ya i hear ya with the gnat prob it was in a small plastic pot real small
so i went and threw it away and went threw the soil and made sure nothig else was in it
aand now i have another seed in there waiting to pop out.
and so far no other pest prob yet
its been from what i remember a couple days sence i watered my plant.
but the leaves are still sticking up nicely so i dont know when i should water them now.
cuase before i was doing the finger test but i guess i was still over watering it so i dont know

Let the top of the soil dry out before watering. Doing this allows oxygen to the roots, and will prevent overwatering. When you see the top layer nice and dry, crisp, its time to water. If its still moist, damp looking, then you know the bottom will be plenty damp. So wait till the top is dried before watering

i always did that and when it was dried like that i did the finger test too.
and it still i guess got over watered.
right now the yop soil is real dry
but i dont know about the bottm i put my finger in one of the drain holes and i think might be a little moist still

When your medium draws away from the edge of container,you have waited too long.The best way is, learn the container weight wet then dry,and water when container has lost almost all its water weight,takes time for most to learn this and you will never over are under water a plant again!!!Theres is no magic number, are amount days,cause as the plant grows of course it will consume more h20 and nutrients!This is good way to maximize the amount oxygen to the root sructure and Thats IMO the best way too push a plant to its fullest potental.

Yup, there is no majic number. Like he says, once you know your plant well enough, you can tell just bye looking at its soil, or picking it up. Because you know what it feels like when its good to go, and when it needs to be watered. And you know what it looks like.

But I just wanted to make sure he wouldnt be watering when the whole dop is still damp, alot of new growers make this mistake.

Really can't tell ya that one, not sure what your using, the numbers (NPK) ect. You dont want to start out giving it full strenth, because werent your plants nuteburnt before? Have to make sure it has recovered from the burn before giving it more nutes.

The 2nd Jerry Berry Is defiantly a male. It has been seperated, and will be killed today after I take some pics. To bad it wasn't a girl, was a really nice plant,

I will put some pics up of him today. Ill show the root system

The 2 that are budding are doing great. Looking really good. I will take some pics tomorrow. That would be 11 days flowering.

The Afgan never grew back any sacks, so it seems good to go, but I will be watching it carefully.

Everything is looking good. So far its a 50/50 ratio on males to females. I hope the 2 remaining are females though. But if I get only one out of them female, Please be the AK! That things a monster

You probly already no this but im gonna put it out there for those that dont,watch budsites!!You will be able to tell from them if they self pollenate.I have done the cutting like you have done and they still will have a few seeds in them but not alot and alot of times they never even develope enough too make seeds,but you can see that they have tried bye the way the buds just look!!!Hard to describe,but they look a little different like hulls with nothing in them.I had a run of plants that did that about a yr ago and turned out fine,but when i harvested them i found a bout 2 to 3 seeds per plant and they were not fully developed!

Yeah, thats a good point to make. Also, you can actually see when your ladies have been pollenated.

Google it. Like pollinated marijuana plant picture closeup. Or something like that and you will see what it looks like.

I am sure I have none left, I got all the really tiny ones, but for those who might not know, or see them, they are very tiny, but ya have to get them too

For anyone Who hasn't seen, I believe the pics of the AK are on page 31.

I will be taking pics of the Male I just found in a few. Gonna take some pics and smoke a joint.

im rooting for an ak female...its been forever since i smoked that strain and would love to see the plants. btw its in my list for future strains i need to grow. it looks really tall with tight internode branches i bet it comes out as one big ass cola and some big nugs stuck to the main stem. anyway hope its a female, i would rep you but i dont know how to do it with this new riu.

heres a link to my new journal if you wanna swing by

Thanks man. yeah I will stop by the new journal. Ya, I use the old RIU setup, you can still give rep. I forgot how to change it. I think twisted or Somebeech knows.

Ya, the AK would be probably one big as cola like you said. I hope its a girl too.

The other 2 that are going, have so many budsites, they were topped. So I am hoping for a decent yield. Ill check our the new journal. Thanks for stopping by.
