This is what I think it is, right ?
 
I didnt mean the new budsites .. altho those look nice too :p If you zoom in .. those are pistils right ?
 
So, official update ^^


Day 42


The girls have let me in on the secret that they are, in fact, girls. May I present:

So yeah .. I'm a very happy person ^^
 
I'm amazed how well this goes .. probably beginners luck, and my second grow will be hell :p Altho, this house I live in has something with girls .. I'm the only male ... 2 daughters, my love, 2 cats .. and now the ladies .. and I guess the only male plant in this bunch was the one that died :rofl:
 
Picture 5 from the top on the left hand side of the branch almost looks like a male sac. Not possitive but maybe some more pics of that area I can see the female pistol above it so possible hermie. Just want to make you aware if it is a male sac.

I thought the same thing .. went back in there to check ..couldnt find it. I'll check again when the lights come on .. but they've just gone out, so that'll take a while :p I think it's nothing to worrie about .. I check for those every day .. would be odd to have missed that, but spot the pistils :p
 
Close-up from the other side of the suspected male sac:

I'd say she looks fine but is a little late with the pistils on this one. Anybody thinks differently ?

More pictures later perhaps ... we didnt do her workout yet. I did disolve some of that fertilizer (timerelease) into my water, and gave 'em a drink. The disolving to negate the timerelease, I hope I didnt just kill them :p

This was right before watering ;)


In a few days I'll trim them .. get rid of that bottom growth.
 
I had few die as well . I believe its just genes something wrong with the plant. tress to high on cut. I done it with watering them hard for two day then cut. also the colon jelly has a lot to do with it also. one thing plant don't get at right time. poof die.
 
Me and the girls have done our daily exersize of tucking and weaving and bending, and I think it's actualy starting to look like a scrog ;)

So far I have been able to divert most vertical growth horizontaly, but the branches needing to catch up have more or less done so, and I have quite a few budsites on the screen now. I'm also slowly starting to run out of room due to the large 6500K CFL's hanging between the plants.

As soon as I more or less finished the scrog and prune away the bottom, I'll remove those 6500K's (at least from that position) and hang all bulbs vertical. This due to their higher lumen output in that orientation. Every bit helps :p

Here are the plants a few hours after watering with disolved fertilizer, and training:

Thanks for watching !
 
So, it seems plant 2 does have some hermie traits. I already cut the balls off .. they where solid balls, green throughout. If I encounter more I'll get a close-up of one. They are going any way .. they do not have the correct shape for pistils and I'm not gonna risk it.

I will not pull the plant, given the low number of nodes and the fact that I'll prune the botom stuff anyway, she'll be fine with some extra love and attention, as long as I check closely every day .. and since that's what I'm doing anyway, I'll risk it.

Pictures in a bit.
