I ended up doing it on one plant. Kind of interested in what happens. I have reversed plants before and they get funky for awhile. So you are spot on S&S.
I think Flower(and maybe subbie) on another site had luck taking a cutting and putting it in a cup of water and flipping the cutting to 12/12 in order to sex the plants. A couple years ago, I had good results cloning small cuttings and once I saw evidence the cuttings rooted , I flipped to 12/12 and the clones showed in a week or two. Of course that can take up to a month which is a lot of veg time if you are itching to flip to flower. I also inadvertently had the cup of water thing work back when I was a teenager. I knew nothing about growing(nor what a male or female plant looked like). I accidentally snapped off the top of the plant and had it in a glass of water under a room lamp. It started to root and showed pistils but I didn’t know it at the time.

Gotta flip some veg into flower take some cuts and get the latest round of seeds under some hps while I tumble the start of some full melt and get ready to trim a plant.
I don't have time for all them breakfastses.
Sadly its caloric overload and sugar that is killing us all.
Too true - carbs in and carbs out - if you want to eat like Desperate Dan - then you have to live a life of hard physical labour - to burn 🔥 all of those carbs -

I'm not one for breakfast either - every day - no way - rather get the bod into ketosis or autophagy - on a regular basis - but occasionally will indulge a full English Breakfast - or just bacon 🥓 and 🥚 eggs even - over easy - sunnyside up - in an omelette or souffle - eggs are great -

All of the vertical joints stay pristine, but for some reason the lower one continues to fail
Could there be flex in the tub that works the caulk loose over time? We had our bathroom gutted and remodeled and the dipsh!T plumber didn’t read the installation instructions on the tub. It wasn’t properly supported with a tin layer of plaster. The tub still flexes a little bit after a lot of work to fix it(without properly fixing it by removing the tub). I used some good flexible silicone to seal it and so far so good.

Is the tub flexing from the weight ?
Some times vigorous activity happens in tubs whether you're alone or with company.

No visible flexing. I suspect it may have to do with how hard it gets scrubbed for mold. I never see mold in the vertical runs, just the bottom horizontal ones.

Another difference is that the bottom caulk has to bond with both the faux marble and the porcelain, where the vertical ones are all Marblecraft.

The bottom seam also stays wet longer.

Took the boy 👦 to his first Brazilian Ju-jitsu class - it was a freebie - just to see if he took to grappling around on the floor - and was like a duck to water - he loved it - so will be signing him up for a full course - and will have to buy a Ju-jitsu gee (oufit) - it's his Christmas present - and a good one I reckon - already he's a junior Taekwundo black belt - and a good boxer - so getting him to do (and hopefully excell) in a wrestling/grappling martial art - should help to make him better at self defense - when it might go to the floor - more rounded -

Then we hit the gym for a good workout and clean up - even took my daughter along - and now all basking in that feeling of well being you get - after training hard - rewarded with endorphins -

I'd say it's time for a cuppa tea - and some of that cheesy pie we made yesterday - and a fat spliff on the balcony (of course) -

My son trained BJJ with Gabriel Gonzaga in Worcester MA for about 5 years. He was 14 rolling with adults as the only kid in the gym. Got his purple belt but then got hooked on boxing and Muay Thai. He trained with Jose Antonio Rivera(former world champ also from Worcester). He quit all MMA after perforating both ear drums and worrying about CTE. Glad got the experience he got and also glad he stopped the boxing/MT.

Wasn’t me. Maybe crash? I miss him….
‘the whole sexing thing I don’t have down yet. I try to let them stay in a 1 gallon pot until they show sex. Unfortunately, they suffer in the 1 gallon getting lanky and ugly unlike if I were to have up potted them and gave them new soil and root enhancer. I’ve only done it 4 times now. I really don’t have the room to up pot them as it’s usually too many plants to hold in the one tent that I’m using for the purpose not to mention the cost of the new soil wasted on a boy as I won’t re use it but maybe I need to rethink things. I do like the reg seeds tho and what I have grown using them have turned out above average even if their start was a bit harder. Right now I have 4 female skunks in one tent. They are tall and lankey and don’t look that healthy but after the transplant they have finally start to look somewhat better but they are an ugly sight when I look at them as they are bondaged down under the net that I’m trying to fill in. This will take a bit longer than when using fem seeds but will eventually fill the screen and I will forget about this awful time waiting on them to look better. I guess it’s kind of a trade off right now but I’m gonna figure a better way…

I really wouldn't want the boy to make a career out of fighting - or try to - unless he becomes an instructor - of course we don't want our kids getting seriously hurt - it would hurt us too - to see that - better they use their training to build confidence and strength - to be able to handle themselves - and defend themselves - improves their agility - flexibility and stamina too - was fun watching my son trying to tie this other kid in knots today - all well supervised - with 2 trained professionals at hand to teach and oversee the proceedings - there were no tears or tantrums - the rest of the class were focused - and followed instructions well -

I said I ate well but didn't say I wasn't subject to a binge now and then...I almost sent you the rest of those snowmen...I know my blood sugar is up after 2 of those a day...guilty pleasures wont kill us if done in moderation...spending the day cooking, more meatballs are a must...

Today is the 9 hour power outage. I woke up extra early to crank up the heat in the house and make sure we had filled buckets for flushing. I made sure to unplug my exhaust fan down in the grow aswell so it wouldn't remove any of the heat built up just before the power went out. Half way there and the thermostat says it's still in the 50's in the house.

On a positive note Mrs S&S woke up a bit frisky and we decided to spend all of the AM sharing personal space for warmth.❤️‍🔥 Maybe I'll stop paying the electric bills once in awhile, if that's what it takes.

She is now off riding her horses and it's my turn to get the groceries done. Thinking by the time I get home the power might be back on and I can head down to the Dungeon for damage control and a joint.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Good on you! It builds confidence, that is reflected in other ways.

I was precocious so started school a year early, but still grew up late, so was smaller those around me and with my big mouth, I was a bully magnet until I took martial arts and stopped being afraid.

Like magic without me every mentioning martial arts or acting like a bad ass, once I stopped broadcasting fear, sober bullies stopped picking on me.
Now I remember why I like clones. All female. Like Subby I have limited space. As hard as I looked not one of them showed me anything.
When we operated the SPR gardens, we almost exclusively used clones, which we also gave away for free. One good part about that, is that it spreads the strain out in the community, so if you lose a strain, you know where to go to get a cutting.
