    Still waiting on sexing LMJ. I don't see hairs or balls, but I do see two thin 'leaves' off the internodes (pic 6 - not good quality). Shouldn't I be able to sex already? I also see some problems on LMJ (pic 5). Three leaves have brown spots, and two are discoloring to light green. Any ideas...

    I used a soil test kit from CIL last night and didn't get very readable results (maybe because they were off scale), but looks like all my nutes (NPK) are deficient. The pH was from 6.5 to 7.0. I have used 3 nute doses so far in the grow, ranging from 33% to 75% strength. The plants look OK, and...

    I transplanted the big seedling tonight into a 6" pot. I pruned off a couple of damaged leaves from both plants. I believe that BMJ is a female (I see a couple little white hairs at the top internode). Can someone please confirm (pic 4)? Apologize for the quality, but it's surprisingly hard to...

    Thanks. The babies are in kiddie cups, so I'd say about 8 oz. I'll transplant tomorrow. I don't have enough space in my box for 2 more 10" planters, so I may need to do with 6" for now. If BMJ or LMJ turns out to be male, I'll have another planter to use. The seedlings were insurance...

    I drilled some holes in the rims of the pots for tie down points for LST (using old computer wire). I tied down both ladies today. BMJ is doing great. LMJ (pic 2) is burning a bit at the tips, and some leaves have brown spots. One of my seedlings is taking off. Trying to figure out when...

    My plant isn't growing tall (that's good, I guess), so when I LST many of the leaves touch the soil. Is this a problem, or should I wait for more vertical growth first? I was worried that the stem would be hard to bend if I waited too long. Notice my drunken move in picture 2 of anchoring the...

    Thanks bro! It's been a blast so far.

    I'm using organic nutes. I did quite a bit of research and settled on Pura Vida Grow and Bloom (new product) by Technoflora. It was another thing trying to find a retail outlet. The advantage of Pura Vida is that it doesn't stink. I heard other organics can really smell it up. I'm using...

    I bit the bullet and transplanted in larger pots: 10" for BMJ (brown), 8.5" for LMJ (green). I was nervous, but I think it went well. I thoroughly watered with about 1.5L each with 75% strength nutes. I also continued my LST with another hook for each stem.

    Growth looks good. I'm looking to transplant into 10" pots very soon, as I don't have enough room to LST in my 6" pots.

    Good advice. I'm not really sure where my nute level is now, so I'm doing a little experimenting. I started with about a 1/3 dose, and then went to 1/2 the next watering. Now I'll water twice, and feed full strength in about a week.

    Looks like the ladies are loving the nutes! LST seems to be working so far, as the new growth is up towards the lights. Got 2 more seedlings today, too! Hopefully BMJ (pic 1) is a female that I can clone, but if not, I'll try to grow a couple more plants. LMJ looks healthy, but is just...

    Good plan. I may use this technique after I transplant (the ladies are in 6" pots right now).

    I'm feeding nutes in two consecutive waterings. I started 3 days ago with about a third strength Pura Vida. The ladies looked fine (maybe slightly nute deficient with the soilless). Today, I bumped up to 50% aggressive (grow+bloom combo). The recommended on the bottle is feeding every third...

    Due to my limited grow box space, I will try LST. I cut up a clothes hanger to make hooks. I've anchored the hook to the soil and hooked between the 2nd and 3rd internode on each plant. The stems were already bending, so I figured it would be a good time to start.

    Just planted two more germinated blue mountain jamaican seeds. Pics to come.

    Well, the ladies look really good after the thorough watering and the low nute dose. Looks like I'll need to water every 2 or 3 days (instead of twice a day with my spray bottle method). My concern with overwatering before was probably underwatering. Nube mistake. Pic 2 was my...

    I started low dose nutes today, about 1/3 strength. I also changed my watering amounts. I had been watering in smaller amounts twice per day, but I read that this may cause the roots to grow up because of the lack of water deep. So today, I used about 350 mL of water (with nutes) on each...

    I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my smaller plant (LMJ). Her leaves seem shrivelled compared to BMJ, and the leaf development is really slow. pH seems good, I water twice per day with a mist spray bottle (the soil really dries out, at least near the surface). Is it a nute...

    I started germinating 2 more seeds, because I've really only got one healthy plant, and what if she's not a she :cry:. All the growing conditions were identical, so my 1 of 5 success rate probably means bad genetics.
