Thats not good at all, what makes you say that? They were feminized seeds?

I've 2 AK48 and 2 Big Blue outdoors in pots, put them outside about the same time as yours, they're doing pretty well and I can tell they're female without maginification now, but only just. Not actually at 12hrs natural darkness until around the 26th in south England. Nothing in the pics to indicate the sex that I can see!

Looking forward to seeing how this goes, looking good so far

Cheers Northwest, Puts my mind at ease a bit, im gonna pop down and check em out in a bit, it was too dark last time to tell, will get some pics up when i get back..

Do you have a diary going?

EZ Bro..

The photo of the two plants makes me think that? The branches look even not staggered (?) Big shade leaves?
I`m probably wrong?
Hopefully !
Will keep posted..cheers

Well just got back, couldnt get down any earlier, so it was getting darrk again so it was hard to tell!, Gonna have to give at a few days till i can get down during the day

Took some snaps anyway, what do you think. no sign of any balls i dont think?

First up the cheese now up to my chin, so just over 5ft.. sideways pic, you know how i do!!

Rhino and cheese

cheese up close

rhino up close, possible white hairs and bud?

rhino from afar.. about 3.5 foot max

and last one, of the cheese agin, nice thick stem now, smells lovely up very close too..

If you open the pics up in windows picture viewer, next to zoom is a rotate button :]

And nice plants :]

That looks male to me as well mate...

Still only time will tell, they both look super healthy anyways, that supposed rhino is one fat indica

I know , No matter what i do the pictures come out sideways!, Tried rotating but makes no diff for some reason..bloody annoying!!

So, you think they may be male too, that is bleak to say the least, any idea how long till ill be able to tell? I did look for balls but couldnt see any?

Hi peeps, Just a quick Q,

IF these do all turn out male, Do i have any rights in regards to refunds for the seeds, as they were sold as "Feminized"?

TBH im more pissed about the time ive spent and the money on other materials, fencinc, compost, nutrients etc and the fact ill have to wait almost a whole year to have another go!

Im still totally confused, surely Feminized seeds = female plants?

Cheers for the help lads..

Youve brought Arjens hacks so dont be suprised...

get some better pics up mate and bend the plant to get a side good shot of the nodes. Use the Macro setting on your camera (read instructions).

Will be popping down there during the day on wednesday, so ill report back with some close up snaps, Fingers crossed!!

Thanks AA

If only one of the two turn out male, will it be too late to kill it before it pollinates the other? If they are both male, they have no use right?

that looks like a girl to me.

Cheers Punk, I have everything crossed that at least one of them is female, From everything i've learnt/read so far (not much admittedly)i thought they looked more female than male, But then i am a noob still so i wont be discounting anyones opinions until i get more conclusive photos..

Thanks again fella and everyone else who has helped me so far!!

Mucho gracias..

leeroy ,we all learn every year that what makes this site work.
this year for me its no more bag seed grows,although mine to be fair are looking great.

I would be very suprised if that White Rhino is not a girl. I think on your next visit you will be able to confirm this. Good Luck.

Sorry about double post.

i work in a headshop andi would MAYBE give you a litttle discount on next seeds dependent on how friendly and sincere u were..but cos its sold as a souvineir ,the shop has no liability,it is illegal to cultivate in the uk and you are a very naughty boy!

Thanks again Punk, I sure have learnt loads in my short career so far ha ha... im aiming for bigger and hopefully better next yr, goona get my plot prep done early doors and get any future seeds out in the woods no later than May 1st..




I hope thats the case! Its still quite short (3.5ft) compared to the cheese that has grown about an inch a day! The cheese was the one i really wanted to be female just coz i prefer tat to smoke, but hey ho, id still be v happy if i got ANYTHING

Cheers Kaiser



I thpught as much, its a prety good get out clause for the companies selling them tho aint it? Which shop do you work in if you dont mind? And can you suggest some Uk Friendly seeds?
I was gonna go for 5 x 4 strains all fem for next yr

So far on the shprtlist are: Cheese (again) , WWidow, Nlights, Dpassion

Cheers SF70

Peace guys

So....

I think for once my luck is in (I may well be wrong tho!)

First up, the two that i have written off in terms of producing any bud, The lemon and the trainwreck, its been well over a week since i last visited and i must say for once i was pleasantly suprised by thier growth, There are no signs of flowering or pre-flowering on these two but they have certainly bushed out a bit, prob about 3- 3.5 ft id say..

Lemon on the left TWreck on the right..

Now for the moment of truth...

Plot 2 - the Rhino and cheese, these two have grown a massive amount recently, the cheese is now up to my nose! so prob about 5.5 foot, the rhino is still much shorter but has bushed out loads, When i rub the stem, the smell is lovely! Talking of stems, they are both really thick now!

Anyway Here they are in all their glory

Now for the interesting bit, Not sure if this pic is th rhino or cheese ? either way it looks good

Def Rhino macro

3 more rhino macros...

