Those plants look super healthy!,.:biggrin:..are u running a dead rez?,coz i see that lip is not flush or is it just holding the wicks down into place?:biggrin:

I just read through this post and saw quite a while back that you were fighting mold/mildew,and then saw you mentioned the WHITE DUST,...its the reason i threw my dam one away!

Unless you CLEAN that thing regularly and i mean real good its gona be more of a problem than anything,the problem is once you start using tap water with any MINERALS in,those minerals start to form deposits inside on the heating plate which is impossible to clean eventually:biggrin:,then those same deposits and minerals become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold,a very easy way to INTRODUCE it to your plants without even knowing,that dust is the MINERAL deposits of the tap water getting humidified out and deposited around the grow room,..which also in turn is dirt and thats what attracts the pests and so on, either use distilled water ,which is costly,or go thepond fogger route with a pc fan,much cleaner,no light inside water,and way more hunidity!

Anyways keep shit rockin!and get working on that donut!,although once you sort those females out and start suppercropping that kiddiepool could look KILLER scrogged horizonatlly stretched over the sides with buds/colas taking up that extra space in the corners!,well you got many pools any many options ,so hopefully im gonna see scrogs all upmthe wall and floor!!!

I love how easy this pool to work with....

Move things around,take something out,put something in....
It's awesome.. No feed lines-no drip trays-no problems...



Not sure which type pool preforms better but they are both winners in my book...lol

Really hoping this F13 is a female....

When I stop shooting myself in the foot, things get moving quite fast.


Pool 1 is going to be over grown by next week but looks like more
than half will be males and pulled out soon.





Foliar spraying with MM-CS at 1/2 tsp per 1L bottle every other day and pinching them every 2-3 days.


Man I could just flip the bitch and have a hella lot of free love going on...
Lol..

But...
I don't have space or time for that.. :clock watch:

In the flowering pool it looks like I have a bunch of male F13s and a couple female Border Haze showing so far.

Most of the others are just starting a new set of leaves after a stall and should show in the coming days.

I also lost a couple clones here.
GSTF #2 & 7
So that sucks..
Set backs are slowing my roll and it's begining to bug me.
Guess I need to take more clones to sex...lol

I really need to study pre sexing the 5th node set.
This flowering for sex, sucks purple balls.


Border Haze are the 2 tall ones, bottom left. ..

Speaking of top notch gear...

Green path. F13 F2
Really nice beans to work with...
He did something right during the propagation of these.
DJs gear being known to be sensitive in a hydro set up.
He muat have had to strong parents hooking up.

These plants took a hit and came back stronger than ever.

I have 4 confirmed males, 1 confirmed female, 2 looking female and 1 unknown. Lol

#s 1~2~5 look to be female.


#5 was my favorite from the get go and is confirmed female.

I .. See an excellent pheno to work with here.

Tight structure ~Thick stem and branches~Strong odor~Beautiful purples throughout.. Now if her stretch is around x2 I'm stoked...

I took a couple cuttings to test out how she clones.
I already know she is learning curve resistant ...
Adds up to a keeper in my book.









Flower clone top...

Now my fastest grower with the same qualities as #5 But an even stronger odor and a silver haired sheen to it, is the male #3...







I'm going to have to get theae 2 together for a run of some personal f3s as well as do some serious work thru my crosses..

Man I hope I can find some gems like these with GSTF and the other's ...


Season 6 is looking danker by the minute.. yahoo.. lol

Something I keep reading over and over as I go...

on another site.Part of a great read.
Male plants showing their sex.
Selecting males

I prefer to remove all of the males from the grow-room to a separate, isolated space shortly after they declare their sex and well before they begin to shed pollen. A small space lit with simple fluorescent light will suffice for the males for the next few weeks. During this time the female buds will fatten with more flowers while your collection of males is selected down.

I generally employ a simple process of elimination while selecting males. First, any auto-flowering or very early-declared males are eliminated. (Auto-flowering means that male flowers form regardless of light cycle timing.) This is mainly to insure against hermaphroditism or unwanted flowering traits, but also as a means to insure quality. The very early declared males have a tendency to be less desirable in terms of their contributions to the quality of the finished product. (If you are trying to specifically create an early-flowering strain, then your priorities may be different.)

Next, any male plant that grows too tall or too fast is usually eliminated. The reason for this is that most plants which dedicate so much energy to fiber production generally are best for making fiber. The exception to this rule is when an over-productive plant also exhibits a number of the desirable characteristics mentioned later.

The next criteria for elimination is borrowed from Michael Starks' book, Marijuana Potency, and involves stem structure. Large, hollow main stems are sought while pith-filled stems are eliminated. Backed by years of observation, I agree that hollow stems do seem to facilitate THC production.

Another consideration is the type of floral clusters that develop. Even on males, clusters which are tight, compact and yet very productive are desired over an airy, loose structure. These observations are most notable in the indoor environment. Outdoors, the differences in stem and floral structures are more difficult to discern.

The next and perhaps most important characteristic to examine is that of odor, flavor and trichome development. Again, the females will prove themselves by their finished product, but the males are a bit trickier.

I usually begin with a Sativa female and an Indica male. It has been my observation that the females primarily contribute the type of flavor and aroma and the males contribute the amount of flavor and odor. The "Sativa/Indica" aspects of this formula are mainly apparent in the P1 or very early filial crosses (to about f3). Beyond the f3 generation the apparent "Sativa/Indica" ratio in a given individual is less important than the odor/flavor and trichome development aspects it exhibits. Therefore, one of the main aspects to consider when selecting a male is the depth of its aroma and flavor. (If you are seeking to develop a low-odor indoor strain you might wish to begin with a low-odor Sativa male and an Indica female.)

With the remaining males I usually employ an odor/flavor test. Using males at least two or three weeks into the flowering cycle (and preferably beyond if a separate, isolated space is being used), a sort of "scratch-and-sniff" technique is first employed. With clean, odor-free fingers, gently rub one plant at a time, on the stem where it is well developed and pliable, above the woody part and below the developing top (approximately at the spot where a clone would be cut). The newer leaves at their halfway point of development may also be rubbed and sniffed.

These are the places that the earliest chemical signatures of a developing plant present themselves, and it is our intent to gently disturb these chemicals and inspire an odor/flavor reaction on the fingers and on the plant. By examining these various aromas in this way one may be able to determine certain desirable (and also undesirable) characteristics. After clearing one's palate and refreshing one's fingers, another plant may be tested.

The finalists are best compared for at least a week and at different times of day, to determine who performs best over a period of time.

A few of the "good" aromas which I have found to be associated with both male and female high quality cannabis are: sweet, floral, fruity, berry, wine/brandy, other savory spirits, skunky and spearmint. Some of the "bad" aromas associated with both male and female cannabis are: grassy, chlorophyll (green), celery, parsley, carrots, cinnamon, pepper-mint or wintergreen, gear-oil and gasoline. Some of the aromas that are considered "good" from females but not necessarily from males are: woody, cedar, pine, citrus, tropical fruit, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, garlic and astringent.
