Don't throw anything out.I've noticed in my recent grows that some of my plants show sex early while most of the others don't reveal themselves until 12/12 has been initiated.I usually move the confirmed males to another area and start LSTing the confirmed females while I wait for the slower plants to show sex.

 

[budman678]

they have been in 12/12 for five days?!?~?~?~?~>~>~>~>?~?~~~~?~?~

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[nugbuckets]

relax my man, you got mostly girls, if not all girls....males almost always show first, so you are in good shape.....take a deep breath!........you will know for sure in a few days.....in my experience, 4-6 days for males to show, 5-8 days for girls.....your good.

 

[nugbuckets]

you should force early sex bro, so much more efficient.....the way your doing it is too stressful, and you end up putting a lot or resources into the garbage can.
...plants look great btw.

 

[budman678]

thanks nugbuckets...will you tell me more about forcing sex?

you flower early on for a week and then revert back to 24? THAT IS worth taking a second look at.....

i have kinda bad vision so its hard to see. keep your fingers crossed brother...

 

[budman678]

haha, im going to take a closer look at this bitches here shortly...must. go. for. a. run.

just got back from a nice tempo run. very quick, very necessary.

i have decided to chill out for a couple more days and not get worked up. no need, too early to get excited. goodnight icmag

 

[nugbuckets]

good for you with the running bro, have you been running for awhile? i am trying to get into it, but my creaky body acts up, and i have to back off.....i got up to four miles last year, pretty slow pace though.....good eyesight is key to early sexing, cause sometimes decisions are made without even seeing hairs....more the shape of the pre-calyx.....do you have an up to date perscription?(glasses)....anywho....sending you a p.m.

 

[budman678]

running is my outlet for almost everything. its an unreal way to clean your head out...and your lungs. look up "COUCH TO 5K" that is a great place to start. start slow and dont overdue it and you might just fall in love

so, they arent all confirmed males...there are a few that have the female preflower calyx but not pistils yet...so i am waiting for the light to go and then i will go through with with a fine tooth comb again..

when sexing them early, does it stress em out a lot when you flip em back? i have so many unreal beans that i cant imagine changing my plans to pop them all...i have tried fem beans but i realize they are sort of frowned upon.

regardless, i am learning a lot from this and will plan better next round. i wont be able to start the next round until july but it will progressively get better as i fine tune my craft. this is a way of life not a hobby

UPDATE:

one more day made all the difference...seeing pistils on atleast one site of my females...just the very beginning of pistils...we are day six of 12/12 and i am going to take my prediction of 2/9 to possibly 6/8!!!

its looking like at least (4) chem99s and (2) querkles....woot woot. i think there is one confirmed dude and one that is still hard to tell...so i feel much better and the next couple days will confirm all of my suspicions...im so relieved....after a couple successful harvests, thinking i have learned my lessons, i am still learning that patience is the most important. i am so used to instant instant instant, internet, microwaves etc etc. i am learning to let mother nature sort things out and that i am not in control..

either way...great freakin news!!!!

 

[nugbuckets]

not to toot my horn...but i told you!....

many lessons to learn with patience alone...talk about a lifestyle!

will check out the running info....

no stress sexing.......plus the part of the plant showing sex is removed right afterward for LST etc......be well.

i had to cull two vigorous querkle males this after noon. what we are left with is two (2) QUERKLES and four (4) ChemD x C99.

i am also about to get my friends adjust a wing in there. prolly be this weekend. i believe that will set em off just right.

when should i lollipop and clean up everything? tomorrow will be one week of flowering.

i hope you like!!!!

 

[nugbuckets]

looks good, but wait till there flowering good before removing any lowers, so not to mess with their hormones, i usually wait till about day 20.

[budman678]

[Superstone]

Looking good Budman.Green,healthy,and strong!

 

[budman678]

i need to lay down the pipe!!! they were a little thirsty when i went down there...not too bad but i def need to begin saturating them bc they dry out kick. everything look good. the chem99s like absolutely killer. the querkle dont look as healthy. they both have a natural doop. big indica leaves. the querkles that looked really good ended up being males...

so although i do have two querkles. they are not impressing me and i am not impressing them, lol. they dont like me right now. i will get better pics but they will be fat with water. i gave them a serious soaking

 

[budman678]

i am having some varying temp...

lows are 55f high are 75f....humidity around 40%

The colors look great but the querkles have never been "perky". the chems are racing and reaching and the querkles are just alittle droppy. hard to explain...pics are coming soon....very excited. this is gonna be my nicest run yet...haha

 

[NE_GROWER_978]

lookin real good budman! cant wait to see the new pic update! these ladies look like they mean business

 

[budman678]
