Thanks Chronic,

I will play around my levels of Nitrogen... not too much to make sure that nothing too extreme happens...

Quick update...
La Nina (Plant 1)... looking great... she is the girly girl of the bunch.....

La Pinta (Plant 2)... I'm losing hope a little bit.... i will attach pictures of her and you can help me out with the sexing.... i think she looks like a male....

La Santa Maria,(Plant 3) Is looking bushy, beautiful and now i'm 75% she is a female.....

All pictures are of plant 2, La Pinta in order to get somefeedback on what you think of her!!!
]Thanks...

Hey Dippers. I have had the same problem with 1 of my ladys. Purple stems in due to heat stress, nitrogen def., or genetics as some strains have this characteristic. Do you have any idea of what strain it might be? Or like me, can you only guess. I have a question. Since there are so many diffrent strains, hybrids out there, how can one be sure what they have? For all we know, theres hybrid- hybrids, 4 strains in 1. Very confussing????

My bad InDippers. Disregard my last post about purple stems. This is not caused by a nitrogen def. but a phosphorus def. And not only does heat stress cause this, but cold temps to. Again, sorry for the misleading info. Friends don't hand friends cashed bowls. lol

Hey midnight,

thanks for the help!!! and you certainly don;t hand a cashed bowl!!! just not polite!!! hehehe

To all,

To give you guys a quick update on my plants... I woke this morning (i'm in europe) made some needed updates to my growhouse... It's looking GHETTOLICIOUS!!! but to be honest the plants grew so much overnight that La Santa MAria suffered a little heat stress for touching the lights. i've solved this problem already, (they really just sprung up!!!) I also pulled what i'm 90% sure is a male (so i'm not taking any risks!!) So the two left are La Niña and La Santa Maria.... They are looking great but scared that the heat stress might have cause internal damage to La Santa Maria.... if you guys know... tell me if this could have cause terminal damage to her....
Santa MAria for some reason, her white hairs are much smaller, and are not showing in so many places as La Niña's hairs, but she IS showing pistils....
But hoping that she is just a bit of a late bloomer!!!!

For the purple steam regarding heat, ive done everything i can about this... the CFL's are 2-3 inches from the plants.... but they seem to grow like crazy ,in my next watering (in about 2 days) i'm feeding her nutes...i've increased the nutes to about 75% strength and the nutes i'm using is guano NPK 4-5-6... (this is all i could find where i live, since i don't have access to all these fancy name products!! i'm keeping the pH b/t 6.0-6.5. Let me know if i can improve this NPK formula!!!

Side NOTE..i don;t know what to do with my baby boy... In each node, around the new set of springing leaves he is showing (2-4) ball sacks on the top 3 branches and going down....could i use this for hash??? i'm not planing on germinating any kind of seeds, since these plants are from bagseed....but if there is any usable THC in this plant... i would like to use it!!! Any suggestions?????
Thanks all
I'll post some some pics when i get a chance!!! let my girls rest for a while, they had a rough morning!!!!!

Hope all is well with your guy's crops!!!
InD

While doing the forms in the Military, one Guy, when ask "Sex", He wrote, Not Yet".

See my post "growing males" in this section.

Hey Dippers. I would just throw that plant out or feed it to my turtles! lol If a male does produce THC, its probly a very small amount, not worth it to me. But like I said before, inspect your plants everyday. As soon as I saw pistils coming out of most the node sites, I assumed it was 100% female, so I didn't inspect it as much. Well I came in one day and noticed some orange/white powder on the lower leaves. Well I looked at all the branching on my plant and it turns out that a male flower (which was growing directly next to a female flower) had already opened, released its pollen, and died. Now I'm sure half my crop is ruined but the top colas should be fine. Not to upset cuz even though its bagseed, I think it is a good strain, whatever it is. And I wouldn't mind growing it again. Now my ? is, if a female pollinates itself will the seeds be the same exzact thing? All replies are welcome.
