Captn explains sex determinations

>>>When does the plant show sex? I tried to gather info about pre flowers for last grow, but that bag seed plant was showing me 2 split hairs before it grew out into a leaf/branch.

6-8 weeks from seed. I've never had one take longer than that to show pistils.

>>>Can you show me how to screen genders with pre flowers or whatever other method there is to determine gender early?

Here are girls:

Here's a boy (actually this is a girl with a pollen sac):

See the difference?

>>> This means I'd like to contribute something new and since you've already perfected Simple Hydro, there's not much I can do to improve it.

Don't be so sure about that. Many people look at my stuff and are overwhelmed with the idea of one huge plant. There is one grower like me for every 100 people who have similar cabinets like yours. Your grow is already attracting a lot of attention. Your grow is much more "do-able" for many people.

>>>In my opinion Capn', you got this method on lock! I mean to say that your simple hydro with the Live environment is the best I can hope for. Maybe DWC some day, but not any time soon.

Thanks! I suspect you and AG will convert over a lot of "cabinet dirt growers" after seeing your grows.

>>>The top growth on the other hand may be too much for me to handle.

Top it and bend it but don't torture it. ha ha ha

>>>Have you come across any experience with the White Widow/Skunk#1 genetics? Everyone that is growing it (there's quite a few b/c Herbies gave this strain away for a while) reports explosive growth rates

WW yes. You will have a good time with it then. There are a lot of good ones out there. You will have a hard time finding a faster veg plant than TGA Ace of spades. Fastest I've seen.

>>>I think the best course of action is to NOT top just yet, continue to mull this over and await instruction on how to spot male v female in early veg (if possible). Irregardless of what top growth method I choose, I will try to adhere to my schedule and finish for V-day. The sticky icky might help get me some somethin from the fairer gender anyway (I'm single).

Ok man sounds good. If you change your mind and decide to grow a regular plant, now is the time to top it.

Walk to to a girl and say, "I grow weed"; she will take her top off instantly. It's kind of like being in a rock band, being a motorcycle racer, being good with a bow staff, chicks dig it.