Now for the cheese, which has white hairs sprouting from almost evry node?

No sign of any balls as far as i could see...!

So what do ya reckon lads?

Weather has been perfect for it too, Also I have only fed them nutes once about a month ago, Westlands nutes they were , not sure of the specs, Is it too late for me to feed them any more nutes? Would it make any difference at this late stage?

Peace

Very Nice Pics there. Looks like you got your wish on the Cheese she is a girl for sure. Good luck hope it comes good for you.

all the macro snaps are deffo ladies,they look good.

Kaiser cheers fella, that's exactly what I wanted to hear!! Nice one mate, hopefully they go all the way...!



Thanks Punk,

I do wonder why the rhino is so short still tho, not that it really matters - anything is a bonus this year.

If only I hadn't of planted them so close aswell, ive had to bend them both away from each other slighly.

Thanks again

Ez

12 days on since last visit..

All looking good so far i think, the weather has been stunning the last week or so, meant to be sunny still till at least wednesday maybe thursday this week, then it will rain!

Still a bit worried that they just wont have enough nice weather left to see them thru?

They have both stopped growing in height i think, the Cheese is exactly 6 foot and the rhino prob about 3-3.5ft max but much bushier than the cheese..The cheese has loads of little bud spots emerging, but the top bud seems to have really bent over for some reason? (Check pics)

The rhino is much shorter and appears to have 3 main bud sites, with a few underneath the really thick fan leaves!

Cheese sideways pic , im using a mac and preview to resize the photos and it is not saved like this..

bent top bud on cheese?

cheese top

Rhino and cheese together

Sorry again for the sideways pics, gonna sort out a diff programme to use..

Anyway, the rhino bud up close..

Any advice/comments appreciated! Will they make it before the weather totally draws in?

Here is the cheese, looking really purple?

hey leeroy great looking plants & love the pic of the cheesey purple head sweet colour to it , ya can almost smell the bud on it !!
Here's to hoping ya get to smoke that fine ladie.

If its any help mine been flower about 6 weeks and I think another week or possibly two weeks to harvest.
That cheese been in flower for 2 -3 weeks? so may be another 3 to 4 weeks at a guess.

damn they look in fine nick compared to my torn-leafed,bug -raped specimens.those plants will not be done to finish though,let alone in a few weeks imo. they would have to be out till middle of november.i have some big bang outdoors and they are only 2 wks into bud, much like yours.i couldn't pull them for another 5 wks at least, and remember cheese takes longer.10wks indoors.just be prepared to take em down not fully ripened,cos it won't happen before they rot
good luck

Totally agree with `chaosmonger` at least another 5-6 weeks to go.. All female too ! Looking good mate..

Cheers Pickels, Yeah its been in flower for about 2 weeks now, It doesn't smell from a distance yet, but when i rub the stem, the smell is sooo nice, smells like sweets! Really lovely smoke so i hope i get something off it, the purple tint looks lovely! is that a sign of low temps at night?





Thanks Chaos, I really have found a decent plot with this one, seem to get plenty of sun and have almost no insect problems! The nettles there where up to 8-9ft tall so i suppose thats a good indicator?

A couple of newb questions, IF i left them out till finish , Would they actually finish? How early is just too early to chop and what can i expect to yield off these two plants as an estimate if i were to chop last days of OCtober??

peace mate




EZ Newbow , probably gonna chop early in 4-5 weeks maybe longer depending on the weather.. not sure what the long term forecast is?

Thanks chaps!

If it`s going to snow or get below 12 degress for a week or so, I`d leave them as long as possible..

Just been looking at the forecast for the next 14 days, weather drops to about 4 deg at its lowest at night for a couple of days, looks like a mixture of rain, sun and cloudy days though!

Hoping to leave em out for at least another 5 weeks which will be first week of nov.. meaning about 7 weeks of flowering

The packet says :

indoor flowering 8-9 weeks

outdoor flowering ready mid october

800 grams per plant is this sort of yield possible in the UK outdoors? per plant?

i'd say no,the seed company's like to put a spin on their product,maybe a heavily vegged indica cut would.

Easy for me to say but I`d let them LIVE !
If you can check them after the really cold day and see there ok?
Hang in there..
You`ll really notice the difference..
Good luck mate

Would be awesome if you could yield that from one plant!



Gonna let them live as long as possible, what sort of temps should i be looking for before i think about chopping?

also is it worth feeding them anything now? Ive only fed them with fish blood and bone and westlands slow release plant feed, not sure of the exact specs for the nutes..

Blood and bone should be fine. Maybe you could try seedweed fertilizer ? I found it good.. Anyway what your using should be enough nutes ..
Temp wise I`d be mainly worried about frost? Not knowing the area/forecasts/etc..
I think your on to all worries, cheers

Cheers mate, they seem to be doing alright so far, as you say its just the weather ive got to worry about now!

p.s Im in the south east - gonna see if i can find some long term forecasts!
