Thanks guys! Will repot to 70L smart pots ASAP, taking individual photos of each.

In the meanwhile:

One Ethiopian has an 8 fingered leaves??!? :bigeye:

It's the thinnest fingered one of the bunch...

up-potting

up-potting

Honduras and Ethiopian doesn't seem to have shown sex yet, all four repotted to 80L/20 gal smart pots.

Lebanese #2, the stouter one is a confirmed girl, she has been up-potted to a 170L/47gal smart pot.

Lebanese #1 on the other hand has me puzzled: girl, boy? hermie?

These are being sprayed potassic soap / neem every other day.

Using high quality peat based soil with 5% humus, EC 1, mixed guanokalong (8 measurement cups) to the bottom layer, and leonardite in powder (200grams) to the upper (2/3) one.

Beautiful pics.Honduras looks full of vigour

Thanks whiteweedo! :tiphat:

Thanks Tycho! I know that's a female preflower, but saw other oddly shaped preflowers... will keep an eye on her.

Soo... seems we've got two Lebanese girls!

Stout Lebanese (about 60cm/23")

Tall Lebanese (about 1m/40")

lol. Gotta love nice weather. I find that by July 1st, plants should be really exploding with growth. If they are then you're doing it right. It's a critical time that affects the yield. If they're not really moving, it's an emergency and I foliar and pour the Nitrogen to them. A little burn is better than lazy growth at this time.

I put a dozen in a buddy's yard in behind his large unused chicken coop. I put them right where the old manure pile used to be and in full sun. He's starting to panic because "they're getting really big" he said. I didn't have the heart to tell him about the stretch. :biggrin:

I told him "Dude... they're growing too fast because they're looking for water. So give them 5 liters of water every 2 days." :laughing: They're going to be monsters.

After this year there's something I learnt when growing outdoors... use the biggest pots possible or even better, sow directly (ala farmerlion) in the final (or at least) vegging pots... uninterrupted growth!

Tall lebanese (#1) I had trouble sexing it's an hermi... :cry:

My fault, I think I was late up-potting her, though when I culled I examined the rootball and was rather undeveloped. :spanky:

I think the lesson I've learnt is the less you change their environment, the better; next time I'll sow ala farmerlion, directly in the vegging pot (70L/20gal).

Now I think I got the hang on watering soil and won't screw with seedlings outdoors.

Lebanese #2 seems sexualy firm.

Sorry for the picture quality... taking that in the wind with sooo lanky, exquisitely delicate sativas and and iphone trying to focus on the better contrasted background was quite a task :biggrin:

Update

Update

Zamaldelica Revegging

Zam seems to finally start revegging, I'd say in a rather nice way, no odd growth:

picture.php


Thinking on repotting her again, tempted to move her directly to the culled Lebanese 48gal smart pot? or would a smaller (22gal/80L) pot be better??

Lebanese (47gal/180L pot)

Ethiopian #1 (22gal/80L pot)

Ethiopian #2 (22gal/80L pot)

This one has a distinctive darker green, with the thinnest fingered leaves.

Hi repuk,

Apologies for the lebanese hermie, don't think it's your fault, looks like it was genetically induced, although we didn't find hermies in our outdoor tests with this P3 lebanese generation, the strain had plenty of hermies in P1 and P2 generation so guess a few hermies may still can pop in this P3 generation although we selected against it. 8 P2 males were also involved in the production of this P3 generation and this adds more variability.

Looking at the positive side of things, the other females recently transplanted look very nice and should have a very vigorous growth in July and August.

Wish you are having a great start of summer!

:thank you: dubi!

I thought they were undeveloped? So you see them fine?

Having a great summer for sure! Lovely stashed and watching the outdoor girls grow! :biggrin:

How do you see them pheno-wise? Will get better pictures.

What would you do with the Zamaldelica? Should I repot to the pot where the culled Lebanese was? (has already bat guano mixed on the bottom layer) or to a smaller pot with just compost/humus mixed in?

Repuk, I'm really liking the Honduras you have going. I donated my Honduras seeds to a friend in Oregon. They are more suited to his light cycle.
As far as re potting goes, I would leave them alone this season. What you might gain with a larger pot. Could easily be offset by stress from switching. I would just start large next season and let them roll this year. Dubi certainly knows his genetics better than me. Have a great week my friend. Peace

Hola Repuk!

Seems your plans are enjoying the Spanish sun.
I'v enjoyed catching up with the thread. Things are looking well ;) What will you do with the herm?
Also I'v found the iOS app halide helpful, as it has a manual focus mode - I'm no photographer, but its a little less irritating then trying to get it to focus where you want otherwise. Happy growing.
