3 of a kind.. but what kind?

[crippynights]

These three are about a month and two weeks old, my first.. Found some seeds long forgotten in a drawer and decided to put em in a pot. Three sprouted and well here I am. The first one looks like a mix of the second two plants. Its been real windy here in south florida lately so they love it when i water them, practically every day. They "perk" up when they drink so I know they are thirsty. Funny to see how fast these things grow, but not fast enough. :jointsmile: And I dont plan on altering light cycles so I gotta wait. Two of the three have lil white hairs, and the middle one is just starting to form them, pre-flowering?

Tips? Opinions?

Nice branch growth, but that Florida sun shine im sure is responsible for that. And i can see the same traits in the second two. Do you use the white rocks to keep the sun from taking all your water? Nice an healthy looking. :thumbsup:

I don't know if you're asking what variety they are, but that's fairly impossible to tell. Beautiful plants though. A sativa, indica mix, more indica than anything. And if they're all female that's some kinda luck. Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

Some Hi-Res Pix.

Pic 11 is the first plant. Little white hairs...

Aren't you supposed to be preening off some of the branches? I am curious if you did it...and which ones do you preen???

I have noticed now more pronounced pre-flowering in the third plant. The middle one still has no pistils, but has staminate primordia, leading me to beleave they are males. But females pre-flowering before males? I thought it was the other way around. Maybe it will produce pistils. Im gonna make sure before I get rid of it(Took some pix with red arrows.).

Some vegetative growth observations:

* They grow fast! Especially with lots of summer sun, and daily watering. (They are in drain pots and it hasnt rained much where I am. Lots and lots of sun though.)

* Over-fertilizing is a big problem. If you have backyard soil that isnt filled with bugs works fine. In a month in a half i think i only fertilized twice with water soluble vigoro plant food. (The kind that can be used for vegetables.) They dont like to be overfed!! If your leaves are light green or turning brown, then fertilize. If they do that anyways then your over feeding. If ur leaftips burn or brown, and they are not too close to the lights, or it might only happen in the bottom and middle half of the plant, then your overfeeding. Rain water, tap water, and distilled water will help drain your soil of all those nuts.!!

* If your leaves droop, then water. If they dont perk up in half an hour, then your over watering. Make sure your soil doesnt dry up too much. It will impede growth.

*Keep mites under control by sprayin under the leaves. Outdoor growing without bugs is practically impossible. But the simple act of spraying under the leaves and blasting away pests is very effective. I havent used any pesticide because of chemicals. No matter how natural or safe. If i can have almost the same effect by simply spraying water under the leaves, im going to do that instead. Daily monitoring for catepillars, insects, and bugs. I spray every couple of days, or when i see lil holes in the leaves.

No im not going to prune. I dont know why people start taking of branches and leaves. The only ones i took of are at the very bottom. Because they were either deseased or full of holes. Leaves absorb sunlight. More sunlight, more energy.

dont prune your plants ppl who prune there plants are mostly indoor growers cuz some of the lights like cfl's the light does not have deep penetration and does not get to the other leaves so they prune it so it will get better light and stuff but outdoor growing you dont have to worry about doing that the sun is better than any grow light you can buy

oh and crippy your girls are looking nice
