Right I see what you mean, I think both would work equally well but I agree with you on keeping it lower in the tray just in case of any accidents.
That’s my thought process.

i may at some point adjust the entire system to work from a manifold etc Rather than the delivery ring but at the minute I like creating a delivery ring as I know for definite that the pressure is being delivered equally to each branch off it.

Another idea is…..I have these from round 1 of the DIY drip system that utilised a ring that was mounted into the medium using stakes.

well these stakes have a flat back to them.

so it seems logical that I could glue these inside the drip tray elevated slightly so that it keeps the irrigation out of the runoff water while keeping them inside the drip tray perimeter.

anyway I will obviously update you when I’ve made the alterations.

Day 67 from flip very nearly ready.

EC in the tote has been been reduced from 0.8 down to 0.6.

if I top up the tote again it will most likely be with pH adjusted water to reduce the EC down a little more to maybe 0.4 and then I’ll stay there until finished seeing as most of this Grow has been under 1.0EC lol.

Idk about the nanners early in flower but you can get away with clipping the tops at a month, I had 8 stretchy plants and no option I cut the tops off about 50%.

It turned out fine imo, the next again crop I tried it on a couple of lower branches.

you can create seeds a few different ways.

You can get some colloidal silver and spread it on a female plant for it to produce male pollen sacks.

collect that pollen (which will be feminised pollen) and use that pollen to pollenate another female of whatever strain you want.

Allow it to flower and produce seeds and then you have enough seeds to last you a lifetime of grows lol.

or buy regular seeds and flower until you find a male and collect the pollen from the male and use on female plants (regular pollen will create male and female orientated seeds)

Then if you really want to go to town you can keep a mother and back cross the clones with your chosen keepers etc for stability and to breed out any traits you don’t like but that can take serious amounts of time.
Hi,

So do you have to put a regular seed/plant into flower before you can tell its sex.

Thanks

LOL.

The Mrs didn't have a clue either.:D

Luckily my grow timers are all managed by smart switches and adjusted when the time on my Home Server updated



I am smoking miscellaneous weed #1. Basically, my assistant muddled up all the labels when I potted them up, so all we know for sure is that it is weed. It could be Bubblegum XL, Blue Dream or Fat Banana, it's very nice. My assistant has subsequently been handed an imaginary P45.:D

In Veg I have a Sensi Amnesia, Big Bud, Killer Glue, North Thunderfuck and Honey n' Cream.

In flower I have some Big Bud, Sernsi Amnesia, Fat Banana, Happiness, Bruce Banner#3 and French Macaron.
Hi mate,

Be really interested to know what your BB3 is like, just got some from Dark Horse Genetics.

Cheers

Yes or take cuttings root em label em n flip those even under a daft cfl would do ur only using em as a guide in this case assuming ur plants vegd enough of course u can just flip the room identify sex n flip it back on veg if you prefer but id say thats more likely to cause a lil stress so personally id take cuttings n test them if possible some strains form preflowers in veg but many dont so depends really

No is the simple answer.

The more complex answer is that it’s determined how quickly the plant reaches maturity.

Most strains I’ve grown can be sexed between week4-week8 of veg.

however more often than not when growing from seed most people don’t want to veg for that long.

there will also be sativa leaning phenotypes that could take longer to show sex during veg.

the prefix of all this about veg time really.

Given enough veg time more often than not plants will show sex.

A few bits arrived today.

the filter 80 micron screen inside and the thread is independent of the barbed 13mm end allowing unscrewing without moving the 13mm connection.

Some 13mm ID ratchet clamps for securing the LDPE pipe as over time it can drip.

And some citric Acid powder for pest control if I even need it.
