"Man this pic looks just like yours, on p.13 of Jorge's MJ Horticulture...
cannabis Afghanica has "...distinctive , broad, dark-green leaflets and leaves. Dense branching and short internodes, most often with long leaf stems..."
it also says 'hash plant' is a classic example of c. afghanica"
Thanks Break, I'll be checking those references out and I'll let you know if there is a match, Thanks!
Well I'm waiting to see the results hope it's great for u friend
Thanks Love1Fear I really appreciate the encouragement
Nice find & recovery!
Your girls (I have my fingers crossed for ya) are lookin' real nice Woodsman!
82 degrees isn't too warm at all IMHO. We shoot for 80 to low 80s ourselves and they are lovin' it.
This is a fun journal
Thanks Clowns for stopping in and for the nice words. My last grow with the Mazar, never got into the 80's at all. Of course I had only the 100w hps and later two 26w cfls. I think my 'high' temp is fine, it's my low temp that I would think is more of a concern at 62-63. That's what the house temp is upstairs at night.
Nice girl, c'mon!
Hey Super always nice to hear from you!
Thanks CadillacMike, please come by anytime!
Good morning Woodsman,
Your plants are looking awesome and you are an awesome dad to your plants, that was a very good job finding the heat problem as fast as you did and reacting to it. Low 80's is not too warm for them but I would not let it get much warmer than that.
On my NL which is the exact same as yours for anybody who does not know yet and mine show sex on the 7th internode from the bottom and you will probably notice the white hairs before you see the pistils at least on mine that is how I found them.
I really don't know why there cant be something started for identifying different strains, I'm growing 3 different strains and the leaf structures are all different. Also if you think about it there are many varieties of lets say Maple trees and Oak trees, I know they're not weeds but each one of them are identifiable by leaf structure, barks, trunks, canopy shapes and different colors so why can't MJ be done?
About the sexing:
Really still nothing definite this morning, but I did not get an up and close look, later today I will be up there again with a fine tuned eyeball! I think that someone up there is in charge of confusing growers when it concerns the early detection of plant sex!
Plant ID:
Like you said there are
tree ID books insect ID books,
bird ID books etc etc....I know we have some of them. I grew up looking at the bird and tree books years and years ago and as a young kid, I would not look in the insect book (hated bugs)!. You know the 'pocket' guides or like the Audubon society bird books.
With all the knowledge out there among the breeders, growers, authors etc etc , why no ID book on Cannabis Identification!
Haha you crack me up man I love reading your journal cuz i always get a good laugh
82 ain't bad though man but 75-78 would be a lot better my plants chill at about 82-86 overnight when my closet door is closed and during the day with it open they are chillin at 75-78 with humidity of about 45% and they are just killin it in growth, a good way to do both of these if you don't have a good way to bring colder air in is to grab a bucket, some newspaper, and dry ice; wrap the dry ice in the newspaper put it in the bucket and put it in your tent
i've been told it also puts off CO2 however, i have never had the equipment to be able to tell if it does or not but i definitely put this method to use and it was quite effective in fact watch your temps if you try it out cuz they drop pretty quick
But the ladies are lookin nice there Mr. Woods keep it up hope that info can help
COmmj, thanks for the good words. I like to liven things up sometimes as do many of us that visit. It makes for a more relaxing atmosphere. I have a great suspicion that after indulging, I am more apt to 'say'' things than when I am 'not'. The easy banter that goes on here sometimes and in other threads is almost like it is in person when you sit around with smoking buddies and bullsh*t . Can't be serious all the time, right!
The temps you have are strange in that your dark temps are warmer than your day temps. Are you on an opposite schedule (your lights are on at night time and off at daylight)?
If I had extra space in there, I would add a heater to the grow during my dark hours.
my box temp is usually 77 to 80 degrees(during lights on) and seems to be a good temperature. About the identification of cannabis plants based on the leaf and stem structure I am very curious to find info on that. To be able to tell the difference of plant types based on looks would be an amazing ability! Thats pro level stuff! lol. It could help me though because the past grows I had were all bagseed and all of them failed. The last one survived only to be male. Now I've got a better setup (not that much better) and I have some legitimate Northern Lights seeds. Which reminds me does any one know how to make a link for grow journals in their sig? Any way woodsman excellent grow I hope they are all females. This grow and a few others are my favorites right now. Pretty soon we could be northern lights buddies, lol.
As far as a link in your signature to your grow check this out:

I just figured someone would've come up with an ID reference 'page', thread, or book by now!
