Looks female but I prefer to wait for a pistil to show to call it.

That’s what I think too. I don’t see any need to do anything. More asking out of curiosity and to improve my understanding of the plant. Don’t want my curiosity to come across as impatience.

You really love to get a jump on things. Space is @ a premium, I get it. To early for me to call. I think you need another tent. lol
Alternate branching is a good sign.

I love to get a jump on things and know as much as possible about things. I’m still relatively new to this and want to have the best info. Still a little unsure of certain things and sometimes I try to add extra theory to make up for lack of experience, if that makes any sense. I have 3 tents and no more space for a fourth, unfortunately.

WOW, 3 tents, I'm jealous! I always wait for pistols/balls as eso said. You don't want to go down that road again. Knowledge is great, patience is a virtue. I am interested in that alum. foil thing, never heard of that.

Yeah a 3x3 for veg, another one for flowering, and a 2x2 for clones and seedlings. I only recently put this together, after more than a year of cutting corners. A year ago I was like every other noob trying to reinvent the fucking wheel as cheaply as possible, you know doing the exact same shit that makes me facepalm now when I see other noobs doing it. I really only started investing in tents and good LEDs at the beginning of this year because I realized there’s only one way to do it right. Now I’ve got all the good equipment but just lack experience. One day I may actually get good at this and stop fucking up at critical points, like culling and harvesting too soon.

You should give yourself a pat on the back man. You've got the experience. Sure there are little nuances, problems might arise where you need to pick someone else 's brain, but the one thing no one else can teach you is PATIENCE. You have to acquire that on your own, Grasshopper.

My guess would be that (she) is female. If it was mine, I would be giving it favorable treatment but still waiting for the pistils. Probably only a few days away.

I’m getting there. Hasn’t been so much a lack of patience as a lack of perspective and understanding. Things are starting to get rewarding and the patience and dedication so far have paid off, even with a few mistakes. Tomahawk and sky master at day 29. Loving how frosty they’re both getting. Don’t want to screw up and cut these early. Last time I chopped when most of the trichomes were cloudy but I think if I had waited another week the buds would have been way denser.

Dont just go off trichs. Wait till you get that look were it looks like you could pluck a nug off and smoke it. Sugar leaves are yellowing and tips pointing up almost curling. Ripe

Nice. I use a mycorrhizal inoculant in my soil too. Always been a fan of that stuff. That’s a great description of how to know when a bud is ripe. There’s a lot of info out there that makes it more complicated than it needs to I guess.

Anyway I just snagged a pack of city slicker for their 30% off sale. Hopefully that one does better than the ice cream punch.

Can't remember where I learned this trick, but I cut one of the first branches in veg, then stick it in a cup of distilled h20 w/ alum foil and sex the branch in 2 weeks. keep them out of direct light. Saves a ton of time for reg seeds if you're tossing males.

I've been doing that for years, minus the foil and distilled water. I just drop them in a cup of tap water

So the idea is basically to cut off a single branch and trigger it instead of flipping the whole plant? That’s cool. I put two bodegas that I think are female in one gallon bags with some granular nutes. No pistils yet but I’m confident enough in these two to transplant and number them.

Burnt tips, clawing, whorled leaves, lockout of mobile nutrients evidenced by deficiencies. Check your pH too. I see it in your medium and large plants.

EDIT: forgot to add Rockwool cube is probably contributing to this. You can see your bigger plants growing out of the yuckface and acclimating to the nutes but your starters are very bad.

I’d like to know more about what I’m doing wrong. Seriously I’m not being sarcastic I would rather my mistakes be pointed out right away so they don’t keep causing me trouble. I post my shit on here for feedback on what I can do better, not any sort of flexing bullshit. I recycle, compost, and amend my soil but don’t do any sort of concentrated nutes in veg unless I get a deficiency. I lower the PH of my water to 6 - 6.5 every single time. I’ve suspected something is off in veg though because of the occasional plant yellowing, although burned tips are extremely rare. Anyway I dunno how to check the soil PH because I never water enough for runoff, but I don’t know what could jack it up besides the bone meal and chicken manure that goes into my soil occasionally. I only water when the soil dries out completely too, and finally, I’ve never had plants do that with the curled leaves, not to mention that bad a germ rate. The rockwool usually works perfectly. But I’ll reiterate. When those plants looked so shitty in the first pic, I had never fed them and had just recently transplanted them into the pots. They started looking shitty when I planted the rockwool cubes in the really small square plants. Maybe that had something to do with it but I’d love some more info on maintaining soil PH and keeping that from happening. Last time I had a plant that looked weird it was a bodega and someone identified the problem as a P deficiency. I’m scared of over feeding and not good at identifying deficiencies, and that’s probably the main problem.

Purple Chem, Texas Butter, Stardawg coming along nicely.

A couple of them are in pretty desperate need for a transplant tho , haven’t been able to find more grow bags anywhere nearby but I think I found them so will try tomorrow. They should recover , kinda worried about one of the stardawg , it started to just droop and look sick today, roots have busted through the bottom of container and are now trying to take hold in another plant’s container. If I don’t get grow bags for it by tomorrow early I think it’s a wrap for that guy/girl.

Other than that things are good mostly. All smell really nice so far in veg. The large Texas Butter reeks like gas already so I hope that one a girl as well as one of the Stardawgs that is noticeably louder than the others. Topped a few of them this week, looks like they recovering nicely, debating on second top/fim or not when they’re able to.

Second pic is the one TB that str8 stanks.
Peace y’all ✌
