I have a very strange and wonderful thing going on. I have put about 16 plants into my flowering room. And out of the 16, 15 where females and only one male. The strains are big bud, b52, and white rhino. You think I'm just getting lucky or is it something in the environment.:thumbsup:
you got my share of the bitches
low stress, feminized seeds, and possibly the strain
depends were they F1's or feminized? could be just pure luck which is good

The seeds where nirvana and buydutchseeds.com seeds and just normal seeds. So it must be just luck, I'll know for sure when the 20 plants I have in veg get ready for flowering. If the same thing happens I'll never move out of this condo. lol
Are you using SuperThrive?
Adieu
tell me more... :)
any pics?
No I started buy putting the seeds in water untill the white thing poped out. I then planted them in 8" pots and put under 12 40w fl tubs untill they got about 12" tall. Then I put them on 12/12. I used MG soil, and MG plant food. The veg room is a walk in closet and the flowering room is a 4x4x5 cabnit.
Excellent choice.Quote:

[attachment=o82482]I think buy the time they where 21 days they where allready in 12/12. here is a pic
Well dryst feminized has nothing to do with it, low stress probably does and the right growing conditions and care also has something to do with it. Dont consider your self lucky. Your plants just loved you and gave back what it felt you wanted :D.
Well I do babby my plants, I'm a self enployed contractor so I make my hours around what I need to do for my plants. So I guess they do love me.
Those plants in the back seem to be stretching...how tall are they? :)
Looking good...nice stroke of luck! The drug gods are smiling upon you. :smokin:
Yeah thoes plant in the back are older but they are streching. 2 are about 3ft and one is 4ft and it won't stop growing. It grew 2" last night right into the light and 2 more today. If it doesn't stop it's going to be out of the room.

Also be sure to make sure that the plants are not males in disguise. Of course, that depends on how long they have been in 12/12. Now, a couple of questions; 1) Is this a pure flouro grow? 2) If so, do you have any warm flouros to help with flowering? 3) A small tip, add sugar to your watering in flowering cause it helps buds grow and get bigger. 4) oh, and stop using that MG fertilezer during flowering. 5) again, what type of MG fert was it as well?
Happy Toking :rasta:
dutch,plants will show their sex if you veg them long enough,some strains will show earlier than others,sativas will usually take longer to show than indicas
i dunno bout luck if thats the case then im an unlucky fucker i had 10 growing so far i can tell that 8 are male already ( mango/nirvana, and jock horror-kc brains
:mad:
i jus got some feminised cinnamon started:thumbsup:
Yeah its a pure flouro grow but I did order a 1000w hps light. I also stoped using MG plant food. I know use the same stuff that I bought for my hydro system which is foxfarms big bloom. Yes I do have warm flouros for flowering, but hopefully my hps light will get here soon. I also switch to promix for soil, for the 20 plant that I have in veg right now.
That some luck man, I don't think I can handle that many females :p . I hope you can :thumbsup: ...Quote:
