Hello. This is the end of week 6 and the beginning of week 7 of veg.
Had something interesting happen this week. I watered the plants earlier this week and thought I would check their sex as I go.
The first 6 plants I checked were females. The 7th, 10th and 12th plants were males.
I got 10 females and 3 males out of 13 plants. Wow, that's different. It's usually 50/50 or close to it.
I once started 10 seeds of Northern Lights and got 9 males.
I was hoping for 5 or 6 females, not 10.
I'll have to get the other females in my main grow room when I'm finished the Double Chocolate in about 5 weeks.
I've topped all the females and I'll try to get these females in larger pots soon. I've left the males untopped to see if they might develop into something I can use.
Traits I'm looking for in the males are, Shorter, with the rub test, the stickiest and smelliest, I'm also looking at the leaves for that Afghanica type of shape.
If I can find a good male, I'll start to stabilize this strain. The seeds will be a F2 cross, which has the most variety.
Keep Growing Straight.
Chuck.
Hi Buddy. I've been growing for about 29 years now and have been learning the whole time. I've tried my hand at making seed in the last few years. I didn't make any last year because I didn't find a male that I liked. Through this site, I've sent some seeds around the world to people who have asked. The Pink Kush holds a big place in my heart. I found it at a grow op bust about 29 years ago. It turned out to be a world class strain. I'm so glad I saved it. Chuck.
