i see no mature preflowers yet. you can identify yourself. its easy. if you see balls with no antennae commin out then you got a male. but if you see a tear drop with 2 antennae comming out then you got a girl.
True dat. If you can't tell yet then it's just too early. You'll know.Quote:

I had three going but one didn't show sex until last week, it was a hermi and was killed!
However the other two are girls. I too am at two weeks of flower yesterday.
How dark is your dark? Are you letting it sleep near the TV? Or maybe have a red LED in a power strip near by?
Here is a pic from two days ago. As you can see ALL the "buds" are on the nodes of light exposed branches. Of the three plants I grew, NONE had or have (even now) any buds on the main stem.
noticed same thing that you have cut your fan leafs .....check up near the tops....but cutting your fans will hurt your yield in the long run!Quote:

I'm thinking the guy might want to veg a little more to get that leaf count up.
To the OP: The leaf is where the photosynthesis happens. When the plant is vegging under a blue tint bulb (like 6500K). The leaves produce Chlorophyll A, which is the building block of vegetation such as leaves, sticks and such.
When you go into flower and put the plants under red light (2100K). The leaves produce Chlorophyll B. Which is the building blocks of the flowers.
THUS, if the bud sites have no leaves, there is NO chlorophyll B, to make the buds. This MIGHT be why your having trouble getting it to flower. The bud factory is OUT of supplies! ;)
She showed her stuff today!!! I am using CFL's so I figured past the very first few sets of leaves she isnt getting much light anyway. But the very top nodes have some sweet looking hairs on em:rastasmoke:
6 weeks into flower pics. Now a question I had about it was that I do not know if this is an 8 week or 12 week strain, should I just start flushing and harvest at 8 or keep an eye on the calyxes and flush when they start to turn brown/orange?
More pics
:)...
very very nice lookin buda man keep up tha good work and pics lol
I know about the trichome color and all, but should I start flushing and hope that the trichomes will be right? If it needs longer than the 8 weeks can I just keep it in the low PPM water?
bump
I usually flush after most of the trichomes have become cloudy for indica dom. and when they're all cloudy for sativa dom.Quote:

I understand the part about the trichomes having to be properly matured. Flushing takes 2 weeks right? So based off that I have to time the end of the flush with then the trichomes will be ready. How to time it right is my true question, and also if I don't time it right do I just keep flushing until they are ready? I don't plan on using any flushing aids like flora kleen, just an extremely weak nutrient solution. Tapering down as time goes.
