up to you to decide.

Personally I would just to cover the lumens spectrum.
 
thanks bro just as i read your first one i went ahead a put it in so just need to weqit till my light gets here. come on lights hurry up lol cheers bro did you like my pics then
 
yes, they look very seksy ;)
Can't wait to see how they turn out.

14 days into flowering and i can see them starting to bud its great lol just thot i would keep yous posted on how they are doing
 
Nice duder, they are looking quite seksy. And yes free bud is always nice. The thing about males I don't know is if you can smoke the tops. But, I do know that if you have them near any females they might sex them into producing seeds which will take down flower content as that is what the plant is trying to do, hence the creating of resin/THC.

You could keep the plants to find out how they look, because potentially you could have alot of free seeds for future growth. ;) As far as noticing when they are male or female, the male will begin making stamens, it's very easy to notice this as they start out like pod nubs and they grow outward and hang whereas the female flower (pistil) has a little hair or hairs coming out and they grow up, not out.

It's up to you whether or not to keep the males, if you have all the plants in the same area then you jeopardize all the females into creating seeds and you will have less smokables :p

The males flower faster because its their intent to get the pollen onto the female. What I have done in the past is cut the males as their pods get nice and big, and set them in a vase by them selves near a window and after a few days the pods will release the pollen (make sure you have some sort of paper or catch for the pollen to fall onto, as well as minimal air flow. that way you can sprinkle pollen on the females that you may want to seed if you feel the need/desire.

Nature always finds a way.

BTW The plants look very very good and healthy!
 
cheers man i will put better pics up l8r just not had time to get them sorted for pics lol but cheers for the comment jdeece
