First Time Grower - I really needed a hobby!

The remaining plants do look like females. You should be good. Too bad about the others.

I just checked on the last 2 of my 5 plants ans am pretty sure they are female. I posted photos from the last 2 days including the clones I got that are in the veg tent. Hope one or more make it. They were from flowering plants and the guy that gave them to me said to just plant them as soon as they start showing roots out of the cube. I am just going to keep them on 12/12 and see what happens.

I included a photo of the male plants in a box at -15 degrees in garage overnight.

I did remove the two the other day and then some Pollen Sacs showed up on another so I am down to 2 of them and a friend came over and thinks the other two are male also. He brought me 8 clones he had growing, but in the time he walked from the car to my back door i think the -14 temp killed them. One looked ok this morning. My seeds I ordered should be here today, the mail has not run for last 2 days due to storm. I will post some photos of the remaining 2 plants soon.

does my comment
above refer to the male you removed? You did remove him, right?

PhantomSulker Yo, I'm a little concerned about all those calls on the second picture, because I don't see any pistils. Those may be pollen sacs; you should start a new post: Pollen Sacs??? or some such thing, and get some more opinions. They don't look like calyxes to me... could be bad news...

This past Saturday, I trimmed up all the lower 20% and took a lot of shade leaves out. I also gave each one a bath in the sink. They are doing great (except one male) but the rest look good.

Well now I can upload photos it looks like again. I will fast forward. I found pollen sacks on one plant today, I thought I saw them yesterday, but today it was evident. So one plant is coming out when I get home. I switched from my LED light to a HID due to the extreme cold we are having in Southwest MI. Tomorrow the windchill is going to -38 below 0. I added 2 clip fans to blow down and have 2 fan units from humidifiers running below the plants so lots of good air circulation.

Yeah, I don't even know how old they are, but the Maxi Grow was almost solid when I got it I broke it all up and seems to be working just fine. I did have some nut burn early, but that was me using nutes from day one no knowing yet that the dirt had all they needed.

I ordered yesterday, Geloto and Strawberry Banana for my next grow so getting ready for that I will likely buy a new set of nutes.

[PhantomSulker]

For some reason any photos I try to upload show up with a broke picture icon in the middle. Anyone have any knowledge if there are issues uploading photos or is there a limit?

Is it just me or are only 2 pics showing?
I use the same meter and I luv it,

Hi Sulker, welcome to the forum!! Sounds like you have some fun toys to play with; all my toys are for making concentrates.

Old nutrients: I had a hella time for around 3 weeks using old nutes which were expired, I realized as I watched my plants' leave yellow and get brown splotches until my new nutes arrived. Then they bounced back real nice. But if you see lower leaf signs, you may very well need to replace those nutes.

I also got some hermied seeds on one of my grows where all the bud was excellent. But I didn't mess with any of em; your grow will be exciting!

ps. This is the best hobby in the cosmos.

Happy new year to the plants they are doing well, I took everything out of the tent and moved all my electrical up to the ceiling. I was not comfortable with draining water and electricity and I am usually standing in there barefoot. I also started them on the grow formula from the fertilizers that my friend gave me. They are old, I am thinking I should buy new nutrients for the next grow.

I don't think my photos are loading so I am going to take a break posting. Pictures for now.
