Take a look at the base of the caylx, if she’s heavy colored she’ll show there first. The preflowers on the dark girls show about a week after they show sex. The base will start to shift in color.

Looking at those fans on her she’s showing the “fleur de lis” pattern. Where the main finger sticks straight out and the rest curl backwards to the stem. I commonly associate this trait with color.

Her big leaves are almost the size of my hand, already.

Ok @Dichoti you should see some larger fans this week if things are still going well. The fan size is indicative to that line. If given room they’ll get as big as your face. But that was seen in 25 gallon pots.

How are they doing. The lighter color over all of her green indicates the larger sati leaning pheno.

Well, things are moving on. The males were spewing pollen at 31 days. I had no idea! The tallest was 30 inches. I didn't want seeds, so I just gave her the whole tent.

Got a little taste of the males on this round did t ya. They are usually faster than the females if you let him rock in a proper environment he would be loaded for the female. They tend to build bulk first and start spewing early. No color on them tells me I still have work to do, and that’s ok and a good thing.

To those in coco, I’m not shocked you have a higher female ratio. I’ve worked to increase the female to male ratio in hot soil. So ideally you should see higher females in inert and soiless/fertless mediums.

Well done all they are all looking fantastic.

The 2 males in one pot were in the KIS soil mix and it may have been hit since I wasn't sure how much to mix in. They sure were happy boys! Thanks for the insight FD

Everything is still going well. Been busy with my wife, keeping an eye on her case of Bell's Palsy, but it appears the mix of medication and homemade whole plant oil have it under control and reversing, So everything is good, And I can get back to spending hours in my tent. I'll post a few updates later on this evening.

Lol yeah took a lot of photos and edited a bunch wasn’t sure where I started and stopped. These things r beasting looing good. Still no confirmed sex. One is noticeable slower it took longer to sprout and is quite a bit smaller but still healthy and thick stemmed so would produce but if the others r girls it will get culled. I’m hoping for sex by Thursday (update day). Out of the two big ones the one that jumped out first is now being overtaken by the other. Big leaves thick stem tight node spacing. Branching appears to be very strong as well. Thick little branches seeing this with other plants I think may have something to do with more blue in this 4K light. I usually run 3500k 4K has quite a bit more blue then. The 3500. I have a feeling whichever is chosen will get plenty big and push the limits in a 3 gal pot that might not be a full 3 gal. Very happy so far to say the least.
