2nd grow, indoor AK-48 (fem)/ bagseed

Well this is my second grow. My first grow was a failure. Out of the 6 seeds that cracked, only 2 survived past seedling stage. I was disappointed but I wasn't going to let it stop me from trying again.

So I started doing more research. I must have spent like 3 months almost just reading anything I could get my hands on about cultivation. Wow it was an eye opener. During my information rush I ran across a very excellent grow guide to bubbleponics. It was here on this site and the author is ROSEMANN. I recommend his guide to anyone that wants to grow cheaply and efficiently.

Here I am on the 2nd week of bloom 12/12 light cycle following ROSEMANN's guide. All i can say is im so impressed with the results so far.

Ill keep this updated as often as i can.
Peace

My plants are growing so fast, they are crowding each other for light. I am starting to freak out.

I ask myself should i add more lights? And what's worse is I am having a hard time sexing the smaller plants. I know, I know, I know, i have at least 3 females. They are in the front. And one is so huge that she is crowing the smaller ones. The 3 in the back and the one in the shoe box dwc are bagseeds. So I dunno if those will be male or female. I've never had a male plant but i know that the pollen sacs look like tiny banana bunches.

I guess I should just keep a close eye on them.

Tomorrow when i change out the water, Ill pull the whole system out after its been drained to get a good look at the plants in the back. Plus ill take more pictures and upload them here with results.

If anyone has some insight on how to spot male plants let me know. Thanks everyone.

Peace

OK two weeks into full bloom nutes and preflowers are popping up everywhere. White hairs are springing out of every nook and cranny on these plants.

One problem is .... the 3 in the back are bagseed. I can't tell if they are male for female yet. The other unexpected thing to happen was one of the taller plants in the back toppled over but I found it in time before any more damage could be done. I didn't have anything else to prop her up so i used two broken rubber bands and tied them to the light. I know not the best thing but it seemed to be working.

Anyways, still just amazing results so far. To go from sad little 6 in. plants (my first grow) to 3 foot almost 4 foot tall giants.

Peace



The last pic is not accurate. that's actually 2 days not two weeks like the other four.

Ok sorry about the lack of posting. There was alot of stuff that got into the way of me posting and taking pictures of the plants.

I am now on the 7th week of bloom and these plants are doing excellent especially when compared to my first grow. I found that one plant in the back row was a male, undoubtly. I took him out as soon as I was certain it was male. I will be taking pictures if the plants as soon as I get a decent camera. The one on my phone sucks.

Of the 8 seeds that cracked, 3 were feminized, 5 were bagseed. Of those 5 bagseeds 1 was male, 2 are female, 1 just doesn't want to show sex. I think it might be a hermi or some kind of mutant. The last one didn't make it past seedling stage.

So 5 female plants out of 8 possibles. I think that is better than odds.

The plant buds are swelling up every day and I'm paying close attention to the amount of amber colored hairs. I was told a 70 30 mix of amber hairs to white hairs is when the plant is ripe for harvest. Anyone have insight on this?

Current pictures to follow soon.

Peace
