Now on day 4 of flower.
Now that weve cleared the ph hurdles , girls are looking fabulous

Well Awright...
Heres an update:
Day 43, day 8 flower:
Plants are tuning in and turnin up.
So I spent 25$ at lowes for a green light, locking door handle and some light seal crap.
Im at 1078$ and still under budget.

Im still not 100% on this pH pen and pulled out the GH ph test kit to compare. Hard to say, the lights may be a problem reading the colors and Im at the whatevs stage on the pH battle. Drops and pen are close enough for now.

So , I run 2.5 Gl in all but one bucket which gets 3 cause the netpot is shorter.
so that means I can mix up 15Gl nute solution and siphon it into each bucket(good) no measuring pouring each one (best)

And Ima runnin 600ppms again which means a 5/10 Gh Micro/Bloom ratio.
Anywho , I calculated 2ml superthrive works out to a drop a gallon which now that I think of it , is fucking wrong, but hey, I dont think 5 days of 3 drops a gallon will cause too much trouble. next time I'll put in around .7 ml .
That also means 75ml micro and 150 ml bloom in the mix res. Mixed em on up there and read about 5.5 ish on the pH. It took 20 ml ph up to correct us to 5.8 @15gl.

Res temps have been in mid 60s all week, so I wont add chlorine unless it creeps over 70F.
Room temps between 70-75 all week. RH has been an issue seeing 33-42 over the week.
That said , my therm/rh meter has not been in the canopy but right underneath the exhaust all week.
When I moved it back to the canopy (see pics) today and fired up both humies, its creeping up into the 50% range , so maybe my RH isnt an issue at all, or could be placement relative to canopy as well , because i did move them (the humies) back to right next to the plants.

Anywhoozle, I think we have a confirmed female. I looked at this crown this morning and it looked kinda like more leafage, but after cleaning up and stuff, about 4 hrs later , I looked under the loupe again , and this is, I believe , the first flower.



Also , I been trying to figure out the whole sex thing and , because this entire group has showed virtually the same looking stipules, Im still stumped as to whos what . I know this sounds crazy , But I think the entire group is girls. Even the lanky sativa dominant pheno I suspected as male has the same looking stipules.



Heres some pics , care to weigh in on me kids sex, IC?

Alright , so yeah , I placed some books under a couple of the smaller kids to even up the canopy too, check the pics.



And to finish off todays work , I did the ol med-man message, till they all looked nice and beat up. I gotta tell ya, this message, they adore. I get in there and twist and turn all of the branches and the stalks. I might even pich a lil crunchy here and there too. When I started doing this I noticed the stalks would split along the fibers , exposing the insides and was wary of infection or bad juju, but no , they heal up in a day and really respond with the cardio workouts.

Thats it for now, till next time,
Dooses!

I don't see anything in those three photos that would indicate sex. Maybe they are just a little grainy. Are there hairs coming out? I don't think that they are showing yet. I'm waiting on the last of three plants to show, so far it was one male and one female.

I check them every 12 hours, and in those 12 hours I've seen them go from nothing to showing a clear male cluster, or female hairs.

[Boyd Crowder]

Cool, thanks for the tip , moon.
I picked up some 4.0 solution today and popped in my pen.
waited about 90 seconds. boom - 4.0! Yay, my ph pen is working correctly!
Also picked up the parts I needed for a bubble cloner. Do yall wanna see me build and fill it up with clones?

Day 46 - 1.5 week into 12/12
Good news . One of my kids is showing flowers! woot!
Bad news - Pretty sure its a male.... Heres some pics , anyone wanna confirm?
Ill need to chop him tonight if so..

[catalyte]

its a boy!

congrats! LOL

[HarvestMoon303]

Chop him, that's a boy. Those balls show up fast, eh? I've been getting lucky lately, just by total coincidence, and I've had like 5/6 females. One boy is tossed out in the snow, dying.

Two lil hoodlums showed up to this pillow fight.
It hurt, but I showed these douchebags the door.
Tooks some pics of the murder scene wanna see em?
Im saving the roots and plants for medicine, just in case.
roots are def gonna get processed, the tops are just gonna sit there drying till i either find a use or a safe dumpster to ditch em.
these two men stunk high with the force, and sticky resiny at just 6 weeks- theys gotta be something useful in em if just a topical.
anywhozzle

You crack me up. It was a mercy killing. Right? Right? Their futures were not bright so they do not need to wear shades.

So you finally found him! Try not to let them go that long, he looked mature; some of those sacs will burst earlier than others, causing you problems.

Late to the show. Nice work so far Boyd! I'll be following from hear on out.

I like how your are documenting things, it will make your life a lot easier.
