Look Look! two plants on 12/12 from birth

Page 261 of the bible.

"Enviromental factors star influencing se the moment the seedling has 3 pairs of true leaves. Factor include but are not limited to:

-N and K levels. Increasing N makes more females. Lower N makes more males.Increase K increases the tendency for males;Lowering K level encourges female plants. A higher N level and lower K level in the first two weeks increases females.

-Temperature: Low temp increase the number of female plants. Warm temp makes more males.[I know this first hand having turned 9 plants into males]

-Humidity: High humidity iincreases the number of female plants. Low humidity increases male plants.

-Light Spectrum: More blue light incereases the number of female plants[MH]. More red light increases male tendencies[HPS].

-Photoperiod: Fewer hours of daylight(e.g. 14 hours) increases the number of females. Longer days (e.g. 18 hours) make roe male plants.[think of all those people on 24 days]

Stress: any enviromental stress tends to yeild more male plants when growing from seeds."


Sounds pretty consistent with what your saying bree

Well there you go! I think with my next seeds I am going to start them on 14/10 when they pop and after a few weeks go to 16/8 (or 18/6).....With the light on less the temps should be lower anyways....make them humid of course...see if I can get all females, eh? :jointsmile: Bree

Raspect & Peace B....
Been reading & following some of your grow ideas. Your INTERESTING!
What you think, Tamatoe seed in soil 2-1..sprouted 2-4..growing good
3" Tall..On 3rd set of leaves...all leaves 3" long..Been on 18-6...
Want to go to 12-12...Flower with 7 day into 12-12 older sister(i hope).
Only those 2 Tamatoe plants...not major grow...
LOVE, LEARN & Pass time for FUTURE!
Would you Use CFL Daylight bulbs or Warm bulbs, Or Both?
Update us on your infant 12-12....
PLANT a SEED....WATCH It GROW......SMOKE HerB.....
One Tamatoe PLANT.....LOTS of RASTA LOVE:rastasmoke: oneLove

OH crumb, I lost this thread and didn't see your post . Did you put them in flower yet? From what I've read, it is good to use a 2/3 ratio on warm/cool lighting in flower (3 being red 2 being blue).....But the majority of people just use red since that is where your girth and weight come from. I have a dual spec light that I'm fiddling around with trying to cool, so more experiments will be following...lol.... Meanwhile the infants need repotted and fed, they really have been ignored almost since birth and for some reason they seem to like it, lol....I'll update in the next few days after repot, they look a bit sad, and I'm a bit ashamed to let anyone see, HA HA!
Happy Tokin' and Growin' :jointsmile: Bree

I have found that with proper temps, light spectrum and 18/6 lighting and love, you can get 75% females by the end of 25-28 days...

Every single time.

Here are plants that were 40 days old... 4 outta 4 were females with my last grow which was last year.

Done properly, you only have to grow a batch about every 2-3 years to keep you up to your ears in personal stash killer smoke. Four really great plants will keep you stoned for 2 - 3 years.

so anymore pics of your 12/12 grow and what yield are you going to get?

[KL4D4]

I wonder cause technically my temps were low with all blue lights and got a female...

[aonymity]

so whats everyone sayin that higher temps produce female? im knida lost/stoned here...sorry

[Bree1978]

I don't have pics, they need repotted, almost dead! I'm not going to really yield anything from them because they have never been repotted and they are already flowering. They never had a fan, and until a week ago they only had 15w of light on them. Yes, I'm repotting them today, although I doubt It'll do much good unless I revert them back to veg.... and aonymity and KL4D4, no the temps are supposed to be lower to produce females.
The color mix has nothing to do with producing females as far as I know either, sorry if I was misunderstood.

How do you store your dried buds? I would think 2 year old bud would be dry as hell and burn way too quickly. do you use a humidor or something like that?

[mobay]

primus you can store the dried buds in mason jars. like the jars grandma has in the cupboards, just store them the same way. mason jars are air tight, to keep the buds like that for years, if it last that long lol.
