Thanks bro, I appreciate the good words or encouragement. I used the same stuff and soil as my vegetable plants and its been good. These are from feminized seeds, I like the challenge of growing plants from seeds, its more interesting. I may try regular seeds to see male plants. A little more time on this board and will definitely get the girl thing down

Hell yea keep up the good work! When you start crossbreeding your favorite phenos is when shit gets interesting. You create your own dank ass strains and get to try something completely new, your own strains. You can take the pollen from a male or the pollen from a choice strain that throws nanners from its buds. Some of the best bud ive grown had slight hermaphrodite traits. Im not talking about the type that throws more nanners than buds, im talking about the predominantly female plants that throw a few nanners from its buds or nodes. You will most likely see a few nanners on some of the plants you grow, cut the nanners off and control pollinate whatever female plant branches you want seed on. Dont dump the pollen on the branch but lightly brush the pistols so it still produces mostly bud and doesn't over seed.

Sorry for talking your head off! Just something to think about

Hey Dogg, that thing chunked up nice! Foxtailing will drive you batty trying to determine when to chop.

If you put a plant out too early before the Solstice or move it from 18 hours inside to outdoor natural light even in June it will trigger early flowering, and you're likely to encounter foxtails toward the end of your run. The flowering start date is indeterminate at this point because it had some degree of "bounce" back into veg that reset the clock on you. If you want to chop now you can just snip off the immature foxtails when you're trimming and make it part of your shake. But I don't think there's any harm giving it another week to 10 days either, eh?

I am with you, I started these plants outdoors shortly after germination. Just grew them with my tomatoes. All trial and error, but I learn a lot from this board, its been helpful

No I appreciate it, thats good stuff and helps me learn and possibly go into that direction. I hear about breeding and it seems like it would be interesting.

Yep. I was think about 1-2 weeks for the bigger one and about 2-3 for the smaller one

There are 2 kinds of fox tailing (in my opinion). The first produces wispy airy buds. This is the kind of fox tailing you don't want. It's stress and/or lighting related. This isn't what you're experiencing.

Yours looks more like your plant is throwing off a few late flower white pistils. It's common in cookies and some skunk cultivars (and probably others). Technically is fox tailing, but in this case it's more of a signal from your plant that its about done than something you should be concerned about. If you haven't been checking trichomes yet, its time. Are you able to post magnified trichome pictures? If you can, you can easily compare yours with @LoveGrowingIt's trichome chart he posted.

If they can hold it definitely do that and you won't regret it. Can we get a picture of the whole plant?

Don't automatically assume it will be 2 weeks. It could be sooner. Check them every other day and then daily at the end. More time is fine, but don't get lulled into a sense of complacency. It's outdoors and its fall. Your plants need eyes on them daily this time of year just to stay ahead of potential fungal issues.

Try to get one of these before your next harvest:

Amazon.com

Then your photos will be more like this.
