Good Babies??

Ok, will do. I hope that the Mylar comes soon. What happens when the plant hermies anyway??

When a plant hermies, the female plants will grow male flowers and pollenate itself, contaminating your buds with bad seeds. It will also pollenate any other female plants that are within range. Bad stuff. It's also impossible to find all the male flowers and pick them off so once they hermie, its best to get rid of them immediately. Take care and keep us posted. Be safe.

How's things? I hope your girls have perked up a little!

Hey ben..get that milar yet? and you want your ladies in total darkness during night photo..even a pin hole of light could send your plant hermie..let us know how things are going my friend

This is making me beyond crazy. THey're completely seperated from ANY light source. Now I've even constructed a little mylar tent, with their own air supply and exhaust. They're droopy, and not growing. They're going yellow, and loosing leaves on top.

The light is 12" away, temps are 76-78 at the soil level...*** is up??!!! :hairpull:

I'm ready to throw them into the snow!!! This grow started in December remember...

Looking ALOT better in here. I added the missing element in the Nute mix, and things are turning around. Not sure what the unsexed plant is doing, but I hope its buds not bawlz. Let me know what you all think...

Alright, so while on my mission of new soil for the SP and HS I picked up a moisture meter. It says to check 2/3 depth of the container. The soil is still damp on the surface from this morning, registering 3 of 4, but only 2 of 4 down 2/3 I'm wondering if the rose bed mix that I cut the organic soil with has screwed up the drainage. These ARE showing some new life, and now I can monitor the moisture better.

Stay tuned...

Soil was really dry again this morning so gave them another good drink. The $10.95 spent on the moisture meter was worth it already.

Both plants are perked up BIG TIME, and looking better...except...I think the un-sexed is growing bawlz. I'm tempted to let them go at it, and get some more seeds.

I'm going to post an inquiry on this right now actually...

 

[smokybear]

Is this bagseed? If so, I would just get rid of the males and keep the simsemilla. I hope things turn themselves around for ya. The ladies were looking pretty bad there for a little bit. I would go with some Fox Farms pro mix potting soil next time. It's really great stuff and I have never had any problems with it. Just my thoughts. Keep us posted my friend. Take care and be safe.

 

[benamucc]

Yea I agree. I went and did some research, and it IS bagseed after all. I knew it would be hard to part with a plant, but it is after all JUST a plant.

Since it IS bagseed, and they ARE perking up a bit, I'm NOT going to change the soil on these. I think they got the better end of the soil deal when it was being cut with the rosebed mix I have. Thank goodness the nursery is opened back up for the season!!! I'll make sure to stockpile next winter. This is what I get for trying to start growing in December!!

sounds good ben..I push my moister meter in allthe way to bottom of container...thats where the roots are and thats what we want to dry out every now and then...Im interested in the rosebed mix...but because I cant get Fox farm soil (without paying out the ...)..I found an organic potting mix with no time release and added perlite at 50/50 and my plants seem to enjoy it...Good luck and post some updated PORN man..

Call it lessons learned... I've closed down the veg box I had, and axed my first 2 attempts because of a BAWLZ problem. :doh: The 12/12 room is now an 18/6 room.

See ya'll around the forum...
