Shumroom Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Yes when potting up each time, it's a good idea allowing them to dry out a little in between feeding, this will encourage the roots to fill each new sized container Then once more rooted out you can feed as often as you like.

FlooK Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Plants looking loads healthier, the LED board has been an absolute god send during the heat over the last few days, tent hit a max of roughly 28c and it would have been WAY over that with a HPS. I've started to see roots appearing out of the bottom of the seedling bags so tempted to move them up a pot size, not sure whether to go straight into the final 3gal fabric bags or maybe do something smaller in-between. Should also be ready for topping very soon. Please feel free to leave any suggestions really appreciate the advice! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Looking good I wouldn't start to think about potting up until they need watered every couple of days at least. 28° is a good temperature under LEDs Be careful not to cause wind burn, If you notice any problems then just point the fan at the wall of the tent rather than directly at them.

FlooK Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Feels like its going pretty good Transplanted the 8 plants into 1gal pots and will leave them another 1 or 2 weeks till I can hopefully identify sex then move them into the final 5gal fabric containers and then flip to flower . With a bit of luck this will be the correct timing for veg since I've had issues with plant height previously. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlooK Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Got a question if anyone could kindly offer some input, these plants are getting pretty big now and I still can't identify their sexes. Do I flip them to flower, kill off the males when it becomes clear, then pot up to the final 5g containers? (Not sure if this is correct since I've heard the stress of transplanting pots can be detrimental to their growth when they're trying to bloom). Or, do i leave them to keep growing, hopefully identify the males soon and kill them, transplant to the 5gal pots leave them a few days to get used to their new pots then flip to flower and hope height isn't an issue? Hope that makes sense cheers for any info fellas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Have you tried taking real close up photos of the preflower locations? That way you can zoom in for a better look. If there's any you're not sure of then upload them and we'll be able to advise Otherwise you've got the option to either pot them all up to slightly larger pots or just keep them in the current ones just now. You can wait until you're sure of the sex of each plant or you can flip to find out in a week or so I'd advise against potting up once flowering has been started as the plant prioritises flower production over roots. Hope this helps. Atb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlooK Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Good shout. Makes sense they prioritize buds over the roots when in bloom, ill do my best to avoid that. Going to have another look at 5pm when the lights come on, i had a good look yesterday though and couldn't see any signs for either m/f but i've got a rookie eye. Will take a few pics and edit this post. Thanks again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlooK Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 They're looking a bit sad since they seem to be drinking a lot and their containers are still small with just 1 watering per day. I have just watered so they should perk up shortly. Still struggling to identify the sexes and i'm really sorry but the quality is being butchered when i upload here. The 3rd pic you can see little hairs where the buds would usually grow and that's a clear sign I believe that they're female. I guess my only option is to wait a few more days and hopefully all the females will show their sex and any unknowns I can assume are male. Think ill be using fem seeds next time this is very stressful 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumroom Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Like you mentioned @FlooK 3. Is definitely female. 4 and 5 I can't tell yet. Top tip: Crop the photo right down to the relevant part of the plant(sex organs) before resizing. Atb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlooK Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 Pretty pleased with the root porn I ended up potting up 4 females into 5gals, left them a couple days and flipped. They were getting too big so didn't have much choice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
