PS Still no pre-flowers... son-of-a-b... so much for 24 hour dark! lesson learned.

well the 24 hours thing its really a guarantee that they will show faster, but im sure the will in no time, there staying pretty even, so that should be good

Care to elaborate the reasoning behind this? All that the 24 hour dark will promote is stretching. During the darkness the plant produces auxins that promote cell elongation aka stretching. I don't understand how a 24 hour dark period would make the plant mature any faster. If you would please elaborate

I mean to put isn't a guarantee

so stop trying to call me out, like you already did tom

if you got a problem with me, PM me dont bring this into other peoples thread man fa real

Man I am just going by what I see, you typed what I responded to man

Well Dale,....err,Shackelford, nice all around job, tent included. Gonna keep popping in to see how those colas do.

How are the clones doing?

Check the Party Cup Competition link in "SICC" signature, you can follow the clones progress there. To let you know, they have rooted and are in party cups now. Speaking oh which I'm fashioning a T8 light shelf today for their cabinet!

Oh and FYI first preflowers appeared on Liza today!! Nothing on Gwen just yet

We'll call today Day 1 of flower for Liza the heat is on for a March 6 harvest i wish!


Shack

Congrats man, Gwen has to e a female as well, cant wait to see some buds

Im a bit late but im taking a seat! Those are some healthy plants! Ive always wanted a 100-200w cfl. I don't like having to move so many lights around especially when you've got to get optimum light positioning for cfls. Anyways you've got it sussed!
Goodluck

first signs of sex on Gwen appear to be herm..
One stem, pistils up top surrounding new growth, and undeveloped pollen sacs on lower nodes.
Still early though, lower nodes could be female just waiting for her hairs to show
(AND THAT BETTER DAMN WELL BE THE CASE! )


Shack

aw shit, sorry to hear bout the herm. hopefully she turns out ok and makes up her mind
still looks good though

i'm not concerned she's a female, just needs sometime.


Shack

she got hairs all over the place now. i'm going to put off a photo update till sunday for dramatic effect.


Shack

PS I'll post some shots of my clones later. they are BEAUTIFUL!

so one female one hermie?

nope! both females my brotha!!!
had concerns at first, but more pistils appeared.
things are doing just fine!!

putting serious thought into keeping these clones though.
veg'ing them in party cups till i'm done flowering in my tent. taking another clone or two from each then upcanning to 1 gal pots and flowering.
the world's most bizarre perpetual.

Cool stuff shack, cant wait to see the result!
