hey the little one in the pics ( not the ak48 ) is a girl woop woop !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

will post pics when i sort out the descent camera with macro mode !!!

Why not buy a 150W or 250W HID?, you will save over 100W of electricity with the smaller, it would produce over 5 time the amount of light, with a few fans spinning and the area above the grow room i doubt heat would be an issue.

maybe because i wanted to do a cfl grow ????????????????????????????????????

i might decide to go HPS in the future but i doubt it because im just doing this for a bit of fun, i only smoke the occasional joint.

and with this being up in the loft i dont have to worry about a fire happening. i think if i had a HPS up there i would be worried i will burn the house down

cheers

Plus all the extra pricing of hid lights..cfls are self ballasted cheap and you get get them at any local cvs or where ever....looking good dude keep up the good work
Peace

ok it might all be a disaster i think maybe 3 are males out of the 4 ak48's

heres pics of two of them





i have 6 more ak48 seeds and 20 other random ones, i think i might germinate the other 6 ak48's asap

cmon guys confirm the bad news please

i read somewhere that 6400k bulbs influence female?? i dont know but i used 2700k for all my vegging

now i have a sore head cus i headbutted the lounge door 20 times

i just started germinating the other 6 ak48 seeds plus another 10 bagseed

im thinking the 1 bagseed is female and im really praying the last ak is female

will post more pics tomorrow, the lights are out now

can i make hash if these are males? do they have any thc????

right i think i might be panicking a bit to soon, these balls are tiny and i just done some searching google and even females get these but hairs then come out of them,

the seeds were in paper towels for about 10 mins and i just dried them all of and abandoned the germination of them all, is that ok???

i will let you all know tomorrow

Hi tamjam,

Hope your head is OK this morning! I could sense your frustration there mate but hold fire until you can see clearly the sex of your plants. Look closely, a 'segmented pupkin' on a tiny stem is a male, best way I can describe it. Otherwise give them a couple more days because its easy to be confused initially. No panic this early if they are males, wait until you are 100% sure just in case. Not much you can do with males, best to ditch them and move on, its hard but you need to do it.

I mentioned picknmix seeds in my PM, here that link (below). For small grows feminised seeds do make sense and for the price of a regular packet of Nirvana seeds you could select 2 or 3 different feminised strains to try Have a browse and see what you think for the future? They are a very reliable company in my experience.

Can you get some more close ups for us to look at? or grab a magnifying glass, it will help a lot.

All the best,

ms.
