Sensi Star and White Russian

[Man o' the green]

your ruler is messed up,

2.5cm in an inch, 6 inch =15cm

You are right lol, this is one of those scientific ones, I'm not sure what the scale is on the left. Thanks for the catch +rep

Here are the latest pics, I decided to do top and side for all three flowering. Scale in proper inches and cm.
1 ) BS top
2 ) BS Side
3 ) WR top
4 ) WR side
5 ) SS top
6 ) SS side

More information for your amusement and mine .. here are the new vegging pix with a ruler to get some idea of real size, also bump the previous edited post w/ pix.
1) Haze Hash, w/ Moby Dick ( rear )
2) White Russian clone

I've seen some indicators on two Chocolope plants that they may be male. So I pulled out the microscope to get a closer look. Thought I would share these pix ( 20x )
I've put these two plants to the side as they may be headed for the trash. I will give them a few days more. 3 Chocolope plants left.

too early to tell for sure.

Your SS looks interesting....

 

[FireCoral]

They look like balls, but I agree that's it's early. If it were me, I'd wait a few more days just to be 100% certain. They're not gonna harm them fems within that time, so it can't hurt to wait

I have been sexing my seedlings this last week or so...... One that I thought was looking male ended up being female ...... patients pays my friend.... keep the updates coming.... I love Sensi Star

 

[Man o' the green]

How about some more pictures of one of the suspected males, a couple days later. This is 12/12 from seed under HPS, btw. 5 wks ? Almost exactly 30 cm / 12 in. Node spacing is horrible, very stretched under that light.

20x pix are of two different nodes

Q : Who cares about all this detail ?
A : Dunno, but it's fun to write up.

 

[madcatter]

who cares? the other white russian growers certainloy care so keep them coming... as for stretch at this stage... not to worry.... those girls will get fat and bushy... Yippee Ki Yea...

 

[FireCoral]

Hmmm. I'm still thinking balls. They've been under 12/12 since day 1? Dang. When did you start seeing the balls? Have any with hair yet?

And yes, the other White Russian growers care!

Here are some pix of the grow box, it's been a couple weeks, and there has been a bit of growth. Getting a little full in there, wonder if it can hold out 2-3 weeks until flowering is finished.

EDIT : I could switch to 18/6 at this point to slow down growth, but the box is not heated, would not work this time of year.

1) Outside with door cracked
2) Outdise with door open , WR
3) Looking in the door, WR
4) In the back, Indicas
5) WR bottom SS top
6) SS

When did you flip the ladies in the pictures? what are you using for lighting again? I would say you white russians have more than 3 weeks left based on pictures above...

This grow box contains 460W ( measured power ) of large CFLs, 4x45W blue and 4x65W red.
I have both a grow box for veg, and a room for flower. I'm hoping that the timing for the veg in this box will not conflict with the flowering time. These will only veg for 2-3 weeks more as that's how long I need to properly flower the current SS grow.

 

[madcatter]

You gonna be blooming monster ladies.... do you have the height? I cannot beleieve the difference in my ladies since friday... but I am not taking pictures again till this Friday....(patience) ... I cannot believe the difference between this grow and last.... hopefully mother natures hard work shows up in the final yeilds....

Ok, here are some of the few pictures of the "Super Star" from seed. ( really Sensi Star, but I won't get into that right now )
What is amazing in these pictures is that these two plants were given the exact same conditions from seed, yet they acted quite different.
How NOT to grow cannabis : nodes should not look like this - what is that, like 25 cm ?

 

[Man o' the green]

I have one definite male and 2 suspects. That leaves 2 plants to hope for girls. Here are the offending pix for dude #1 :

 

[madcatter]

Off with his nuts and that other os the worst caseof stretch I have seen in a long time, possibly ever....

 

[Man o' the green]

Off with his nuts

Agreed. All 5 of these will go. 3 Chocolope and 2 Super Star. The one SuSt that is extremely small will go, it's of no use to me even if its female. So that's 5 plants to be executed.

All indications are that the remaining 2 Chocolope are female, and at least one SuSt is a girl - that crazy tall one.

I've added a 2 pix of Sensi Star and White Russian colas, you guess which is which .. I'm

 

[madcatter]

photo 2 would be my guess but it is hard to tell in the bright lights... leaf pattern looks right...

I thought I would document my cloning process today. I have certainty that the tall, stretchy Super Star is a girl, so I made four clones and one big clone from the top. I don't have a lot of hope for the big clone, really.. I'm trying a less complicated method since it's so big, and I'm unsure about it.

But, lets say I wanted to clone :

Get ready : cloning gel, RR or RW plugs, nutrient water, clone tray and humidity dome, chopping bucket, scissors, and a razor blade.
Fill the chopping bucket and clone tray with nutrient solution, the bucket a few cm and the cloning tray to about 1 cm.
( numbers refer to pictures )
1 ) Get your plant ready
2 ) Find your cuts, cut with scissors some long stems.
3 ) Chopped plant pic
4 ) Place stems in chopping bucket, cuts underwater.
Open your cloning gel and then soak your RR or RW plugs in the cloning tray.
5 ) Cut with razor blade under water
6 ) Cut at an angle to expose inner tissue
7 ) Dip in cloning gel
8 ) Insert into a rockwool cube, inside a rapid rooter plug. ( not normal procedure for me, but works for others )
9 ) Cut with razor blade and dip remaining stems into gel
10 ) Place into rockwool plugs in the cloning tray
11 ) Cover with humidity dome and place under 24/0 with low light

Cool, now I don't have to remember how to do it.
