Had to move P1 & P2 for security reasons..might keep them both in pots..have more seedlings on the way..

P1 - Male..keeping for now, away from others..

They're flowering already? Must be the spring light. Silverback said they should revert back to veg when the light changes so hope you have no herm problems. My outdoor auto isn't even showing yet.

Solid stems on those Hiding!

I've delayed putting out my plants till the day length is long enough, but I don't think it will cause you a big problem. Stress does not cause hermies, it only triggers them into expressing the hermie trait. They will probably just waste some of their energy creating flowers, but it shouldn't matter much this early on. They're getting a bit of a head start anyway.

be careful using blood meal, bone meal, alfalfa meal or any fish based product outdoors they attract unwanted critters that can and will dig up your plant looking for what they think to be food in your soil.

I was surprised to see them flowering too, I guess we'll see what happens eh? Thanks for the comments/suggestions dudes.

Nice male you have there Hiding. You could collect some pollen and freeze it for later on, if you wanted to make some seeds.

I've been wondering about this, reason I saved that male...how should I go about saving it/using it?

 

[neongreen]

Can't remember who/where it came from, but good info nevertheless

pollen can be sealed inside plastic drinking straws with a little more than a large hardcover book, a business card, and a lighter to seal the straws. Stick that in the freezer inside a tupperware with dehumidfying gelpacks and that should last for a year+

PS. Once in the freezer leave it there. If you freeze/thaw it you loose some viability, as you do with seeds. It's best to split it up into small amounts/multiple straws so that you can take a bit out at a time, and not disturb the rest of it. Make sure it's fairly dry when you freeze it (put it in a rolling paper, and give it a twist to make sure it does not open, then place in a jar with silica gel for 24-48 hours), and make sure your freezer is not the type that automatically de-ices itself every once in a while.

Started tying down the senorita again...

& the male..

 

[HidingInTheBush]

A couple seedlings..

 

[neongreen]

Looking good Hiding, although I'd separate the 3 seedlings that are in that pot ASAP if I were you since their roots will tangle, meaning more stress the later you leave it.

Nice pink pistils on that flowering female

 

[HidingInTheBush]

Went out & watered a bit, things are lookin alright..
The senorita...

One of the new seedys..

 

[HidingInTheBush]

Back in the ground, not looking so good, any advice?



And the seedlings..

The flowering plant looks a little low on nitrogen but I think thats normal during flowering. You could maybe top them off with a little earthworm castings.

The seedlings look good minus where the bugs have been chewing on them. You might want to check out some kind of insect spray for that.

 

[bluebuds]

was that guano as a top dressing in the first page pics? does look like they could use some nitrogen, maybe a guano or manure tea? overall looking good and extremely early flowering. looks like too many pistils to turm back to veg to me -bluebuds

 

[neongreen]

I agree, tea would be a great idea. They need some N.

I noticed in one of the pics that the soil is cracking. That's usually a sign the the soil needs to be amended. I'd advise you follow the advice here Hiding, for subsequent grows anyway: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=49474
