Hey Ganjaman
Would love to have a look at some photos if you can work out how to post them. If you start a new thread, when your inserting message there should be a tool bar above the message box. Click on the button that looks like a paper clip and that will let you upload 5 pics. Really interested to see what yours look like. You based in the UK?
they usually start to flower at end july/beginning of august. Are you seeing any preflowers? By now it should at least be telling you it's ready to flower. But, you just like me, I watch my plants like boiling water, lol. My biggest plant just started to show male flowers :( . Half are beginning to flower. I don't have nearly enough patience. You prbably hae a female, though, usually the males are the first to show sex.
Hey Guys
This is going to be my last post before my vacation so time for an update and some new pics
The first white hairs have started to come through!!!!! They are too small to capture on my crappy camera but this gives me a lot of hope that is is infact female! She is adjusting to being outside 24/7 very well and is standing strong(with the help of some bambo) whilst enjoying the great weather we've had today. Hopefully things will just keep getting better from here on in and all the storms are behind us!
Here's a few new photos. Next update will probably be the start of August when hopefully we'll be able to see some bud action
Cheers
now then tingting i have 2 frisian dew i did'nt want a 6'5" bud monster so i topped both of mine when they were about 14" i've trained them to grow up each plant now has 8 branche's 2 are 4'2" and the other 6 stem's are about working from the bottom up 2 are 2'6" then the next 2 are 3' and then 3'6". and the other 1 is a little bit smaller so instead of a 6'5" bud monster i've got 2 bushy bud monster's .i only buy female seed's so i don't have the trouble your having now trying to identify what sex it is mine is coverd in little white hair's.i'll send some pic's soon.
no way tingting you should see your plant's starting to show a differance by mid augest i have 2 frisian dew myself. i'll post some pic's soon lol be intouch.
Hey Ganjaman
I'm not overly pleased of the size of her but as this is my first grow I decided not to try anything risky. I guess I'm pretty pleased at how it's gone so far. The Frisian Dew seeds said they were feminized. How reliable in your experience is that information? Is it always the case or is there the odd occasion where some turn out to be male? What do you mean by bud monster by the way? What sort of yield should I expect to get? Sorry for all the questions lol
Hello Everyone
Back from holiday now. 2 Weeks away from the baby was hard work but what I came home to def put a smile on my face.
She is now a few inches over 7ft and I can now confirm that she is 100% female well on her way to giving me a great yield (fingers crossed) Lots of white hairs now!!! The weather I've been told has been pretty choppy but she seems to have been getting enough sunlight IMO.
Only bad thing I noticed is tiny holes starting to appear on a some of the leaves. I couldn't get any great shots of this damage as my camera was acting up a bit but In one of the photos you can clearly see what I'm talking about. A friend of mine who has a little experience said it was nothing to worry about but I would still like a 2nd or 3rd opinion!
Thanks all, any feedback much appriciated :D
Awesome plant, man! If I came home to that I might just get a stiffy, lol. The bug problem won't do any real damage to her at this point in the game, some bug bites are expected outdoors. You'll be sittin' pretty in 9wks.
Yeah I'm really happy with her now. Pruned some of the bottom leaves which were dying off or not getting enough light and gave her a real good water. Today she's looking amazing and hundreds of white hairs have now come through, This really is the most exciting part! I'm going to try and get some good photos of the bud progression when I fix my camera.
Nice looking plant man. I grew two on my deck(IN AVATAR). This was in 07, when i was less educated. Well, after reading a thread one day, i found out that the 07 grow hermied up cuz the chick that lives here sometime works a night shift. Well my daughter was turning on this small light for her to see. It hermied up both plants. Also, might have messed up 2 plants this year. I learned about the light leak thing just this year. If i were you id get cardboard, duct tape and a few poles to enclose it as much as possible. You dont want that plant going hermy on you. Really, after what iv read, light leaks are BAD. Its like as bad as just stop watering your plant. You would never do this of course, but the light thing, dont take it lightly..Sorry for the pun...............................Good luck guy:thumbsup::rasta:
