looking grand yorkie lad maybe a little hungry for N though. going to be some fucking trees when they finish. how much roof space you got?
Aye it's a mix of the way the flash hits the leaves and a little N hungry, they're getting a good feed today when the lights come on.

I've about 2 feet of space above the bigger one but it isn't stretching really due to me cutting the tip out and the supercrop (3 places) you advised the week before flipping.

There's plenty of space left above the smaller one left natural so no danger there.

It's defo going to be a squeeze when they start packing on the weight though, I'm thinking about getting that double tent now I get my first pay from the new job tomorrow and finishing them in that before it gets too late.

It's the Grape Kush x Psycho that's taking the space to be honest, if I ditched that then the tent is actually a perfect size for the 'Two Tokes' to finish in even if they turn beasty.

I may end up having to build an extension on the side if I don't get the bigger tent yet, lol.

Don, yorky or anyone about these BB testers i got,

i only got the one grow tent so with 8 regs, whats the best way to go about getting all females and males showing sex and seperated and then being able to carry on vegging the females while the males are thrown.

do i just plant them all, keep the light on 18/6 for a week or 2 , flip to 12/12 hope they show in around the same time then throw the males and carry on vegging the females? would this be the way?

i always just grown from fem seed..

Chuck em all in on 18/6 then just wait and see what you get, you can veg em both together for as long as you like and can usually tell both sexes after about 3 weeks under at least a 400w bulb.

The problems only come once you flip 12/12 with males and females together.

pretty much what u said 2time, ive only sexed plants a few times fuck that lol vegged them up for a while then flipped and kept a eye out for male-female signs, pretty shore tho a plant will show enough signs of sex with just a decent veg so could veg them up properly see most ya fems then flip but would still need to keep an eye on em.

right thanks chaps, no 12/12.

i normally start all my beans in small pots then transplant to finals ( 10 - 11L) after a week or 2, as i know they all females. so with these 8 i'll start them all in 1L pots and hope thats enough root space to get me to the sex showing part.

will be keeping an eye out for stretchy ones , thanks dst.

if you have the equipment, i would clone each plant and flower the clones, the mothers can then be sexed without being put into flower, plus they'll still be vegging while the clones root and show sex.

ps. if going down the clone road, be diligent with the labelling.. i once ended up with a tent full of cheese when it should have been white rhino. lol

So I decided to conduct a little experiment, I took a few clones from 4 different plants (3 strains) and dropped them into my fogponic cloner.

The cloner then chucked in the corner of my spare room with no light source other than the fact that the door to the room is open.

They've been sat there for about a month now with no water/feed/PH change (the PH has risen to 7.1) just to see how long they would last or even if they would root at all.

This is what they look like now.....

.....most are dead and none have roots but look just how hardy and strong the 2 bigger 'Two Toke Killer' cuts are that's left!

Just as healthy as the day I put them in!

They're going under a light later to save em.
