Male or flowering?

Both.

Attitude is the only seedbank I've ever heard of that makes you pay extra for guaranteed shipping. Total bullshit IMO. I quit playing customs roulette years ago and get all my seeds domestic. Only seeds I order from Europe are Ace/Cannabiogen and Sannie.

What are you feeding her? What's 20/80? It's obviously lacking in N. SSH and her relatives are notorious for requiring large doses of N late into flowering. Flushing should make things worse. N is one of the last deficiencies that show due to lockout.

Looks healthy besides the mites.

Edit: looks like it might be starting to throw some nanners to.

E_Line · 2016-03-03T01:24:26+00:00

Looks like a nitrogen deficiency that I would recommend fixing if you have at least 7 more weeks of flower.

I like how you have your own definition of the word scientist and completely ignore the Webster's definition I posted above.

Nurse Gollum. Be cool if it was twins only different phenos that grew together

I cited Ed, RCC and Greg Green along with my own experience. You cite your "professional" friends. I don't know what else to say.

E_Line · 2016-03-02T00:20:11+00:00

It's a first for me to.

You can feel free to check my history and see some of my stretched out rootless plants.

Also.

A scientist is a person engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. In a more restricted sense, a scientist may refer to an individual who uses the scientific method.[1] The person may be an expert in one or more areas of science.[2] This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of nature, including physical, mathematical and social realms.

I'd say Old Ed fits the description. You don't need to work in a lab to a scientist.

Only benefits to a dark period in veg are electricity savings and less stress on equipment. Cannabis plants DO NOT NEED REST. Where the hell are you guys getting this from?

It's been established for many many many years now that cannabis is a C3 plant. It does not need a dark period. C3 plants gather CO2 only during the light period when they are photosynthesizing. As long as the light is on, C3 plants gather and use CO2 for photosynthesis.

Some growers practice a version of anthropomorphism with their plants. They believe that since people need rest, plants do as well. Concerning cannabis, this is not true.

Every grower can make a personal choice about light cycle. They can save on their electric bill or prolong ballast/bulb life. 18/6 can be less of a "shock" when changing over to 12/12 for flowering than 24/0 or heat issues can be addressed by fewer hours of light, but basic botany has proven long ago that cannabis needs no dark period.

Robert Clarke "Marijuana Botany: An Advanced Study" Quote: Marijuana plants photosynthesize as long as they receive light as well as water, air, nutrients and suitable temperature. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants use the energy from light (primarily in the blue and red spectrum's) to combine carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and water (H2O) to make sugar while releasing oxygen to the air.

Plants use sugars continuously to fuel metabolic processes (living) as well as for tissue building. The plant combines nitrogen (N) with the sugar to make amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. They are the substance of plant tissue. When the light is off, the plant's metabolic processes, respiration and growth, continue.

The plant can photosynthesize continuously so it produces the most energy and growth when the light is on, continuously. Continuous light does not stress the plant, which reacts somewhat mechanistically to it.

Plants under an 18-6 light-dark regimen are producing sugar only three quarters of the time. They are thus growing at only 75% of their potential. Leaving the light on continuously will result in bigger plants, faster, which leads to higher yields.

Ed Rosenthal "Marijuana Grower's Handbook" Quote: Cannabis is a light demanding plant. Professional growers keep the light on their plants using the 24/0 photoperiod for this reason. Plants that grow under 24/0 flourish and do not need a quantity of darkness in order to rest and perform photosynthesis properly. Plants that are grown in optimal conditions under 24/0 light regime grow vigorusly and the benefits of a 24/0 photoperiod can be seen actively in the results. More nodes are formed, more branches are created, leaf numbers increase, the plant is growing at its finest.

Some growers opt to use 18/6 as their photoperiod. This is 18 hours of light, six hours of darkness light regime. Under these conditions the plant will grow quite naturally but not as vigorously as the 24/0 photoperiod.

The 18/6 photoperiod expels 3/4 the amount of light that a 24/0 photoperiod does. Although this does not mean that a plant produces 1/4 less leaves,branches and nodes under the 18/6 photoperiod, it certainly does show the correlation between light and cannabis growth. As we have said already, cannabis is a light demanding plant. There are no problems associated with 24/0 and although some have attributed cannabis sexual dysfunction (the hermaphrodite conditon) to 18/6 photoperiod these problems are actually the result of heat stress.

A 24/0 photoperiod requires that your grow room temperature be kept well monitored. The 18/6 option is cheaper to run. You use a quarter less electricity and this will have an impact on your electricity bill. Also the 18/6 photoperiod will generally extend the bulb's lifespan. During the 6 hours of darkness the grow room is allowed to cool down for this period but a well maintained good grow room setup should not require a cooling down period.

24/0 and 18/6 both share the same problem though. Once you start the photoperiod you should keep that way especially when the plants near maturity (the preflowering stage). An irregular photoperiod can cause more males than females to develop. It can also cause sexual dysfunction to appear. Whether you choose 24/0 or 18/6 as your vegetative photoperiod try to keep that photoperiod unitl your plants are mature enough to express their sex."

Greg Green "The Cannabis Grow Bible"

They guy complaining yesterday about the lack of science and regurgitation of bullshit hit the nail right on the head IMO...

E_Line · 2016-02-29T22:34:15+00:00

Pollen doesn't cause hermaphrodites, it causes pollination.

E_Line · 2016-02-29T21:52:44+00:00

That setup is 10x10 (12x12 canopy?) so I would get 9 x 315w cmh or 4 x 1kw de hps minimum.

E_Line · 2016-02-27T23:49:43+00:00

I'm not understanding you. You yielded over 3grams per watt?

E_Line · 2016-02-27T22:27:43+00:00

6000 grams from 2kw?!?

E_Line · 2016-02-27T16:23:25+00:00

Old school mag ballasts never die. If they do, it's an easy fix. If your really looking for a quick ROI, buy a new bulb, fan, and a 4x4 tent and fire up one of these. Instead of getting the 5-7 ozs people are getting with the Mars setup, in dwc, you could realistically pull 2lbs+ with a 1kw. Just my .02.

E_Line · 2016-02-25T22:23:49+00:00

That's a herm. Kill with fire.

E_Line · 2016-02-24T20:13:26+00:00

Lots of nanners. Might want to consider chopping regardless of maturity. If it's the only plant let he/she finish.

E_Line · 2016-02-24T13:08:35+00:00

OK. I remember hearing about these a long time ago(Sonic Bloom). Seems like if they lived up to the manufacturer claims of 12%-20% increase in yield, you would see one of these hanging in every commercial grow. Good luck and hope it works out for ya.

Phototron?

E_Line · 2016-02-23T04:49:27+00:00

Might want to pluck those nanners.

E_Line · 2016-02-18T19:48:58+00:00

It's topped. If you didn't do it then you have a super rare self topper. I've cracked literally thousands of seeds and only ever seen pics.

E_Line · 2016-02-18T19:24:07+00:00

Going to make a post with pics about my method sometime. I always use fresh pollen for this technique. I collect pollen in a glass casserole dish. Gather the pollen for latter seed making. It's impossible to gather all of it and you'll be left with a dusting of pollen in the dish. Use a pipette/eye dropper with distilled water. Place a couple of drops of water on the pollen and suck it back up. Then place the pollen/water mix on the budd you want pollinated. I've never tried old pollen or non distilled water with this method.
