I have been reading more and more about the whole nanner thing. Maybe everything is just moving too fast. What the hell do I know?Stow...did you ever find out about ways to influence gender? I wonder if it's just snake oil. I've never had this male ratio UNTIL I grew in the cold. What pisses me off is over half my popped B gear seems to be tall and vigorousSeems to be the nanner theme.
Thanks Red. I just want to get back to some good soil and teas. That's it. I have a ton of my soil mixes left. I need to get some tea on them and get them cooking again.From the looks of things, you know too much. Don't know how you stay humble
I couldn't take it anymore. I went off on his old lady a bit and got banned. Long story, but the place is nothing more than a for-profit biz slinging his beans and his "build-a-soil" website. Nothing wrong with that per se, but you can't speak your mind or deviate one inch from their approved methods without getting a finger wagged at you. Screw that.
It's genetics. I don't think you can influence sex using temperature. That shit is coded in it's DNA.Stow...did you ever find out about ways to influence gender? I wonder if it's just snake oil.

I agree. I bought into the cold temps = more females thing for a minute... But this round I germed my seeds in moist paper towel on top of my internet router and they accidentally got WARM. I mean TOO warm. Once germed, they went into my veg cab with canopy-level temps around 77-80. Nevertheless, I ended up with at least 6/10 fems, possibly 7/10.
you can force a male by adding more 630 and 660 red . Having heavy red dominant light early on.. The plant will think its fall and get tripped out sort of speak.. Its not 100% but last time I tried to force males. I got 3 males out of 5 doing that same thing.

Java...the picture didn't load.This was not supposed to be re-Veg related...it was supposed
to just be a normal clone!
But, from my thread:
BTW, one thing that I am finding about the Soma NYCD is
that its clones seem to explode into flower.
They were not flowering when I took them YESTERDAY, and I have
the bulb over the seed tray going 24/0 (where the rest of the Veg
closet goes off for 6 hours a day).
Check out these two clones in the tray:
Now, check out the mother, potted for flowering:
ZERO flowering reaction to the taking of the clone.
Interesting stuff, though annoying, as I am sure that this
is not going to help the clones root. I am hoping that they
still will over the next few weeks, and the BST will keep the
moisture level correct for me in the meanwhile.
Onward and upward,
JD
P.S. The bulb is a 6500 K, bought to stimulate mushroom fruiting,
but it should have a very good "early in the year" spectrum, IIRC.
Too lazy to take pics now, but my infamous SSDD is reveg'n before rooting?! I'll take pic in morning. Might have to quit clogging Gand's cool thread, and post up with the rest of the noobs.
