I keep them in 1 gallons or less until they are ready to transplant. Not good to start in giant pots there's too much water when it rains and not enough roots to suck it all up. Drainage is a must in guerilla
Also after you cut buds you can put the stem in a cup of water and drops of food dye. Works well but it is just wrong to do that shit unless ur going for appeal
The South America strains are good like that panama you mentioned. They are vigorous outdoors, could cross it with a darker strain if u wanted to rlly go for the color
thanks this helped a lot. So far nothing besides that batch has flowered so hopefully the rest won't until later would heavy afternoon shade cause this? They get direct from 8-5 then heavy shade for the rest.
I do not ever kill any plant until I see the actual flowers but in my experience this does help me separate the ones I think are males until flowers show.
I think this is is good idea but honestly I doubt it will work. Auxins flow to the a highest points of plants, which direct energy and nutrient flow to the top(s). Regardless of light, it will still grow faster than the rest of the plant. I would just lst them. The only things I see coming out...
Over the last years I've noticed that male plants will tend be discoverable very early, around week 4 from seed simply by their smell. It is hard to explain this smell rather than a bland, spicy smell with a small skunk undertone. Of course,the strains natural smells will come through but that...
I got a batch that's about 4-6 weeks old started outside they are flowering now, have removed 3 males already 2 females so far) I am ok with them flowering, but I don't want them to revert back to veg and look all fucked up... They are mostly indica hybrids. Southeast.

If your not using pots, then you'd prolly be good with your plan of compost and garden soil. But I don't know your native soil. Think about some lime if your soil is off on ph
