My biggest bushiest plant was a male lol. Sucked killing him. I had a high male to female ratio on the bagseeds. I had 22 or 21 plants and now I have 10 im pretty sure 2 more are males lol. I still end up with 8 guaranteed females. I also culled about 4 males from my full season plants hopefully I get a high female count. My SB seedling loves the heat. It is one of my healthiest seedlings next to a Seawarp that likes it. The hawaiin skunk hazes are doing ok. Thin leaf structure very sativa dom. Hopefully they produce well for me. Rain is a problem in compost. It needs to be the consistency of a wrung out sponge. Not too wet but not too dry

Mandala's claims that they are strong but I've never grown any of their stock before. They seem trustworthy though. I'm finding that my SB isn't very nute sensitive.. All of my plants are on the same feeding schedule. I'm feeding twice per week at full strength plus a foliar feeding, sometimes two, between the feedings. Then again we've had a lot of rain.
Damn. . I hope mine turn out that nice. One pheno i've noticed looks indica dominant. I think that's the one that I'll like. Normally, sativa doms make my anxiety flare up like crazy.

My SB looks indica dom with fatter leaves. They say it is about 75 percent sativa but has indica growth patterns. Sweet

I see you use that Alaska fish fertilizer. That is one of my favorite emulsion supplements to feed. It's almost impossible to overfeed them with it if you keep it to once a week and I usually use just a tad more than what is suggested on the bottle..

Sometimes I use 4 tbsps per gallon lol. The plants like it. I only use it in my teas now though. I bought the Liquinox brand fish emulsion and it aint the same as Alaska. The liquinox is all watery and seems more synthetic.

I can't tell from the top picture (and don't remember if you mentioned in the past)- are you growing your plants under some sort of canopy? They are looking great by the way

@IvyPirate thank you. And yes they are under a 10x10 pop-up canopy that I use as greenhouses.

The plants are slowing down on stretching and packing on the buds now. Cant wait. To chop some fat tops and get to smokin em.

4 footers with tight internodes, not bad for 3 gallon grow bags haha. I just hope these buds really swell and ripen fast.

Your girls are looking great bro, I love seeing how healthy they are. Which is the B.B? I've been meaning to ask, how do you do light dep while preventing mold issues?

The bb's are the small seedlings in the first pic, you can see one leaning for the sun in the top left corner. They dont give a damn if it is 105 haha.

@Extacie also, I prevent mold by only covering the plants until it is complete dark outside. Then the cover comes off. So they are only covered for about 4 hours. I have an oscillating fan running on high in there while the cover is on too.

Haha that is awesome they are reaching for the light that young in that kind of heat. Looks like they could be some keepers. I'm curious to see how they do.

Thanks Fresno. I love the idea of the fan while the cover is on.
