Well,I feel like an idiot....After stating a few days back that my plants were both girls,
I proved to myself that just because an early preflower is
shaped like a female flower,that don't make it so...
When I looked at the first flowers on my "feminized" plant,they were teardrop shaped,as opposed to football shaped(no pistils yet,though),which I read as a sure sign that I had a female...And the flowers on the plant next to it looked the same,so easy-peasy-2 females!
Well it became apparent over the next day or two that I had jumped to conclusions (something I always advise others
not to do) and it was time to adapt to the reality that I had just raised 2 fine boys....
That means that three out of my four plants were male,which seems like bad luck,even for me...
In my defense (if there even is one) Here's why I was so sure that I had a girl on my hands:
I guess you can't trust free seeds to be what they're labeled-I did not know that,but I know it now.
At least I've still got the little LoRyder2 (who is,fortunately,
still a female) -she gets the whole box to herself for a little while.
I just recieved my seed order from The Vault yesterday,so there's not going to be any real downtime for the box, and a bright side is that it's not crowded in there anymore...
Here's a final look at the boys-really a shame-they were doing
so well:
I'm going to keep a branch on the NLxBB alive,so I can harvest a little pollen,but most of him,and the whole other one are going in the greenwaste.
Anyway,that's my news for today,I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now,but at
least I learned something (the hard way,as usual)
On a bright note,my
soil gnat problem is only 1/3 of what it was just an hour ago...
See you on Monday (ish)
Thanks for looking.
