As soon as these measurements were taking a FIMed all the plants the two tallest are already developing smell plants get transplanted into ground end of the month

Moved them to final location dug pre holes to hold 1gal pots went and looked at them today all green and healthy got a Hell Week coming though this upcoming week high 90's with high humidity test these plants ability to thrive in this heat but this breed was developed for my area for past couple of years so should be used to these conditions so updates later this week

Well the heat has finally broke had to water multiple times a day no wilting or burning. Sat down and inspected all the plants been a day shy of a week that they got their FIM haircuts side branching is starting on almost every node. Today I can confirm they all are female I am happy about this for my smoking habbit but actually pretty bumbed that I don't have any pollen to make seeds to keep Wookie line pure. So next week when they go in the ground I will take cuts from my favorite three to keep mothers alive over the winter. Now I still have 4 beans that ill pop next year to try and find a male but something tells me these beans are fems. So next year ill order some pro seeds to get a backup male so I can begin backcrossing because I don't wanna lose these genetics. Took quick measurements today all plants inbetween 15-21 inches tall.

The previous post was posted to soon as I went out today to water and inspect and sure enough number 3 has ball sacks coming out of everywhere on top 1/4 part of plant so removed the boy from the girls and moved it to a another location about 75yrds away so Wookie line can be kept pure Woot! Now the question is do I take cuts off of my girls clone them and create a "Seed Crop" or do I wait till the original girls start developing flowers and just hit branches with the harvested male pollen please Experts comment on this as I've never crated seeds on purpose and would like to know what's better

Well more good news for me plant number 2 turned out to be another male (apparently my pre sexing skills are rusty) anyways I truly lucked out because the two strongest and most vigorous plants turned out to be a male and a female so took the new boy to hang out with his brother then sat down with four girls (confirmed white pistols starting) looked at plant 1 and found two nice shoots coming out of the bottom with no pistols on them yet so gonna take these two shoots cut and clone put them in new pots and wait till two males evolve more but pretty sure out of plants 2 and 3 males I'm gonna use 2 as its most vigorous and actually smells strong already unlike 3

Well mixed all my soil additives today and planted all females into ground holes each was 5gallon+ for soil mix it was FF Happy Frog, Ocean Floor, Composted Manure, Spaghnum Moss, Perlite, Native Soil (Charged with FF Happy Frog pellets) mixed on the tarp and carried in buckets after girls were in their final homes they each got 3 gallons of water so now the hardest physical part is over now the mental waiting game begins. Now the males are happy in there pots still after they got some Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1 number 3 male spitting sacks out of every where while number 2 Male is slower to develop but growing taller and wider so not sure which lucky guys pollen will meet with Female 1's clones for seed crop if any questions just post on here or any suggestions to more than welcome feels like I'm talking to a wall here

Well sad to say due to Record Breaking drought and heatwave local wild life is desperate for water so raccoons dug up and killed three girls only survivor is plant 1 she was uprooted three times in 10 days went out and shot few coons to protect our dogs and plants but seen 5 since then so put shit loads of wet newspapers and dirt on top yesterday checked and sure enough dirt dug up and paper chewed on but didn't get through so got one survivor and doing everything I can to keep her alive after third uprooting took 8 cuts under cfl as back up for lil sog and seed crop my two males were left alone so keeping wookie pure still possible still no rain so wild life still gonna be fucking with my one girl so shitty outdoor season this year

Try putting some big (and I do mean BIG) flat rocks around the base of your plants.
Maybe a small round cage made from rabbit or chicken wire around each of them.
Should help.

Good luck TeenHippy

Are the male outdoors too? if so why are the coons going after the girls and not the boys? did you do anything different?

As for the rocks I put a 40+lbs rock on top of female 1 after 2nd uprooting SOB's dug literally 5 gallon bucket size hole around rocks to get plant that's why wet newpapers were added as well as rocks again as barrier. The males are still in pots in completely different location as so won't impregnate the girl that's why coons haven't got to them.

Man! TeenHippy, that is some determined coons.
Sounds like my battle with ground hogs, only worse.

number 3 male spitting sacks out of every where while number 2 Male is slower to develop but growing taller and wider so not sure which lucky guys pollen will meet with Female 1's clones for seed crop

Its always been my belief that the slower males will produce a more potent offspring, but I'm not a breeder.

As for the males number 3 thick clusters everywhere more of a sativa leaf profile while 2 is a dead ringer for female 1 but few sacs and not as dense clusters but still developing so most likely number 2 is gonna get lucky with cuts of 1 while number 3 might get to meet up with fellow local growers Skunk that traveled all the way here from Cali due to her sativa profile as for coon issue the attacked number 1 girl past two night but newspaper and rock seem to protect them weather hit 11sF today but girl is dark green with leaves reaching for sky so hopefully for a tree yet

Put the males in the ground and I bet they get dug up too. The coons are looking for the "food" they think another predator buried there.

Agreed with the males however in the war on raccoons I've killed 4 in past 10 days plus went out and got traps today and about 2hrs ago sitting in living room and heard scratching at front door sure enough flipped on light big fat mama coon was literally scratching my door so grabbed 12guague and took care it that was number 4 so since massacre started my lone survivor has been left alone my neighbor also got 2 last night so were winning the war now not over by any means

Now that coons have left girl alone she starting to blow up like it should of 3+ weeks ago if it wasn't being molested by those bastards and good news one of my scraglers that I thought was dead has came back so I got two girls only one of them is of decent size main female is almost three feet and two feet wide the other survivor looks like she gonna shoot out 4 buds proally get 1/2 zip when all said and done as for the cuts I took got 5/8 survivors so few are gonna go in pots and go outdoors and hit with pollen while others are gonna be moved to a hydro grower who gonna give me harvest as long as he can keep a mom so finally things looking up outdoors but high 90's and drought still to be a issue

hey teenhippy if you don't killing, bait them with cheap smelly can of cat food, then shoot them. or get con a bear traps 440's for coons. loaded they are flat, place over small hole with bait in bottom, they stick their heads in every time. but not good if you have cats around. i seen one of your posts somewhere else and told you about sticky rat traps. good luck
