I like the story of herstory.
The males will make some more room for the females as they will need more real soon.
Wow looks a little cold there for this Hawaiian, nice grow closet and set up.
Looking forward to seeing the little ones get all grown up.

I decided to change to water this morning because it was building up algae on the bottom because of all those days it was exposed to the light before I blocked it out. And yes it was a pain in the ass! So there is a solution. Get yourself a drill powered fluid transfer kit. You would stick the hose in the hole that you stuffed the zip lock bag in. Then you use an electric drill to operate the syphon and it pumps the water out and also fills it back up. So you don't have to remove the reservoir.

Seriously, a drill powered siphon? That's gotta be one of the coolest things i've heard of... I have to get one, because yea changing the water in the res SUCKS!!

dweeder, i'm only halfway through reading this thread, and i am blown away! Looks like a freaking jungle! Great job.

Well tonight was a sad night, we found 5 more male plants see:

DJB cut the roots off before I could capture them on film.



Atleast their's a little breathing room for the rest

That is alright they will certainly need and require that extra room now that the males have come out of the closet. No pun intended.

Hello,
its a bummer about all the males your getting,i like your set-up!
How tall do you want them to be?cause its a tall cabnet...

Thanks for your sharing

Are you doing a sea of green?

 

[Dweeden420]

Good morning all, just a quick update before work, we have 8 plants left in the cabinet and at this point only 2 confirmed female and atleast one more than likely a male. Check out the extra small leaf growing upwards on top of the others in one of the pics:

Yea, getting rid of beautiful plants really does suck, but it is making much needed room for the rest. We switched the lights with the largest plants being about 12" so we are hoping to keep the rest at about 36"-40" at maturity.

As far as Sea of Green method, I don't think that's what was planned. We didn't use feminized seeds so we filled all the holes and are hoping for 50% females. We actually discussed topping or LSTing the 2 large confirmed females which are both Tatanka.

Ok so now I'm addicted. I love learning about weed. Here's the latest. This is day 29:

2 Females are about 22" Tall (not sure about other 6)
Both Tatanka, front left and rear right.

ppm's between 1120-1310
ph 5.8-6.2
temperature around 84 degrees, 74 with light off
light 12/12 for 8 days

WOW very nice density on the nodes. They are gunna produce nice buds. Great work thus far, so did you change to an HPS from the MH bulb or what?

[Bee23]

Dweeder it's so much fun watching this grow! They look healthy and voluminous.

 

[Dweeden420]

Thanks Bee, I'm having a bunch of fun too. It's day 33 (wow it's gone quickly)

We have 3 comfirmed females and 4 unknowns. DBJ has tied the large Tatanka Females Far Right back and Far left front. They are nice. We have also backed off on the nutes a bit. Around 1000 ppm. Big Bloom, Grow big and Open Sesame. We seem to have had something screwy happen on our last reservoir change. Some of the leaves got rust colored spots and got kinda hard. I'm not sure if it was because of the ph or the nutes themselves. So we did another reservoir change of Sunday using distilled water and bringing the nutes down a little. New growth looks good.

 

[Dr. 215]

Coming along nicely. Great job thus far.

 

[alientic]

Very nice plants dweeder! I'm excited for you!

 

[Young Jay]

Wow nice. I've been thinking about getting the mini cab.
