Cool Shake...Hope it's workin' out for ya...Took a look at your grow but couldn't find the transplant pics...

OK, I'm back home...Left a little teary eyed as usual,(I know,I'm a wuss,lol!!!)Cool chick and I'm missing her alot already...

I'll be transplanting to 5 gallon pots today(10/3),after I buy more water...I'm also gonna switch the 400WATT system to a 600WATT...They'll veg 3 to 5 more days under a 600WATT MH Conversion bulb which will give this grow a total of 52-54 days veg...They'll be flowered with a 600WATT HPS and T-5 side sup lighting...

looking lovley DT..

im gonna try this bog method on my next grow. you should have some nice big fat buds by the time santa comes

EvilCartman · #30 (**permalink**) Oct-10-2009, 15:14

Sweet! Came upon your grow in time for the main event.

Just scanned your other logs...You get some kick-ass results.

I didn't get all the specs on the space, looks about maybe 4 foot square? How much side lighting are you using, are those 4-bulb fixtures?

Gotta comment on the transplant method, never seen that before, looking at your plants tells me it's a good method, though. I'll definitely be adopting that!

I'm in for this thread! Got some LA Woman on the way from Attitude. It'll be cool to get a look at what she does for you.

Shovelhandle · #31 (**permalink**) Oct-10-2009, 18:18

yeh, I see in the photos the BOG transplant. Looks very good. and the plants themselves are nice.

Appreciate ya sayin' so EvilC...Thankyou...My space is approx 3'x3'x8'...The lights are four tubers but I usually only use two in each if growin 2 plants...I'll be using four in each this time as you'll read about in a minute...This transplant style will give a better yield...

Mind if I cry on your shoulder Shov,lol...Feel like shit to have to report this but I got my first hermie ever from the first THSeeds bean I ever planted...Nothing against THSeeds as this is the chance a grower takes when growin' (fems)...Needless to say,I'm pretty bummed,but as they say,the show must go on...

The MK Ultra was removed from the grow area and destroyed at "lights on" of 5th day flower...It couldn't possibly be mature enough to have pollinated could it???Male flowers(balls) were still undeveloped...

The L.A Woman now has the area to herself and is pretty stinky at first week flowered...Wish I would've known...I would've vegged her a little longer and used a bigger pot,lol...

OK everybody...The show will go on...Gave ya the bad news first...The good news is I got called back to work(without goin' on the list),and start tomorrow...Workin' 3:00PM to 11:00PM and I'm once again the steward...

L.A Woman 1st week flowered...

sorry for the loss...i cant believe it hermied so fast! luckily it did it earlier then later...i would lst that remaining plant to death to fill that canopy now! good luck dt!

irydyum · #34 (**permalink**) Oct-12-2009, 22:41

I got 3 hermies out of 5 femmed on the widow i just did from greenhouse. Back to mother nature's way for me, I trust not in the femmed phenomenon anymore.

Just curious, but did you ever consider using reverse or anything once you saw that it was hermie? I would have, but mine didn't hermie till like week 7 which was strange. At least that's when I saw nanners. Didn't end up with many beans in the harvest tho. Maybe 25 or so.

Best of luck to the LA Woman!!

disrupt86 · #35 (**permalink**) Oct-12-2009, 22:49

i cant wait 2 see these finish up,i got a free beeeee on one la woman and i would like 2 now what to expext

To tell you the truth killa,I don't know if it was a hermie or just an all and out male...I saw tiny puffs of leaf at the nodes with something even smaller next to it that when looked through a magnify glass,looked like it could become a nanner if left to grow...Didn't look right man...
I appreciate the wise advice and will take it into concideration...If anything,I might LST the main cola and watch the rest compete to be dom while I side sup the shit out of it...THANKS Killa!!!

I hear ya irydyum...I've only grown (fem) beans since I started growin',(about 5 years now)...Many reasons for this,the main ones bein' time,room,and the amount of plants I wanna have goin' at a time...Never had a problem before this and have been not only pleased but amazed as well at the quality and quantity I've grown...

A guy wrote the following on the same grow thread I have going at THCfarmer...

DTR - Mate, sorry to hear of your MK Hermies, but mine did too....it seems the entire lot are hermies. I should have warned you but I figured you already knew. Don't bother with the rest of the pack, they're all shit...

Made me feel a little better,lol!!!As I've said,I have no ill will towards THSeeds as this is the chance a (fem) grower takes when growing with this shortcut...I wouldn't have went with the reverse...My first instinct was to get it the fuck outta there,lol!!!

