Well everyone I was looking at the plants today and found a female and also what looks to be a male, but cant be positive yet, the rest are looking to be female though, but again too early to be certain. Really hoping my monster plant ends up female though(which it looks like it may be) cause that will be my big yield if it is. Will post pics soon. Thanks
Update, the monster plant is a female!!!! So as of now 2 females 1 male, and im almost positive its male its making clusters at the node sites,i broke my phone which is why I have not been posting pics lately, and the phone I have now has a garbage camera so maybe when my girl gets home I will use her phone to show you guys so I know it really is a male. Thanks for the support everyone. I am so excited my biggest plant became female she has so many tops it's ridiculous she is gonna yield alot. See ya later
Another update on sexing. I know for a fact I have 3 females 1 male and 1 unknown as of now. The unknown one is also the unknown strain that is different from the rest of my plants. It is showing pre-flowers but as of this moment it could pop little hairs out of it. Or it will grow more and show me it's male, I am leaning towards male though unfortunately for the unknown strain which kinda sucks because it looks much like an exotic strain, and I bet would have gave me some pretty dank buds. Hey I started with 6, 1 of them I killed off because it was growing like a retard and now out of 5 I have 3 females possibly 4. That's not bad for some headie bag seed. Pics later guys. pc
Awesome news Congrats on the lady's. Hope it all goes well
Final sex update, ended up with 3 females 2 of them were my biggest plants which is always good, but one3 of them was also my smallest plant which kinda sucks. The unknown strain ended up male, pretty shitty but whatever I got some monster females growing right now. All issues have been resolved and growth is happening very quickly.
Wow I woke up this morning and my smallest plants grew at least 6 inches into my light. That is insane kinda sucks though cause now she has burn marks on her leaves, but also good that they are growing so rapidly. These are the 3 girls and they are looking real good.
Ok so it has been a while since I have gave an update, been really busy plus this site is pretty boring, and no one even helps you around here if you do have a problem. In the meantime I have been doing a journal on another site, everything is doing really good a few problems with those brown spots spreading not that bad though really.They have grown alot and really filling out nicely, also been growing some real nice looking buds the monster plant is obviously doing the best, the other two are also doing well but a little behind my all star chick. Watering every 3rd day and still using the same lighting 420 actual output cfl 2700 k, and 400 watts hps4700 k, all together 820 watts mixed spectrum and lighting and that is really working well for me. I vegged them with a 250 watt 6500k maxlume cfl, for a little over 4 weeks. I'm still using the botanicare line consisting of pro grow (for veg only, no longer using), pro bloom, cal-mag, sweet, liquid karma, and clearex with flushes. Thanks fopr following me along some pics will be up soon my phone is still broke and my girls iphone is garbage wont upload pics over 2 mb, sorry.
Hi I seen that your growing is a good sucess over the number of days :) I was wondering have you any tips for growing because it's my first time. I have only planted one to start and its sprouting now. I'm still living at home with my mother so it's kinda hard for me to grow it while she's still there ha any tips on growing?
follow everything I did get quality stuff such as soil, ph meter( you can not grow without this, dont even bother trying),botanicare fertilizers, timer, keep a good watering schedule, a quality veg light of at least 250 watts possibly more depending on your grow area but that seems to do the trick, idk man just be consistent with what you do. Read stuff online, can't really tell you how to grow,but if you have any questions about problems I could be more specific. Make sure your getting good air circulation your living with your mom so I imagine that will be a problem for you,but it's gotta be done.
Looking good there Billy..
The plants seem to be going through a stretch. Have you thought of some low stress training ? This might be good to even out your canopy and let the light dissipate more evenly.
It will also give you more 'tops' as the lower branches start to get more light.
Nice little log going on :)
Take care
S.L.
Billy,
Your looking good - Hopefully I'll catch up soon. You do need more LST/twisting/fim
If you would have FIM'd while topping, and topped twice in the process, you'd be about two weeks behind, but you'd have 3 massive short bushes instead of 3 trees. Check out my log and you'll see what I mean, I haven't topped at all, but I've taken several clones, and my plant is 1 month old, and I've already put her into flower (about 9" total) but only about 4" tall :D
Talk soon, I hope they yield well for you, take your biggest plant, and we'll compare that yield to my pineapple, see who wins :D
Oh, and I'm STILL only using CFL :D
But great job, looking good!
(Btw, sorry I haven't been around, got banned for mouthing off to toast)
ya cause i had in with no light well general sunlight coming in de window and it spouted but that took about 3 weeks so I think ima try it propper now after de info u sent on hopefully it'll be a sucess like urs lol how's ur batch goin u still growing or budding?

