nice growing man

my plants havent pre-flowered. I dont want to flower prematurely and have my plants go hermie on me. Is this likely if I try to flower today? Should I wait it out. I read that force-flowering doesnt speed up the flowering anyway, it just increases chances of herming. Any advice?

so these are seeds and not clones? you should take some clones of each and flower them to see which ones are which. then keep the mothers and do a load of clones. like your setup tho and I'm switching to a dwc myself pretty soon after this last run with soil I think. scribed

Turns out my plants were in pre-flower, I just didnt look carefully enough. I got 3 females and 3 males, no hermies!, cant complain I suppose. Actually to my surprise, the biggest healthiest one is a female!

My light cycle is on a 400w 16/8 HPS now and I added some phosphorus based organic ferts to the res. Basically, I am trying to coax them into flower, dont want to shock them right from 18/6 MH to 12/12 HPS. Figure this gradual shift is more like what happens in nature. Ill go to 12/12 on Day 35 like I planned before. I have a new lumatek ballast with a "super lumen" switch that Ill also turn on Day 35. This switch is only to be used with HPS bulbs, adds 10% more energy = more lumens

Thanks for scribin notorious, I figured I could have flowered clones but I thought itd take too long. Cuz they gotta get rooted first then flower, seems like itd take 4 weeks by itself and I could just get to pre-flower in that time anyway.

I ended up with some large males that Ima use for hash eventually. I did take cuttings from the three females that Ill just perpetuate in my mini dwc. I got some other mystery clones too that Ill pop into the large DWC later in the flower cycle to determine sex.

The ladies will be starting the flower cycle tonight. You can see the heavy red spectrum light on the plants from the HPS now.

I noticed that the new growth on my largest plant starts out pretty yellow and greens up later. The other two are fairly deep green color all the time. Is that normal or an indication of nitro def or perhaps some other deficiency?

...they startin to smell a lil skunky...mmm. Is it weird that it makes my mouth water?

yeah, I just started flower 2 days ago. I started looking up some info on scrog and it seems many folks "train" their plants on the screen for a bit in veg before flowering. I obviously didnt do this but I am quite space limited so I wanted to start now.

I tried to add a screen to them today but I nearly broke off one of the main stems on my largest plant. I splinted it and hope it recovers...think Ill try scrog on my next grow

lookin great man!

My girls looked like that, and then grew about 18 inches in 5 days during flowering...AKA ur in for a real treat here soon!

You can still use a Scrog to train them, In fact i would highly recommend it! great work! I cant wait to trade harvest pics brotha!

yea man. its a lot easier training them when they're younger. scrog's are typically easier with more sativa dominant plants too compared to those stalky indica's that are a little harder to train. if you're really inclined to try it, you could, just gotta be super careful. as you already know
