Notes:
Sorry my updates have not been as regular or precise as they had been
The new schedule does not allow for my visiting the girls in the morning as I had been
And other things seem to always come up when I return from work
(this is why I gave myself until 9pm before lights go off)
That and wanting the lights on in the daytime to minimize any attempts at FLIR by you know who.
All attempts at determining sex are useless still at this point
I take back any assumptions I have had so far other than 2 have definite hairs No7 and No6
(the youngsters? Go figure)
anyway I was in the OP last night with my reading glasses and a large magnifying glass
and spent a good time just looking. These things are amazing plants.
Anyway no images today until after work.
Not much to show anyway being sex cannot yet be determined on most
And overall images kinda look the same day to day.
Never the less, I will attempt to get images of the two that have hairs and an overall shot tonight.
The plant I thought was male still could very well be, I just am uncertain and have
Plenty of time before there is any real danger of pollination.
Well that’s about it for today, I need to get myself a pocket scope lol
And see you all later today with some images.

Images of the two girls tonight, the rest don’t seem to want me to know what they are lol

Personally, I can't wait for it to be a giant frosty bud myself.....:weed:
Heh but thats me...
Actually, I hate it when "new growers" use someone else's grow for an avatar.
Like a bud shot they stole on-line at a breeder site.
It could be for inspiration I guess, and thats not bad.
Its straight ahead self produced for me, even if its only a sprout.
My first grow big dripping bud will probably end up as my permanent one. :weed:

Notes:
Found out last night I have at least 4 girls so far
They are No 7 (the baby) No 4 (who lost its head) No 2 (nute burned girl) and No 5
The two largest plants (not actually tallest but bushiest) have not shown as of last night
Took my readings, took some photos, added some PH down to bring PH to 5.3
Topped off reservoir with regular formula (above) by adding 2 qts.
Enjoy the images of my GIRLS below and I will start to name them later today.
Even though the last 3 have not shown and usually boys show first I may be just missing it
I know I get lucky some time, but that would be exceptional ...
I suspect that at least the two largest plants (overall image top center and left) will be boys.
meanwhile break out the champagne! This was not all for nothing it seems.
now to sit back, check nutes, and watch...:blsmoke:

Temperature –
71.9F (82.7/58.2)
Humidity - 64% (73%/40%)
Room/Light vent running-
YES (timed to go on ½ hr after lights - off 1/2 hr before lights off)

10.0ML FLORABLEND ™Vegan Compost Tea
10.0ML PyroSol™ Silicate Clay

Foliar Spray:
no longer using foliar spray

Notes:
Topped off with nutrient mix above (only subtract the FloraNova Grow™ part)
Needed 2 quarts
Added PH down to nutrients I used to bring down PH.
Did not have time for photos but the actual buds on 2 plants were starting to form

There will be photos today when I change nutrients to
20.0ML Flora Nova BLOOM™
4.0ML Floralicious Plus™
20.0ML FLORABLEND ™Vegan Compost Tea
1 Teaspoons PyroSol™ Silicate Clay
and clean out air stones (started to notice less bubbles)

Removed Mylar from around table to allow for better air circulation.
Lights are high enough to reflect from wall Mylar now, and some plants had grown up against it.
Found a jewelers supply store where I can buy a nice pocket telescope for later to look at trics.
During the week I am resigned now to waiting until after work to visit the grow room
But on the weekends, its hard waiting until lights come on in the morning.

I am happy with the temperature swings in the grow room at night (lights off)
I am concerned that RH might be a bit high for last part of flowering
Looking into a dehumidifier but have several weeks before it may become necessary,
and there is always the possibility I can get it lower without one.

That’s about it for yesterday, have to do some birthday present shopping
and gardening this morning before changing reservoir,
but photos and a report will follow later tonight.
Have a good day riu.