I did fim and I don'y know if I didn't do something right or whatever but it didn't really seem to do anything besides stunt growth and give me deformed leaves. As it was my first time topping I only did it to one plant. Next time I will be topping all of them numerous times cause it did wonders. What is twisting? From the pics you guys are looking at things have really changed I have not posted pics cause I have a little bullshit phone now. I just pulled out the digital camera today and I will post pics. I am definetley having some problems with yellowing and brown spots and dying leaves. Please check back with me later see if you can help me. How did your harvest go?

If anyone has any idea what the brown spots are excluding off PH and pests and overfeeding that would be very appreciated. I have already ruled those three out. I have no idea whats going on with them I'm losing leaves so rapidly if this keeps up I may be forced to harvest early. Unless I am under the wrong impression that if all the leaves fall off that the buds will no longer grow due to not taking in the light anymore. I know it's normal for some older fan leaves to yellow and die,but now the fresh leaves coming out of the buds are getting brown spots on them. I already tried epsom salt and cal-mag and nothing. One thing I have noticed is that when the lights go out and then come back on I can really notice more spots, so I believe the majority of it is happening in the dark cycle. I'm baffled it was really easy to veg them and everything was great, but once I switched the lights that's when the real test starts ,and you really start running into problems.

But you really need to get some artificial light on em bro, it's winter well at least in ny and the sun is not that strong right now. Plus inside plants require inside light. For veg you dont need anything too serious go pick up some compact fluros the 23 watters seem to be the most efficient as far as lumens go, get enough to equal around 150-200 watts since you only have one plant and treat it well, cause unless it's a feminized seed it could be male so you gotta be careful with light leaks at night, what type of lighting schedule are you using bro?
Billy so glad you asked my opinion, much love.
Okay, check your temps, make sure you've got a thermometer recording the highs and lows, you can see that your leaf tips are pointed up, not just the brown ones, but the edges as well, they're burning. I think the hots might actually be hotspots, did you accidentally let the plants grow into the lights? I've seen these spots before too on my bubbles, they grew into the CFL's and I didn't catch it for a few hours.
If its not nutes or mights, it's gotta be the temps.
Also check your humidity, and... are you foilar feeding? (using a spray bottle) - Water can act as a magnifying glass (seen this as well), if your not letting your water sit long enough, you might also be seeing drying out from the partials that are left after the water has evaporated.
Wanted to add - bottom trich's are already looking rich! gonna be a nice smoke :D If need be, trim off your fan leaves, you don't really need them, but don't let that spread.

I am starting to wonder cause I have a mixture of happy frog and roots organic perlite mix, but I made a big layer of straight roots organic at the bottom for extra drainage, and from what I can tell the roots organic is pretty acidic so my conclusion came to the roots at the bottom are sitting in the roots organic which is pretty acidic like I said and messing with the ph in that area,which would explain the one part of the plant being fine and one part spotting cause just the roots on the very bottom are laying in the layer of the soil-less mix,and the rest of the roots are just in the happy frog. Im at a loss of ideas here I will try to back the lights up a bit see if that helps but I dont know if its that, and no I stopped foliar feeding once the first sign of buds showed. Let me know what you think about my idea

Now let me add it's winter here in ny and my furnace is now running and ik furnace heat and winter air equals DRY DRY DRY. You think this could cause these spots?
I'd cover up the heat ducts in that room, and turn the bathroom exaust on....
Your cooking them - There should be a 5-10 degree difference in day/night cycles. Not a 20+ difference, so there is a small part, another one, is the ideal temps are 72-76 degrees. A good thermometer has an RH reading, this is room humidity (no, it isn't, it's relevant humidity, and no, this isn't edited, I'm high, so this is the shit I think in my head while I'm typing)
If the room is dry, yes, get some moisture in there, but the fact that your budding, you don't want it super moist, my cab is about 20%, I'm just building my new flower cab (DIY guide to come, maybe) and I'm going to keep that at about 20% as well. Could that cause the spots? Well, my BEST GUESS is a combination of the foilar feeding, the low lights (600w should be 18"), the high temps - Because you know if the room temp is 84, the plants closest to the lights are just under 100 - The lack of humidity and perhaps the roots, but if they're not leaking out the bottom hard core, I wouldn't be too concerned about that, but if your runoff is that acidic, I'm sure there are a few things you can do.
Just keep in mind, when you told me to give you my best guess, you told me to leave out nutes ;)
More pics!
btw-
You got some clones or seeds going? Your gonna wanna get them up quick, this is going to be a good harvest for you, but this wouldn't last me until the next crop time at 9+ weeks

