Strange phenomenon or genetic mutation?

Still to early for me to tell for sure. You still have plenty of time to keep an eye on the plant though. You know what to look for, right ?? :weed:

I am with Foothills... Still to early!

Looking great though!! bongsmilie I love it when the tops start to change!!!! Bummer about the good deal on the light. Ya, you don't need something that was tossed together. Which one are you looking at now??

beautiful sunrise! Yours looks all warm and fuzzy and mine looks all cold and frosty :peace:

Ah I see "Triploid plants bear flowers, but these flowers cannot be fertilized, because the odd numbers of chromosomes are unable to pair up properly. The plant can still be pollinated and will still bear fruit, but because no fertilization occurred, the fruit will not have seeds" So it's not a trait, but a genetic defect.
But if you induce hermie it may produce seeds correct? I would love to get a hold of one...

Yes sir...sure do!! I hope your right...but I'm 90% certain. Not a very good focus on that pic. They say these triploids are usually males. The other two plants are quite certainly female though so I won't cry...my space would be overcrowded with 3 anyway...

I COULD be mistaken...and if I am GREAT!! But this plant has more balls than a football teams locker room!! :razz:

I already ordered my new light. Jumped on Amazon as soon as I saw the pics of that rigged up light setup!! Hahaha!! I wanna grow weed not burn my house down!! I got a dimmable 400 watt with digital ballast, cool tube and reflector. It's the Apollo which I guess is a cheap brand but 1) it has a 1 year warranty 2) I want to grow a couple plants at a time so I'm confident it will earn it's keep! :)

Its looking like it's a male...but I'm going to give it some more time to see. Would the quote you mentioned suggest that a male cannot pollinate?

I am thinking it may mean triploids can only pollinate triploids. I am not certain, though I would totally try.

Sweet! I am happy with my Apollo brand ballast so far. I will see how the Thunder brand is in a few days. So far the two ploids I have flowering are female... The picture is hard to see. It would be a real bummer to pull that one out of there. A few more days should give you a better Idea of what it is. What are your plans if it is male? I know you don't have a bunch of room to separate them and collect the pollen.

Fire is always a concern... Speaking of fire.... Is your electrical supply safe? You don't have a pile of extension cords and power strips laying on the carpet right? I ask because you are starting to up your game and are going to start using more power as time goes on.

Oh... and hurry up with the cabinet already.... I am sure we all want to see what you do with it :peace:

Im not in a hurry to pull it. I think I'll set up another closet if it is a male...I just NEED to see it finish SOMETHING!! :lol: It's way too cool to chop and toss I think...I also have the three clones I took from it and I THINK they are rooting!!

I currently run 2 extension cords for my CFL's and fan...both have power strips attached and they are sitting on the floor of my grow box...not on the carpet. I WILL NOT be doing this with new setup. The wall it will be on (west) has an outlet...window unit gets this one. North wall outlet will be for exhaust fan, south outlet for light...I may have to upgrade breaker for that room but maybe not...we shall see... The cabinet is already wired (for computer, printer, lights etc but I'm sure it won't suit my needs...:lol:

That is awesome!!! LOL!!! Now you see it, now you don't!

I am glad to hear you are watching your electrical needs. I would really hate to read that there was a fire and you and your young one had no home...

How long ago did you cut your clones? I usually see roots after about 12 days or so.

Looking good!!!! :bigjoint:

I took the cuttings a few days before I flipped my lights...that would be about 10 days ago. HOWEVER, I THINK I forgot to take them out of my box before closing it up for dark cycle...I'll find out when I get home, was a rough morning...tossed and turned all night :(

I think the reason I saw them (pistils) and then couldn't find them is because of the amount of new growth...just had to look a little deeper to find them. But the one plant is getting her bloom on for sure!!

The cabinet is officially under renovation...media storage cabinet coming out...roll out for keyboard coming out...lighting coming out...shelves and dividers coming out. Basically gutting it. I may not even have to cut holes for intake or exhaust...already there. But we'll see once I have everything together and figure out the best layout...:)
