After daily temperatures rose steadily to around 30C, am very happy with how SMH is growing. SMH was slower than PHxM and Malawi to kick into veg, I suspect due to temperatures below 25C. SMH up until now has not shown the rapid growth of those other strains, but also has not had the degree of stress the other strains showed from a K deficiency in my soil, although the little SMH does show such symptoms on one lower leaf.
SMH had lots of heat over this past weekend, up to 33C, and was kept in a shady place in the heat of the afternoons + off the hot stone. The little one finally perked up + is due for a larger pot, but all look happy and healthy. The middle one is probably female, judging from growth at the nodes. The third one on the right is a likely male and will be kept for pollen away from the girls. Females will be up-potted soon to 7 gallon pots for flowering. I'll keep the male in the same 13L pot but will add more soil into the bottom of the pot. Cheers all, enjoy your grows!

about plants‘ gender. Photos below of 2 SMH plants ## 2 & 3. #3 I think is male, #2 female. Do you have a different view?
