Regular or feminized that is the Question, whether having to sex your plants or not? This dilemma is a matter of personal preference and is based on the best on the seeds available to the growers budget and available seed banks the person has access to.
Same here. It isn't a matter of choice. I do not have multiple rooms to grow out a bunch of seeds and pick the best. I guess I could pull a "Ziggy" and grow from 12/12 or less.
Can't you spot them in veg if you let them go long enough? Just a gallon or two of soil and pack em in the veg room let them grow till they show preflowers. The only thing with that is having to veg longer. I guess it depends on the size of your veg room. Have a great day Duggan and all!
Well said DugganHere's the thing ,....when space is very limited, and i mean limited, lets say i grew four larger plants....as i do now, but all four from reg. seeds , vegging them for two months , going from one gal. pot right into the 26ers for an additional month of veg. All four plants are filling the space, still, no sign of boys....then they show ,...but wait, it's not spotting them, that's easy,...it's letting them grow , sucking the life out of me, taking up very valuable space. Now lets say only two are girls....in the same pot....!!!!! No thanks , just can't risk that happening. This time around , i got lucky!! with the MLI's. Boy did i get lucky,...OR we're on to something with sexing seeds. I'm at 100% now using it...well...2 for 2!
One of the fun things about growing is ...it's like giving the same job to 10 different electricians, and they all have their own way to get it done! They all do the job correctly,..everything looks good, works great, and is safe,...but took 10 different path's to get there.We are all having a blast producing some of the nicest , cleanest herb there is. Growing , and being part of our group we have here is such a bonus! We are for ever picking up lil tips and quirks from the gang,...not only about the "kit" but life, as well!
Have an awesome night you guys!
I feel really similarly about this. I've worked with plenty of people that feel there is only one correct way to get things done. I've always felt that if you get the job done then the steps you took to get there don't matter so much. You do really well in your set up and its because you do what works for you. I was surprised you put both reg seeds in one pot. I figured you would separate them so that if they were both males you wouldn't have wasted all that soil in the one pot. Maybe something to think about if you run a few of them again.
Hey yeti, yes , i had thought of that , and was going to do it that way but changed my mind. I wanted to keep them together , at the front of the garden , where i could keep a very close eye on them. When they get big like this Yeti , it 's almost impossible to really care for the back two. I know they were both from Fem seeds , so i should be OK, it was the unknown factor with the regs.and the MLI's. i was worried about. Anyhow , Yeti, i'm bagged brotha, cheers.Well said Duggan

Ya, with the back pot , I have to roll the front pot over about 8" or so, , remove the space heater then I can just get in there enough to stretch out and water it (the back pot). If I had to , I could get right back in there but it's a real pita (not you Major,HAHA!) Would love to have a space I could actually work in , like be able to walk around and really prune and care for them a lil better but, but!
Thanks a bunch my friend! It was fun growing this time around...I just love growing this Maple Leaf Indica. Would have bin nice to have some clones of these two! Oh well, I'm goin with Kosher Kush (two) and maybe two more MLI's.,next round, not 100 % sure yet! Cheers BAR! and thanks for stopping by brotha!
High 36. I'm not sure about different strains in the same pot but as long as they're the same strain from the same batch of beans or clones from the same mother they grow in harmony. No one dominates unless they have different start dates. Then each plant is asking for different amounts of each nutrient at different times. We've grown numerous plants pot sharing. At the moment we have 7 plants in a 3gal Smart Pot... Pushing the limits.
