BK/SSH/JTR x Bagseed

yea it should be fine, i dont think thats the case, might just be taking longer then normal.

but thats what i have been told cause i was asking around so i can plan thing's out better if i get a male, which im hoping on

water in is 6.0ph and runoff is 5.2...should i increase ph in to have runoff somewhere closer to 5.5?

In soil you would want a pH of at least 6.7, so i would raise it

im in coco

oh, shit my bad i didn't see it posted at all

thanks man problem fixed....i forgot to add ph up or down to water and watered all 5 gallons...i just flushed it out with plain phd water then again with nute phd water. they got a good flush anywho. post some pictures sicc

lol tomorrow is week one of veg,

here is my last plant

they havent yet but since i found out he was a male i pulled him from 400 watt and now he is under much lower lighting. this may be a big part of it. do you think this will be ok? how much light should male be under 12/12? ive heard you can go less.

AEV - both the males and the females will slow their act of reproduction if you take them out from under the HID. Cannabis growth rates are directly proportional to the amount of available lumens. It's not that detrimental to the males, because you need just enough pollen to do the job. Just realize it's going to take 3-4 weeks to get what you want if not under HIDs. The females you want to just leave under the HIDs so that the seeds definitely have enough light to mature properly and in time. The more light the better, always always always. You have to balance what light you need with what light you have available, and allocate your resources properly depending on what point in the life cycle your plants are in.

As far as the Ph requirements of coco-coir, you should be aiming for an input water Ph of 6.5 for coco. Technically, it just needs to be in the 'acceptable range' of 6.3 - 6.8, but I have heard that 6.5 seems to be about best.

SICC - What strain is that? What type lighting do you use? My Super Skunk grows in that exact same shape....

Oh and sorry about those Eagles yesterday, I don't know what the hell happened with that!

haha i know man, it sucks be we got another shot

Its actually a Bagseed LA Confidential i from a collective out here in cali, didnt go purple until like 5 1/2 weeks into flowering, but it was during that cold spell we had going, temps were pretty low, but heard LAC had some purple pheno's in it. i found a total of 3 seeds in like a QP, over a month or two early 09

Sweet deal bro, now that's some bagseed worth growing!

That would explain the growth structure, I think LAC is like Afghan x Kush or something like that. The Super Skunk is Skunk#1 x Afghan I believe.

sicc beautiful plant mang. sure like to try some of her. do you just grow one plant at a time? nice surprise when they turn purple eh? my bubba kush did this around week 5-6 most purple dissapeared after cure. not sure why.

dcbeard, i understand what you mean by use the proper light for the proper task. basically prioritize. i am doing this. i am keeping all females under 400 HPS and male is under flouros. balls are really swelling up. getting close!

That run was my first go growing in a party cup, inspired by a member on this site so now im doing three since i liked my results

right on i will give a go at one of these...next time...near 12/12

Cool, cool. You could also just leave the male in the flower room with the stronger lights until you see the first pod open, then just move it under the flouros. That would speed things up a bit and save you some time.

yea i was scared about accidental pollination, never seen a male flower before. playing it safe the first time around, i still want some sinsemilla you know!

It's all good man. I was the same way the first time around in pollinating too. But just know this - a male that's just barely starting to throw pollen isn't going to mess up your crop that much at all. I used to think that if one pod opened up the whole lot would be seeded. Well, after purposely seeding my plants with pollen by hand AND having a throwing male in there for a couple of days too long, let me tell you seeds are not THAT easily made. lol I didn't get near the amount of seeds I thought I would, which is actually a good thing since I did get enough. But it's a lot less scary than what you prob think right now. I almost wish I would have gotten more.

Just remember this - 1 pollen grain to 1 pistil = 1 seed. So if one pollen sac opens and releases, oh I don't know let's say 50 grains of pollen, AND all 50 grains meet up with and land on a waiting pistil/calyx, you're looking at 50 seeds. Not a whole lot really, especially when you consider that some of that pollen won't even hit a pistil and even then when it does it could be non-viable.

so if i want around 20-30 seeds should i try to pollinate a whole branch?

a couple pods are just barely opening...should i remove these and let them begin to dry?

You can put a bag over the pods, then tie it around the stem and let the pollen fall into the bag, i think thats whats DC is doing, i may try something like this as well

or you can do what FDD did and cut them off and put em in a container to dry

right on i will try both....only a couple have opened. plant doesnt look like he is ready to dish out some good pollen. i just picked off the two and put them in a jar.

Sounds good man, i will be learning from your example

best of luck with everything
