Anyone have any idea what kind of strain, I'm guessing indica dominant, but I'm not sure.
triple post...sorry....
Is it too early to determine the sex of my plant??? I'm hoping Crystal doesn't morph into Christopher. Peace.
Ok, got another strange thing happening with Crystal. There are 5 long, unserated string-like leaves coming straight up from the middle of her top leaves. What could those be?
indica dominant, but could be anything really...you wont know sex untill you change the light cycle.
from the sound of it, the leaves your talkin about are just new fan leaves forming, perfectly normal.
Hey Babystarbud, you are right and thanks for the input!
Just an update:
I started Crystal on some nutes 2days ago. I am using fish emulsion and I have also used some big bloom to prepare her for flowering. I plan to change her light cycle on day 30. She is now on day 21. She's lovin' the nutes and has already begun her 14th node! Her newest leaves are really going bezerk. Some have a total of 9 leaves and some have a total of 7 leaves.
Little Olivia is way behind her sisters, but she is still growing. She's very small on account of her dead cotyledons. I am going to continue to nurture her just in case she pulls through this fiasco.
Jody and Sophie at 3days above dirt have begun their second set of leaves. An intersting fact: Jody, who is in miracle grow soil, is a bit bigger than Sophie, who's in regular potting soil, but that isn't the only difference. Although both sprouts are from the exact same strand, Jody is a much darker shade of green than her sibling. Wonder why that is?
I've also planted another bean and as soon as the second bean germinates a bit more I'll plant her as well. This will give me 5 sprouts and one adolescent. Hopefully I'll have a female in the bunch.
Update:
Crystal is loving her nutes and has nearly doubled in size.
Jody is beginning to grow her second set of true leaves at day 4.
Sophie is looking good but hasn't started her second set of true leaves yet.
Olivia is 1/2 the size of her sisters but seems to be pulling through and looks as though she'll make it even though I crippled her.
Quick update:
I have a new sprout, 1 day up from soil. I've named her Gail, she is also of the Afghan strain.
Olivia is getting bigger and healthier looking. Proof that you should never give up on a crippled sprout.
Jody is well into her second set of true leaves.(5days old)
Sophie is working on her second set of true leaves (5days old)
I also have another bean waiting to pop up from the soil, that I planted yesterday.
Another update:
Pics to follow tonight.
Crystal is 9inches high and is working on her 18th node. She's only 26 days old and is already quite the giant. Still no sign of sex but between all her lower nodes she's sprouted mini nodes. Her stem at the base is 3/4's of an inch thick and from what I can tell she should be able to hold some serious buds.
Jody is working on her 6th node at 8 days old.
Sophie has fallen behind but has nearly finished her 2nd set of true leaves. One of her leaves seems to be mutated though. She's turned out to be a light green color and is growing much slower than Jody.
Olivia is also working on her second set of true leaves and it has become painfully apparent to me that the cotyledons are very important for the healthy growth of a plant. Since I crippled Olivia and as a result her cotyledons died prematurely she is the runt but fortunately she is still growing.
Gail, my 3 day old sprout, is working on her 2nd set of true leaves and is bigger than all of her sisters with the exception of Jody.
sounds like everything is running great! love that little compact indica from bag.
very interesting thread, hp, i think i'll stick around this one:)

Thank you Brookerosebud! I appreciate your comments.
Here is an update with pics!
Pic 1- This is Jody at day 10. She is coming along marvelously. Isn't she great? I think she's on her sixth node.
Pic 2- This is Gail. She's 5 days old, my youngest Afghani, and she seems to be coming along just fine.
Pic 3- This is Sophie. Sophie's got a deformed leaf...the pic is a crappy cell phone pic so I don't know if you can see it. She went into shock after her transplant but is finally starting to grow some more. She's the same age as Jody.
Pic 4- This is poor, crippled Olivia. I've kept her alive because I feel bad. She's struggling to hang on without the help of her cotyledons. See the importance of those seed leaves. She's not even a quarter size of her sisters but she still lives.
Pic 5- This is Crystal at day 28. (Crosses fingers and prays that she's female!) She now measures one foot tall and one foot wide. She's my big slut. She's got tons of undergrowth and seems to be loving life. She gobbles her nutes and her soil has stayed at a wonderful 7ph. I can't even count her nodes there are sooooo many and her undergrowth is phenomenal. Peace.
