Damn i think some of these plants are starting to look mannish. :cuss:

It's prolly still too early to tell, so i'm gonna just see what happens. I'll post a pic soon if i can get the camera to focus, but i think i'm seeing preflowers.

dude if you only get like 1 female you sould clone the hell out of her and get more then one female. but hopefully youll get a few fe's. you want atleast 3 plants goin. i have 3 goin in my grow but you can only see the 2 bigger ones,
goodluck man

If i determine that i have a female on one of my plants, should i make enough clones to fill the AG and chop everything down including the female that i'm taking cuttings off of?

yea those def. are males. i cant really see the middle on but it kinda looks like its got balls hangin. and on the clone thing, what do you plan on doing for a growth period, because if you want to go with little plants then you prob could get away with fillin the ag up, youve seen my grow and with the size of my plants 2 is really all it can handle, i have a third plants but the 2 big ones powned the third. and something you could do is if you use clones off the female then when your doin cloning her put her in the soil pot you have and grow her up to. she'll take some time to recover so you could grow that with the others and flower all at the same time. its just an idea, get back at me man

yea man i mean once you know for sure its a female go right back to 24 hours light, theylle love it.. see i was lucky and got clones of a sick strain, but i would of done what your gonna end up doin. what i did when i got my clones was cut the foam just in the middle so i could stick the end of the stem through. and it seemed to work great. make sure you dont use and nutes though.

i guess you can buy root hormone at home depot but i didnt use any, but out of 4 clones i ended up with 2 great plants one stunted plant and one never rooted.

Cool man, I guess that's what i'll do. I got plenty of seeds left but that shit takes too long and i don't want anymore males. I guess i'll be making a trip to the hydro store.

nope i would of if i had the cash at the time. but if you can get it ide use it. but you dont have too thats for sure. my buddy who gave me the clones uses clonex all the time and every clone he cuts always roots. and ive seen a type of root hormone that they sell at home depot or lowes.

Hey guys, i started germing my seeds on the eighth. I germed them in a plastic cup on a heating mat for germinating. I used bottled water with the ph adjusted to 5.5 and i added a drop of SUPERthrive with a drop of rooting hormone. I let them germ a few days until they started to crack and i could see the root starting to show. I transplanted them into my AG on the eleventh. I adjusted the water to 5.8 and mixed some SUPERthrive and some Sub Culture by General Hydroponics in a gallon water jug and that's what i have in my reservoir right now. I am running the lights on 24hr. There is humidity in the domes but none of them have popped up yet. How long did it take for your seedlings to sprout? Am i just being impatient??? https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=124

Mine took 2 days to sprout in the AG (after two days of germinating), just be patient. I wouldn't use any nutes or hormones for seedlings though...water should be enough for the first two weeks.

interesting... well it may work, just give it time. I know that you're gonna want to go easy on nutrients for the first two weeks. That's why i said no nutes, b/c if you have nutes in your resevoir now you're gonna get nute burn most likely. Really depends on your plants though and their genetics as to how much they can take. I know i had a few that got burnt at the start and it stunted their growth.
