About how log until I can take clippings? There are baby limbs that have 3 branches on them but there small. 20 days old this thing is a monster. The only thing I did different from the others is it sprouted and i let it stand up before putting under lights. It sprouted in 3 days where it took my 2 others 5-6days to pop out of cube.

Well I want to find out if its male or female. Anxious about this cloning procedure sorry.

Well i guess MP would call it bag seed. Only one in this QP. It had a purple tint over the bud with little purple blueberries in side the bud when you pealed it open. Not sure on the strain sorry. I got 2 more but there shorter just about as bushy one 2 days and one 3 days younger then this one out of some stuff called ice.

Yeah she is healthy! I don't know I waited to put her under the light for the other 2 so she was sprouted and standing before i put her under light. Then I thought she stretched. I had to prop her up and put the fan on full for a little here and there and she pulled through.

*EDIT* I just want like 2 clones to sex.

 

[-C@jun-]

Thanks for that I will be on the look out as I feel she is maturing fast. They have fangs going up at every node on the trunk, would that be signs?

 

[Locked]

Yeah it's a good sign that is on the smaller side...the ones that hve been male for me are usually the taller ones...and unfortunately they always seem like the healthiest looking ones...I can usually spot males a lot sooner then the females...the two lil white hairs can be hard to see for a bit...the balls stick out more...

 

[-C@jun-]

Thanks for the info fellas I will be on the look out and hope its not a male. She is taller then the others but the others are a different strain then this one. They came out of some stuff the guy called ice. The 2 other "ice" plants are roughly the same size one is a day younger then the other. This one though like I said was the only seed in a QP of some fine smoking bud. Put you on your butt stoned.

 

[-C@jun-]

No but look for white pistils in that same area, usually the 3rd or 4th node from the top, balls grow in the same area.. I know its hard to wait but theres no rushing mother nature, even if you flowered her now she wouldnt start flowering until shes mature... Most males I have grown stretch more than that one is and are taller but I dont know that strain.. Ill keep fingers crossed for you bro! Keep us updated..

Forgive me I have always been impatient. As well cheap! I see it like if its a male I don't want to waste any more expensive nute on it.

She smells like dank. Could that be a sign or males can smell too?

 

[-C@jun-]

Not sure about the smells, its growing like a female and its nice and healthy, if it is a female then take a clone and grow a mother plant then all clones from the mother will be female!

I am raising them for mothers thats why in the pots. I plan to just veg my clones in 4" cubes 20" tall or so and put them in a flood tray planter to flower.

What lights are you going to flower with? If you are using the T5--I would flower way before they got 20".

 

[livinitup]

i have 3 young plants from seed 28 dayy old one showed sex as female on day 20 :ignore: the other 2 still yet to see i think i will know in the next day or two as is looks like balls coming very small to hard to tell yet so with the fast growth tomoroow they may be choped 2morrow so you will know very soon what yours is :hubba:

You know what I am going to use. We went through this in my grow room build topic. Yall talked me out of going with the 1000w HPS. I have a 600w HPS. Well not yet should be in Monday or Tuesday. I got one that also comes with a MH bulb.

**EDIT**
BTW your right by the size they are now I will only be able to flower 4 in that planter I own. Like you said. I have increased the size of the room double what it was. I am hoping I can put 2 5 gallon buckets on either side of that planter at least 2 on one side. But like I said I will see as I go. If it doesn't work I will just do nothing but 5 gal bucket grows in there.

Well there on day 22 and I have black hairs coming out on those fangs I was talking about at each node. Where I have seen people sex plants at the nodes I just have more leaves growing there. I have been using a cheap ph test kit. I used all the strips. I have the 600 on order should be in this week as well. Its been a week I have went without testing ph so I could have slowed the growth down by 2 weeks or so. Still working out my temp trying to keep the room at 70 but at night it wants to drop to 60-65. I put a heater in there for at night. Have it set at 70. Will see how it does over the next week.

 

[livinitup]

you will see little white hair come out from where it branches out at the top off the plant around the 7th node up so just befor it branches out with your fresh branches mine is about 10 high and 7 inches tall :hubba:

 

[-C@jun-]

First pic shows the fangs at each node i am referring too. They have black hairs coming out. Probally can't see. Sorry for pic was shooting through magnifying glass.

Second pic is of the 7th node from the bottom. More leaves.

Third pic is for hemp goddess who was wondering why I made my veg part so big. To the left 1'x1.5' area I will try to clone there. The plants are in pots because if there female they will be mothers.

 

[-C@jun-]

AWESOME!!! Those are what I have been calling fangs in the first pic at every node. They have a single black hair coming out of each one. They were orange a couple days ago.

OO and at the grow shop a guy was telling me that the smell was because my room wasn't staying at a exact temp.

 

[ozzydiodude]

You need to give it a few more days it doesn't look like the plant is sexually mature yet.

Yeah I probally put it behind 2 weeks not checking ph this last water change my damn meter was held up shipping over the thanksgiving holiday. I will post more pics this next saturday if i'm around. I should be able to clone by then a? She will be right a month.

 

[ozzydiodude]

Very few plants have branches big enough to take as clone before the plant is 6+ weeks old..

 

[-C@jun-]

I just need to slow my roll. Sorry I was told that cloning is the hardest part and kind of want to tackle it. Be ready for when the time comes.

 

[ozzydiodude]

Stop thinking cloning is hard, you are turning a mole hill into a mountain. As long as you provide the plant with the right enviroment it will root and grow. That is the only thing a plants wants to do, GROW. You may have to try 2 or 3 methods before you find the 1 that works the best for you. Read the "resources" there are 2 or 3 different ways to clone.
I have a thread "Super Simple Cloning" that has a couple members and mine ways of cloning.
Moisture, warmth and light are all you need to produce clones

Thanks I will check it out.
