Hey Guys and Girls,
So the plan for this year was to get my clones and do my thing like I have done the last two years. Well, my friend happened to drop me off some brand new seedlings just starting to sprout. Couldn't say no, so I decided I would try the seed thing this year. I am a medical grower, so under the law in my state I am allowed 18 immature plants per card. I ended up with 12 Mangos and 4 Trainwrecks. They are on their 6th week. The mangos are from 12"-15", very bushy and thick stocks. The TWs are about a 3rd smaller. They were under my areogarden lights, supplemented with a 65w CFL and a 50w Generic grow light I had lying around. They seemed to like the light combo as they have always been a brilliant green. Also using FoxFarm nutes. At the 5th week, all threats of frost were gone, so I moved them outside permanently in pots.
Now for the questions. It's time to sex these bad girls. My growing previously has been exclusively with female clones, so sexing is a bit new to me. I know the difference quite well, identifying is not the problem. I'm not sure exactly how to go about the 12-12 light cycle. Have a few different options. I have a large grow cab I can place them in for 12-12. Do I need to keep them in the cab with 12-12 light cycle until the forced flowering is complete? Or can I leave them outside for 12 hours during the day, then place them in the cab darkness for 12 hours? I would like to do the later, as it has been awesome growing weather lately and I don't really have the right lighting. Not really too fond of trying the bag on the branch way.
I really do like how fast these seed plants grow, their going to be big yielders.
