I'd pluck that and see where it goes from there. Maybe it don't wanna be male. It's 2020 brother lol what can we do?
First grow! Looking for feedback!

Ok, so my judgement isn't too bad, at least in comparison to yours lol. Regardless I think I am going to keep them in the flower tent a few more days until I see a more definitive answer, at least for myself... trying to learn here haha. I appreciate your insight. It helps to have someone to bounce things off.

Yea there were a few where it was really hard to say. My First seed was sativa, real slim and when she showed sex.. the white hairs came before any calyx started really showing up. The ball shape is usually not good to the average grower.

I've also grown a male out as well.. I just don't talk about it. It's kinda that one relationship that you hate when it's brought up? lol kinda like that.

I could be wrong about 2 a white hair pops out he calyx and she's a winner.

Yea I'm keeping an eye on them all, only removing when I can confirm for sure it's a pollen sac.
On another note, I scraped one of those white things off that I was afraid might have been bugs, and it is like I said, some kind of shell or hardened liquid... strange.

That's weird. Never seen anything like that on a plant, or anywhere for that matter.

I'm wondering if it's from the foliar feed I did with epsom/pro-tekt. They didn't seem to really like it, the clones do though.

The ladies seem to be drinking quite a bit more this past 7-10 days. Needing water every 48-60 hours. They got pretty dry on me a couple of times. I didn't notice until this morning when I woke up, I called it an early night last night. Anyway, I gave them a small drink, roughly 2 gallons between the 6 of em. I will give them a full feeding soon.
In other news, I have identified the sex on most of the JinxProof pheno hunt. Sadly I think I am only going to be left with 5 females out of the 20. Going to keep one of each male that shows distinctive traits and collect their pollen. They've been moved into my sunroom downstairs, so no chance for contamination. Let's see if they even live down there very long, I am not giving them anything at all, just natural light and water when they need it. If they die, oh well, lol.

Quickly approaching harvest day! Coming up on day 56. I will do a photo update soon. Just wanted to chime in that everything is going well.
They're a little behind on the fade but that's because we had a week or so of warmer days and I already removed my A/C, so temps were still around 70 at night. Past few days we've been sitting around 65 and I'm starting to notice more purple coming through. Super excited! Everything is so gooey and stanky it's crazy. Had to take my filter off a while back to make more room in my tent, needless to say, the neighborhood stinks lmao. Good thing everyone is growing outdoors on my block haha. Thankful for good neighbors. Going to be changing the ducting a little once this first harvest is done, at that time I will reattach the filter, but outside of the tent.
I've re-introduced the Incredible Bulk supplement since I am in the final 3 weeks of flowering, increasing the dosage with every watering as recommended, so far so good. They're really fattening up, tops looking like they'll be about as big as a spring water bottle. I took a look at trichs, really starting to cloud up, no amber yet though.
I have to finish cleaning out the walk-in closet and seal the window up before the end of the week. I plan to hang the full plants in there. The room stays around 68F/58%RH, so it appears ideal, without even needing dehu/humi or anything. I'm going to clip a few 6" fans up high and put two oscillating fans in the room as well, focusing on moving the air above and below the plants without hitting them directly.
In other news, my second run is looking beautiful. Super robust and healthy-looking plants. Some fan leaves are enormous, like the size of both my hands together lol. They're in their second week of flower, I will be doing some defoliation in a few days, removing sucker branches and some lower fan leaves, as well as any leaves that are facing inward toward the stalk.
Clones are ready to go straight into the 5x5 once the current batch comes down, they were cut about 6 weeks ago, went into pots maybe 4 weeks ago. Still some mutated growth since they were monster cropped from the girls in flower around day 16. I am going to try stripping them down big time this second run, I have quite a bit of larf and waste down low on the current batch, I could have removed more but wasn't sure with it being my first go. I also believe I am going to go 100% Orange Blow, removing Blue Pops and Punch Bowl from the mix. Time will tell after I smoke them all... the Punch Bowl looks to be amazing, but the yield just won't be there and it doesn't grow as tall as the Orange Blow, so it would fck the canopy up again. We'll see how good she tastes and what the yield is like when I wash it.

A couple of attempts at focus stacking... less than ideal environment, can't wait til I dial it in. Scrog really makes it a pain in the ass. Gonna have some amazing photos at harvest though, that's for sure! First shot is of the Punch Bowl, second is of the Orange Blow.

So as I enter the final 7-14 days of flower, I ask myself... do I flush? The organic nutrients I am using, FOOP, say to just dial back until the end, no flush needed. Same for the Incredible Bulk PK supplement. What would you guys do? I was thinking I feed for one more week and then water only until harvest. Today is day 55 of flower and I will harvest anytime between day 63 and 70. Thanks in advance for any advice!

If you feed for another week that won't leave any time for the last of the nutrients to be consumed.
Why not just taper down the feeding now?

I have been tapering down for a couple of weeks. A few weeks ago I was feeding 35ml/gal, then I knocked it down to 30 ml/gal, and when I fed them last, about 2 days ago, I brought it down to 25ml/gal. Next feeding they'll get 12ml/gal, then I was thinking if they go any longer to just give water and sweetener/molasses.If you feed for another week that won't leave any time for the last of the nutrients to be consumed.

So, I want to create another journal once I finish this first grow, but I have some questions/need advice on my fungus gnat issue that is brewing in my other tent(s).
It seems like it originated inside of my 3x4 pheno hunting tent. One of the plants is a little smaller than the others, and I think it may have not been totally dry on my last watering or two, I think it's drinking slower, which makes sense.
I put up sticky cards the other day and so far have caught between 15-20 fungus gnats in the tent. I have yet to see any larvae.
I applied a dusting of DE (diatomaceous earth) tonight, which I am kind of regretting now, because I was planning on adding nematodes and hypoasis miles to the soil... should have done more research. With that being the case I am going to have to scrape the top layer of soil off tomorrow before watering...
In another case of not doing enough research; I went and ordered Azamax. After further reading, I decided I don't want to do a soil drench. Maybe I will use it for foliar stuff in the future. Another thing that will kill my beneficials in the soil...
I have some nematodes coming on Saturday, three kinds. I plan on introducing them over 3 waterings so they don't interfere with each other, starting with the ones that destroy fungus gnats. I also have some hypoasis miles coming that should be here next week or the week after. This should have been my first move, I think, as it seems everything else is going to harm beneficials.
I just kind of jumped the gun trying to get ahead of any type of infestation.
It's been a couple days since I first noticed them in the pheno tent, and it seems they've made the jump to my veg/clone tent... I have found 2 on the sticky traps I put in there. Like a dumbass all of those got dusted too, so I will probably have to scrape the top layer off that as well.
What do you guys think I should do moving forward? Any advice? Other than doing more research before jumping the gun... lol.
Oh and I also have some BTi (mosquito bits) on the way as well. I will get these little bastards one way or another. Definitely learning through this process haha.

I am way way way behind you in my knowledge, it's never ending sure enough, I am at the very early stage of everything, snapped a branch mainlining, just taped it and supported it for now, fingers crossed, looking at DIY Led setup, your ladies look amazing the end product will make it all worthwhile mate.
