just out of curiosity the last pic of room and plant`s. i noticed you have your sock in the room( i use the same sock) my opinion is that the sock should be vented outside for the heat. or are you drawing though it and intake is the 6 inch on the left

Im drawing thrw it and intake is 6'' inline. BUT I really could use the rassurance with the sexing pics up top please. I have confidence in my ability to a degree but some feed back would help a ton...TY

Well the good news is you have 2 females. The bad news is you have 2 females. All those other pics look definitively male to me. I think I said before if I ever have even the slightest doubt it always turns out male. It kind of grinds my gears that everything I've read and researched says the chance of female is 50% but most of the grows I see are not like that, including mine and yours. I went 2 for 9. I forget how many plants you have total but 2 females is definitely less than 50%. Hopefully karma will pay us back next grow. You should feel good that at least you didn't share my hermie problem. Now that was really a downer.

agreed 2 female.

agreed then 2 ladies, now i still run a risk of hermi right. geeez if thats so then i really dont have a lot of room to work with here lol. out of 7 I was hoping for atleast 3 and that 50% thing isnt the case. i wonder if i should eat my words on correcting a post a few weeks ago stating that nirvana had shitty genetics. But logically that has nothing to do with it I just didnt get as fortunate as i wanted to plan and simple. Hey atleast I have 2 pretty daughters and the kush i will be able to throw into flower in a couple of weeks. Maybe out of the four ill score 3 LOL. well I know i am rambling, but even with 2 ladies this grow is not all for nothing. NOW I KNOW WHY PEEPS USE CLONES I guess my idea to keep a bub as a mother is out the door i only have to to harvest. 1st big blow to the blinky campaign lol thanks for hanging with me guys now lets get 3 Ozs from each plant hahahah

You could only knock the genetics if they come out hermie but I don't think you should worry. Your plants with balls have pretty big balls. I don't think you would miss any of those on your females. Remember hermies have some nodes female, some nodes male. I've seen a lot of people think the female and male preflowers will be combined on the same node. That's not the case. Just check over your females on every node. If you don't see any balls your in the clear. Two female plants is nothing to feel down about. Believe me, you'll be amped when they start getting those big beautiful buds.

well said bro, gonna call it a night here soon and prey that no balls are N e where near those 2 ladies tomorrow Man I'm kind of swettin it lol I mean not to be negative but one hermi and this grow will turn into a huge mishap

they are looking really good today, I am probably goona give them one more day and give them a watering. I bought mollasis today gonna give them tbs per gallon once per week. Do you guys suggest feeding them at 1/4 strength when i do water or just go straight water?

day 6 flowering

lookin good, good luck to ya dude.

ty, and also for your most recent help

Hey Dude,

Sorry about all the balls arriving at your party. Hang in there, Man, you are growing and learning. Next batch will be better!

I was reading in Jorge Cervantes book about ways to increase your chances of getting female plants from seed. I also read a thread on here about that topic. It is all about decreasing stress for the seedlings and making sure your temps., pH and nutes are all dialed in perfectly. As you get more experience, I'll bet your averages will improve as well.

Anyway, your girls are beautiful!

Good Luck!

most of what i have learned and read is that male female is genetics, or if you germinate in paper towel and let tap root get to long it will turn male or hermie. i think the other condition would only cause a hermie. but i geusse everybody has a different opinion

Jorge is the man, i got his bible and its the shit

man looking good, my first 2 i grew turned but since then it has been all ladies....and more bud sites will come to farther into flowering gw how many total ladies did you end up getting just the 2? and i would say it was either bad luck or maybe the change in lighting....

yeah either way, we are working with 2 nice looking ladies with multiple bud sites b/c of the one thing i did right...LST so if i play my cards right should get nice buds. I am gonna post pics of them in a bit waiting for batt to charge, also i was at my grow shop today and bought the best tds device they carried, i think it is well worth it. A grower i made friends with in the shop swears by it and said he has been a grower for many years. couldnt believe he was that trusting of me i must come across pretty cool,lol. anyways it was a little investment 140 bucks but it is balls on accurate. my old pen come to find out was extremly off, so if you have the 40 dollar sunleave tds meter be very careful. i am gonna get these plants ppm back on cue k, we also planted 100% germinated BC mango seeds. so I plan on leaving these ones alone for a few weeks this time...NO NUTES.

This TDS stick is the shit I ended up light proofing my windows today, b/c lets face it even though the t5 looks like a tv from outside no one leaves a tv on 24/7 lol. Now you cant see anything through my windows and it keeps the heat in the room down. that pic of the kush's you will notice the dome, thats covering the 5 new mango that where added.
