Wow. Great male/female ratio. Very nice. It's cool that you got one male of each though. Grats on the ladies. Definitely keep us posted. They are looking beautiful. Take care and be safe.
thanks a lot guys, everything is finally starting to come together. i normally do not like to procrastinate but with a new baby, I find myself comprimising. But now that my plants are basically sexed, I have a renewed sense of energy.
I am going to be taking some cuttings tonight, once those cuttings root, everything will be moved to the system. I am also making a small grow box to house my males.
I finally have everything up and running in my recirculating DWC. I just turned on the pump and see is running like a beauty. I have a sheet of panda film that goes on top and around the buckets but I removed it to show ya the plants in the actual system.
So it is confirmed, I have 3 males, 1 of each strain I am growing. I have 1 really nice,frosty Kush male, 1 huge Mango male which i just confirmed today:doh: and 1 very sativa male purps. This actually works out good for me because it gives me greater flexiblity in my breeding projects.
Well here is a pic of the big Mango male that I confirmed today
The ladies are looking spectacular MP. Gotta love those tight nodes and that lush green color. :hubba: Whatever your doing keep it up because they look great. :aok:
First 2 Pics are my 2 prized males. 1 BC Mango and 1 Mendo Purple. The BC Mango is the larger of the two but they are both beautiful plants, and they both smell outstanding...i was kind of upset because this purps male was my best smelling plant, it may be one of the best smelling plants that i have grown. It smells just like fruity pebbles cereal, from back in the day.lol... Either way it is the best for the long run as this is now going to be the male half of my BC purple Kush F1's. The Bc Mango has a very lofty job as well, it has to pollenate a BC Kush clone, and a purps clone, resulting in Purple Mango and Mango Kush F1's.
The rest of the pics or of the ladies about a week into 12/12. The are starting to get big. I will be cracking out the connie next week.
I will be cutting the males tops off tonight and putting them in a solution of water and B1, and moving them out of the flowering room so the early openers do not seed my garden. The pollen will be collected and applied manually to my selected clones.
I will be also stealing the males pots in order to put my rooted clones in to prepare them to be seeded, in a a couple weeks, as they have now begun to grow again.
I have actually changed my mind now. I am actually going to anchor my males in some oasis foam that I recently picked up. I use Oasis cubes for rooting and seedlings sometimes but I can get actual Oasis floral foam for a waaaay cheaper price... On inspection this stuff is the same stuff as oasis cubes, so I am going to use it for this and I am going to put a few cuttings in some homecut cubes and see what kind of results i get.
Here are a few bud shots at almost 4 weeks, 26 days in, to be exact. All of these girls are very frosty already, I mean very frosty. THC extends down the entire fan leaves on most plants.
Sorry about the pics but my lights on right now, i will try and get some new pics tomorrow before the light comes on as I have to change a bulb in the grow room.
