Jerry Garcia's Blue Widow, Blue Apollo, and Mystery Seed From Start to Finish

[Shovelhandle]

I sexed my plants tonight and I have 10 CONFIRMED yes 10!!! females and possibly 2 more out of 15!!!!!

What the fuck am I going to do, I have never grown more than 9 in my box and these plants are already 20'' to 28'' tall at 4 days into flower so I fully expect them to top out at over 40'' to maybe over 50''.

I do have cloans going of all of them so I have 3 choices

Grow them out some how!! I don't think I can fit 12 - 5 gallon buckets in a 4'x4' space. So this will mean coming up with smaller buckets. and very cramped grow space.

Or commit "HEMPISIDE" and keep only 9 that look like they will produce the most bud.

Or if I get the balls up! put them outside and hope for the best. this makes the most sense, but makes me very nervous and paranoid when I visit them and transport them.

So I am going to leave it up to you to help me decide on what to do

Leave your input or any other ideas you have to help me out of this situation.

You saw my last grow, same thing happened. I had 12 seeds, all females and it was crowded but it worked out. I had them in a 30" x 50" space.

Thanks Shov.

Well I have come to the same decision. They are all going to remain in the box for now. I am going to somehow fit 12 - 5 gallon buckets in there and cut off most of the smaller branches from the LST that I normally let grow. In my last grows I never did this because I feel if it is going to produce a smokable bud I am going to let it grow. This was OK the last grows because there was enough space for them to get light and mature.

Now with the growth of these plants in high gear and I am beginning to see what the final looks of the plants and main colas are going to be like. So for the sake of space and I would rather get say 16 more main colas out of this grow, than an out of control grow for a couple more ounces of smokable bud. So I am going to trim these plants of the smaller branches this time around and see what happens.

Wish me luck and we will all see what happens as time goes on.

I hope they stop going up soon.

JG, those BA's are consistent as heck, eh? That's a nice strain indeed resulting in dang near identical sisters, and your green thumb isn't hurting things at all. Nice to see you are going to keep them all. 1 of my bagbeans ended up male, and I have him in my bathroom, as I find it hard to even kill off a male. I don't think I could kill off a female.

Keep fightin' the good fight, my friend!

I am looking forward to some updates soon, im pretty interested in those strains.

I am currently finishing up a wonderful vacation in British Columbia, Canada

This is one of the most beautiful areas in North America and I don't want to leave but I guess I need to get home to my babies and see how they are doing.

I should have an update tomorrow or Monday.

i just wanna know with all your expertise, why you arent using mylar.
i think if you lined the walls with mylar you would have been able to keep the smaller branches becuase the light would have been reflected into under the canopy.
i had a 4x3x4 space with 9 babies and lined the complete room with mylar and every branch had beautiful nuggets regardless of the actual direct lighting. they say that reflected light from a 1000watt light is like an additional 400w for free.....

just some food for though.

I am back from 8 days vacation and my babies are a little thirsty but grew insanely tall. Most have crowned out so the stretch phase is over I hope, 2 have already out grown the highest light level of the box. Well I am only going to give heights tonight since it is LATE AND I AM TIRED.
