Quick update It's been almost 2 weeks in 12/12 and I see that one of my bagseeders is a definate female --> 100_1087.jpg 100_1088.jpg and I found several males --> 100_1089.jpg A few I'm pretty sure are males also but I'm going to let them go a few more days to be positive.

I think that i will join this one as well. Looks good and i am interested in the Pineapple express my self. I say if you get the chance run LST on one of those to to see the difference in yields. Plus you'll learn that these plants can grow in any way if taken care of correctly

I'm not quite sure how to do the LST method. I've "topped" my plants before but I've never tried LST. If someone could give me a DETAILED explanation on how to do it I would love to try it!

Haha I'm still waiting on your PM Duplex.......anyway, quick update -->100_1097.jpg100_1096.jpg100_1095.jpg The girls are doing nice I just switched them back to 20h on 4h off after destroying all the males, so it's back to veg for a few more weeks! I had 2 sprouts from 1 seed kinda like a siamese twin that showed female so that's pretty cool. I just got a couple shoplights with some good tubes in them and a 100 watt cfl so I can start a cloning/veg station in the closet. I'm getting more supplies in a few days so I can get it all set up and I'll germinate the rest of my seeds and start "phase 2" so I can double my turn out rate.

LST is pretty simple... you tie them down and train them open. Many ways to LST all preference... but essentially your trying to increase the surface area of the plant.

Ok so here'e the deal - when I first started this grow I thought it would be a good idea to grow some bagseed so I could practice some cutting/grafting techniques or whatever else I wanted to try, but now I regret that decision. I switched the plants to 12/12 for 2 weeks to get rid of all the males but now I have them on 20/4 and the plants are stunted and growing SLOW. I don't feel like waiting another month for them to recover so I'm switching them back to 12/12 to get this crop out of the way. I decided that I want to go hydro anyway so I'm heading to the hardware store to pick up some shit to make a decent hydro setup, pumps bins etc. I still have 3 Pineapple Express seeds and 3 sweet purples. I also have a bunch of freebies I got like lemon skunk, vanilla kush, sharksbreath, pineapple chunk, and a few others. My plan is to start in hydro with all feminized seeds and do it right this time. I have another room that isn't being used so I'll use that to veg in while the stunted bitches finish off in the flowering room. I'll post pics soon. Any advice would be more than helpful at this point.

So here's what I came up with.....1.jpg4.jpg2.jpg3.jpg5.jpg6.jpg It's a Recirculating Deep Water Culture system. I still need to get a Ph/ppm meter and I think I'm going to get another air pump and some more stones. Last pic is of the stunted girls who strangely enough seem to be picking up growth speed now that I'm done talking shit about them haha.
