Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

DrunkMonkey said:

feedback anyone?

QUESTION(s): How long does it take for sex to show once moved to flower? (i'm afraid the wait is going to make some of my veg plants too big. Is there a better way to identify sex in my existing Veg plants?

hey DrunkMonkey , excellent post
thanks for all your efforts and for sharing this with us

as for sex showing
here is one way to tell, in the event of the following conditions meet
if you seeded all at the same time, and the seed are all the same strain
you will first notice a height difference between males and females
unlike real life, the male sprout much faster then the female
at the same age you will notice quite a height difference
the taller ones will be your males, and will start sprouting nuts soon after

where did you get the try and which plugs are these?

So, I'm taking some pictures and I noticed a couple of differences on my plants. Would the knowledgeable panel take a look at these and let me know if these are female calyx? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

Just topped my plants for the first time....these plants are about 4 weeks into Veg (all from seed).

I clipped the very top of the stem, right above the most recent pair of branches

They went from "super vibrant and stiff" to "super drab" in about three hours...they feel really limp and weak now.

Does anyone know if they're going to recover? Is this normal?

[HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF].....sorry folks. I made a rookie mistake. Apparently, the water level in my veg bin went below the intake of my pump shortly before I topped my plants. The droopy reaction was the girls starving for drink. They don't like me too much right now: starve'em then cut'em.

Yeah, I was a bad daddy today!!

16 oz off of 14 plants is 1.15 oz per plant........thought i was smoking too much for the earlier math
without co2 this will be tough...with i think its doable

SB's only using CO2 in his flower room, correct? I didn't see any mention of CO2 in his clone/veg closet

Rookie question alert. Should you FIM or trim a plant before it's sex is determined? Any thoughts on which would be a better method? Any Fimmers or trimmers out there.
Thanks. I've read 1000 opinions either way and some help from this forum would be greatly appreciated and respected.
Peace.

they seem like fem, no nuts visible yet in the pictures you posted
(once you see a male developing, you will never confuse it for a female again)


here is what to look for (nuts coming out between the petioles and stalk)






here is yours for comparison

Awesome info. I'll put up some more pics and keep a close eye over the next couple of days. Thanks for the help, again.
Peace

I found this chart about the meters from Hanna. It looks like the difference is how the EC & TDS are measured. Temp & PH are the same.

They are both the same - just depends where you prefer the decimal point! microSiemans vs miliSiemans - 1 micorSieman (mS) = 1000 miliSiemans (uS)

I think mS is the more common unit of measurement in our application - as most books, and nute labels, for example, will refer to EC as 2.0mS rather than, 2000uS - seems more likely to confuse with PPM's too! Note 1000uS = 700PPM (unless calibrated otherwise)

Quick question. If I am filtering/scrubbing the room with an INTERNAL activated carbon filter/scrubber, will it absorb CO2?

I've been following this thread almost from the beginning (and now we just passed 500 pages!), and mostly all I have been able to contribute is questions asked. So...to offer something more substantial, I have created a PDF of the first 500 pages of this thread. Of course it comes out to substantially more pages in PDF format! This was a labor of love as it takes forever to remove all the extraneous info that shows up as you copy each page. I will update the pdf every 100 pages that are added to this great thread and let you know when I do it.

Below is the URL to go to for the pdf. It is just a tad under 40 megs, so I hope most of you have a high speed connection. It is a free site so click on the appropriate links to get to the download page. And only one person can d/l at a time, so have patience.

The neatest thing about having the whole thread in PDF format is that it is easy to search for anything by word association. This should be helpful especially for newbies to this thread, but hopefully the oldtimers find it useful, too.

very important what you have just did, I've had my share of time on the net
peps may not realize it now, but when they'd need it and the site is down
this is GOLD

btw: I'm your first copy downloader, i think

Yeah...that's why I originally started creating the pdf. I was so afraid that this site would go down or heaven forbid, go away completely. I couldn't stand the thought of all this great info...and it is fantastic info...wisping away into cyber oblivion.

Cool...if you're the first one, will you make sure it d/l's and looks okay?

I'd appreciate it.

Great! Glad you like. And you are the first one to tell me I'm nuts (on this website), but you're right, I have been called off my rocker in the past.
