FOXBIRD'S First Official Grow

[Trivium]

You might have some males on your case, shitty buzz mate.

Hope you still get what you're aiming for.

yeah 15 hours later and they are growing bigger balls i think. gunna givem another 4-5 days to be sure. as im not too good at sexing them. bout 95% sure though. Anyways i made some cloners that i hope will work. only have 3 ports so ill double up on it and put 2 clones in each.i wanna just fill the whole tup with hydro and the net pots also then just plunk the clones in there.fill the water about a half inch with a air stone oxidizing..

Was thinking of using perlight, but that could get messy. also read about sand, but it being to fine it would just fall outta the net pots. and i dont have any of those plugs.
Maybe someone can recommend a common house hold item i can use to make a plug that wont comprimise the clones health

[FOXBIRD]

Home-made and simple, tell me what you think. now, i should not let the clones touch the water. correct? and i can use a very mild gh part 3 mix?

And i also have cloning gel. I do not have any ANTI-WILT solution. Is Diamond necture from GH a good substitute?

[Trivium]

Hey fox, I do believe you should be placing the stem into water.

Now giving the wilt, Im pretty sure zandor has a thread some where on the site of how to mix an anti-wilt solution, I could be wrong though:stoned:

[FOXBIRD]

in the FAQ section "CLONING 101" ZANDOR HAS A SPRAY SYSTEM SET UP, BUT ITS ALSO LIKE A FOOT DEEP. sorry for the caps. my cloner is only gunna be 4 inches deep and the water like 1 inch high and the tip of the stem will be 1 inch above the water. I will have airstones keeping it oxidized and splashing water up to the root site. it will be pretty humid in there, and i think the roof will be kept pretty wet. no?

But if i have to submerge the roots in the water then i will.

Any ways here are some more pics of what i percieve to be nut sacks. and the last pic is of the female. hairs arent too good.

SPERM SACKS SUCK!!!

[Trivium]

Hey fox, yah I guess I am used to soil cloning, I myself am not a hydro guy. Maybe in the future haha.


Anyways, its time to trash those males ya figure??

[The White Snoop]

Submerge the stem to be safe..Don't wanna wake up w/ a batch of dryed out clones.

[FOXBIRD]

I'ts just not fair. I dont wanna kill my babies. Who have been evily tricking me for the last 6 weeks. but alas. i will kill them in at least 2 days. i am still kinda curious as to the look of a male plant, would like to know what to expect in the future, incase i ever wanna grow seeds. just curious. thx Triv

Snoop. thx for the verification on the water submerge. wasnt sure on that.

[elcheapo]

If you are going to grow for seeds at any stage then check out the faqs. There is a helpful guide for creating feminized seeds.

Be careful with the males. The pre-flowers can open very quickly.

Hey foxbird, always here to help.

Ya know you never want to throw away a good MJ plant, even if its male, but once you get them females you wont think twice about ditching the male. Unless of course you want to breed.

Anyway if you want to look more into breeding here's the link in the FAQ, it does show the difference between male and female. Males have tiny pollen sacs, minimum ammount at first but many towards the end of the plants life, females have tiny white pistons wich later turn into resin glands if not polinated.
