HARD ON'S SOG ALTERNATIVE

[HARDDON]

Since I learned SOG is best done with clones, and NOT seedlings, I have resorted to bending the shit outta my plants and tieing them down.

I am now getting some secondary growth which will help my overall yeild, but I am just trying to salvage this grow so I at least get a few joints out of it

The main kolas are all fine and flowering well.

I sent the 4 weekest females outside to fend for themselves, so I have 10 plants now in flower.

ONE THE BRIGHT SIDE:

FINAL TOTALS:

Of 18 kept......

4 MALES
1 HERMIE
13 FEMALES

72% FEMALES!!!!!!!!

I suspect strongly 2 of the remaining 3 on my LST will be female and one male. If that holds up, I will have generated a 71% female to male ratio

Compelling evidence I hoped to find that stress free growing can influence female / male gender.

Of course I would need to redo this several times and generate the same results and then do some double blind placebo tests...but fuck all that shit.

I believe it to be true...so be it for HARD ON

Stress less seedling and early veg stage will generate more females by the end of the week 3

In my most humble opinion

So did the plants that had thrips turn male or female?

[HARDDON]

Now that you mention it, hermie.

[Marc Benson]

So where do you have the plant that's in the first photo? That isn't one of your LST girls is it?

[Rezinator]

"...placebo ...but fuck all that shit..", cracked me up good, H.

Just when I was thinking I'd opened a latewood thread or somethin'... no 'fence, late.

2 quik q's, H.

The bulbs are both HPS's, no?

and

In your pics I see what looks like styrofoam on the removed front panel. Was that by any chance a 3/4" insulation product from (the other, less infamous) HD(epot), and if so was it used for soundproofing; and if yes, then is it working out.

[HARDDON]

MB...she stands in the flower room as we speak. I found one more hermie this morning It was the really funky looking one from the very early days that had those trichs all over it. Hermie all the way.

---------------------------------------------

Rzn8r...

No one bulb is MH the other is HPS.

I covered the whole front door in styrofoam when I was building it. Yes it was from The Home Depot. (you can grow it....they can help )

I had no idea when building this box about the temps and what might happen if those bulbs blew up....I like sleeping at night so I fire proofed it with a layer of styrofoam then a thermal blanket.

I just never got around to thermal blanketing the bottom flower chamber as I figured it was safe once I learned a bit about what I was doing.

But initially, I had no idea and just wanted to build a completely isolated environment.

[HARDDON]

And now the SOG begins to show its canopy

One pic shows three plants.....i bent them way over and got the secondaries out to start flower. So the little fields will develope now.

By thinning out the males and hermies and a couple of weak females, I am able to keep light going to the bottoms thus preventing to some degree the loss of all the lower stuff.

But for now, it all focused on buds

So you can SOG from seedling....just be prepared to bend the shit outta them along the way.......to be continued....

Looking good HD,

im putting a smoke alarm over my flowering chamber ....just in case shit happens

i read (i dunno if its true or not) that if a female plant turns out to be a hermie, and it pollinates itself, all the seeds will be female...i know there is then a possibilty of genetic probs, but.... all female seeds

[HARDDON]

Nah.....

I would believe a hermie will have hermie seeds.

I hope to hell I am right and you are wrong cuz I have killed like 3 hermies.

If I could have got some good seeds being feminized and I been killing all the mothers, I need to have my ass kicked.

Any volunteers?

MB?????? Feel up to it?

Ya I could help you out. Just send me a plane ticket and I'll come down. But when ya see a 6'2" 250 pound powerlifter with a 50" chest and 20" arms with freckles walking off the plane though I don't want to hear any whimpering. Just take it like a man.

SOG is looking good HD. And you wanted to toss it in the garbage!
