CFL, third grow, bagseed from EXCELLENT bag (popcorn)

They are four inch pots. It's true that the biggest fastest growing ones are often males. However, if I have five plants chances are good to get at least one female right? I'm curious, when people have used bagseed from really excellent bud, has it generally bred fairly true? I don't need super-icky-gooey-danky-mcpurple-purp-funky-sneezer boutique quality, just some good daily smoke. :) If I can get just one good quality mother I don't think I even care about breeding, although that may change if laws change or my economic situation changes. :) I've never had a clone fail so far.

Do you think it's too late to try to separate the two seedlings? I also don't have quite enough room under my lights for two more pots. I would have to rotate them at intervals to make sure each one had some time in the sun. I know it's not the best setup, but I just lost most of my employment ten days ago, and even before that I have been strictly rationing my food due to poor cashflow, so more lights and equipment is a definite no at this time. Right now I have 46 watts of CFL over the babies.

WOW, this one has grown it's leaves much bigger in the course of HOURS! It's amazing to see a plant visibly grow not in days but hours. And the little fairy ring is cute! :) I don't think it's dangerous to the plants, AFAIK, most mushrooms are very specific in their feeding and if they are saprophytes they will only help convert the wood chips into usable nutrients, and won't attack living roots. Where's a tiny gnome when you need one? Or a teensy toad. :)

Oh, and these leaves look wider than what I have seen in past efforts. I think it may be more indica, which tells me the weed was grown by a pro, which is why it was so much better than what is commonly available here. (At decent prices anyway, I only paid 60/half for it.)

definetly seperate your two into seperate pots. just stick them into solo cups etc... it shouldn't be too late.

Okay, I transplanted the seedlings. Now I have to stack some pots on top of eachother. :) I've done it before, once I sex the plants I can get rid of the crowdedness.

First off I dug a hole in the center of each pot I was going to put a seedling into.

Next I dug a small hole using a spoon as a shovel about one inch away from the seedling I intended to remove from the pot. I did this so I could dig out the seedling without crushing the roots (an empty spot for the soil to go into instead of compacting).

Then I put the spoon directly in the middle between the two seedlings, stuck it in as deep as I thought the roots would be, and scooped the spoonful of dirt containing the roots in the direction of the hole I had dug.

Then I just tugged gently on the stem, and there was some resistance so I dug a little deeper and tugged a bit until the seedling came free. Then I patted the soil back around the remaining seedling, place the roots of the dug-up seedling into the hole I dug in the other pot, patted the soil down around it, and I'm done!

Now I just need to wait and see if I have killed them. I guess I'll know by bedtime. :) Hopefully this is a good technique. If anyone has comments or suggestions I would love to hear it.

The one on the lower left of the picture is standing up again now. :) They all look great, no signs of wilting. I think they are just fine! :)

There likely won't be much to report for a few weeks now. I will post if something unusual happens, like the next set of leaves is a group of three or one of the plants dies or something. Otherwise, my next posting will be when they begin alternating nodes and then I'll post pics of clones going into my cabinet. :)

A few days ago I looked at a pot that had mushrooms in it but I thought the seeds in it were dead. Lo and behold, one stem wasn't a mushroom but a sprout. It's one of the twisty mutant seedlings. :) It seems to be growing very slowly, but hopefully it will get stronger and I hope it's female. :)

Also, I accidentally knocked one of my seedlings off the shelf and all the dirt fell out and I put the seedling back but some of the leaves are damaged. It looks like it'll survive though.

For the record, I see no difference so far in size or healthiness of the seedlings that are on spring water compared to the ones on tap water.

Here's a pic of the twisty plant. Does it not look like a caduceus? I haven't photoshopped this in any way whatsoever.

LOL, I thought another seed had sprouted when I saw this. It was actually just a mushroom which just happened to sprout with the empty shell of a hempseed on its cap.

The twisty plant that looked like a caduceus has radial instead of lateral symmetry. :) and the first two sets of leaves were one-leaflet leaves, the third set is four fingered. :) It's funny looking, and very stunted. I will keep updating on this little guy. BTW it's more frosty than the others. I hope it's a girl and yields some good stuff. :)