Whats a good site, I plan on switching to DWC soon hopefully before my next grow, just wanted to see if I could be successful in soil first, some things went wrong this grow but it could have been alot worse,now I will never make that mistake again or twice. I want to get a few auto flower strains, and some regular cycle plants,and this next grow I will keep a mother plant to take clones Just wanna find which strain is worth cloning. Hey your absolutely right about the temp difference the exhaust fan is always going though, but its a bathroom with tile floor and the heat vent is closed so the tile gets pretty cold at night which is why there is such a big difference. And I'm not foliar feeding!! I did however raise the HPS light, but kept the cfl's the same I changed my water too. I figure change the things I have not to rule everything out to fix the problem instead of doing the same old thing wondering why the problem persists. My run off averages low 6 so the run off is decent remind you I put it in at a high 8 so next grow I will use much less roots organic soiless mix.Thanks for your insight dude, always a pleasure
I use the attitude - Some tips on your order, you can't successfully clone an auto flowering plant and expect it to grow, it will grow, but it will bud at the same time as the mom - Remember, the autoflower gene is in the genetics, its a timed release, not forced. You can still get quick flowering non autoflowering strains. Example is bubblicious, there is the normal strain which can be cloned, and the autoflowering strain. The auto finishes a few weeks faster, but the non auto yields more and can be cloned, non autos also react to topping better.
I build a carbon filter and I'm building a new flowering chamber now, I'm doing a DIY guide to the entire process, but I'm on my 4th or 5th joint break (I don't know, its all recorded) today, so a three hour job has gone, well, behind schedule... lol - Anyway, you'll be able to see how I handle some of these issues your dealing with now.
Also.... if its getting that cold in there because of the tile, use an electric blanket
Cmon now, I know I'm an engineer, but couldn't anyone have figured that out? :D Just teasin bro, but the electric blanked would be a good idea (maybe with a plastic drop cloth over the top... Cover your ass...)
Anyway, my new guide will be posted tonight, or tomorrow afternoon, depending on how many more breaks I take! :rasta:
I put a little heater in there keeps it at 70 degrees and the ventilation fan is running so it doesnt get hot and stale. Since backing the lights up and making sure my run off is at least a low 6 things have seemed to get better. The progression of the brown dots have def slowed down, idk if it is completely fixed but as long as I can make it to the end of the flowering cycle I will be happy. The plaants grow extremely fast and every time I come home from work the buds get bigger and more dense. I know the plants are healthy by the rate they are growing just those damed brown spots, as long as it finishes right I'm happy I guess they just won't look very pretty, but idc, I will be chopping them down soon anyway :)

I'm glad I was able to help bro - what's your nute blend?
Botanicare pro bloom, sweet, liquid karma, occasionally cal mag, and clearex for flushes
I flush with extracts, depending on the strain - Like with my fiona, I'll be flushing with pineapple extract - Last feeding will be a boost of pineapple with a touch of mint.
You can get all sorts of extracts, good stuff to flush with :)
Good luck, can't wait to see the harvest!
Had to harvest early unfortunately trouble in paradise, got 3/4 of a pound so anyone know what that will be dry?? Will post pics when everything is dried and cured. Will hopefully be back soon with another journal that will hopefully be dwc.
3-4 ounces.
Why'd you have to harvest early?

But it def would have been nice to get too the swelling phase.
Hey I'm back so start following my grow again and give me as much info and help as possible. Basically the same thing as last time still using bag seeds from headie ounces, but this time I uped the ante. I now am growing in a 2 1/2X 4 1/2X 7 ft. grow tent, and I now have 10 plants instead of 6. I decided to go with the bag seed again just to get another grow under my belt, I had a few problems with unknown brown spots, so I obviously made a mistake somewhere down the line and I want to make sure Im at my best before I go growing seeds I paid for or autoflowers which is what I have my eye on, This time Im running a 600 watt MH for veg instead of the 200 watt cfl, so this is also a test for me to see which one really makes these plants flourish I'm also trying a new fertilizer called Infinity by Soul Synthetics which i guess is half organic and half synthetic, it's supposed to be better than liquid karma, lol we will see. I posted 3 pics so you guys can see what I'm working with and as always feedback is appreciated. Still using HF mixed with some roots organic soiless and perlite. As of now thats all I gott any questions feel more than welcome to ask, I'm hoping to get some more action on this site this time it was really boring last time around, and very hard to get any help.
Nice clean setup man. Looking forward to the show. What are you running for temp control?

Ill be posting pics soon, thanks for taking an interest
