Last night I gave them all a good mini-flush with ph 6.7/ 1 drop of st/gallon in, and to my astonishment, it came out at 6.7?! Good to know I guess. I am going to adjust and feed with 6.8 from here on out since it is already creeping downward. They will get the repot before flowering into 3 gallons, so that should help when the time comes.
Note too.
All my MK have cloneable shoots I think. I will be taking 2 from each. I am still waiting on the AIs, so far only 1 has cloneable shoots, the rest are all just branchless spears.
No preflowers on any yet, unless I am missing them. And I may be.
Oh, the lowryder is flowering, 2 out of the 3 were males, they are dead now. :D
Watered last night, 2 cups for each plant, just a very slight runoff, 2ml/gallon cal mag and 2ml/gallon pro grow. They were dry! Sucking up quite a bit of water now.
3 or 4 of my MK are females, the rest are males, and a few haven't shown.
None of my AI are showing, though a few have alternating nodes.
I got 2 clones from each of the MK, (yes the suspected males too, just in case I am wrong.)
They are charging now and I expect them to be fine. No AI clones, a couple could give me a couple, but I also ran out of Rapid Rooters!:D I will probably just try to reveg a mum from AI. Once I am 100% on sex of the MK, I will get rid of the males and pick a mom from the clones, then put the rest into flower with the originals, (whenever they are veg'd a little) This will kinda give me a second harvest here a little sooner. I don't know how long I will veg them, not long. So I guess I will be flowering no later than day 40 veg, but maybe sooner. I only took 2 clones from each MK, so they may be able to recover quickly. We'll see I guess, I don't know how to tell if they are recovered from the cloning? I would like to repot into 3 gallon pots prior to flowering within the next 15 days, would that push out time to flip them, I have never had a problem before transplanting, do they need recovery time after repotting?:wtf:
Ho hum...
Not much going on now. Just rotated them around tonight, looks like I will be watering again either tomorrow or saturday.
Got my clones just trying to root.
Question?
Do any of you re-pot after you start flowering? I would like to flip them as soon as possible, but I would also like them to really fill out there current pots and get repotted to 3 gallons. How far into flower have some of you repotted?
When I start 12/12 flowering, I transplant into the largest pot, that I am going to use...period. JUST as soon as the plants show me some sex. (preflowers). That can be as late as two weeks into flowering/12/12 cycle. IMO. No sense in transplanting males. Off with their heads...:thumbsup:Quote:

So you don't think it's too big a deal to flip them first, sex them, then transplant them? Surely if I get it done within 2 weeks of flipping them they will do just fine.
Hmm.
I am extremely worried about my AI's, so far none have shown any female pre-flowers, I hope I don't end up with 7 or 8 males out of those!:mad: Quite a few of them have what I think are male preflowers, but am not sure yet, whatever they are they are soooo small it's hard to tell. I am really just hoping for 8- 10 females out of the 20 beans so we will see what happens.
All signs of light stress seem to have subsided, since going to one on and one off. I am sure they are much happier!:)
it's the luck of the draw...on the sex of a seed....and I "don't cotton" to fem seeds.
grow you own seeds, soon. Then plant twice as many seeds. You have found out, it don't take much light for VEGGING.
That ain't no kidding!
Got myself a couple t12s to keep clones under, once they are rooted of course. Once I flip these to flower, and switch bulbs, I may not use those MHs again for a while. At least they are still in good shape I guess, and will be good backups in case of emergency.
All right. I am going to figure out the best on/off times for my schedule, get the bulbs swapped and get on with it.:) My lowryder will love it.
switch to HPS bulbs?...I assume.Quote:

HPS bulbs are a lot more forgiving, than MH bulbs...IMO....except, I prefer CMH bulbs...:)
