Day 29. ( Day 1 of Week 2F): This is the 2nd week of my partial flowering period to find females, then top, repot and return to vegetative (18/6). Currently, the plan for this week is either continue to try and detect the Females or just give up and throw out the 5 males that I have detected last week, repot the rest and nurse them back to health. I would prefer to be 100% sure that what I am reporting will be only female plants as I do not have the real estate to waste time on potential males...time will tell.... Day 32. 6 Males removed. New shop light added for 6 T8 bulbs total. Day 32: Plants reported in 1 Gal containers. 4 Part Promix HP 1.5 Part coco coir 1 Part Worm casting 2.5 TBSP/gal Gaia Green 444 0.3 TBSP/Gal 7:3:1 Bat Guano 0.25 TBSP/Gal 3:1:3 Insect Frass *As expected, the early aggressive growing plants that suffered badly during flower were extremely rootbound in the solo cups. The plants that were slower had less rootbound issues but still are just floppy slow growing plants. Hoping to nurse the aggressive females and possibly remove these floppy green females due to lack of space. Although I fully expect them to come around as they mature now. Day 33: Topped at 3rd or 4th node for Main-Lining. I should have probably waited until the transplant stress was over but I have no patience. =======Lessons Learned======= =====early male detection====== *results may be specific to my situation/ strain: 1. at least in my case, with this strain, all the males show 70% males earlier than the females. 2. Any stress will hinder/ slow the plants growth therefore lengthen the time it takes to show pre-flowers. 3. Solo cups are too small and will increase the chance of plants becoming root bound and cause stress and stunted growth - major problems. 4. If done properly, this should only set vegetative growth time back by 10 days to 2 weeks (time spent flowering plus time spent reverting back) Luckily I had time to experiment as I am waiting for my proper grow tent to become available. Also the alternative, if I grew all 17 plants out and waited for pre flower I would have run the risk of running out of space.
