pretty cool setup sticky.... it looks like your hoods are raised a bit you should completley lower them till the plants are about to touch the lights, you should get some more lights soon too...

They look a nice!!!!! lol

Ok check it out....the middle one I think is a hermie....before I was leaning towards male because the only 2 pre-flowers that I could see appeared to be male and still kinda do....

This morning tho I noticed on one of the upper nodes 2 little female pre-flowers! I was excited but still worried that maybe its a hermie...the other plant still has no signs i'm starting to think that it is asexual or sothing? if there is even such a thing...prob not...I'll just give it more time...

But as far as the hermie goes I have a good question....

If a hermie pollinates itself will the seeds all definitley be hermies?

what if a straight male pollinates a hermie? Will it just be like 50% chance some seeds are hermie?

Tell me what you guys think...

Thanks

Yeah, Hermie plants will produce hermie seeds. Chop all the hermie's or just pull off the pollen sacks and flower it. You want to stress a female plant to make it go hermie and then let it pollinate its self to produce fem seeds. I would wait a little longer to make sure it is a hermie before i chopped it. My large WW and ICE plants are 9" tall and have really thick stalks and really good node spacing.They are really starting to get a dank smell to them. I am just vegging in my AG Deluxe's with the T-5 CFL lighting. I am going to take clones off of them when they get to 24" and then flower the clones in my 2x2 ebb and flood tray with a 400W Super HPS in L Homebox using SOG. I should be able to fit about 18 clones in my tray. I had the the hoods raised to take the pics. Since i have taken those pics the plants have grown to that height in the pic and i have had to raise the hood back up. They are really growing like weeds..lol.

I guess i just get a little baked and forget... lol. I have been watching mine to try and sex them as well but i haven't been able to tell yet. Hopefully any day now. The suspense is killing me.

I think the one in the back left is a female! damn it took 23 days but whatever....It's my first LR2 grow ever so I'm learning their characteristics....

The middle one like I said may be a hermie...

and the other one (back right) is like hercules....so many balls and tremendous growth...

I'm wondering what I should do with the possible hermie....I have to inspect it closer and maybe give it some more time, before I truely know its a herm...

Heres a good question....

On a hermie.... at the nodes where it shows male pre-flowers, does this mean that the growth from that node will have male characteristics? I guess I'll find out with time, but was just curious...

thanks all

Well, I just cut a bunch of fan leaves from the main stem on all my plants to allow for more light and energy to other areas of the plant....I've done this before on a previous grow with no major observable problems...

What do you guys think about this?

Thanks Wam...

Yea I noticed that too...I think its because as a seedling I kinda ripped some of the skin off the stem...it seems to be doing ok and has since recovered pretty much...ya know? I mean the plant is doing fine...

But thanks for the observation...
