New Beginning

I'm fukkin pissed,,yes I did just make a good harvest of almost 6 dried ounces of very decent bud,,but it took three times,,first two grows went hermie,,so I had a fourth grow,,The Garden of Even,,just went male,,now how stupid was that,,grow one plant,,duhhhhhhhhhhh,,,,so I am starting a new journal where I will try to grow 9 from seed and hope for whatever females I get,,cuz 45 days was a waste on one plant and you can rest assured,,I will never grow just one again,,,,,(rant finished),,,,,,


Here we grow again,,

I have the proper lighting,,wether it is hps or cfl,,I will veg under cfl this time for only a few weeks,,and then go with either my 430 watt cool tube,,or my 600 in a air cooled hood,,,,

Soil I have learned in my area what is available is Pro-Mix,,I have tried a couple different Miracle Grow soils,,and won't nay or yay them,,but I am happy with the Pro-Mix,,so that's what I'm using

Air and Venting I have 3 full grows under my belt and 45 days into a 4th grow,,,I have the temps and humidity down for my grow areas,,good to go

Nutrients I have been using properly for my successful 3rd Grow,,and am slowly building a line of Advanced Nutrients I have been purchasing along the way

Anything I don't know I will find out here at my fellow members expense,,and all are free to comment or advise and it will be appreciated

So before I pick 9 of these beautiful seeds I have a new question,,is there a way to determine which of these seeds are the best to pick,,looking at them through a magnifying glass shows some differences,,but is there any signs you should look for in a good seed,,I am not sure where I got these,,but they are dark as hell,,and very solid,,and they made a pretty word on the paper

Thxs in advance,,and I hope to make this a worthy thread you will come back to

Keep on Growin

hey HoLE,

that's a very classy arrangement of the seeds
perhaps you should look into going hydro....

anywho, say hi to HF for me.

that sucks about your other plant hole, After you just got finished constructing that nice grow box too! are you only choosing one plant to grow? you could double your odds of getting a female with two! good luck big dawg

sounds like you learned your lesson from growing just one.

well live and learn. oh well.

Somewhere I on this site I saw a picture (drawing style) of "how to tell if seeds are female" I think it had been originally attributed to FDD2BLK, but I'm not sure.
I remember something about it being round enough to roll easy and the end being perfectly circular and volcanic. (like looking into a perfect round volcano opening?-- maybe I've made that up-- I don't know)
But it's the only time I've ever heard a whisper that you can get a sense from seed. Good luck again HoLE.
Looking forward to watchin this next one.

hmmm, im' sure it wasn't fdd since he takes pride in disproving rumors. That having been said, i don't think it's possible to really tell until flowering.

See the problem is no one is exactly sure when the sex is determined. it could be predetermined (decided when the seed is made) or it could be environmental which means it has no sex until a certain stage of growth(when/if that is no one truly knows).

Basically it's the luck of the draw.

Nice grow man. Will be looking in here regularly.

yeah fdd is the one who originally posted the picture on how to pick female seeds. but natmoon tried to use this method and got mostly males.

yeah i saw the same post. if the seed is nice and round NOt oblong, its most likely female. also find one that has a perfect hole, nice and even, not some broken off piece. any ways dont quote me thats just what i read,,,,, good luck on your grow i hope you get 10 female!!! ha

good luck hole, im tuning in for your episodes of fun and disaster.

i thought he said he saw it in a high times magazine first...
i've seen that picture floating around other places too... so i don't think FDD originated the thought...
