Emmies Grow Log - White Widow

Just wanted to stop in and ask why you keep refering to your babies as "boys"? You may want to refer to them as "girls" so they don't get mad and hermie on you:D

You deffinately don't want any boys hanging around your ladies:thumbsup:

Good grow so far too!!! Just make sure you tke the advice thats been given because they are right. You deffinatley dont want to add any nutes to pre-fert soil and if you do, wait until flower and start very very low. I am at about half strength coming up on week 4 of flower and I feed them MG Bloom Booster and they love it. Also, try not to overwater and cause your babies to drown.

You need to read the first post as this is an experiment, which em is trying to predict sex at 6 days from the seed popping. Its interesting. But the plants she refers to as ''boys'' if this experiment works, they will be male and the other labeled female.

My bad, I missunderstood:stoned::smokin:

Dec 23 (14 days) - Today at the 2 week point I lead off with a picture!

Helicopter view of #1, our prize big boy!

Yesterday our little ones had a busy day. They moved out of the closet and into the new grow box. The box isn't completely finished yet, but it is time to start testing it under real life conditions. Now the light hitting them has doubled yet again under the big Sunblaze 48/8 light. Also, we now have changed the light spectrum a bit with addition of a bit of red light. (I only have 6 blue bulbs)

As a result of all this activity our babies got out their sunglasses and reached up to the light today. It was remarkable seeing them all turn their leaves upward in direct response to the added light. There was not a lot of apparent growth comparing pictures from yesterday to today, but I am preparing for a growth spurt today and tomorrow when they decide that the added energy is here to stay and instead of storing it, they start using it to build.

Just 2 shopping days left till Christmas! Everyone stay safe!

interesting experiment, will be watching for results

Dec 24 (Day 15) - Everything looks very good here today. The babies seem to love the light and have turned their leaves upward to get as much of it as they can. Now that I am not over watering the coloring has become a deep green again with no trace of yellow except in a few of the cot's. I see a bit of new growth but mostly they all seem to be gathering energy right now and increasing leaf size all over. A big growth spurt is coming soon, I can just feel it! I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

Good luck and have a Merry Christmas:rastasmoke:

looking good looking good im here watching :thumbsup: :rasta:

Dec 25 (16 days) - Merry Christmas everyone! I am pleased to report that the growth spurt has started to happen. #1 is the big guy, but height wise, 2 and 3 have almost caught up with him. #4 is still the runt, but she is getting taller now too. Everyone is reaching up and gathering light and growing rapidly now. It is also helping a great deal now that I am not watering nearly as much... the soil feels pretty dry right now to me and I would have been hitting them with a couple of cups of water before I learned not to... but now my moisture indicator probe says there is still some water in there, and no signs of thirst in the babies.

As you all are aware, I am attempting to prove the early sexing theory that was brought to us by WashougalWonder (http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-...ml#post2068667). Using that work, we have identified #4 as a male and #1 (the runt) as female. 2 and 3 were a bit more difficult, but it was very tempting to label both of them early on as female although I went 50/50 on them and initially labeled them one of each. There were red indicators on the trunks on both of them though, and looking at this experiment some more, I am heading back to my original feelings about these two and thinking that they are both female.

What I have noticed is this. The male clearly shows green stalk... from the dirt level up to the top of the growth, nothing but green. Some of the petioles (the smaller leaf stalks) are red, but I think this is more genetics than an indicator of sex. The other 3, I am thinking that a key place to look is the main stalk, between the first true leaves and the first internode. In all 3 this little section of main stalk is all red. Could this be the indicator we are looking for? If so, I have 3 girls and a boy here. Time will tell.

Here are the pictures!

Our big boy #1... look at him go!

Number 2... catching up! Note the red stalk before the first internode

Number 3... right behind, and again the red section of main trunk

Be well everyone...
