Let's Grow Some Super Skunk!!!!!!

[Mazzariman]

Beware the runt. Maybe she wants to be outdoors. Looks like she's coming around nicely though. So cute. I know what I'd do, but with no idea of your situation and area etc., I won't advise on that. I have no experience with the associated indoor soils/mediums, watering and feeding schedules. Most others here do. Hope they have viable options for this one. With a fighting chance she just might surprise you.

F2 is now 2 weeks old and I have figured what to do with her. I've taken some clones and when they finally have roots I'll start her in bloom with them to not only see gender but to finish them also. So F2 will go full cycle unless it's a male, then it dies.

[Mariojuana]

F1 is 3 weeks old and M1, 2, and 3 are 3 weeks old also so I jumped and cut clones off of them. I put my root powder in a pill bottle to keep the rest that I don't use fresh.

[Mariojuana]

This is the clone aftermath and the medium was bone dry so I guess they're root bound. Now I will water them every other day to keep the roots healthy until the sexual identity reveal.

[Mariojuana]

So here's the clone lineup and all labeled according to corresponding parent for easy reference. I hope they're all female but if there's a male I hope it's super bushy, smells strong, and has a lot of pollen sacks and then I'll keep the pollen but if not I'll toss it. So this concludes my posts for 5 days and I'll let these plants recover and then I'll post how the clones are doing.

[Mazzariman]

Sounds like a good plan Mariojuana. Very nice work. Check out my purple male on the post "A Show of Hands". I used him to dust some lower branches on all my gals. R.I.P. Purple Dude! He died peacefully in his sleep after a busy night!

[Mariojuana]

I saw your male and he died doing what he loved the most....... Fertilizing females!!!!

[Mariojuana]

So it's been 5 days since my last post and my 4 topped plants have recovered and the internodes have grown a bit. As far as watering goes, F1 to the very left, it's cup is very light but M1,2, and 3 look dry but when lifting their cup it feels half full so I'll go another day and then check them out. Little F2 is getting bigger but her cup takes about 5 days to dry out, so her root system is not well developed. F1 has to be watered about every other day and sometimes every 3 days. M1,2, and 3 needs every 3 to 4 days.

[Mariojuana]

So left to right is F1 then M1,2, and 3 cutting and the tray is really wet in there so I'm slowly opening the vents to allow moisture to escape because if I don't I'm afraid the cutting stems will rot and I've seen where it delays root production if the cuttings stay too wet. This is day 5 in the clone dome so maybe in 5 or 9 more days hopefully I'll see roots or new growth as clones. I will keep hardening the plants till I can remove the dome completely in 4 more days.

[Mariojuana]

Call me crazy but have the cuttings grew some since 5 days ago? Or did the humidity plump the leaves with moisture? You can look back at cutting M3 and see the sun leaf was barely over the cup and now 2 inches over it.

[Mariojuana]

Ok F1 on the left is 4 weeks old and on the right is F2 at 3 weeks old and is looking a lot bigger than when it started. The temperature in my grow tent is at 90F during the day and 88F at night and I keep my RH at around 60 to 65%.

[Mariojuana]

Cutting update: Cutting M1 has a root coming out of it's cup and now it has become a clone. I didn't see any roots at the bottom of the other cups so in 2 more days I'll have hardened these plants so then I'll permanently remove the dome. Hopefully the roots will grow faster as the medium starts to dry. Not bad for day 7 from cutting.

Great job with clones

[Mariojuana]

Ty SoOrbudgal, I was biting my lip on this one but they all cloned and now they're in my Flower tent so I can see their sex in 2 weeks I hope.

[Mariojuana]

So I have a smallie 4X2 Vivosun tent with 2 Two foot T-5 4 bulb fixtures with 4 isunlight Agroled bloom bulbs in each fixture. I have clip fan on the right and I have an ipower 6 inch inline fan with speed controller and an ipower carbon filter attached and this thing rocks even at the lowest speed for stank control. The left bottom vent is open to bring fresh air opposite of the carbon filter to vent it out. What a breath of fresh air.

[SoOrbudgal]

Very nice set up for clones and vegging.

[Mariojuana]

Ok these are the clones and F2 and I bet you can't pick out F2. Let me give you a hint, she's on the top row. The only reason I'm sending them in flower so quickly is to find sex so I don't kill the mothers from under watering them. I don't want to transplant the parent plants because I don't want to waste any soil on males. I can keep the parent plants for 2 weeks and these plants should let me know what they are.

[SoOrbudgal]

Good for you taking cuts and going for it

[Mazzariman]

Looking good! I'd go with top right for F2. Glad it pulled through.

[Mariojuana]

Top left and F2 is actually a Male. Yup got plenty of balls.

[Mariojuana]

Sex isn't showing for F1 so I'll update later. Monday will be week 2 of flower,

[Mariojuana]

F2...........F2...............F freaking 2...........is a MALE!!!!!!!!!! Gobs of BALLS! Balls everywhere!! F2 is a male. The bottom of F2 has branches and F2 wasn't trained so I'm going to collect his pollen.

[Mariojuana]

If you enlarge M1 and look at the very top you'll see pistol hairs so M1 is a Female.
