Placed another in bondage trying to keep the canopy even. It hurts my heart to do it. They are so pretty, thriving and outshining their sisters, then you tie them down and the just kind of blend in our even do not look as good at first.
On a positive note, the first three I tied down have exploded at the tip. Kind of looks like one of those handheld dusters or a trumpet. Incredible expansion at the tip.
I will get pics posted tonight.

Peroxide and Molasses
BTW, I have started adding on ounce of hydrogen peroxide to every gallon of water I give them.
Watering schedule is 2oz/plant day 1, 1oz/plant day 2, no water on day 3 and repeat. Even with 2 oz of water, the pots are very light 24 hours later so I do not think I am over watering, but shall see.
I also purchased some un-sulfured molasses but have not used it yet.

Hey Cede your plants are looking really good mate. I know what you mean about them not looking so good after you tie them down, think it's been about a week to 10 days since I did mine but they're starting to look a lot better now. I've had to tie down some of the leaves to get light to some of the new growth tips but they've really taken off, each plant has got 4 or 5 tips growing straight up, can't wait to see them covered in bud
So don't worry about tying them down, they'll be looking great before you know it!

Hey. Hudson
I was out of town for a couple of days and my plants underwent some serious changes. Basically a serious root bound condition developed. Until I have sexed them I do not want to put them in too large a container due to space issues. SO I am getting them into 2 liter ("litre" for Hudson) plastic bottles as a stop gap measure. I am also going to go ahead and start 12/12. I just want to get these things sexed and start taking clones from the females.
I just kinda of stumbled onto the root bound. I though I had been over watering them, so they didn't get any water for 2 days and the condition worsened. But they were not yellowing so I figured I would take the worst looking one out of its pot and check/ Looked like a coil of rope at the bottom. Not a bit of soil dropped.
I will get some pictures up to demonstrate. Other than that, everything going good, slow, but good.

Remember when it comes time to sex them, you will end up with only about half the plants you started, and free up space. If they are rootbound, even a potting-up to a slightly larger pot would help. Like if those are cottage cheese pots, maybe a yoghurt pot hahaha Seriously though giving the roots more room to breathe will do them good.

Thanks, Stinky. I have begun moving them to two liter soda bottles. This is providing twice the soil volume while maintaining the same foot print. I realize it isn't ideal, but hopefully it will last for another two weeks until I have removed the males. Then I will go to three gallon rectangular trash bins.

Looking good! What is with the runt? Was he planted at the same time? Try LST-ing in a small circle around the pot and once all the way around let it grow up and top it... well im not sure how big you are growing these so this may not be the best idea
keep it up!

Is this a HERM or a MALE?
Was out of town a while, wife watered for me and I came home to this. What do y'all think?

looks like a male, or a male-dominant hermie. try to get a better picture though - maybe I'm blind but I dont see any pistils at all. i'd trash it if I were you, seems like you have enough other plants that it wouldnt be worth the risk of pollinating all of them.
lookin good other than that though!

Thanks, Bomb. Makes since, I have read males will show first. It sure is a pretty flower on top, I was hoping for a hermie I could just clip all the balls off. Before i chop it I will take some better pictures. I could sure use the bucket it is in, as well as the space it is taking up, just hard to bring myself to kill it.

Male, Herm or Hope?
My camera just will not zoom in with any kind of usable focus.
But check these out. Just want to confirm this plant needs to go.
Again, I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures.

BTW, none of the others have exhibited any "genitalia" that I can discern. I will try to get a pic of entire crop posted latter when I have more privacy.
I have transplanted 8 into 2 gallon waste bins. 4 are in 2 liter bottles. As males are removed I will transplant the bottles into the bins.
They all seem to be very healthy after recovering from their root bound condition.
In addition to massive LST, I pruned them and this may have stunted their growth, but they seem to be recovering nicely.

different methods
regarding the above posted pics:
1 has only been tied, not topping or fimming
1 has been fimmed
the rest were topped
the topped plants have all developed two min shoots at the top plus a third from lower on the stalk due to lst.
the fimmed plant has 3 main shoots at the top plus 2 shooting from the base of the stem.
I am using SCROG principals in my lst process.
Comments, suggestions are encouraged. Thanks.

Well, I moved the boy outside. Could not bring myself to kill him. He was just to healthy and thriving for me to chop him. But it did free up another large container and some space. I can't wait for the next grow from clones, no more worrying about sexing and space planning.
