Hey Yab, sorry its been awhile since I saw your stuff but I must say it is looking good. Sorry to hear about the burn again, hope it didn't effect the plant to severly. A good way to see what sex your plants are is to get a 30x magnifying lens and look for the usual signs. If you don't know what to look for the internet has some pretty good magnified images of early preflowers. Quick question, what, if any, type of fertilizer will you be using during flowering and if so what is the N-P-K value? Another thing, add sugar to your water regime during flowering. It helps improve bud growth and development for larger yeilds.

Happy Toking :rasta:

Thanks kush, the burn kinda stressed that plant (not the one in the pic)
it went droopy on me after the top of one of the branches got toasted.
I hope it recovers but its not looking all that great it lost its luster and
bushiness the leafs are all sagging.

I had some kinda microscope a long time ago that was perfect for spotting
the sex organs on plants but lost it I'll have to get another one for future
grows. It was cool you could detach the microscope part.

Im switching to 15-30-15 and picking up some bone meal for flowering.
I usually add corn syrup to my flowering plants, would just pure
granulated sugar be better?

Thanks orange, that's the plant out of the two I have that I
really want to be female. Its been a stinky little plant the whole
veg. cycle.

I just use regular granulated sugar from Wal-Mart. As for bone meal, I have never put it in a water mix. It is usually put in with the soil. It isn't supposed to be added to your watering regime but is supposed to be a additive for your soil. As for the corn syrup, I have never used it but I could test it out one of these days and see if it makes any difference.

Cool I'll try the straight up sugar this go around. The bone meal yeah its
a soil amendment I put a small layer on the dirt and mix it into the top
layer of soil. I always use it on my outdoor plants (not this year though )
and they seem to love it. I been wanting to give rock phosphate a try
and see how it would work out compared to bone meal. If that one
plant don't croak on me I might use R.P. on it and bone meal on the
other and see if there is any difference. I think both have simuliar
guaranteed analyisises.

I was looking back over the thread and I am curious to know how much more head room you have left in you grow space. You could do a 90 degree LST now so you will have more cola growth. Actually, it might be better to wait until the plants have shown sex then LST them. That should help maximize your available space.

Yeah, i am going to have to do something they have only about a
foot of space left to grow upwards. I will defiantly have to wait till
they sex because after tying them down they will be growing into
each other.

That one plant has started to come back around but lost a shit load
of leafs. It looks a bit naked now LOL here is a pic of it now you should
have seen it two days ago the whole plant drooped over and all the
leafs were hanging down like a weeping willow. I gave it some calcium
and epsom salt don't know if that helped but I knew it wouldnt hurt it.

Yep it looks a bit naked now.....LOL

[yabatab]

Oh yeah here it is after the light burn while it was still all drooped over.
I already had an epitaph ready for this plant but it was a fighter..LOL
