    Default Atomic NL test grow time to transplant

    Here we are with the next installment, the plants are little over 2 weeks older than the last photos....

    Now that they have been in the 1 gal nursery pots for a bit under the mixed light (1000W ea of MH & HPS) they are really putting on some major healthy growth, and the stems are getting thickened up nicely. The runts/mutants have also put on some growth and even started to normalize a little as well. On with the photos....

    Here are a couple group shots of the Atomic NL in 1 gallon nursery pots:



    Now some individual close up shots:


    a lil bit mutated but recovering






    The side branches on this mutant wanted to be boss, but its recovering:

    same with this 1:



    As I transplanted them into 2gal nursery pots, I took a few shots of the roots, and before and after pictures:





    They were all very similar:

    Default Atomic NL test grow update

    So its been not quite a week since the transplant and last photos, took a few quick shots to note growth, root development, and some early sexing.





    Note the visible pistilate hairs, a sure sign this is a female:


    Less than a week since transplant and the roots are already pushing out the bottom:






    Hope you all have enjoyed the updates,

    Default Sexing the plants

    Been about 10 days since the last set of photos. Plants are still recieving 18hrs/day of 1000W HPS & 1000WMH.

    Keeping a close eye on the crop, and by now pretty much all of them are showing some sign of sex. (By letting them stay in that size pot a bit long, they get a tiny bit of root circling, which will encourage many plants to show a sign of sex) In some cases, particularly with males, it can be difficult for a begginer to judge sex by eye at such an early stage (still in vegetive lighting), but I have done it a few now, and do not second guess my determinations anymore. (You should be sure for yourself when sexing) Any sign of male-ness earns a quick death.

    Picture format is (mostly) as follows:
    Plant identification, whole plant, close up(s) of sex

    I may have flaked on a few, but the sex of the plants have been marked, and are visible in the identification shots. Also some of the close up shots may be hard to make out, but I did the best I could without a macro lens.

    Here are a couple group shots just before I sex them all:



    And now the sexing photos:



































    To be continued.....

    Default Sexing the plants continued....

    I took some pictures of the males root systems after I killed them to note root development:







    Lovely healthy plants. Killed off all the males, and spread the girls out so they have more room to grow. At this point I switched from a mix of MH & HPS to 2000W of HPS only, still at 18hrs/day.

    Hope you have enjoyed the update.

    Default Just a quick update

    Just popped in with the cam real quick a few days after sexing and transplanting. Looking healthy and happy, starting to be a lil bushy at the bottoms.







    Thats all for now, more later.
