New Bag-seed Grow

Looks like you have plenty of room, and you definitely have plenty of light, so considering the size of your 5 tough survivors (not all that big yet), I'd say wait on the White Rhinos and let those survivors get bigger. Unless you're out of pot, in which case, I'd probably flower immediately. But that's just me; I hate being without pot. ;)

Looks very nice, btw! And that thing you thought might be the ball of a male - just looks like a calyx to me, not necessarily a male, just an indicator that that plant is sexually mature now and could be flowered anytime. It still could be a male though. That's another advantage to waiting on the Rhinos to arrive too - if you're patient, the preflowers should eventually spit out hairs or bananas, and then you'll know, without force flowering or flowering just one branch or flowering clones or whatever. I usually just wait until the preflowers tell me the sex, personally, as I am more lazy than I am impatient. ;)

Thats the thing, the plant had already shown white hairs out of the little pre-flowers elsewhere on the plant, but the balls didn't look anything like the other pre-flowers. I'm not sure though, we pulled them off and haven't spotted anymore yet, but more female pre-flowers. Check back in about 6 hours, I'll have new pics :D

Goddamn. They've only been under that light since sunday and I can see a big difference in growth. Plus, my friend decided to tie them all down so I'd quit bitching. :D Oh yeah, that one that started out as the biggest with the dark ass leaves that are fatter and more indica dominant showed sex.....FEMALE:D That makes 3 out of 3 that showed female so far w00t. I'm convinced that sloth is a girl, no more balls, think I was tripping. Anyway, pics as promised:

Pic 1: Leaf from the ex-runt that is now the biggest. Fan leaves are getting big.

Pic 2: Pic of the top from that ex-runt that has bent back toward the light after only being tied like 2 or 3 days now.

Pic 3: Just look at the difference.

Pic 4: Close up of the one I topped. Zoom in fullscreen you can see the dead center stem where I cut, and the two new tops :) My friend is bitching that I should have FIM'ed it, but I was lit when I tried and fucked it up.

Pic 5: Full screen this. This is the first female pre-flower on that big indica dominant plant from "blueberry midgrade" bagseed. I found out that the lens of the digital camera I use is the exact same diameter as the lens of the 3 lens magnifying glass from radio shack....and the camera takes damn good pics.

Both pics here were taken through the magnifying glass, view them fullscreen as well. One pic is from sloth one is from the other little one. I need to name them all since we don't know strains so I can keep track of which is which.

Plants looking good keep it up. Look foward to seein what type of buds they produce. Also keep me posted on your order for Dr. Chronic I like to know how that truns out as well. Happy Growin.

Now that I can see the plants better, definitely let them grow some more. Your light is great, but you won't use its full potential on smallish plants like that, so I'd let 'em grow some more. Might as well maximize the yield you get for the electricity you're gonna be using! I dunno if you sell anything (not really any of my business whether you do or not), but if that's for personal use, you're gonna be set for a long time when those ladies are done. ;)

Careful you do not over feed your plants.. it appears you are reaching a critical point.. those leaves are DARK GREEN!!!

Do you have any brown burnt tips?

cheers

thanks for the pictures!!

Jamstigator: Yeah, the final verdict is to let the rhinos catch up if the seeds ever come here. We should have at least 3 giant shrubs by then if all else fails :D And nope, not for sale lol, just split 50/50 with my co-grower, but that should still be a grip :stoned:

GK: We're still feeding about a little over 1/4 strength grow big & big bloom (big bloom isn't a flowering fertilizer, its a whole cycle supplement) every other watering (once a week) right now. And the only one with really dark ass leaves is that last one who just showed sex (that "blueberry midgrade"). Its leaves have been dark since before we started feeding, I think its just genetics. All the leaf burns on the plants so far are really from them touching CFLs I'm pretty sure, but thanks for the heads up we'll keep an eye on 'em.


More pics soon, stay tuned :rasta:

Man, I cut the shit out of my finger trying to do some LST'ing. I was boring a hole in the lip of a pot with my pocket knife that has a locking blade. Somehow the blade came unlocked and my finger closed into it (pics).

Moved the light closer, they are getting water tomorrow, did some more LST'ing and re-arranging of leaves/tops without tying (i used the plants other stems to hold them in place) I can actually see a difference from thursday. Plants are really starting to stink too.

Kittah loves the leaves that fall off or get removed. She's learned not to touch them while they're on the plant though. That ends in an ass-whipping every time.

hey there anathema.. very nice grow you have goin .. thought i would check it out.. make sur no1 steals ur plants this time;).. love your cat by the way.. shes the star of the show
