Twnewell's First Grow

[SabbyDoo]

Good night to all. Hope you let me know your gender soon.

They look good bro... hopefully my autos and the others make it and grow as good as these.... we shall c haha

These seeds were slow going in the beginning. Years old, just kept in a pill bottle in someones garage until i got them. Differently hit some bumps starting up, learning curve for someone that never grew a thing (besides a beard, and not a good one to be honest), But look at these plants taking off. Amazing what some good advice from great people will do. Thanks to all you that have helped bring these plants to life and keep them there.

We are just giving advice... you are doing the work and making all the decisions. Congratulations! They are thriving!

Picture day here today. Worried about sex and pollinating females. Going to post picks here and in another post. Please feel free to make your guesses. I know its early but i'd rather try to know now and eliminate the males rather than loose the whole crop.

 

[twnewell]

Again, please if you notice anything leave a comment. I may pull out the Nikon for the next round of picks. Higher quality.

 

[Emilya Green]

Unless you walk away from your plants for several days and take your eyes off of them, it is going to be almost impossible for any males to surprise you. They show sex last, so you usually have most of the females tagged before any spewing of pollen can even begin to occur.
Don't stress over this... as soon as you have seen this happen the first time you will see how easy it is to make this important determination in time to avert any disaster. Just keep checking every day, as you already do.

 

[twnewell]

I’ll do that. Just don’t want any sudden surprises. I’m definitely going to make everyone here pissed by having to load all the picks I’m going to be posting over the next week or so.

My morning update plus a note.
I watered with 750~800 ml of 1/2 strength nutes this morning. We’ll see how they handle it today/tomorrow. If they handle it we’ll I’ll go to full strength next watering.

 

[twnewell]

You tell me now that these plants don’t like 1/2 strength nutrients. Wow. What a difference.

 

[Emilya Green]

I dont see any tip burning... do see some downturned tips though... go easy... make that decision on full strength at the time... remember, we are still early in veg and their needs are still small. Your roots are getting stronger though... it won't be long before they can handle it.

 

[twnewell]

That’s just 7 hours time difference. Amazing.

 

[twnewell]

How long will it take to show tip burn?

 

[Emilya Green]

right away.. certainly within hours

 

[twnewell]

Oh wow, That fast? Crazy. Learning so much. These are amazing plants.

 

[Emilya Green]

They really are

 

[twnewell]

Because I wouldn’t have time to repot in the next week or so, and I needed to use the smaller pots for my other plants I decided to do it today.

Roots looks good right?

 

[Emilya Green]

looking good, still a bit early for my tastes, but you addressed that... sometimes real life forces us make these decisions

 

[1969gtx]

Looking nice!

 

[twnewell]

Just a morning update. All looks well. Will have to top again in 2 or 3 days.
Little clone update.
I suck at it.
I cut the tops, place in rooting hormone, then place in peat pellets. Then place the pellets inside the humidity dome.
They all died.
Any tips on this process for a moron?
