Floro cabinet grow in week 5

[jtsik330]

Your girls look great. If your going to prune I would do it now but honestly since it is a bagseed I would just let it grow. I've hadn't had alot of luck with bagseeds in the past so now I try and be gentle. Some seeds thrive in anything. Next grow try giving the ladies 48 hours of total darkness, they tend to show signs of sex a few days quicker. Good luck during flower:jointsmile:

i think the bigger plant is a female!!! here is a pic of why i think so. im pretty excited about this fact!!

I spy with my little eye, two little "white hairs."

:thumbsup:

ya woke them up yesterday and fed them the bloom nutes (15-30-15) and bam bout 8 hours into the light cycle i noticed those hairs. almost went blind looking for them, but i found'em... this was the first bloom feeding. :thumbsup:

im considering culling the shorter one if i dont see any signs of sex by monday night, as i said b4 it wasnt the strongest plant from the start. i also made the mistake of putting it in the 5 gal pot too early. IMO it wasnt ready. i know this because the soil isnt drying out. i skipped the mid week watering this week and it was still moist about 5 inches down in the pot when i fed last night. Im also thinking i can position the lighting better around the healthier one to max out bud production.

these are my first real flowers on a plant that has been able to go through a decent veg cycle. next time i plan to go with some Fem seeds, so i can be sure not to waste time with my limited growing area. i may even go auto flower if i see something i like. thanks for the vote of confiednce jay... like i said i hope my plant looks 1/2 as nice as yours.

take clones from the bottom of your lady. It will cancel out the "needing fem seeds" aspect that was killing me before I couldn't clone. Don't give up hope on the little one. Practice cloning on her. Try getting her back outta the bucket and add perlite or stones to increase drainage. I hate to see a girl wastedGood luck on the rest of the grow it heathly girl looks great!

more pics... so i havent seen much on the branches as far as pistils goes here are a few pics of whats going on this morning.

so i ended up culling the shorter one chances are i went too crazy with the trimming along with repotting it too soon. i was running out of room for the strong plant that i knew was female she seemes to fit nicer in her new space. still 50/50 on if i should to start the veg again and use her as a mother or just go forward and compleate a life cycle and say ive actually got one done. id have to make a separate spot for flowering too and im a little constricted for space so while i may only get 1 plant this time next time i plan on knowing the genetics of my plant b4 i grow it. and will probably be better funded to produce a flowering area.

So she now stands approx 22 inches in hieght. I have about 20 inches of vertical grow space left. suggestions for some LST techniques that would be applicable for my space would be appreciated. Also if i top her will that slow the vertical growth much? is it too late to use the scrog method? basically any suggestions on maybe keeping this puppy from growing out the roof of my cabinet would be nice. anyways hers a pic of the changes i made today.

looks good man. just my opinion, i would take a cut off the top so that you will be able to continue another cycle. cause who knows, you might end up liking the way this plant effects you, even know you dont know its genetics. and if you take one off the top it will phocus the energy into the other 4 main branches, keeping it from getting so tall. not having much space does suck, but losing a strain that you may end up liking, sucks even more. good luck man!

wurd, agreed... it seems to grow nice as well. i do have twenty more seeds from this strain. once it really buds out im hoping to maybe get some guesses on what it is. when ever i got it from my connect it always had like 10 - 15 seeds per ounce and it was still dank... this would be my first time smoking it sensi though. i saved the healier seeds near the end. it would have been nice if i had saved some pollen from my last batch and pollenated one of these buds. but alas i failed there. maybe next time. also i t would be nice if i could get my hands on some strong pollen, but i hear a good male is hard to come by and that people dont give it up that easy.

i think im just going to flower this one so i can get a comfort level with the flowering. Im not the most expierienced grower so i dont want to ruin the one plant i have by chopping her up too much. also id like to determine how much i can expect to harvest from a plant of this strain. thanks for the advice though man besides i dont have any place to put a cloning set up right now. i will consider topping her just want to wait for a few more people to wiegh in on it b4 i just go snipping her to shreds.


also this morning im starting to notice lots of buds forming on the outer shoots and a few clusters on the main shoot... bout 5 or 6 more weeks til harvest hopefully. this maybe the most fun ive had since i fired an AT-4 rocket launcher in basic training!!! seriously im having a great time growing, it seems to be something ill be doing for a long time god willing. These are my baby steps right now. So while i may not have the best growing operation im having a great time with what i got.
