Here's a shot from today. I found 7 females and four males today. 3 more plants are yet to show but I'm pretty sure they are all girls. 10 out of 14 isn't bad. Only 3 were feminized. I added MagPro to my feed today. Doing everything half strength at this point. Magpro I did at 1/4 strength and Superthrive I give full strength.

Damn those males look crazy... I have never had one get that far, I am still on the fence about 2 of my mystery plants being female or not... one I thought had two white hairs emerging the other I can't hardly even see a preflower forming at all, they're microscopic still 9 days into 12/12! Wish mine would show that easily for me right now so I could get rid of them if they are males. Only 2 of my plants in question could be though, everything else is clone.

Pardon me but I thought you were going to be growin' in 2 liter's. If so you don't want your plant to grow that long, there isn't enough room for that kind of root growth. If you are talking big buckets,,, well then let the games begin.

No problem. Of course I'm growing using 2l's. as of now I'm growing those plants to become mother plants so I can take cuttings from. If I started to take clones now from the one month old plants I can only take about 75 cuttings.

Rocket,
when you start taking cuttings they really explode with new growth. .. because they have already established a good root zone. ... Are your Moms topped?

One doesn't like to admit failure, but I screwed up bad. Hopefully someone can learn from my mistake.
DON'T USE RAID KILL ALL BUG BOMBS!!!!!
After using between flower secessions, and wiping everything down, some of that shit was left behind.
And it is NOT compatible with the cannabis plant.
I put everything back in after the cleaning, and over the next couple of wks a syndrome I have labeled as DEATH spread through the rm. I lost everything in the veg box. The flower area fared a bit better, but is still shedding lower fans. I've treated one plant with Hygrozyme and it has shown improvement immediately. I'll start treat the others next watering. (I didn't know if the hygrozyme would help or just kill the plant, glad to see it worked as advertised).
Photos show a couple of dieing clones from the veg box and some leaves that keep falling.

Damn, that sucks big time. Commiserations.
Thanks for the heads up. .... I have some Hygrozyme. Its good stuff (they say). All I know is that when growing in soil my plants were super healthy but I was making Teas as well.
Those Bombs sound super toxic. Like something Saddam Hussein was stockpiling. ... What you going to do now? Clean everything and start again?

No my moms are not topped. Do you recommend that I top them?

Ah dude. They most defo should have been topped after around the first four (or 6) nodes appeared.
This would would mean the side branches would grow out. as opposed to growing upwards.
A better quality clone is produced and like 10 times as many and a lot quicker.
....... I sensed you were not doing this by your posts, your mothers seem to be taking a while.... Basically, with my mothers I'm constantly trimming and pruning, It may sound counter-intuitive but this is how productive mothers are kept.
Please others , jump in with opinions and thoughts.

I used the RAID Fumigator ones, they make a 'smoke' kind of fog instead of using aerosol and I have noticed no ill effects in here, I did this several weeks ago because I kept running into huge spiders and I hate spiders... Might want to try those next time, you still have to move the plants for several hours but it seemed to be a lot easier to do and less messy too. Also it's non flammable which was nice since I did my basement with 3 of them at once.

I used a fogger, it was the 3rd time and nothing happened the first 2 times. I know that during cleaning I didn't clean the bulb side of my light hoods. I have since cleaned them.

That sucks bad Watt. Thanks for the heads up and hope it at least stayed contained to the veg side.

2 modes of Motherhood in my Mom chamber.
Stasis:Reduced nutes,and light intensity.Less needed frequency for trim back maintenence.
Production:Increased nute strength,and light intensity.Increases available cuttings.
By topping for Mum preperation,you are opening up the inner canopy.LST two main branches apart to create shoot site frame work.
Remember that the Mother has to have enough leaf mass exposed to enough light to sustain itself. Less nutes are needed for general health.

Thanks dude, you've explained it much better than I.
Rocket, has now topped his Moms. Hopefully he'll post some pics.

Ok, seems I've been gone for some time now. The plants are doing alright in my retarded hempy buckets lol. the growth started out slow, but is picking up since the plants better established themselves. I'll put some pics on here in just a few. Oh yeah, the one I planted with the peat pellets is doing waaay better than the others throughout the whole grow. Idk if it's because it retains moister better, but that my best guess. My grow journal will have most of the pics I've taken since I haven't been posting latley.

Only chemical based antibug instrument I use is Hot Shot pest strips.Only one strip hangs 5 ft from grow,till replaced in spring(due not realy need in winter).My major bug killer are those mouse glue traps that are supposed to be folded over to funnel effect the rodents.I just lay the glue traps flat against hidden corners,or along walls near entrance ways.Be carefull if you have pets.I had a mess of a trouble taking one off my shoe,and Fido's face would be a real bitch.I wipe my brow at the things that find there way onto the trap.

Excuse the mess with the mother box (26"x26x35"/66x66x89cm).I slapped her together with scrap from the cab build,along with some left over flat white paint,and some additionaly purchased lighting.Light leaks do not matter, but kept low for the dark period for health.18/6 photoperiod 24/7.
pic#1)Mothers do not have to look pretty.They do have to be healthy.Back row has Mums,and some dads LST'ed or waiting to be LST'ed.Front rows are awaiting on selection.
#2)2 55 watt each PLL floro's powered by a Fulham Workhorse 5 ballast.Ballast was mounted outside of box with 1/4 inch spacers so passive airflow flows around ballast(cooler ballast=cooler tube).Vertical CFL is 23 watts,extended with socket adapters.Horizontal CFL is 15 watts.The PLL,and CFL have there own on/off switch.
Production has increased nute strength,and all lights on.Stasis has the PLL's switched off,and with just the CFL's running.For extra conservation and making sure 1st everyone is in good health?I will take out the vertical,and let the horizontal provide photoperiod.The 15 watt horizontal will cause some stretching,but that is slowed down with the stasis nute reduction,and will put back the vertical before lights out.
#3)Plants are individualy raised/lowered to there needs.Black tray plants are in 12oz Hempy cups with a clone in flower.If they make the cut (tee-hee)?Then they are placed in 24oz Hempy cup.If I had to go away on emergency for a week?I would transplant them to 1 gal Hempy with the RRR,or Rest Roots on Res technique,but only a lil deeper in res.Feed them with liberal runoff using a lite strength feed,and just have the 15 watt horizontal CFL going.I applied the same technique for weekends away here,and there with them just in the 24oz with no problems.
current pics of my flower chamber that I used to illustrate floro questions.
