Alright. Took those last two ATFs and popped them hoping for at least one girl. One didn't take. Fingers crossed on the last one. Popped most of the other pack of SSDD in order to get something to compare to my one girl. All five are doing very well - just getting the first true leaves.

The one female is doing well at 10 days PF.. About 26" in a 5 gallon. Looking forward to her.

If I don't get two females out of this six, I will initiate contact with B. Part of me wants to because he seems a decent sort, but I hate to be a whiner.

Got a pic? What does the plant look like? Anything w/o a look is just a worse guess, If it's a sudden problem - if it looks over watered - check the oxygen supply. Pumps can die; strong roots can suffocate air stones and even strangle air lines. ph has to be 'in the zone'.

I don't know what 'great white' is, but I'd probably scrap a plant that had root rot.

I'm not the guy to ask for anything more than basics. But changing the reservoir at least every week after two vigorous weeks from bean keeps root problems at bay, ime. Any problems that you can't figure out - dump the reservoir, flush, and refill w/ a nute solution ph adjusted. I'd also suggest popping a couple of extra beans each grow - backups - because sometimes it is a bad bean.

Apologies for a non-Bodhi reply. Oh wait....let me make it a Bodhi post !! Here's the closet after haircut day.

See if i was to up my pot size to 5 or 7 gals i would need to veg alot longer to get them nice and rooted up before flower.
Yield would be better but that comes with a longer veg time anyhow! So i dont see the + when your groing in cycles, now i could flip them sooner and hope that during the 2weeks of pre
Flower that the roots would use all the extra coco but im thinking there will be waste

Reg seeds ?
They are a crap shoot, sometimes it just don't work out in our favor.
Good luck to you though bro.

You could say that about any seed.
I haven't had a fem. seed produce anything I want to keep long term.
The only female I found in my first 5 regular seeds is better than the 60+ fem. seeds I've grown in the past.

Luck of the draw mostly...

I was referring to the male/female ratio when popping reg seeds.
I've never gotten a male from fem'd seeds & have been lucky enough to bump into some amazing phenos over the years.

Do the clip on ones have padding on the place where it clips? Ireally don't want to scratch my lens...
On a side note... why are method 7s the best? Wouldn't any pair of sunglasses with UV protection do the trick?
Could not tell you. I do not use clip ons because I only wear corrective glasses when I drive or read for long periods of time. Its really popular would not say the best. There are other companies that offer cheaper glasses I believe one company is called Active Eye. I believe only difference is that method seven you get a fancy case lol. In theory it probably would and I am sure its just a way companies can get customers saying oh yeah get our glasses because it is specific for growing under artificial lights do not get regular UV glasses.

Yeah.. i think my best bet is going to be using a hat. I spend most of my time on the floor when mixing nutes and watering my plants. When I stand I just use my hand.

I've got to ask you - how much do you believe that?

The reason I'm asking, is I've been shopping amazon for eye protection ever since the question was raised. Method 7 has a pair for $150, and another @ $79, and from the descriptions I can't discern what the difference is as both say for hps.Another pair @ $45 is by LUMii, but not specific for hids, just uv and ir.

I've noticed declining vision the last few months - had to buy a pair of reading glasses when I could no longer read microwave cooking instructions. I guess what I'm saying, is if I'm doing damage to my eyes every day, then it needs to stop. $150 is only a lot of dough until you can't see, then you'd spend whatever you've got to get it back I think.
