Re: I am having trouble detearmening the sex of my plants, 2 weeks into flower.thank
Antics, i have looked at my lighting situation, first off im runing 12 23w/100equix(i know that dont mean much) 1/4 are 6500k the toher 3/4 of my clfs are 2700k, and they give off 1600 lumen each but i pretty sure than dont mean shit eather, i have a power strip in the middle suspeded by a piece of rope attatched to two of the screw in type hooks and a litttle liquid nails to really make sure they were not coming undo without soome trying extremely hard, so i have the power strip which has six bulb on it and hangs in between the two i have left, then my tall one has a lamp i rewired and hung upside down it takes three of the bulbs and then i have a can that i bought from a hardware store. i have thee lights coming out of this as well, I have two FEMALES !!!!that was whats was left out of the for, and truthfully in my opinion prior to knowing the sex of the four i had, i kept my two females in the damn back of the area i use, i thought the two in fornt where a little stonger and i guess it was just wishfull thinking, but what about that irony. any how so i have a taller ladie and shorter bushy lady, who is pretty evenly prepotioned.....and so is the tall one bc of when i fimed em, i have a lot of equally tall shoots on both with the exceptioin of each of there main four shoots that ought to produce the best buds on the plant, i took clones of of them a week ago, only i after i had no doubt about them being female and also bc im n week 3 of 12/12 and ive read thats a good time to take clones if u plan on taking them from a flowering mother..., i know they say the sucess rate is lower, thats why i took 6, 5 of them being rather weeker shoots, they r as likely as any to root, but the 6th one i took from what was in my opinion the better of the two just bc of vigour ( when i transplanted the short bushy one from seedingling cup to one gallon i ripped all but the one main roots attached to the stem, it took weeks for it to catch back up, but it did, and know its is a little shorter n bushier than the others, but it has a lot of budisites and the nodes arnt spaced to far apart ether... , i think its gone be my bades pending nothing happens..... would adding lights eather somehow to the sides of the closet or on the ground, i did this for a while an noticed little to no effect, but they were in veg then, when i put em on 12/12 its like they doubled in sixe within 1 week, and my tall one got so tall so so quick it blew my mind, when i put it in its 3 gallon container its in now, i could tell the taller one didnt have as good a root system as the pthers , my buddy had cut the soikd bag in half and but it in there, thinking it would be bettter thn couong it up bc it needed to be moved out the cup and at the time i had aony enough dirt for one and we did, and ever since then this ladie as been sorta finacy....i think end results probably gone be decent i hope, i am more interested in quality than quanity, since this is just for me..... as soon as i have the 300, $ which should be with the month my local hydro store is running a special 400w, hid, interchangeable , ballast and hood that is cooled somehow....anyways, that is first then i am getiting a ten, so i can set up to propper areas, i have my flower areas fairly ok, i need suggestions until i can get an hid light that it needs and for how to do what my end game will require...that and some goog genetics,. I maybe have a hid ballas hood everything but the bulb coming but it could be months and i would really like it now....i think it would reallty give me quality i am looking for.....would a 400 watt hid make a large deff on my power bill...which is low already bc i live alone,less than a100$/month.....that and what brand of tent would u recommend and also any adivise regaurding my clones would help.....i am really new...i need all the help i can get...thanks n a
