hello newgrower / jadeius/ torog
its realy good to here from you again, yes i am a little better now thanks, i had another atack of celulitus in my right leg, and had to have a long spell of hard iv drugs to bring it under control a little, i still cant get about properly yet but i am doing ok,

in answer to your question ... i normaly let my plants get to about 8"/10" then wack them under 12+12 sometimes smaller if they look like there gonna strech, i dont normaly top my girls as i love the heavy tops, if you have 20 seeds to start your next grow then i am sure you will get enough girls from them, do you remember me saying in an email to you that you will proberly need to start cloning if you want to reproduce, i think your next grow could be a good oppotunity to start that, feminised seeds are good in the fact that you know that your gonna get a bunch of ladys from them, and thats fine.. however i have had a lot of trouble trying to get clones from feminised seeded plants. if you keep your best looking girl and cross it with your favourite boy, your gonna get a whole bunch of seeds that you know has come from nice parents that will alow you to plant more seeds next time to get more girls and they should be good for clones, it sounds like you have picked a real nice plant this time mate i recon at a guess you will end up with around 9 girls if they all germinate, if you keep your best girl from them it will be a great start for you. as for the boy you dont realy have to do much with them to keep them flowering after taking them away from 12+12 they just seem to wanna keep on sowing there oats so you would not need to build a special home just for your boy, just keep him away from the rest of your girls. ........ or they will get pregnant very easily. .

most of my plants have turned hermie on me, i was as sick as a pig to learn that they had gone like that, they were all just beginning to start there early fowering when i had to go into hospital, i knew that looking after them was gonna be a big prob so they were put into the garden and green house to keep them going but the change from 12+12 to about 16 hrs of light turned them hermie. i have had all the male gender pods carefully removed and they were all pruned back heavily. they seem to have rejouvinated well and are vegging out nicely so maybe all is not lost. i cant show the early gender pics i promised as i couldn't get to them . i will try to get some pics of them shortly. ....... peace ............. happy..
