SeedKing's 1st Grow Northenr Lights/ W Rhino

[SeedKing72]

1/4 of a teaspoon (not tablespoon), man that is a couple of drops.. Thats what it says on the bottle.. but who goes by what the bottle says for MJ seedlings.. Your advice is taken... They look good though.. going under the 400WATT MH in about 7 days..

Northern Lighs, White Rhino, and Bag seeds..

Yeah feminized would have been great, but I wanted to go through the pains of sexing them.. I HOPE, that I can get some clones from this.. once they are big enough to clone I am going to take 3 clones each of the best looking plant, regardless of sex.. once I know the sex.. Will cull out the clones, I plan on growing the clones in a different bedroom under another 400 watt light as mothers.. then I will clone those for the next grow..BUT THIS IS all subject to how this grows goes, I have some white widow seeds coming, so I have to work that in there somehow.. All the seeds I bought were for ease of GROW, They say a Cave man can grow Northern LIghts, The white widow and the White rhino I chose for THC content... THEY CLAIM 15-20% THC, but so did the NL.. so we will see...

If your going to go threw all that work of labelling for just a couple of weeks, if you ask me its not worth it.

Just wait the 2-3 extra weeks to determine sex and the decide the # of clones you are going to take from your garden given your F:M ratio.

Will this happen before they flower?

[Joel]

What do you mean will this happen before they flower??

Im talking about waiting an extra 2-3 weeks to determine the sex of your plants than trashing the males and cloning the females.

[SeedKing72]

I guess what I am asking is this? I wanted to take clones in VEG state before I force them into flowering.. Will I know their sex before I put them into 12/12. I was under the impression that you only wanted to take clones in VEG State, so I am wondering can you tell their sex in veg state... like a week or a couple of days before I go into Flowering 12/12.. Does that make sense..

[SeedKing72]

Yeah you were right! I looked at the insert that comes with the bottle and it says a few drops for a gallon for tender plants, I would assume that is week old seedlings.. No problem I can fix it, it doesnt look like they hurt it yet..HOPEFULLY!

Sometimes....sometimes.....a female will show pre flowers prior to flower season. Sometimes.

After 4 weeks, look for hair pistels at the nodes. They will wisp in the air from a flower pod.....but you cannot plan on it.

Take your clones, root them, then flower.....then you will know which mother plant to keep. Or which one to take more clones from

[SeedKing72]

Okay, well I cant complain my babies are growing with the exception of one who must be a runt, but perhaps the bitch will still do something.. so I still got 9 + 1 runt going... the goal is 4-5 females, so lets pray.. In a day or so I need to move the lights up an inch, 3-4 more days.. we will re-arrange the room and add the 400 Watt MH and try to add flourescent sideligh that doesnt block the MH, should have pics for that soon..

[SeedKing72]

Well may babies are still growing, I think they are alomst ready to go to the 400 Watt MH Lights, + start strengthening the nutes.. go with 1/2 teaspoon per gallon every water for a week or so (the bottles says 1 teaspoon for every water of Fox Farm Fertilizer Big Grow).. Saturday morning I will re-arrange the closet to hang the 400Watt MHS and somehow get the Florescents horizontal on the side of the plant.. Hopefully I can get them to bewteen 18-24 inches in 5 gallon buckets.. then we will talk about flowering.. seriously considering buying a 600WATT HPS for flowering.. Use my flors and the 400 for a different closet and to start to do SOG with the clones I get.. Got a Hydro kit coming also.. want to see if I can increase my yield with 2-3 hydros instead of 4-5 soils... Thats another thread for another time.
