I just had to chop 3 out of my 4 plants... damn balls... What a waste, they were nice big green plants. Now I'll have a 600w hps over a single plant.

Well its too late, I already chopped. And I only have one tent/light/intake fan....etc. It just sucks because its 2 months down the drain and like 20 gallons of soil. Not to mention using 600w on a single girl.

u can still maximise yield with a longer veg and scrog thats what i would do
I vegged them for 6 weeks and none of them showed any signs of sex. It wasn't until they were in flower for 9 days that I was able to tell. Either way, the one that's left is gonna be on her own its too late to pop more seeds for this run. Man i hate balls.

How would you grow 4 plants under a 600 watt hood with a 5x5 footprint? You might hate balls but 1 plant under a 600 will do you right. Especially vegging it 6 weeks. I couldn't of grew another plant next to this one. Dude up top has 7 lol. Put a crowbar to that wallet, time for another light.

Yeah those are ugly. Don't fret man the one plant u grow will reach its full potential. 4 would have been frustrating.

That's why you buy fem seeds, or did you buy fems and they turned out not to be so femmed after all? I've grown a bunch of fem seeds and no males or herms yet. Well a couple strains did get a few bananas but it was never a problem. I just left them and there was like a small seed here and there. Nothing serious. They didn't appear until the last couple weeks anyway. I've actually never seen a nanner open up and drop pollen. What you have is full-on male plants though.

Nah they were regulars. I was hoping for at least 50/50.

No more regular seeds for me, unless I want to do some breeding someday. Fem seeds make things so much easier, especially if you're tight on space. Only thing is that you still have to find a good pheno.

Gas Light Veg, males show early, tis a wonderful thing
I don't use gaslight, but I do use something similar. I mentioned it to you before, repeating cycles of 5/3. I thought it might be better to use a straight 15/9 so I switched to that and it was noticeably worse so I went back. I use it for starting clones too. They're rooted and out in the open air in a week. Root like crazy too, looks like a head of hair, can't even see the stem through it, though that may be the strain.

6/2 or 7/1 might also be good, but I wanted to keep power usage down. Your gaslight thing is actually similar, just that you only have 2 light cycles in 24 hours whereas I have 3, and mine are all the same whereas yours vary. I have a hunch that it may be better with them being all the same like that. Probably easier for a plant to adjust to. The reason I don't use 2 cycles instead of 3 is that I just think it's better with shorter periods, due to light saturation related stuff.

I just yanked My purple Haze which was showing male! Was supposed to be a Fem seed from G13 Labs.
