Nice. Looks like your ice cream punch turned out better than mine, although this one pheno has redeemed herself somewhat. I didn’t expect her to turn purple either. Still not a keeper though.

Yeah mine doesn’t smell like much either. I’ve read that purple punch can be lacking in the terp department, and indeed my purple Larry doesn’t smell like much as well. I was hoping for some intense lemon since they’re 75% Larry OG. I’m hoping the rum runner has better terps.

Can’t decided whether to do that or jelly pie next. I was gonna run them head to head but I don’t think I have enough room. My bodega is starting to get pretty big, and after my last run’s sexing debacle I want to let every plant grow until the preflowers are fully visible to the naked eye and not risk it with the jeweler’s loupe method because space is getting tight. I’ve got 5 chem pie, 2 grape punch, and 8 macdawg sprouts that need to do their thing before I pop any more beans.

If I had been more diligent about writing shit down, I would have more info on when the stardawg crosses actually show fully formed preflowers visible to the naked eye. Since I’ve never cared all that much about how long veg takes I’ve never written that down. Maybe I should start. What I can say is that it does vary a little. Tomahawk took a really long time to show pistils and sky master did quicker. I got my tomahawk seeds in mid January and popped them right away (got a bit better info looking through my order history). Popped my sky master a week later (pretty sure) and it was the first to show pistils. The lanky stardawg leaner showed pistils surprisingly quickly, but I don’t think anything took less than two months to show sex, except for the rum runner, which I’m not counting because it’s feminized and the two beans I popped grew exceptionally fast. What I can say about the rum runner is that I ordered the beans on 3/9, waited a bit to pop them, and put them into flowering on 5/22, after pistils had already been visible for a couple weeks because I was waiting for space to open up in my tent.

I've grown both Jelly Pie and Bodega and they are very good smoke-the Stardawg male does them proud. I think that the Cake n' Chem is a winner, but I;ll know for sure when I light that first joint in about 4 months

I actually have 4 but all it takes is one good one and I will clone the hell out of it

Typically a good healthy plant will show sex in 30 days of veg. The smaller the pot they're in the faster they'll presex.

My bodega is about 5-6 weeks into veg. All very compact and pretty uniform. Node spacing is super tight. I waited a while to top them so I could snag a bunch of clones rather than topping them early for manifolding. I’m hoping for a nice selection of females and to find one that reminds me of the bubblegum I used to get back in the day. I’m sort of leaning towards doing jelly pie next and then cake and chem.I've grown both Jelly Pie and Bodega and they are very good smoke-the Stardawg male does them proud.

I’ve noticed this, and my method is generally to keep them in 5 inch square pots until they show preflowers and then transplant the (sometimes incorrectly) identified ones into one gallon plastic nursery bags. I guess where I’m screwing up is not being able to tell those super tiny male and female preflowers apart. I’ve always been under the impression that male preflowers look kinda like a closed fist on a tiny stem and females are more teardrop shaped, but this method has not worked very well for me. As sharp as my eyes are I’m just missing something, and I don’t trust myself to identify them before pistils show anymore.

I always wait till I see a pistol or a fully formed ball. I've been tricked by those in between preflowers before.

Now this could be coincidence, but I’ve noticed that a lot of my plants that end up being female switch to alternate branching earlier. Is there anything to this or is it indeed just a coincidence?

I'm not sure. That would be a good experiment to observe to see if that is a viable option. I'll have to check that out next seed run.

Got a lil Purple Cake dried from the spring 
tester run. Not a heavy producer, and can be a bit leafy depending on pheno. Very exotic smoke with a good dollop of grape vanilla. High bag and nose appeal. Stone hits u quick and is more hybrid-style with some energy but a slap in the face of indica mellow right behind it. Happy Memorial Day to
all.
