Do you think that you'll be cloning the girls to get a few more plants?
Naw. We just don't have the room to get into any cloning, yet. The Mrs. and I keep tossing out ideas to expand and make our grow space permenant. But, so far, we haven't come up with a workable solution.
However, we are seriously considering taking one female to seed if we get enough females. We're still hoping to cross the AK with a BA to get some seed stock for future grows. Or, a batch of seeds from either one would be acceptable, too.;)
Ok. If AK-47 x Blue Apollo = Spaced Invader, would bagseed x AK-47 be Armed & Homeless or Desperado ?:D
Today's feeding will be the last for the transition period. No more Gro from here on out. Just Bloom, Cal/Mag, Sweet and Molassas.
Turns out AK #2 is also a girl. So far, that makes 3 out of 4 AK's that are females.
One of the BA's may be starting to show that it's a male. It's really hard to tell if it's a male or it is just beginning to sprout a third pair of leaves at the sixth node. Several of the BA's have three sets of leaves at a node.
We were trying to tie down/bend a couple of the BA's as they are really stretching out. One had been tied down for about 30 minutes when the stalk gave way. We straightened it up and put on a splint. We'll see how it does. We managed to get one BA tied down successfully (knock wood).
In the first pic we're trying to give y'all an idea how big the stalks are on the BA's. These babies are just getting huge. They may end up being too big (tall) for our tent.
We're really hoping that a male or two will show soon. It's getting quite crowded in there.;)
OMG! those babies are boomin'!! don't stress over the one that creased, I was tying down one of my ladies about 2 weeks into 12/12, and she creased bad. I put a splint on, and after about a week or so she was better than new. I eventually did get her tied down like I wanted, I just did it a little @ a time after that. I know where I went wrong though, I forgot to water at least an hour before I tried to tie her down. lesson learned! out of curiosity, did you guys water before you tried to tie her down?
Yup. We watered and went about other farm chores for about an hour first.
well what a bummer! still though, no worries she'll come back fine. the plants look amazing mctoker! I'm still watching your bagseed, I'm now convinced I need to order some beans. I hope it's female though, I'd still like to see the difference in yield. I really enjoy watching your grow, I always check for updates. keep up the good work guys.:thumbsup:
fluid69 ~ I'm hoping the bagseed is a female too. A comparison would be great, not only to the store-bought seeds but to our last bagseed grow with CFL's.
Couldn't sleep so I got up to check on the babies after the lamp kicked on. BA #1 is looking more like a male. It is by far the tallest of all the plants. I'll give it until, at least, tomorrow. But, BA #2 is a girl !
We were hoping to move some outdoors but I don't think that's going to work out for us. Breeding projects will just have to wait for another time. Just too much going on right now.:(
McT! I'm floored by all of the changes since last I checked in on your ladies (and possible BA male). It looks like things are about to get exciting for you - I can't wait to see all of those heavy buds.
Also, I hope all goes well with your upcoming surgery. I'll be sure to keep you in my thoughts and prayers, my friend!
Continued good luck with your grow!
Good to see you buddy! Thanks for the prayers.
The BA did turn out to be a male. We have a small window of time to work with so we moved him outdoors. He'll stay in his hempy bucket. Temps here will be back up to seasonal normal (107 F) in a few days. We'll be able to see how he handles the heat and how well a hempy bucket works outdoors.
If all goes well, we'll harvest some pollen for later use.
Here's the score as of this morning:
Bagseed = GIRL
BA #2 and #3 = GIRLS
All of the AK's #1, #2, #3 and #4 = ALL GIRLS
Only two BA's have yet to show.
We tied string around the midsections of most of the remaining plants to support the lower branches. They all are now getting more light to the middle and lower bud sites.
We're a little concerned about the humidity. It was at 55% when we opened the tent this morning. We removed the excess water in the overflow pans and we're hoping that the extra light getting through will also help lower the humidity. We also raised the circulation fan a bit higher to get better air circulation.
Your log is so fun to watch for me. I can't wait to see the results! You're gonna absolutely love your AK, Mc!
