First Indoor Grow - Flash Cobra and Short Stuff #1

[rattlingdags]

You can really see them starting to green up now They'll be away now, and more than likely will quickly make up for that hiccup.

The day after I post two week pics, I get my first sign of gender. This is unbelievable... The seedling is two weeks old, 1 1/4 inch tall, and has pollen sacks. They're only visible under high magnification but, they are definitely pollen sacks.

It's not a big deal. I want a male and expect to get more. But, I'm absolutely stunned to see definite sex determination at this stage.

Sacks are easily identifiable with the naked eye today. The camera I have access to only has auto-focus which does not function well on closeups. I put a magnifying glass in front of the camera to get this shot. It's blurry, but I think the sacks in the middle will be visible.

Sucks about the male.....but at least ya got it early. The rest looking good man. Keep of green

I bought regular seeds with the intention of generating seeds for future grows, since you can't really clone these. So, for me, it doesn't really suck. :thumbsup: In fact, this will be the male I grow out for pollen for this strain.

But, like I said, for it to sex at that stage of development, seems bizarre.

BTW, thanks for dropping by and I appreciate the kind words.

One more noob mistake made this an ordeal instead of a quick and easy transition. Seed trays are a bad plan, IMHO. But, it's finished, so it's all good. Next time... Rapid Rooters!

Here are a couple pics. The camera I am using (Kodak v803) will not focus on close shots.

I have one male for sure but none of the others have shown yet. All of them are very close. After I've culled the males I don't want, I'll try to post some better pics of the group.

The first pic is of all 14 plants immediately after re-pot. The second pic is my "angel" mutant. I know, I should have gone ahead and culled this one. But, my curiosity has gotten the better of me and, I want to see where this thing goes.

Here's one more pic... the young stud. I may be figuring this camera out. We'll see.

One thing to remember about Auto's (I have grown ...hmmm "a few" lol so this is from experience) Is they are VERY VERY VERY sensitive to Nukes. If they are yellowing or wilting or drying up then something with your Nutrition is off and they hate it. Its VERY easy to Nuke them so give 25% of what you give to a normal plant and they will be happy all the way to the 61 day.
I look forward to seeing the results, my best single Auto pull was 1.5Oz's I believe, so hopefully that Inspires lol....
Oh keep that Male ^^ Take one of your best looking females and breed them. That way you have a stabilized version of Regular seeds that will be Phenoms the next run. Plus you have a army and don't have to buy anymore XD...
No mother plants/Clones = Smarter ways of keeping a strain going lol...
Happy Growing!/One Love...

I do plan to pollenize both strains if I get a male and female from each.

With the damage and stress I put these plants through early, I'll be content if I get out of this with anything resembling a decent result.

I'm concerned about how these guys are going to react to their first taste of nutes via the FFOF I just re-potted them into. We'll see.

I'm leaving them under the fluoro's for a couple days to get over the stress from re-potting. Then, I turn up the HPS. So, they're going to be going through some changes. Wish me luck! :jointsmile:

The plants are definitely responding to being re-potted. Had a second Cobra male show... :chainsaw: R.I.P.
