thanks I will do that, also got a question... my preflowers coming in...1 has pistils starting... 1 definitely a male... the other 2 looks like they could be male preflowers, but they have a split in the middle of the pod... it looks like pac man almost... I checked a few and same thing... looks like a little round ball with a split down the middle... is this the start of male or female preflowers? almost looks as if they will turn into pistils... they are pointed at end. I want to pull all males ASAP

20170117_135707.jpg 20170117_135757.jpg 20170117_140450.jpg These are the best I could get... these are off the top of the plant.. 2 of the plants have them a node or 2 down further, but impossible to get pictures, the ones I couldn't get pictures of also look more pointy and look more split.. .but this hopefully can help. I'm gussing atleast 2/3 are males.. praying the 3rd is female as it is more pointed than the other 2

that's what I was thinking... too early to tell ... It must just be how I am.. .check check and recheck and then eventually it drives you nuts and ask too many questions :weed: time to chill out for a week. Thanks pineappleman. huge help as always!

Its hard not to be up there asses lol. Im a turbo checker too... always have been... But i look now and enjoy them and let them tell me what they need instead of always feeling like it would die if i let it be for a minute.

haha nice term I like that, turbo checker... catchy... yeah I don't feed them too much but I like to check it out and see what they need, nutes or some bug termination etc... I know they won't just die (as you say, its just a plant/weed ) but I do like to look at them.. I'm sure that will burn out over time. I'm trying to see what I think they will be, then see how they actually turn out, so I know what works and what doesn't.

personally I don't mind some seeds in buds, but like you say, as long as you get them out. after my first few I will start trying to do some clones and crosses... should get exciting! good work!

1 step at a time...im startng with learning growing normally first, then I will take additional steps , as with any other type of growing, and eventually you will have an arsenal of material to use to grow the best, biggest, fattest, juiciest buds ever! 1 step at a time definitely the way to go! I spent less than $250 on my grow, and it will last me enough supplies to do 2-3 grows.
