Great recovery from semi extreme Defoliation. Also, topped for a little height control. These babies are growing crazy. Hoping for girls. Can't tell yet.
According to my sources, timing is everything for the techniques I'm using. I'm told this is a rare strain, 2nd generation seeds genetically predisposed to be female, but not femonized seeds. Can't tell, but so far, anatomically, to me, they look like girls!😉
Everything seems good. Plants look healthy. Somewhat concerned about sexing. Entering nineth week and still can't really tell males from females. I think they're all hula girls. Am I missing something ?
Entering week nine. I think they're all hula girls, but still can't really tell. Am I missing something?
Photos won't upload. Please click on this cover photo and check node photos in diary. Any experts on sex out there?
Hi there!
They are not showing sex yet, atleast it is not shown from the photos you took.
I think you need to let them grow little bit more and the plant will either grow calyxes and pistils or balls to the place you took photos of
The indoor/outdoor grow op is a lot of work, but I really like that the presumed girls are getting at least six hours of good hot sun along with the remainder of time under the lights. Still not showing sex, but I'm confident a week or so on 12/12 will bring them out. I'm sure I've got a good crop, and they're healthy for sure.
Okay, I've been following the instructions of a very experienced and knowledgeable grower...he's a pro. I'm told that this is a very rare and unique strain so I've went all out. I'm using a grow technique that he calls extreme defoliation. It's scary, but wow! Check out the pics. That's all I can say.
Running indoor/outdoor op. Is it good to spray budding plants that are in the hot sun with water? Need some different points of view. Advantages/disadvantages, Pros/cons, etc...
If u spray plants in the hot sun with water u will likely scorch leaves. May I ask why u want to spray your flowering plants well sun is bumping on em?
The girls really recovered well from the extreme defoliation. They are budding nicely, look healthy, and smell good. I'm a little concerned about the humidity in the grow room at night. I've got two fans on 'em and the air conditioner, but the humidity is high when I wake them up. I ordered an 8" vivosun duct fan to start piping it out. Hopefully that will bring it down.
5 days into week 4 of bloom stage I think I see seed pods. I tell myself impossible I watched these girls like a hawk. I'm convinced they are all females it must just be the buds forming. 3 days later, catastrophe! Every plant has seed pods and indications of hermying on me. Still nice buds, smell and look good, but seeds!
Week 5, catastrophe strikes! All plants have seed pods. Has anyone ever had their girls hermie on them with no sign of doing so? What's more, on week 4 of bloom stage? I had 13 for 13 females, and watched 'em like a hawk. I don't get it.
You're outdoors, a male a kilometer away could have pollinated her. I've also seen people mistake swollen calyxes for seed pods. If you dont actually see any seeds, this might be the case! Good luck friend.
Could light coming in under entrance door stress plants enough in Week 4 of bloom stage to cause them to hermie out and pollinate? Still got nice danky smelling buds, ride 'em out?
Seventh week of bloom stage. Seems like they're really thirsty, but I'm not really seeing any dramatic increase in bud size. A little more density, and color. They're getting close.
A few more days they're going into week 8 of bloom stage. I'm thinking this is their last week and I'm gonna flush then harvest. Anybody got any input on this? They looking ready?
8th and final week of bloom. Gonna harvest most of them. May go another few days up to a week more on a few. They're frosty, smell good, and I think they're ready. A little concerned about drying and curing. Guess we'll see what happens.
It was a lengthy grow. A lot of work. I made some costly mistakes. However, it was a great learning experience. It was also of much benefit to me to be a participant of GD. An optimal learning experience. It has been an honor, and a pleasure!
