So it has been approximately 2 months of vegging now, and most of the plants have adequately revealed their sex. As stated previously, both Chemporer x Candy are female, 1 Apollo 13 BX, 1 Sour Diesel, and 1 White Widow. Both White Old Larry's are male and have been culled, along with Sour OG #1 and Sour Diesel #2. Apollo 13 BX #2 is also male, but was the best looking of the males and will be preserved for breeding purposes (should I decide to make seeds from these plants).
That leaves Sour Hazy Jones #1, #2, and Sour OG #2 as the only plants whose sex cannot be definitively identified at this point. All have preflower nubs, but I just can't differentiate between stamen or calyx...usually the stamen are easy to identify because they will either cluster at the node or form 2 little curved bits near the tip of the nub that appear to encase the preflower...but right now all 3 look like teardrop shaped calyxes that have yet to push out pistils. I am going to wait until the end of this week (probably friday) to flip the lights in the tent, but hopefully they reveal their sex before that.
Here is a group shot of the tent prior culling the 4 males.
Here is Sour Hazy Jones #1. This plant is a triploid, which makes me think it will probably be male, as all my previous triploid plants have been dudes. Still holding out hope for pistils though.
Here is the Chemporer x Candy #1. She was the first plant to show sex, and is a very healthy grower. The picture kinda sucks because I just finished re-training her before I took it, so you can't really see what's going on. But she is the early favorite to do dank things!
Next, Chemporer x Candy #2. She is much more leggy than #1 and took longer to reveal sex, but smells just as incredible. Stoked for this girl too.
Sour OG #2. Could be male, could be a female. Growing kinda slow and weird, but is healthy, which is usually a good sign its a female. The fast strong growers seem to be male more often than not, while the slow ones seem to be female. Probably has to do with their radically different dioecious flowering cycles.
Next, Apollo 13 BX #1. This confirmed female is pretty lanky and likes to branch, but is growing quite healthily. The first two pics are before administering the next round of training, and the 3rd pic shows it immediately after for comparison.
Here are the other 3 plants in large pots. Sour Hazy Jones #2 on the left (who's sex remains unconfirmed), Sour Diesel female in the back left, and White Widow female to the right (with the thermometer).
Here is the Apollo 13 BX male that I intend to keep for breeding. Probably use it to cross with the Apollo 13 female, both Chemporer x Candy, and maybe the Diesel or Sour Hazy Jones.
Finally, here is an overview of the tent after removing the males and re-training the females. As I said before, I intend to commence flowering very soon for these beautiful ladies. I like to give them all at least a week to grow into their new pots before flipping the lights...I figure the plant expels less energy towards root expansion and focuses primarily on stem elongation and bud formation after the first week or two of flower, so I like to get the root zone a little more established before I put them into flower.