Thanks for the KIND words and hopefully the L.A Woman will still be a decent show...

Dang. Sorry to hear about the MK, that's a drag. It's a good thing you like variety, it would have *really* sucked if they were *both* the MK!

I wonder how widespread this is? Going by the excerpt above, from the other forum, there could be a whole lot of not too happy customers out there. If there is a whole batch of seeds that are bad and THSeeds isn't doing something to correct the situation, well, it doesn't make me wanna run out and buy their product.

Well, here's hoping for a plump and juicy L.A. Woman!

Like the Randy Newman song says, "I LOVE L.A.!!"

Very widespread in the Femenized seed lines. I think it really depends on the methods the breeders use to create the fem seeds. Some force hermies via stress, some use some silver solution as a foliar to force male flowers, and I'm sure there are other methods.

I'm not sure which one of these leads to the best end product, but I think since most fems are made with hermie pollen (one way or the other) that most of them will have the hermaphrodite trait in the genetics. It's just the gamble you take for the guarantee of no males.

Thanks for the info, haven't really done any research into the Fem stuff, I thought they were pretty stable, consistent. I thought wrong.

Haha, the fem seed biz...what a racket. "No guarantee it'll be a female,... but it won't be a male"!

I was thinkin' on my next order a bunch of fem "singles" would be a great way to diversify the genetics, affordably. <shrug> First, think I'll see what the four beans I have now do.

EnhAnceD · #40 (**permalink**) Oct-16-2009, 11:31

Hey DT. NICe looking L.A, Mine is still a wee little one, but I just got my new light and they all should be on their way.

I was wondering tho, Why did you not plant the whole root ball all the way in the dirt, isnt letting the roots out at the air, letting them get sunlight, i dunno, bad haha. Lemme know b.c im curious, never seen anyone do that. Sorry as well to hear about ur hermie. My first grow, only one female and she hermied on me wayyyyy late, maybe 1-2 weeks left of flower, small small ass beans, in no way made the bud any worse, just a few little pops here and there when smokin, but I wasnt able to find nanners anywhere. U shoulda kept her, let the nanners fill out and saved some, then gotten a nice fem strain and pollinated her with the L>A woman to make some sweeet sexy fem seeds for the next go around.

EnhAnceD · #41 (**permalink**) Oct-16-2009, 12:22

well i just read threw this again and found my answer. That is interesting and actually makes sence, Im gonna try it on 1 of my mothers and possibly my clones. I was wondering tho, You said jack47 is a shorter plant I have about 4 ft in height, would u suggest I top or fimm the strain?

headshake · #42 (**permalink**) Oct-17-2009, 00:00

sorry to hear about the herm DT.

Totally agreed man...Like I said it's the first time I had a prob with (fem) beanz but this is the chance that I take with this shortcut...

Understood man...The (fem) beans I've done with no probs are-

Dutch Passion

Sweet Seeds
and hope to add DNA to this list shortly

Glad you got your transplant answer...
I'm not into breeding so I'm not lookin' for pollen or males...
I have a friend SOLID from across the pond who said that his jack47 didn't respond as he had hoped to toppin'...Trust me,they'll stay short...

Appreciate it Shake...Like I said to Killer,I'm not positive if it was a hermie or male...Very few small pistols that I saw were discolored and could swear it was gonna grow balls in the near future...Definately didn't look right to me...

Nice! It looks like she's enjoying the space, it appears as though she's filled out pretty well. Looks pretty close to your sup lights.

Thanks for sharing, good to know. Definitely something to keep in mind when perusing the catalogs.

I've just ordered a bunch of different (fem) beans, with any luck I'll add to the "good" list.

Good Growin'

As long as you know the gamble a fem grower takes with this shortcut...
My next grow is gonna be SweetSeeds BlackJack...I also would like to try a Kiwi (fem) strain such as MakoHaze in the near future...

Thanks Evil...

do you flush using molasses? im asking because im looking for some advice on using it.

EvilCartman · #50 (**permalink**) Oct-28-2009, 14:17

That Lady looks so happy, ya just know all that greenery wants to pump out some big ol', sweet, sticky, bouquets.

Did you happen to note the height when you made the flip? Just trying to get an idea on the stretch.

It's so nice to see a pic of such an obviously thriving plant. This was a breath of fresh air after cruising through the "plant problems" threads.
