Mega Cropping. New Strains.

Here are a few pics of the plants from today. Very impressed with there growth.
I love the G.O. go box.

Topped a few of them a couple of days ago. Loving the new rapid growth.

good ideal topping the larger plants
I was wondering how you where going to keep the canopy level

If nothing else you'll have a great hedge! Its gonna get mega crowded in there. A couple of males may be a good thing lol. This is gonna be an interesting project! Keep us posted!

Waterdawg, you bring up an interesting point abet I don't think you intended.

Hopefully they are all females, but if they're not you will most likely not be able to "pull" them due to root ball entanglement.
In that case to get rid of males you most likely will have to chop them @ surface level leaving the roots to rot and that is a super recipe for gnats and other nasty critters that will gather for the feast.
Not to mention the sour/rotten smell.

Well yes your right that was unintended. Never thought about that. Would a enzyme be useful by helping to break down the plant material. I cut down a plant in my tray last run and that was a concern but seemed to be ok.

I too am curious about that, but if a few males pop up, couldnt i just prune them so they stop producing pollen sacks?

Most likely they won't stop - and they can kick out those little sucker really quickly.

Hmm. Was hoping t stress the plant s much it would stop producing pollen and br just alive enough t get thru till the female were ready. Any natural alternatives? Live worms? Or other ground dwellers that would helo eat dead roots if. Just chopped the males down?
(Hoping for all females) ive herd that you are more likely ti get females doing 12/12 from seed. Any truth to this?

Iv seen this type of growing outdoor

They've really taken of

Well I do know that I used clear res to help break down roots but really not sure if it worked but had no issues. Also that was water not soil. Also only ever done femmed seeds so never had males .... Yet lol. Dont think you'll be able to stop them without killing them. If a female finishes early in my setup I crop her right down and leave a few bottom branches to keep it alive until the rest finish but not much help to you. Yes perhaps red wigglers, if you fish bonus bait!!!

Yea that seems like a good idea. Im pretty fond of live help in my soil and in the plants (lady bugs & worms) natural defence is always good.
Lets hope for mostly females tho. I should now sex by tomorrow morning.

i honestly was thinking the same thing about how many where in the pot until i noticed you had 3 pots in a 4x8ft tent... following, p.s. i always go one per pot but use smaller pots, i have tryed it with 2 small ones in a 5 gal and i usually end up with the exact same amount of dried as the one plant per one pot plants.. just saying.. but following :+)

Hey it may be alittle early to tell but yall think this one is male?

It won't hurt a thing to cut out the males from my experience

could always cut the males right back, like you do when you reveg a plant
so your just leaving a short stem,couple of fan leaves
this should keep the plant alive but it won't have the energy to grow much in flower (also this will slow the root growth)
and if the females grow to a good size you can lightly lollipop the lower growth so you should be-able to see all the male plants, them you should be able to see any staminate

Here are a few shots of the plants before bed. Hopefully sexing tomorrow.
I pulled some of the weaker slower growing seedlings, should help alittle with space.
Lets hope for females.

Very interested in how this goes. Some of the pitfalls I've experienced with seed grows in the same tray are varying height of plants, varying needs re nutes, and finish times. I can typically over come all except nute issues but soil may be different. It would be cool to try a clone grow like yours.

First male spotted and removed, i basically moved most of the soil surrounding it, soaked it, and using an exacto knife, cut as many of its roots as far in as i could. Prolly adding worms to my soil soon.
