sure thing chunky, but its not going to be pretty lol. its really fucked up for reasons that i cannot explain. its practically dead already and will probably be chopped this weekend. its by far the smallest and just smells like shit. kinda disappointing for how much i spent on them, but i guess this one just went wrong, still got 8 more seeds. anyways as for the rest heres an update - NL and Cali - day 50 flower. Skywalker and Haze - day 43 flower. Purple Wreck - day 39 flower. i have started feeding with the last nute cha ching now and will continue for the next two weeks until flush. i will probably start flushing the NL and Cali this week so i can harvest some this weekend. anyways on with the pics, 1 is all, 2 is Cali, 3 is Skywalker, 4-6 Purple Wreck, 7 is Haze and 8 is the piece of shit NL just for chunky because he asked so nicely. otherwise i would be ashamed to show it lol ok enjoy :weed:

Very nice DK. How much % wise of the FF nute chart are you up too? The solubles are recommended at 1/4-1/2 tsp. did you start with a full 1/4 tsp? They are pricey, do you think they are worth the money? I just bought beastie bloomz as my girls already had preflowers and will be 9 days or so into flower before the next nutes. How tall are yours finishing out at and how tall were they when you put them to flower? I think I waited too long with my limited space...I have 3 monsters. Thanks dude!
:peace:

damn thats a lot of questions haha ok lets see. im using using almost full strength on all the nutes now. the watering can i use is 3/4 gal and ive been using 2/3 of what the chart recommends. i think thats around 90% or so. yeah i started the solubles at 1/4 tsp and havent really gone any higher than that. im pretty sure they are worth the money, i got the pack of all 3 i believe it was $50 or so. i dont think you will ever run out of this stuff either haha at least not for a few years. ive used almost half the liquid nutes already in two grows, but the solubles are practically full. i dont exactly remember how tall all the plants were when i started to flower since i was just waiting for preflowers to show. i know i let them all veg 7 weeks, i think they were around 16-18 inches when i put them into flower. but then the NL and Cali exploded and took off to like 5 feet, no idea why because the tallest any of the others got was 3 feet. the Haze is a midget, barely 2 feet, and the rest are closer to 3. hope i answered everything lol ok but i have a few more things to add here...

i went in to check on the girls last night and on one of the purple wrecks all the fans leaves had completely dried up!! i dont understand how this could have happened? i water the plants almost every day. a few days ago all the leaves were droopy and hanging straight down, i thought i had just forgotten to water so i did. the next morning they were all fine and pointing straight up again. and then yesterday she died! what the fuck?! anyways kinda lame, should i just chop her this weeked or will she still be able to flower even though there are like 4 fans leaves left? oh also, i snipped two of the bottom branches of the p wreck to smoke and found two little seeds in there! i guess thats not a good thing haha but i used all of mine up so i guess i can plant these ones now right? wont they be female seeds also?

I think that if the plant's a hermie, then you're seeds are most likely feminised. But if the plant has been polinated by a male, then they're just "normal" seeds.
I heard somewhere, that seeds need some time from the moment they're taken off the plant before they're able to germinate. I'm not sure though!

Thanks for answering all my ??'s DK. They will still flower without the fan leaves (I proved that in my last grow!) Were the seeds full size? I know if you are going to store them, of course you dry them out. Don't know if they work fresh. Evolutionarily, it would be better if the seeds did not germ right after they are done because in most latitudes it would be certain death from winter. For this reason they may not germinate right away (like you really need to!).

haha i know, not planning on growing them right now. they were fully developed seeds though, nice and brown not pale and green still. i found a few on the skywalker also and pulled them off but they werent good at all haha. now im debating whether to leave the others to develop more seeds, or if i should just pull them off if its going to affect flowering too much? i was just reading up on it and apparantly once seeds start to develop the plant will start to focus more on producing seeds and not as much THC content. but its not like there are seed pods all over, just a few here and there mostly on the lower branches. plus i only have two skywalker seeds left and those fuckers are expensive!

oh and yeah youre right mark, i dont believe theres anyway a male could have pollinated the females i have in there now since i removed all of the males as soon as i spotted preflowers. i had to pull off a few pollen sacks from one of my purple wrecks a few weeks ago so maybe some pollen got out when i wasnt looking? haha but i guess i did have a hermie in there i forgot. anyways if thats the case then i might have some purple skywalker trainwreck seeds on my hands! :shock:

If there are not too many (seeds) I would leave them. It is not like the plant is going to neglect the flowers, because as far as the plant knows there is still a chance for pollination. And THC being a response to UV light (sun screen) I doubt you would notice if a few random buds were raped by your purple wreck shemale! Those seeds could be the next dank thing! You may have to move to Holland!

haha i may have to because there were way more than i thought. i found at least 50 on one of the skywalker. and another 50 or so on the NL. i should really pay more attention to my plants haha. theyre all bunched so close together i never really look down into the depths of the lower branches. so yeah, i pulled off all the seed clusters i could find, hopefully the plants will respond in time and put on a bit more bud in the next few weeks! now im curious as to what kind of crazy ass seeds ive created. only one way to find out i suppose :weed:
