Another 2 weeks still left for stretch, do you have a ladder in your grow box lol. Will you be doing the whole leaf stripping at 21 day

Lols yeah I do have a ladder...hahaha. However I found that under the LED lights the plant don't stretch nearly as much as they say with HPS. My previous grow the plants barely stretched more than half the length unlike the doubling in length I expected. And it was more sativa plants. So hopefully they dont stretch another meter....

I can lower the 2 big middle plants if need be. And yeah will be doing a leaf strip but may be on 2 weeks. I'm trying out that Grand Master Level's topping and stripping technique. He strips the whole plant at day 14 I think, just need to go check my notes again. I'm trying out his techniques as it's aimed at indoor grows and maxing out your available space. It's done a great job so far in levelling the tops without any LST and its produced a large number of potential colas. The bigger plants on the right and the middle were only topped once way back in the beginning but all the lower branches are at the same height as the top ones now.

Luckily nothing that major, just a very long time for maintenance. It's not the best but I don't mind the lights being out for that long. My DWC will be buggered after 7 hours of no air though so grabbed a small ups to run the air pumps.

Be a tough sell convincing the Missus that I need a generator to run the room and not the house...
 
Lol yea I don't have that issue to deal with .

Your plants should do fine! Your right about the air though, glad to see your taking care of them .
 
Thanks guys!

So bad news / good news time:

Bad news: The cheese plant is definitely a boy. Good news: A mate is growing some cheese outdoors (ready in Feb) and we can pollinate some for more seeds!

Bad news: The better looking DWC plant is trending towards male. Good news: The other plant just popped some hair so with 2 female plants I going to keep at this grow!

Now if one of the swazi plants could show as female that be even better!
 
Hope she turns female for ya .. pennywise will be doing a video of how he collects pollen ..

Thanks clearly your input helped turn the tide, the swazi is a lady! Here she is re-potted. Only 2 tops but that will be enough for a couple of good smokes:

How many plants you got on the go bro lol
Click to expand...

Not enough....hahaha well my grow space is setup to take about 6 plants. 2 in the DWC and 4 in soil pots. About 20L pots.

I'm not sure yet how to get all 6 plants female when growing form regular seeds so I'm popping extra plants to hope for the best. So for this run I have 3 females so far but 2 spots will be empty due to males.

Need to do research on how to grow regular seeds and hunt for females
 
It's about how good of veg I believe . If there wasn't much stress and also genetics as well. This is from me and what I've seen
 
Nice man a couple good ladies is all a guy needs ;) hoping they can turn out some good bud for ya! It'll be interesting to see you grow that male outside:P
