OK so after a bit more waiting I've managed to sex all but one LVRK.

4/4 ItPxA13 Male. I was looking forward to these vigorous plant so am bummed out. As soon as I can I'll plant the remaining seeds of these. 2 of the males have a nice sweet smell to them in veg.

2/4 LVRK Female! 1 definite male, one unknown.

1/3 FPOG female

I'm hoping that last LVRK is female but it looks more male leaning.

Probably tomorrow or Sunday I will top then transplant. Or transplant then top.

Too bad about the ITP, they were looking real good too. Well if you didn't get a fem outta the first round at least you'll most definitely find one in the rest.

Things have been quite busy here but I finally remembered to bring a sack of rockwool home from work and potted up the remaining ladies. They were topped about a week ago and responded ok.






LVRK #2




LVRK#2 in new home




All 6(1 FPOG, 3 LVRK, 2 non-baked beanz) are now in 2gal fabric pots. Probably their final homes unless I decide to cut the smart pots and transplant into 5 gal E&F buckets instead of using a tray.


I have 3 ITPxA13 seeds that i've been debating popping to make the title of this thread less of a lie.

Look nice, and bushy. Hope it all goes well. Love to see what that FPOG looks like in flower.

Looks like things are about to get interesting.

Move-in date got pushed back another month and I'm too impatient to wait until Nov/Dec to flower these girls.

I've taken everything out of the tent except 3xLVRK y 1xFPOG.

The space is 60cm x 80cm so quite small and things might get a little cramped. I will probably be fairly aggressive on defoliating and take a lot of clones as well. It's getting really hot here during the days and the tent is in a closet so I'm not sure if I can get away with using an HPS(no AC in apartment) or if I'll stick to LED(which I don't really like). I'll toss in an air cooled reflector(which might not fit too well in the end) and see if I can get away with a 400. Lights on will be 11pm-11am or so.

I had wanted to flower them under a DE bulb to try it out but that is definitely out of the question for my space.


Tomorrow I'll switch to 12/12, which only gives 3 days since transplant but they should be ok. I'm shooting for an end of November harvest.

One LVRK is very cranky in general and doesn't like anything I do so we'll see how she handles flower. If I have to I'll yank her out to make space for the others.

Wow, those are some bushy LVRK. Mine are not showing that kind of branching at all and most needed to be topped to provide a clone.

You do not see many folks here using the rockwool croutons. I have been using them in veg recently and the root growth and veg speed of plants in wool compared to coco pith is way faster. Anyhow, it will be exciting to see how they grow for you.

This LED I'm using(that I don't like) seems to make things a bit bushier than normal. I did top it once but it looked pretty much like that before. That might be my imagination though but the FPOG is just as bushy(pics to come soonish)

I like rockwool a lot. Those croutons make it a breeze for the roots to spread out. I haven't done much with coco but I like the croutons much more than hydroton. Every couple of weeks(or months) I top feed and flush out a little with 1/3 strength nutes or so if I am using the croutons. I don't know if it is necessary and I don't always do it.

I probably would've transplanted into 1gal pots instead of 2gal if I had known I'd be flowering now.

all my LVRK have been cranky plants LOL and Like Caljim, mine don't want to branch at all. Even under the 940hps for a week n a bit now, mine are just totem poles LOL
they sure do stink tho.....

she,s worth putting up with for the shear quality , i,ve crossed a few of my better lvrk with couple things try to make her little more forgiving , like headbanger and black lime .

she does,t like wet feet i know that , mine have been going along smoothly with less care ,
