Getting worse. Tested runoff - ppm 400. Dont know if that's too much. Flushed twice. Fed at 40%. Started a foliar spray with epson salt, thinking this is a Mag deficiency.

Can't figure this out. Feeding epson salt mix - 1/4 Tsp /gal. Also give a foliar spray with some nutes, and 5 drops of superthrive. End of week - flush again, test runoff - ppm - 140. feed nutes at 70%.

Much better. needed to transplant to 3gal fabric pots. Add Azos/Mykos to bottom of root ball , then top off with soil mix. Keep up with foliar spray.

this week, give a heavy fimming, defoliation and LST. Took 2 days and a good feeding for her to turn all her branches up again toward the lights. that never gets old to me.

After some more research, I've decided to keep feeding VEG nutes for the first two weeks of flower, to promote a good stretch. After a rocky start, this girl is doing great.

Still doing good. Quick question, the second 2 pics are of a pineapple haze I've had as a mother for awhile. Are those seeds that are forming, or the beginning of some flowers? I've never had males, nor pollen at anytime.

Put into flower last week. Doing good. Yes I know that it's not getting enough light because of adjacent plants, but I consider the two middle plants in each flower tent to be bonus plants. There's a chance it got sexed, but I don't know what it would exactly look like if it was. If you know of any good photos of a newly sexed plant, please consider leaving a link so I can take a look.

Buds still forming well. Plant is very low from topping and LST. I know it's a bit cramped in the tent. Still just figuring things out. QUESTION for another Candida I harvested today. Look at the pics and let me know if you think those are seeds. I was trying to sex this plant from a Pineapple Haze plant. Thanks. Also, if they are seeds, do I need to dry them out, or peel off the skin and store them.

Very low canopy because of the topping/LST. But looking decent. Definitely sexed from my Pineapple Haze, like another plant I just harvested. Pulled about 500 seeds to store - Candida/Pineapple Haze hybrid. Trying to pop those seeds at the moment.

She didn't produce a lot of weight, but I'm still content with NOT killing my plants. I don't smoke, so I made resin. Takes quite a bit to feel the effects. Not sure if that's normal.

At the moment, all the branches are covered with them, so I'm wondering if this is how that particular strain starts flower. Other online pics don't show this at all, so I'm curious. Kale - I'll try squeezing tomorrow, and let you know. Justright - I'm fine with seeds, as I want to harvest seeds generally from all the strains eventually. I don't know how it could be seeds, since I've never had pollen anywhere. Maybe pollen sacs.

That’s a male plant and those are pollen sacs. Be wise to remove it from your tent in case they open and your females get ruined. Don’t squeeze em in that space. Pollen gets airborne easy.

@Felixcommi, if any females got sexed, would the resulting seeds be a hybrid of candida and pineapple haze?
Felixcommi
Felixcommicommentedweek 126 years ago
Yeah they would. You would likely be one of the first to mix those two. Could be interesting.
justright
justrightcommentedweek 126 years ago
I would say yes they are seeds. Sorry for the bad news

I just found you had a second grow here. These girls are looking better. I am not trying to tell you how to grow. Looking at your plants. I would have put them in there final pot after week one., you would have some pretty good sized plants now. They were more than ready at that point. Once you transplanted, they had room to grow again. I am here every couple days. Feel free to give me a yell any time. if I can't help you with some thing. I know a lot of friends that could 😀 I think I will start a new diary for some of my other plants I have going. Now that I can post in here again lol You are doing good. Once I get my GS plant up. I will tag you. I fought with it for over a month before I got it to go. It was terrible looking for a while. To much experimentation on my part.

Congrats on the unique seed haul!

I could be wrong but those look like pollen sacs to me. Usually, the buds are a bit bigger before seeds start forming. I would definitely remove the plant from the tent to avoid ruining your other plants by pollinating them. One thing you can do to test if it's a pollen sack or seed is to squeeze one of them between your fingers, if its a seed it should feel a little hard, if its a pollen sack it should flatten and break apart really easily.

i don't think they sexed, even though it was covered with pollen. too bad.
the end.
