Thank you I feel like I've accomplished a lot if you look at my pic from 30 days ago. Things where rough in the beginning for sure but I think I got this nailed now smooth sailing from here on out hopefully. I did take a clone yesterday first one I have ever attempted, last chance to take one really considering today was the first day of 12/12 hopefully it takes root I really like the traits this thing has smells like lemons. I would like to grow it outside in the spring and if I get a chance make some seeds for next year. It would be cool to do a breeding project with it.

yeah I was thinking of getting some auto flower lemon skunk and maybe cross them, but make sure you dont do like me get your whole setup together before you start or you'll be fighting problems the whole way like I have I just barley pulled this one out of the dumpster they were looking pretty sick for a minute there, and there is still stuff I need to buy like some bloom nutes that are not 10-52-10 I think thats a bit too much phosphorus but thats just me. it miracle grow and they don't even make it in that ratio anymore lol so if miracle grow thinks its to high you know it is. this is my fourth go at it the first three flopped before the 28 day mark so I just barely got the bare minimum to start this last try and have been adding what I can as I go

right cant imagine you would want to use a fan from a air hockey table lol I only did because it was big and it was free and works pretty well when i actually use it. I think I have spent a total of about 60$ on the whole thing. I did the research but I didn't have the money so I took what I could get for instance im using chip bags for Mylar, it was free I was going to eat those Doritos anyway you know.

This is all I have for setup pics right now I use my phone for pics and I need bluetooth to transfer files from it and my computer doesn't have bluetooth. its pretty simple though I have a power strip on the wall stuck up with command strips, a coffee pot timer for the lights and fans, I have one light socket with 3 Y split sockets in it so I can run 4 bulbs off of one socket then I have a clamp light in the corner with a Y split socket so I can run two bulbs off of that. you can see the air hockey intake fan on the left side of the pic and the computer fan exhaust on the other. This plant i have now is starting to look like a male so I might be starting over soon, If thats the case I'm re doing my whole Rubbermaid setup and I'll just start a Setting up a Rubbermaid grow thread and give you the link for it.

well boys and girls the lights came on at 11:12 and im sad to say I think I grew a Dude how long does it typically take for the pistils to come out of the pre flowers?. Oh well Im going to keep growing it and collect some pollen or hope that its actually female but it looks like balls to me, sorry for wasting everyone's time I know this isnt the outcome you wanted I know it isnt the outcome I wanted but its the risk I took growing a unknown bagseed hopefully I can gain something from this if not just the experience and some good genetics which I recognize the plant has. I think when all is said and done I will cook it down in milk at a low temp and drink the tea, males do produce thc just no material worth smoking and all the leaves sparkle with trichomes.

of course man will do, maybe it will sprout some pistils and make my day but it doesn't look that way. Im going to save the pollen and freeze it. then im going to start over, re do my Rubbermaid and do a step by step on that in another thread then pop about 12 seeds and hope for a few females I can clone before its time to put them outside in mid may. So I have some work to do.

well boys and...girls? It took 15days for the pollen sacs to open. that being said its done and gone now I kept the leaves and stems to make butter or tea or something it does have some content so I will not waste that.. It did take up 75days a little more than 2 and a half months. anyway time to start gathering more gear setting it up and going again phree23 i'll get the link to you when I get it going shouldn't be more than two weeks I plan on dropping about 10 seeds in some soil by the 20th.
