thanks for stopping in and for the sympathetic words fruity but there is no need for sorry's , thanks anyway tho . i dont mind the hermie(kinda lol, it is growing like a monster... i guess it kinda is a monster?) and i knew there was probably one or two in there and i have too much going on anyway till i finish the new space. this will open up valuable space/light for the "real" girls to enjoy and also helps me clean up my stock . i get rid of an unstable strain and learn a little more about stuff(as always, cuz there is always stuff to learn) and if i have to remove enough of them maybe i can unplug the lights in the one closet, its all good. i am glad that it is showing very early on as well so i can remove it early unlike some that wait till you are 4-5 weeks into flower and then just before harvest you notice seeds forming and find late hidden nanners or flowers tucked deep in the buds spurting thier goo all over unnoticed , thats when being sorry is appropriate. i just sat and got close and personal with my volcano and now im going in . there should be some interesting looking plants coming from the bondage closet. strange pics to follow lol. happy growing.
it only ended up being half a days work today. i took out each plant individually and looked at them all very very well. the original plant that i spotted the one male flower on i found one more about half as developed as the other one and that was it so i picked off one of the sacs, marked where the other one is and moved her/it up to the front of the class so i can keep a real close eye on it. i figure that it is bound to grow more male flowers or at least nanners but if it doesnt and only produces those 2 sacs then i am gonna keep the single sac for future investigation and also as a bonus will be able to keep the plant but that is dreaming. there were 2 other plants that had hermie signs, and i mean serious hermie signs, so i took them right out and threw them away. by serious hermie signs i mean that i was finding up to 7, 8 and more male flowers half way, or less than half way thru the search so i wasted no time with those. they were both in the lst room so removing them made a bunch of extra room in there but i am going to wait for a couple more days before bending them again because iam going to give another couple serious searches of the plants for hermies over the next couple days. i am hoping that is it but time will tell. enough rambling and onto the pics. i apologize in advance for my shutter happy fingering but a lot of good weed, a camera and a bunch of sexy ladies .... maybe im not sorry . sometimes a pic of something might just be a pic of something that interests/helps someone else. these are for my own reference, if enjoyed or not, thanks for reading this far .
edited to include this info cuz i was high and forgot to put it in the first try lmao.
pics #1-3 are the first plant i found the flower on, the one now at the front of the class.# 4 is a shot of 2 plants that were tied down springing back up and #5 is a top shot of those 2 plants. # 6 just a plant. # 7 is a plant that had most of it snapped off a few weeks into growth( see rest in next post). #'s 8+9 are a shot of a plant i popped the top off early and the stalk remaining after clones. #'s 10+11 are good healthy root shots and pic 12 is of some strong stalks and a look into how far into rockwool the green goo goes if left alone.
here are some more pics lol. remember that all these pics are useful one way or another to someone or another .
#1 is a pic of the snapped plant that grew into the tall straight plant mentioned above. #'s 2-4 are different stalks that were popped early on. #'s 5-7 are some early little buds and #'s 8+9 are of the nice neat lst room before and after the search. it will stay messy for now.
threw away one more today. it had a few sacs on it with signs of more so it is gone. again it is a shame because it grows like a monster. 49 days from germination and 12 days into 12/12. o well, part of the game. the rest of the plants are on watch but i think i have that strain removed now except for the one nut which has not grown anymore sacs yet. they all look ok i guess, i cant get them rebent the way they were cuz they just wouldnt go and i had a rough time trying so i have left them stand a bit. its ok that i got rid of one more as well cuz now there is more room in the one closet. i am down to four in the one closet and seven in the other. here are some pics...
1. the thing. 2. pretty bud on the thing. 3. the reason it is a thing. 4. tried to show stalk size using lighter as reference, it does no justice. 5. the four stalked monster (all female, so far phew). 6. is a shot of the thing just under the top to show growth, its a one plant jungle
another morning of serious scrutinizing and searching every nook and cranny of my girls. i have to remove one more which brings me down to 10, 4 in one closet and 6 in the other. things seem to be going ok for now. no major issues rearing thier ugly heads, no funny lookin colours or messed up lookin leaves. i guess things look ok, any opinions are appreciated. day 15 into 12/12 and 52 days from germination(give or take a day). there are a few pics here of the girls and the poor hermie that has to go lol.
pics 1,2+3 are pics of 2 plants in the same 6" rockwool block. i tried to show the lst i am doing but not a good pic and a shot of them in a chair and in thier room. #4 is a pic of good ol one nut. still yet to form any other sacs or even nanners as of yet. #5 is a pic of the reason the one plant is getting tossed, a couple bunches of green nanners forming(more on the plant) #6 is the other room with the 6 plants and #'s 7+8 are of some clones and the roots formed after 15 days.
it has been a while since i updated and i do so without pics. no camera right now. i am hoping to get a camera later today and take some pics. right now i have to move everything outta here cuz the landlord needs to bring an appraiser from the bank through tomorrow.
anyway, i will deal with that. i am down to 8 plants left. i had a couple more go hermie on me after 2-3 weeks of flowering so they are tossed. the plants i have left are definitely doing good. they hit 6 weeks of 12/12 tomorrow. there has been no issues so far this grow(i dont count hermies as issues just an inconvenience). i am getting that itch to pick cuz some of the plants are coated in trichs but im gonna wait it out, i hope . i have to go clean up and tear down and relocate for a day now .
