CFL, third grow, bagseed from EXCELLENT bag (popcorn)
it'll be a little bit before they get crystals. I'm growing some bagseed myself, so here's a couple of pics.
pic #1 some where around 2 weeks of 12/12

pics #2 & #3 are around 3 weeks. almost over night they frosted over.

I also have a plant that appears to be a sativa dominant. It looked about the same as my indicas till about week three, but it still has no sign of crystals to speak of. I'm thinking it's going to be atleast a 10wk strain.

Thanks fluid, that's exactly what I needed to see. :) I feel a lot better now. Oh my lights and fan just turned on in my cab gonna check if any more clones have sexed yet. I've increased my dark time to a little more than 12 hours to try to speed up sexing it seems to take forever though that's probably just due to the cutting being taken from immature plants. The mothers are only just starting to grow alternately. :)

Tapwater F showed his balls today. :( His little flower and the growth tips of his dad are in my toaster drying now. I guess I have smoke tonight!! So far that's two male, one female, and five unknown.

Another male, another female!! I'm gonna be choking on some nasty boy-leaf, but at least it smokes, and I got one more set of plants out of my grow area. I have a good example of why sexing can be so difficult and why it's sometimes tough to call a plant male and chop it. I will post a pic of the LST on the female in a few hours, and update the alternate sexing thread as well. Oh and a pic of the previously sexed female. So far it looks like she's gonna put out a decent bud, it doesn't seem to be stretching much at all. The count so far is three males, two females, and three unknown. Oh and I got a clone of the twisty plant. I put the cutting in a jiffy peat pellet four days ago and there are now roots coming out of the net.
Pic #1 is the balls on the male. Pic #2 shows a pistil on the female. Pic #3 is another angle of that same plant. This is why sexing is so difficult. I almost said "BALLZ!" and culled this plant, but when I looked with a magnifying glass I saw that they were actually the first sprouts of new branches getting started. I almost made a big mistake. So for everyone out there anxious about chopping a plant you think is male but you're kinda not too sure, wait another day or two. You may kill a good plant.

Okay, so far spring water has produced two males and a female, tap water has produced one male and one female. When I saw the study that indicated feminization of plants due to excess nitrogen it gave me an idea that nutrition may play a role in cannabis sex. And since I am already doing an experiment on spring water versus tap, I figure it wouldn't hurt to keep track of which water produced which sexes. If it is lopsided enough that I think it warrants further study I will make a thread about it in the advanced techniques section.
Now on to the pics!! I have a pic of Tap E which I just started on LST, a full view of Spring G and three close-ups of Spring G. I don't know where the blue bits are coming from, you don't see that when you look at the plant. It's something the camera is picking up for some reason.
I'm happy at how much her trichomes are increasing, but I'm wondering why she isn't producing much odor. Perhaps it's because I sleep in the same room with all the mother plants? Could I be desensitizing my nose to the odor?

Ummm, you just started LST and its' in flower? Save the LST for the veg stage next time. Doing that may cause your lady to stress and could/may hermie on you (knock on wood). Looks pretty frosty though for being so early in flowering! :thumbsup:

How would it do that if I didn't damage the stem? There's no impediment to the flow of water through the stem... I don't doubt you but I'm curious the mechanism in action.

Just cause you didn't damage the stem in anyway doesn't mean it doesn't stress them hence LST (Low Stress Training) I'm not saying it will do anything to it, I was just stating that their is a possibility it could. Sometimes any little stress in flower can be damaging and sometimes it shows no significant problems.

Okay, I'll keep a close eye on it. Damn now if it goes herm I don't know if it's extra susceptible = bad genetics or if I screwed it up. Hopefully it doesn't, but if it does I'll just make another clone and see. :)The lowest flowers are lookinf yummy too, I can already see the crystals!! Something I only saw a tiny bit of on my first grow. Like four trichomes on each individual calyx lol. The first calyxes that appeared on this one are COVERED in clear mushrooms. :)

how old are they now from initial cut?
