Welcome little one. :circle-of-love:
 
Thanks Sue!
I am a little worried about this one. The first single leaves look like the have little bites taken out of them. Otherwise healthy and robust overnight growth.
I hit the road in less than an hour. Big week for me. I'm gonna be gone for 4 days then home for 14 hours then gone for 36 hours. My wife/ patient will be in charge. I think it can go a couple days without attention. But she has her orders.
I hope for sunshine and pictures when I get back.
 
Have a safe trip and happy returns there KB - I did my share of traveling for work, walking in the front door coming home was always the best part of the journey. Seeded buds look delicious!

Keep it green bother! :cheertwo: lets give the little ones some cheer :cheertwo:
 
No sunshine today. Not a big fan of the pictures without the natural light so some crappy shots today. The humidity is up but the heat is not. Things look ok. it is ready to come down any time. I have purple edges on the leaves and tips all over the bud tops. The pot itself only got a little water around the edge on the side The new Auto CBG sprout is.

Here is the sprout poor thing going slow but still green finding its roots. What is it? a week old?
Looks like the leaves got nibbled at the ends...

Beautiful sugar Kelticblue, they are ripening nicely!
 
I am trying a new thing with my regular seeds based on info I got off the net. It said week 3-4 are the most important in making females from regular seeds. I have been getting 30% so needed to work on it.

"Feminised Cannabis Seeds"
Courtesy of Dutch Passion

In November 1998 we introduced our "Female Cannabis Seed". We did this after our own experiments showed that from female cannabis seed, we acquired almost 100% female off-spring.

In the meantime we are six months further on. We have received a lot of feed-back from our customers. The reactions are mostly positive! Clients have successfully produced almost 100% female off-spring. However there have been reactions from customers who found a few hermaphrodites or males plants.

Apparently environmental influences affect the sex of the female cannabis seeds as well. Because of the fact that Female marijuana seeds do not grow into female marijuana plants under all circumstances. Thus we changed the name from "Female Cannabis Seeds" into "Feminised Cannabis Seeds".

From literature and from our own findings it appears that the growth of a male or a female cannabis plant from marijunaa seed, except for the predisposition in the gender chromosomes, also depends on various environmental factors. Not only the origination of entirely male or female marijuana plants is partly affected by these environmental factors, the number of male and female cannabis flowers on a hermaphrodite plant is affected as well.

The environmental factors that influence the sex of the cannabis plant (or the flower in the case of hermaphrodites), are among other things:

The quantity of nitrogen and potassium of the seedbed. Humidity and moistness of the seedbed.
Level of temperatures.
Colour of the light used.
Length of daylight.

Stress, any form of stress, makes that more male individuals will originate from seed. Even the taking of cuttings from female cannabis plants may produce male or hermaphrodite cuttings.

To optimise the result, changes in one or more of the above-mentioned environmental factors for a certain period during marijuana growth, may be applied. During this time these environmental factors will deviate from the standard growing system for maximum harvest and quality, as described in nursery literature. The desired change(s) in the environmental factor(s) are started from the moment that the marijuana seedling has three pairs of real leaves (not counting the seed-lobes). This is the moment that male and/or female predisposition in florescence is being formed. After approximately two weeks the standard growing system can be reconverted to.

Of the 5 above-mentioned environmental factors the first three are the most practical:

Level of nitrogen and potassium of the seedbed: A heightening of the standard level of nitrogen makes for more female cannabis plants originating from the weed seeds. A lowering of the nitrogen level shows more male cannabis plants. A heightening of the level of potassium tends to show more male marijuana plants, while a lowering of the potassium level shows more female marijuana plants. A combination of a higher nitrogen level for the period of a week or two and a lowering of the potassium level is recommended.
Humidity and moistness of the seedbed: a higher humidity makes for an increase in the number of female cannabis plants from weed seed, a lowering for an increase in male cannabis plants. The same is valid for the moistness of the seedbed.
Level of temperatures: lower temperatures make for a larger number of female marijuana plants, higher temperatures for more male marijuana plants.
Colour of light: more blue light makes for female cannabis plants from seed, more red light makes for more male cannabis plants.
Hours of daylight: few hours of daylight (e.g. 14 hours) makes for more female individuals, a long day (e.g. 18 hours) makes for more male cannabis plants.
Now let me just make a few adjustments here to this. You can do whatever you want to your cannabis plants in seedling stage and early vegetative stage of growth and it will not effect your final male to female ratios. The time when things should be near perfect is in or around the 3rd to 4th week of vegetative growth.





So after getting 30% my last batch of seeds just gave me 4 of 6 females. Not proof for sure but a step in the right direction! I made sure the medium was moist, gave them mostly blue light, and tried to keep temps down.

Love it!

I have tried to pay mind to these factors more and more as I go.(new fans for heat and humidity this year) But never had it in this context. Now that I think about the male I had this year it was hot in the tent and the winter may have been on the dry side and it may have had long light days and I may have stressed it when there was a gas leak in my building, actually I know i did, i deeed.
Gonna go back and look & think.

:thanks:
 
Looking good there KB - Your patience is outstanding. :thumb: I know you wanna take a puff or 3 and those plants look soo tasty even the seeded ones. I've just popped 5 of those Auto CBG autos thanks to you! I hope my little ones grow as well as yours are!

Keep it green!
 
Love your pictures keltic. I always smile when I walk into your yard, knowing I'm in for a treat. Good Trichome shots. You can clearly see the distinctions between clear and cloudy.

Some of the most interesting plants I've grown were bag seed. There's something magical about the mystery, isn't there?

Shiggity...... :hugs: :Love: Great share my friend. I have some regular seeds I'll be able to use this information with. My Shiva Shanti ll is one such seed. How timely of you. :battingeyelashes:

No Problem BB14. I have to keep me plants short, I am sure your will be able to bring them into the destroyer strain they are descended from. Also look for the purple PCK traits.

I have high hopes. Mostly for me wife-y. I hope it is strong. Her hip is killing her.
 
That Med GOM 1.0 my daughter's using right now gives her immediate and long-lasting pain relief. She took a fall down a flight of stairs years ago and the hip gives her grief. It was the first thing she noticed the first time she vaped.


May your harvests bring your wife much relief. :circle-of-love:
