Coming along nicely Oregon Guy,,,Just wanted to say something bout your female/male theory my theory is a seed holds the male or female chromosones before its germed so therefore sex is already determined before germination...

Hey OG, a backpack and city buses,sometimes I can use my bosses car,it's the co2 tank that's a real bear.I got rid of my car 2 years ago as a gift to the planet,sucks sometimes when it's 100 outside,but I rarely have to go more than 2 miles.

Ido,
How's it going bro? Yea, I wanted to make sure I keep at least 1 of each. The WD has that great lemon cleaner taste and aroma, the SL is a great tent plant as it remains short, squat and branches out naturally. Plus the grower I have gifted the plants to is a good friend so I can always get a cut if needed.

BENJI,
Thanks for stopping by bro. Yea, your probably right about them being either a male or female straight from the seed. I guess I have just had a run of females lately. I am waiting patiently to find a good male to chuck some pollen around, not trying to do anything serious but to just have some fun.

Uncle,
Kudo's to you for being able to do that. If I lived in the city and not out in the boonies, I could very easily give up my car. After reading your posts about co2, I have decided to get some more ventilation going through my flower tent. Just picked up one of those tower fans I am sitting in the corner of the tent by the air intake to get some more fresh air circulating.

Been on vacation for the last couple of days, I will try to update my threads tonight.

I got these tips from a book by Jorge Cervantes called Marijuana Horticulture.

To encourgae females

1 Increase Nitrogen in 1st 2 weeks (something gentle like Worm Castings)

2 Decrease Potassium in 1st 2 weeks

3 Lower Temperature

4 High Humidity

5 More Blue Spectrum Light

6 Fewer hours of light for vegging say 16 rather than 18+


To get more males you basically do the opposite of above, so more red light, longer veg hours, low humidity, anything that stresses them basically

Big Beans,
Thanks for stopping by Bro. Yea, I have those tips before. I think that the M/F thing is pretty subjective from all of the post's I have read. I have my veg lights on 24/0 and try to keep them between 77-82 degrees. As far as the nutes go, I just watch my plants and feed according to what they need (No meter) and ph my water to around 5.5-6.

Ido,
What's up Bro? It's a little different around here as far as sharing cuts. Everyone has thier med cards which makes it alot easier to do without getting in trouble. Hey I got those ChemD X SS beans in the soil, just waiting for them to pop up.

Here is a quick update, I was given a heads up from another member growing out the Triesel that the wide leaf phenos were throwing out nanners. I took all of mine out and went over all the plants with a fine tooth comb and so far everything looks good. They are at about 3-4 weeks 12/12, I will be keeping a close eye out though from here on out. I gifted out 2 of my 3 stretchers to a buddy that has more head room than I. They grew to 6 feet tall and I just did not have the space as I was counting on a couple of mine to be males.

Here is the first wide leaf Triesel



The second wide leaf



Here is my one remaining stretcher Triesel. She grew to about 6 ft tall so I had to tie her down.



Here is one of the Wonder Diesels. She is at a little over 5 weeks into flower. and is starting to put out that wonderful lemon cleaner aroma.



And finally the Southern Lights. One of them had got a little too close to the veg lights so I topped her thus making her branch out quite a bit on top. This strain has like zereo stretch when thrown into 12/12. This one would be a good choice for someone wanting to do a micro grow.

BENJI,
Thanks Bro, I will be starting that Chem X SS thread soon. Waiting until they get a little more interesting. Maybe start it this weekend or the next. BTW, I also won a pack of your Widow X SS !!!

Ido,
Thank you for your nice comments. I have much respect for what you have been doing in your grows as well bro.

bodler,
Thank you for stopping by. It's pretty cool that no matter what part of the earth we live in, we can all share our grows and give each other tips and new ideas. I hope that you can stick around and see how these turn out.

Uncle,
Do you think it was heat stress that brought on the hermi? I try to keep a buffer of 6-18 inches from my cool tube but I am only running a 400. I recently took off the wings off of the tube to help spread the light more to the sides as my tall ones are all lined up on both sides.

Will post a pic update in a couple days.

Yeah OG, I think heat was the issue,can't find any light leaks,been running a stopwatch on the lamp timer,it's fine.Temp sensor was hitting mid 90's in the top of the treii canopy.

Looking nice !! I grew wonder diesel a couple of years ago. I didn't read the entire thread, but I hope you have a good carbon filter. It was some stinky shit!! Good luck !

Uncle,
Maybe is was the heat then, I checked over mine again this weekend and still no sign of any herm's. I still have my fingers crossed.

robbiedublu,
Thanks for stopping by. Yeah this is my third time running the WD. I do have my odor control in check. I am lucky as I don't have to worry about odor as much as others, only one neighbor within smelling range and he is a fellow patient.

Ido,
How's it going? It has been a busy weekend so I have not been able to post much. I will get caught up soon.

I didnt have a chance to take many pics yet. Here are a few:

Southern Lights. Random pics:

Ido,
Yea sometimes it's difficult to balance your time between the everyday life and your favorite hobby. I guess we have to do the best we can and call it good. Thanks for always stopping by to say hi!!

Benji,
Thanks for comming by bro. This cut of the SL has a Fruity/Nutty aroma. I think this pheno is more NYCD leaning, not sure as I have never grown out a pure NY but the other pheno was very Sensi Star dominant.

Sack,
Thanks for stopping in bro, hope that you can stick around and give me your thoughts. The Southern Lights is from Delta 9, it is a NYCD X Sensi Star. I believe the 2 cuts here are more NY than SS leaning. Thanks for your kind comments.

Here are a pic update for tonight. My flower tent smells like a citrus grove right now lol.

The stretcher Triesel:



Here is one of the Wide Leaf Triesel's:



Here is one of the WD's. Not much of a yeilder but some great brain candy:



More updates soon.
