therein lies the problem..
until they sex..the stems are too rigid..that is how I broke the first one..
4 inches..and it will be up to the ridge..
but look at this..me indy..the stalk is as thick as my index finger..but look at the ridges..I am not going to get stalk flexibility until they show sex..
smOke..I completely forgot..I have a stable..white widow x blue mystic cross..from a supporter..that I am going to cross with the maz x lown..which should give me a 4 way medical cross..
Roll on outdoor..
i have an idea, you can snip off the main growth shoot. then the only part of the plant growin taller will be the side shoots. they are thinner than the main stem so when they get as tall as the rest of the plant you can bend them easily. it would probably slow them down growing wise a day
thats the only thing i can think of they'll be at your height limit's in less than a week
I think that I am going to have to..hopefully..the extra height..means that they are the males anyway..
I will look to super-crop..but do it higher than normal..so if it snaps..I have another cloning experiment..
nowt's a bother..
I would be complaining more if the temps stunted them..you cannot complain about good solid growth can you..
How do you fancy that ww x blue mystic cross..
I have had a hankering for WW since I found out the mmj side..
I am going to have to look up the blue mystic..if it is a green/blue..it would look good in the sativa crosses..
but..if they are the misty green/grey..
that would go into the sativa nicely..
and additional trics from the widow..would be welcome in any cross..
You CANNOT have too many trics..
SEE how it gets me..
THAT is another reason I need them to show..if 50% are males..I have spare capacity..
If not...I only have 6-8 weeks before I can get the bigger ones outdoor..
but..look at this..mid section suddenly lifting like an umbrella..
THAT is a flaming pre-balls sex spurt....I just knew it..
smOke..this is one of the tall ones..I will know in a couple of days..but they look like balls to me..I will crop after that..no point in delaying sex now.
Cheers BeAn..it will be a good pollen donor..
smOke..I forgot..yesterday, I found a light hours/latitude chart..
cheers backcountry..
I will reach 12/12 hours on 21st March..(at present..8-10 hours)..
so you know..if they are going to flower shortly..it would give them 8-10 weeks to fatten..and they are 50 % lowryder genetics..
could just be possible...
yeah man , sorry but it looks like its packin up some balls in there.
But no matter.. you have a great crew of girls.. and youll have to deal with more new phenos as soon as you cross it again. doing a great job man.
Yeah WAMEN..my mission at the end of last year..was to chase the LR dom single cola type pheno..
and I didn't get a single one this time..
Plus..Indy works better for me..
so I get all sativas..
Mother nature has a funny sense of humour..
and... she has given me a dose of white fly-green fly..
I mean..
where did she find those in January
I wish I had my little green canna guard bugs back..
I am on my way up there now smOke..snip..snip..
The one on the left is the better of the 2..
the right is rangier..and you can "see" the difference in build...as to how they are reacting in the wind.
Before I cut them down I added a label saying pollen donor.. "height"..to the right hand one..
and pollen donor.." perfect".. to the one on the left..
That sorted the height problem...
Not only has my favourite indy turned male..but..this looks like my favourite f3..is on the turn too..
p.s. just seen the pics, dont you get people giving you funny looks in the supermarket....im sure its not everyday that peeps see thumbs as green as yours.
Actually BeAn..I have just been checking out your grow diary..in the link..
I think we are probably very similar growers..
Are your hands itching in the down time?
These are my silver lining..
The one above is my AF..(pregnant?) girl..as she is fattening..you can start to see how Many bud sites she has..she is looking prettier by the day..
and this one is my f3..af..
look at the size and vigor on those pistils..it bodes well..
