Shady's first grow. Any comments are welcomed

So I'm thinking something is definitely needing to be done to the blue pot. RIU ideas?

i only saw a couple of your pictures; this is a new computer, so it might be and update thing.

the one you called droopy looks fantastic. can you load a couple new pics and i can see if it's on my side? i tagged this thread, so i'll be around

Really? Well that just shows I judged my plant by its cover lol. I'll upload some more

looks like you had a slightly rough start, but new growth is fine. carry on, and good growing!

make sure you saturate when you water, then allow time for the soil to lighten and dry. everything looks good and on track though!

Hard to tell if the plants are pale or it is the CFL lights. Can you get a picture in sunlight or in the dark with a flash. You can also use the white balance feature on your camera and select the CFL option.

Might need a little nitrogen. Use fish it is stinky but gentle.

i used this twice, my plants hated it. if i ever did it again, and i probably will, i'd dilute to the max, and work up strength over the course of a few feedings. i love that the label hasn't changed in over ten years!

I have started using their veggie dry product. It is the perfect blend and it has added calcium.

Okay week 4 UPDATE

Blue pot has Alot more undergrowth and still growing steadily, although I can see more leaves having the wrinkly look. I've watered when it's noticeable that it is dry, which is usually about every 3-4 days.

I also transplanted the green potyesterday to add more soil. It was drying out very fast andbecame droopy, so I suspected it may be close to root bound. It is still droopy but I'm thinking maybe stress from the move??Not to worried unless it doesn't improve.

Thanks for the read guys

Also this is week 1 of 12/12. Ifyou see any preflowers please let me know. Thanks


Blue pot
green pot

Might want to move up to T5HO bulbs.

Seen possible male preflowers on green pot at the very top node. Looked like 2 or 3 balls in a group. Can recognize it from other photos on RIU. I'm going to give it a few days to make sure then it will be chop time.

I read that males show faster into 12/12 or in maturity in general. So this gives me hope that blue pot ( my favorite from the start) will be female. Also blue pot has become VERY bushy. To the point where the branches are getting stuck underneath another.

So would maybe tying them down to give them space be a good idea at this stage?

Thanks
Shady

P.s. I would have uploaded a pic of the possible preflower, but I can't get a good enough pic to be able to show. Im not going to even try and make you guys strain your eyes lol

I have had sativa strains that took forever to show sex. The more times you do this the sooner you will be able to tell which ones are male. They are usually the best (fastest) growing plants.

Yeah I'm almost 70% sure it's a cluster of nuts lol. I'll keep an eye on it the next few days

The tip of the plant has a different structure with males too. It reminds me of a crown.

Yeah it was definitely a male. Had a ton of clusters of sacks that I didn't see at first glance. Also the top was a harder round top. Kind of like a nipple if that males sense.

So R.I.P to the green pot.

Some OG strains will have a few stem balls on the females when grown from seed. You can just pick them off and the clones of those plants will be ball free.

In your setup it is probably better to only have one plant. Has the remaining plant shown sex yet?

This was alot more than a few lol. Nearly the whole top node had clusters on all sides. The blue pot is looking so nice though. 7 growing branches, very bushy and skunky. Can't wait to see her grow.

I'll post an update on the blue in a few days after the branches have filled out a little more. Had to fold some of the leaves under them to get more light. But now it has lights on all sides since the green pot has left alot of room.

No but I see a suspect growth I think might be a preflower. Right in the pit of the node and it's pointed. Keeping an eye on it.

Well blue pot is a girl. Seen the first full pistil with white hair. Glad I planted too now. Also glad this is the one I fimmed
