Plant 1 Under The Canopy It look's like a jungle down there



Take some good hi qual pics of the nodes. Look for lil white hairs. Two pointy arcing banana looking things are bad.
It's too early to tell. The preflowers are probably there but way to small for the naked eye to see. I sat there for almost 30 minutes looking... just leaves and soon to be fan leaves

In any case it still looks fantastic, that's why I got myself feminized seeds man, you can't waist so much time and just take a chance on luck with this unless you have space and cash to have many plants. Man, I hope it works out for you, at least one of em should be good you know.

+rep for your previous tips, very useful, thanks again bro.

Chron...Nice and thick they are! Keep looking at every angle and every node. When you do see those lovely pair of white hairs, your gonna say....Shit! why didnt I see them earlier. Then your gonna keep going back looking cuz your just not believing it. Ooh the joys of raising girls :) On another note, my ppp fem and ak went 12/12 two days ago. They are LOVING the 400w HPS. They got their last veg nutes this morning and I will start them on flower nutes next feeding. :joint:
Your pics are looking good bro. Keep up the good work

Dr., if you knew these plants would become females would you have topped them? What do you think about topping all together? Seems to be a little drastic to cut unnaturally I would like to keep my plants as close to nature as possible but maybe it's worth the outcome?

Yeah it is worth the outcome. It forces your plant to produce multiple main colas which will increase the harvest yield. As apposed to one main cola.

At what stage would one do that, I won't be doing it on my current grow I don't want to risk anything but I will try it on my next ones.

So thing's are growing nicely... Here's a shot in the container. The other day they were only 5 inches and now their 6. :smile:

So here's a picture from the top of plant 1, i think she has a Potassium deficiency/lockout due to the tip's of leaves curling down. Im thinking it is from the sodium bicarbonate i use to adjust the pH of the water...

I might be wrong but I thought I read that emergency blankets absorb the light and keeps heat in (thats what makes em a blanket) I think during flowering when you go to higher watt flowering lights and bigger plants with less air circulation that can "may" become an issue. Dollar stores has mylar,5 bucks buy all you need. Taking care of little things like this may seem trivial but can pay off in the end.

Emergency blankets.
