Let's talk about bringing indoor plants out with excessive veg time.

[PsillyRabbitOG]

welll, phek. All but one of the plants in the flower tent is male! 6/10 were culled due to lack of vigor or male. Leaving me a single female caesar as a snack for late spring.
Sucks, but it is what it is. If the remaining female was a white Siberian it would be crossed to a male Caesar. ( I don't want the cross the other way around)

Now i have to veg a clone of "5" until its big enough to get nocked up.Confirmed female gametes on plant "E" and plant "5" my two original choices before clones were taken. Still waiting on a sign from "A" witch is now way too big for my flower tent. So if its female im gonna attempt to flower in sunlight( moving plant back on fourth for the 12 hours of darkness.

Plants "5" & "E" are getting fuckin huge. Im making cuts just about every other day to maintain the desired size/habit. They will be transplanted soon, by the end of the weekend atleast.

Check out the biggest male "1" he had a woody stem and super slippery bark. I wonder what that all represents.

 

[flowerdave]

glad you got those back up clones, wonder why so many males.

 

[PsillyRabbitOG]

I have bouquets of branches in cups right now. (ATM 88/58 days) I have to cut/top about 6-8 branches weekly to keep each in the right shape. I've dried out and kept every single healthy leaf/brach removed. When planting in the ground they will get a top dress with all of the trim so that way I can feel as if the nutrients did not get thrown out.
Maybe the tough love received in the beginning to keep them small induced more males(?) Turns out plant"4" had a single set of female stigmas surrounded by balls on 99.9% of the branches. These are not feminized seeds so maybe I was too tough. Plus side is it weeds out the crappy genetics. Upon chopping and fucking around with the corpse root balls from a few of the plants I can see They are not root bound yet. The roots didn't spread as much as I would have liked. In all cases the plant can pick the soil up from when grabbed from the stem but it seems there is a separation line from the 1 gallon pot into the new medium. I am assuming thats my fault for not watering properly. Possibly I need to rough the roots up a lil bit more when transplanting. OR they were in the 1 gallon pots too long (like was told by another member and couldn't admit) so there was root damage that couldn't be see before the transplant.

Also when transplanting it is very important that both soils are about the same moisture content

Gone done did it earlier today. These 3 gallon parts were on the difficult side to transplant alone.Gonna need a hand when they go in the ground.
Please excuse the living space it was the only area with enough room to freely move while doing the transplant. With that said there was not many pictures taken because I was more concerned about getting the job finished and cleaning up. After cleaning watering was priority. After watering I was tired/ too heavy to move to an appropriate place for pictures.
Snapped a few to sho size, the first leaf showing a "problem" and a picture drawn to help decide the final shape. Now that hey are in crates i will be able to move them around and snap better pics. ATM I still am not 100% positive plant "E" is a female but did spot one set of female preflowers. So my fingers are crossed. I should know for sure any day now when the clone shows sex.

 

[flowerdave]

not sure what's going on with that leaf. you should drop that in Franksters diagnostic thread and get his opinion. he is pretty knowledgeable

 

[PsillyRabbitOG]

I put "Franksters diagnostic thread" in a search but didn't yield anything. I was thinking it's just old. I don't defoliate and it was at the bottom. The brown edges I would contribute to getting too dry while a giant fan blew on them.

Also just wanted to note the transplant was coincidentally on the 90/60 day mark.

It's a current thread. Franksters diagnostic helpline

Excuse my ignorance I still need to figure out how to navigate the site. I looked at 4 pages under "Latest Posts " and did not see it.

 

[flowerdave]

on the forum page . on the left side under Medical cannabis cultivation>general indoor growing then scroll down till you see it

Day 99. Just noticed this girl wants to flower so bad that she is just about doing it. The light cycle has not changed but me think she might have flipped herself. The branch structure has started to change and the ratio of hairs showing up has drastically increased. There was a 12 hour period 8 days ago that I reduced the light intensity to snap the blue pic above and forgot to change it back. Not sure if that one event changed everything. I assume that would be equivalent to an overcast day outside.Either way just to be safe I am going to increase the light cycle by 15 mins. Pics tomorrow if y'all want.

 

[flowerdave]

I would think that one time event would not trigger it but who knows. I'm not a plant

 

[PsillyRabbitOG]

Between changing tents repotting and re setting the light it Its kinda hard to tell how much they are growing.Its great to have a log to see feb 7 A was 24 inches and E was 19. Today 20 days later they are 32" and 28"

day 100 white Russian "5"

 

[PsillyRabbitOG]

day 70 Caesar "E"

 

[flowerdave]

Looking great? You surely are on your way to some Monsters!!! And you are right, logs are great.

 

[PsillyRabbitOG]

Thanks flowerDave it seems to just be me and you in here. I thought it was an interesting adventure to share but seems to get little to no attention.
At this point not much to share until they start to acclimate outdoors. I will pick this back up when that happening.
Cheers

 

[flowerdave]

maybe someone will join in at some point, don't remember what area you are in, I am in Michigan. I will be starting my plants in a month

day 90 Caesar - Day120 White Russian

Everything is going according to plan. The desired shape is spot on, the health/ vigor of the plants is as expected and my PH is still on point. The next 4-6 weeks I will start to acclimate outdoors. To keep these ladies manageable in the 4x4 tent the main leaders are being shaped and weigh trained with sticks into the right direction.
Plants are thoroughly drenched when feeding, aloud to dry for one day. Then receive a PHd spot water on the 3rd day and back to a full watering on the 4th day. Tips pinched as they reach the height of the main leader and a hard trim/ shape up is given about once a week. I will add pics if anybody cares.
I'm pretty sure I have the largest plants in NY state - please dispute this- I would love to see proof of larger plants.
