I have about 28 bag seeds I am germinating 6 of them so far to see if I get lucky with some females. I'll be using general hydroponics trio as well as black gold seedling potting soil. I plan on using 9 26w 6400k daylight bulbs and 6 40w 2700k soft white bulbs for flowering. if all goes good i will keep 4 females under these lights during winter. and take clones early spring to re-veg and re-flower during summer. since its my first grow i don't expect all this to actually happen without your help.thanks and +rep to any helpful people. here are the seeds so far after 2 days in a wet paper towel in a jar.the 3 bottom seeds have sprouted very left is about half inch middle is a fourth and the right one barely broke shell how long should i let them grow before moving to soil?:?: screenshots remove exif data right?Untitled.jpgCapture.jpg

if your looking to get 4 females i would grow more than 6 plants, its better to be safe then sorry,you never really know the genetics of bagseeds,they might hermie or just be weak and die from simple newb mistakes ,hope this helps

We'll I am no professional, but I didn't know one could clone a budded plant with the hopes of growing it into a what? A mother? A bigger bud producer? I think you might be able to get it to grow roots and you can even clip from it. but i dont know about turning it back to veg when there are matured buds on it.

well doesnt turning on the light during flowering while its supposed to be dark mess up the light cycle?

well the yellowing is going away with the new strength of nutes heres some pics of my plants but i have a problem im not sure if its my over paranoia of being cursed with males, first time growing fears or if its just new growth but sure as hell looks like the pollen sacks ive seen on other pics:(

they will show sex around 4-6 weeks during there veg ... or when you flip to 12/12 flower cycle.

yeah i see the hairs on my other two plants there about 2 month but ive only had them in the drip system for about 4 weeks started with quarter strength now im on 3 quarter strength one is like 5 inches with about 6 nodes the other is 6 inches with 7 nodes i think thats the right amount of nodes there in dark so i dont want to check. im thinking about taking clones soon but not sure of it. there really short and bushy they dont seem to be getting taller just stretching out more.
