I might not be losing internet so yay. GOD DAMNIT the first sign of sex i see and on one of the youngins looks like it is a male because on the 2 top nodes it looks like there is 3 very very very small set of balls on one side of the stem and on the other but im not for sure if that is what they are but im kinda pretty sure but i dont have anything that will let me look up close on them to tell and on the other youngin it looks like there is 1 thing there im not sure if it is a female part or male part but it dont look no where as near bad as the other one that looks like it has balls and i would get a picture and ask you but my cam sux and the closer i get to the plant or zoom the more fucked up it gets so yea i hope i can tell what it is before its to late :(.

You should be able to do it with pretty much any phone, but to be safe let's say any smartphone, so it doesn't HAVE to be a Blackberry. That's always good news though, wish I had some highspeed right now lol.

As far as male or female, go ahead and take a look at my Blueberry Madness pictures in this journal because that and one of the other Black Dom's turned out male. Anyway those should be some good reference material for you.

Working on the update right now, just waiting on the damn pics to upload.... This might take forever.... But I am trying to get you guys some pics, even if I end up just posting a pic from today.

Today is update day, I will be trying to upload a couple pics today.

They're both frikkin' huge because of the extended Veg time because of the move.

I pinched the meristem to get the canopy a little more even, the bushier one kind of looks like a menorah lol.

About 40 fucking minutes later and a couple of :joint:'s....

I got 4 pics for you guys lol, two of the plants taken right before I uploaded today, one of the top of the bushier plant, and one of a really cool cloud and the mountains at the new place, enjoy.

:leaf:

By the way that RooR is 18 inches, but that was the best thing I could think of for size comparison lol, I can't find my damn measuring tape, so I don't have the exact height right now.

Man they are looking nice. When are you going to put them in flowering? Also i looked at the males pic's and mine doesn't have that many balls if they are balls but im sure they are. I need something that will give me a closure look.

Thanks Mental, they're both in flower and have been since the 15th.

Get a microscope from Radioshack for like 12 bucks or so.

Thanks Mind, and yeah I can see a view like that 180 degrees the other 180 are smaller mountains and plains but you can see for miles and miles and miles.

I've done that, it's really relaxing man, the sunset is even better because after the sunset you get to just chill under the stars. The stars look amazing out here dude, I'll see if I can get a shot one night.

I can't wait for these babies to kick in either, they're gonna get big lol.

They are going to get big.... lol
Yeah.... My friend just harvested one of his.... Yeah.... I'm hoping the pinch that was done a couple days ago will slow down growth height wise a little bit because it's focusing more energy on the lower branches to grow, rather than the main stalk.

I do know for a fact these will get 3 times the size.... This should be interesting none the less, especially under a 250 lol.

With a microscope would i have to break a ball or something off and look because i have no clue how to get the plant under one of those things to see unless there is a way to unscrew it. What pinch and where do you do it and why do you do it?

No with the Radioshack one it's a pocket microscope, which means it's totally hand held.

Pinching is super cropping, you pinch the Meristem (Main stem), every new node (Branch set).

Here's an explanation in a nut shell. Basically when you pinch you're forcing all lower branches/tops to come even with your main top, so you have a more even canopy and therefore a better yield.

Lookin good doobs. If the roor is 18 " then those are some tall plants. How long were they in veg? Good tip on the pinching. I'm gonna have to give that a shot.

Are you talking about pinching the new branches growing up off the main steam not the big fan leaves one but the small leaves, and if so tell me how to do this because only 2 of those have shot off and are about a inch tall but the others are still close to the main stem.

No no the main stem/meristem is what you pinch, you can pinch those too but I've found it much more effective just pinching the main stem inbetween the nodes. You pinch the main stem in the space inbetween the sets of leaves. You pinch REAL lightly, enough to weaken the main stem but not enough to burst/break it open.

Yes the RooR is 18 inches, lol it was the only thing I knew exact height on lol.

Thanks for the compliment Altered, that's always appreciated :bigjoint:. The plant's were in Veg for a long ass time, I can't remember specifics but I'm pretty sure it's around 2-3 months they were in Veg because of the move and finding a place situation. I normally will only go 1 month to a month and a half on Veg, especially being under a 250, but we shall see how these pan out, they should be fine.

Yeah pinching is great just be gentle with it and you'll be golden dude, it's real easy to over pinch and split the stem a bit, I did that some when I first started learning about pinching.

Ok i see what you are talking about but i don't know if i want to do it knowing my history of accident's and bad luck.

Well when you're up for it, you know how to do it now. I can understand not being very comfortable with new techniques, but yeah if you don't think you're ready yet then don't, although with that said I think you'd be okay.
