Shov's Spring 2010 Grow

Looking real healthy there Shov. Seems I always learn from your grows so, sign me up.:thumbsup:

Nice looking babies :greenthumb:

I had recently started using bag pots and im not to fond of them.
I am now planning on switching to square plastic pots (more space,more plants),I wanted to know if you liked them and what are the advantages?

thanks in advance

Damn i gotta say.... nicely done man, nicely done. I'll be praying for females all around. :)

square, round, I use them both, especially the smaller sizes. I think putting square pots edge to edge to conserve space wouldn't work for me as I like to turn the plants in relation to the lights quite often. Square pots wouldn't make this too easy. I've used the 3 gallon bags for two grows now and I like them. I don't think I'd go any bigger. I transplant into 5 gallon pails if I need to.

Thank you for the kind words too. Good luck with your grow.

The plants are into their eighth week of veg and are mature (alternate nodes) but none have shown sex, as of yet. They have stretched as much as I can deal with so I've started LST on the taller ones.

Yesterday I watered and fed them. Today I changed the lamps to HPS and warm white T-5 HO and set the timer for 11 hours of light and 13 hours of dark. If no sex in another week or so I'll go to 9 hours of light.

I'll wait to transplant. If I'm lucky enough to have all or mostly females ethen I might just finish them all in the 3 gallon pots. If I have some males then I will have room to go into 5 gallon pails.

I've been too much busy to photo or do much of anything but I will get a photo update sometime this week.

I hope your feeling better, I know you and your family were not well for sometime. Take care of yourslef first, dont worry about pics, we understand, well I do. Take Shove and I bet your babies still look great.

Thanks for the updates Shov, and as EnhAnceD said... we can wait.

Very happy to say that flowering has begun Downunder and my skunks look absolutely smashing.

Happy days,

sara

Switched to a new HPS lamp and WW T5s. Lights on 11, off 13 for now. If the haze do not show sex in a week I'll go to 9/15 until they do and then gradually go back to 12/12.

Here's photos of the five NH and six SSH x BB. The NH have been topped and LSTed, the SSH x BB not topped, just LSTed. One detailed photo of the method I use to LST, pieces of wire. The final photo is the Bubblegum x Blueberry. This plant has not been topped nor LSTed.

Ladies are looking great shov :greenthumb:

Im also liking that technique you are using to figure out the sex.

Lately ive been having luck and getting all females, they show sex before flowering (besides my hermie problem).
I think I am going to do this as well as would like to know the sex before i put them into flowering just in case my next grow isn't that lucky

Shoot, most of the nice hybrids I've grown show sex in 6 weeks veg (18/6) This sucks. Last time I waited forever to find all mu NH were males. :mad:
