I agree... and not one white pistil to be seen.

Update. I had a funeral for the last plant. He is cremated and will be remembered for being my first male plant.

Still have one that i cant tell yet, I'm thinking its a male as well. Signs seems to lead me to believe that it will be a male as well. Shame, its the heartiest plant that I have. Nothing i can do about it now. Will post updates as i find new information.

As well. i have calibrated my PH pen and will use that in the future.

Males often times are the tallest and healthiest in the room, because they reach maturity just a little faster.

Ya. I saw that somewhere before and was hoping this time it was wrong. Ill post some picks when it becomes more developed.

I was guessing this one would have show it's sex long before the others, being male and all, but not knowing if it's even the same strain makes guessing like this impossible.

yep, but remember early on when I told you that you would be certain before it was time to go to flower? Now you can see why I said that, and not to stress over this.

I understand and am enjoying this learning process.

Thanks again for sharing your wisdom.

Just paying it forward my friend... I can never repay what this community has done for my family by teaching me how to heal my aunt and my father.

I have also been given some seeds (thanks @SabbyDoo ) . Colombian gold and Purple Zen Berry. Regular seeds. non feminized.

Will also be trying to clone shortly. Never had time to make a "bubble cloner" yet.

 

[SabbyDoo]

I hope your Colombian gold grow as fast as mine are lol
Can’t wait to try the zen either !!!! Lol

So 4 it is. Delighted to have 4 females.

Also watered to runoff in each.

So I’m guessing I can flip these girls whenever I want now because there showing there pistols. Should I wait longer for any reason? I know they will still gain hight, is there anything else I should be expecting?

 

[Emilya Green]

as soon as you are sure they are established in their final containers, and they are as complicated as you wish them to be for the yield you are expecting, then you are ready. It sounds like you and I will be flipping at about the same time. I was looking at my girls this morning before work and realized that they are rapidly sucking up the water that I just gave them 2 nights ago... they are ready!

 

[twnewell]

I’m debating re potting into my fabric pots. I still have 2 to make, and that’s no big deal, just wondering if it’s worth it. I’m not looking for a high yield. With that said the last male I had was the full of the container it was in. Do you think repotting is mandatory because once they flower they will create more roots and become root bound?

 

[Emilya Green]

Once the stretch of the beginning 2 weeks of flower is over, so is the expansion of the roots. The purpose of veg is to build the roots... the purpose of flower is to use those roots. So no, if you flip now, repotting is not mandatory... if you vegged for a couple more weeks though, you probably would need the bigger container.

 

[twnewell]

I understand. In that case I think I’ll be flipping sooner rather than later. I’m thinking one more feeding. Then switch to 12/12.

That is my plan too... one more wet/dry cycle and then I switch to 12/12 lights and the flowering watering schedule

 

[twnewell]

Should I be trimming the leaves of the bottom 1/3 of that plants now? Or should I wait until after my last feeding?
