Culled 3 males down to 5 . One is throwing pistils all over (far back left also largest plant my sunshine daydream 1) the bottom right second largest is the "female" with the thick green bladed pistol. The rest are taking their sweet as time. Very tiny preflowers(too small to confirm) View attachment 3963312 View attachment 3963315 but as I understand the girls take the longest to show so I suppose that's good news of sorts. I'll update more often once the transition is done and I have some bud forming worth showing.
You will normally find your pistils closer to the stem first, looking good so far, fingers crossed you get some nice bud at the end

It's only been twelve days from flip I'm not stressing that only 4 have been confirmed. In fact the most vigorous plant, of the strain I want the most, showed sex first and was a girl. So there's that. T

Nice... could you go into a tad more detail about you're buckets bro? Thnx. Just trying to get a mental picture of the compartment at the bottoms? They kinda look like mop buckets.. lol (:
They are indeed dollar store mop buckets. I drilled a hole 2 inches up from the bottom in the side of the bucket. Filled the bottom with perlite till about 1/2 an inch higher than the hole then fill it with 40/60 perlite coco. I pulled a male and have been letting one dry after chop I'll go see what it looks like for you after popping it out gimme like ten minutes.

20170620_003749.jpg 20170620_003841.jpg K. So in the first picture is the side of the bucket. Fill with perlite up between where my fingers are be sure to go over the hole a decent bit it compacts down with your Coco on top. You don't have to use perlite you could use hydroton then the Coco on top. You could fill the whole bucket with a 4:1 perlite vermiculite mix (it's a little light for me and you have to water more often that's why I use coco). It's not really set in stone. Second pic you can see the root ball deeply into the reservoir this bucket has been drying out a few days and everything held together including the reservoir.
