The smell is just one of the traits you can select for breeding.

I like the strong "antiseptic" piineSoil, smelling males.

Well these things are sucking down watr like crazy.
I had to give them just water today when I woke up because they looked droopy and soil was way dry. Room is 82 degrees F. A little high.

I have taken clones of 3 so far. CH and F I think. I will get you some pics. They look really nice acutually.
I am keeping them under a humidity dome and making sure their cube is wet.

I need more cubes to clone them in. I might try to do some in dirt. That is kind of a pain but maybe better than a 3 hr car ride to get em.

There is what they look like. As you can see they are are marked to see what the mom is.


Im going to take more soon. Trying to find their sex first. I think these ones are female that I cloned. They look like they have a pod but not seeds.

Here is a group shot.

THose big ones in the center look like the purple cindy Earl grew with closely spaced nodes and explosive growth. Looking Good Edux. I'll bring you some starter cubes either on my way to or back from Sacramento in September. :blsmoke:;-). Damn you must live way out there to have to travel that long to get starters

Yeah I can just order some I was thinking. Online shouldn't be too costily. It would be cheaper to pay for shipping then to pay for gas. I am kind of over my growshop too. They always try to talk you into something way more expensive then what you need. It is cool to have equipment that is better than you need but hard to afford it all when you are just starting out. If you tell them that you are just starting they should be like get this light and some cheap buckets and this soil with these nute.

The clones that I took look perky! I will be transplanting in a few hours into those 3gallon buckets and throwing them in the 4x4 room.

The plants are still hard to tell 100percent sure what sex they are. The nice bushy ones look like female. They have the little pod pistil thing but it doesn't have a hair sticking out of it yet. Does this sound right. I really don't think they are balls, I hope not. Out of the 3 that look alike there is still one with no signs. The big lanky one, also no signs I am really thinking that is a dude. Guys are lankier and look different structure wise right? I am going to try to clone all of em anyway.

Ok, now to start transplanting starting with WCF, WCC and WCH (that is them right, the three that look similar?). I will actually be flushing then transplanting. Flushing with a gallon an a half h20 and then 1/4 nute solution for another 1.5 gallons or till the pph pen says OK!

Well not always. If its in the sativa line like cindy is it could be lanky. Ive seen alot of males that looked like females (short, good nodal spacing etc). I would wait til you know the sex forsure but if you have other constraints go for it. You know whats best. I know you are good with the labeling thing so you will know which ones came from where. Looking damn good though Edux.

haha yeah,
The flush is going well. I got it down to putting in 90 ppm of nutes and getting 157ish out the bottom. Pretty well cuz it was pretty high at first. They are going to be in the 3 gallon pots now

So if my preflower comes out to a point it is a girl right? It looks like this


but with no white hairs coming out of the end. HHhhmmm, what do you guys think?

If this turn out to be true and I am describind it right they are mostly female. It looks like no male flowers (I have seen them before in real life so I kinda know). 3 with no signs.

Here is a picture from the transplant. Not too many roots bound down there. Better to transplant to give it some room now.

And I just pop it into the new pot like how I transplanted them before.

I found that it works best to transplant when the plant you are transplanting has really wet soil so it was perfect to run that flush then transplant.

Bout half way done and they are loving it. The temps are running a little high and I am working on that. I will probably have the lights off durning the hottest part of the day.


I am runnin the a/c in there and it is like max of 85 trying to get it to about 78 though.



Happy little plants after transplant. Lets see how they like the big light!

I also put stakes in there to make them grow straight. Some really didn't need it. I used zip ties to keep them next to the stick. The wire tie is on really loose as to allow room for the plant to grow.

And NO I am not flowering. I don't have a 600watt mh bulb. The lights are going to be on 24 hrs a day for up to a week to avoid any shock then to 18 hrs a day for a week or 2 then 12. cant wait!!

Your plants look good Edux. I may have let them go a little further in those pots but Im sure they will like the room. Ive learned (the hard way sometimes) to try and not disturb the roots as much as possible for smooth repot transition. Indenting the new soil mix with the old pot is such a great idea, minimizing disruption of the rootball. I like it!

Those plants are definately GIRLS! No doubt about it. THe calyx with pistals is a dead givaway. The other structure next to the calyx is not generic to female or male plants. If it was a male the calyx looking structure would have a stem and shortly produce more of the same oval structures (balls) with pollen in them. What you have are definately Le Fem. Congrats!

Ive not thought too much about the gradual reduction in the photo period. Always went from 18/6 to 12/12. What are the benefits you have seen witht he gradual reduction in the photo period over the straight switch to 12/12?

Thank ya. Glad to think they are girls. The structure tooks more female to me. I know it is hard to tell but many males I have seen are lankyer.
I decided to transplant them now just so I could get it out of the way when I move them under the light. I also was having to water all the time so hopefully this will let me at least go every other day.

I don't know if the graduale change is better or anything. I just thought it might be a good idea so I don't stress them as little as possible. I really need to do the 18 hrs on because it is so hot. If I can let the room cool from like 11 to 5 that would be perfect, and then the air outside is cooler and will cool the light better.
I need to get more duct and take the exhaust side of the light back out the window. I feel it is heating up the room more.
The other times I have set that light up it ran at night and it ran nice and COOOL.

what kind of light do you have on them? Your set up looks great... wish I could get mine that nice!
I have a HPS 600watt. I think it is a lumatech. It is the purple heatsink ballast. It has an air cooled hood on it so the 6inch vortex fan takes cool air from outside and runs it across the light to cool it. Works really well but not as well when it is like 100F outside.
