it was 24:10 so the cab was with lights off for about 10 minutes...I hope that is not a problem to disturb
so you do have your lights going off at middnight, not midday white yea..........
so they come on @6am on all day, untill 12 middnight............ so the lights are on during the day...... the hottest part of the day ??.......
Why did you not go 18hrs from 6pm, light on in the evening, and during the night, when air is cooler ?? and lights go off at midday.............
Qs is there a reason you set it up this way white ???..................... 100% reversal of the normal pattern, with lights on at 6pm and off the following day at midday......... either way, you still have the noise in the room (If It Can Be Heard)............. you have noise all night, up to the off point at middnight................. at the moment
soon you wont be able to lift them in and out of the tent for pics white ok................... but 10mins after lights out for pics should be ok,....................... the latter after lights out the worse the photo interuptus stress level will be caused................
Ultimate 2 she has received defoliation this morning...Maybe i over defoliade her...I hope she makes more leaves...
you have taken way to many leaves of the plants white, i did say in the thread above, dont take anymore off........ they create the energy for growth, and as mentioned are a mobile nutrient store, which is retrieved by the plant in late flower............... new large fan leaves will not re grow white ok................ you are slowing the plants growth down removing so many light and energy factories.....
.......... dont remove any additional leaves from now on ok........ i dont remember instructing you to remove any leaves white................ defoliation is a wives tale,................... serves no purpose at all.........................it dose not happen in the wild !! so why would we cause stress to the plant, which can cause gender issues, which can start up at any point during the 100% culture period white ??............
Amnesia xxl...She is doing absolutely well
she is the most nute hungry of the 4.......... as she is a lighter green than the other 3............ she is under furtilized with nitrogen................ is why she is a lighter green.................. "one feed for all", will show up any nute greedy plants, when all the rest are bang tidy and the correct green color........................showing no nute burn, but are all a good color, except the greedy one !!.........................
For the "Nitrogen" greedy one, amnesia, you could make up a separate feed for her the amnesia xxl, with an elevated nitrogen content, and feed it for a week..............
your "Micro" has a N 2.0 / P2.4 / K0.1 ratio higher nitrogen in this
your B52 has a N 2.0 / 1.0 / 4.0 ratio higher nitrogen in this
make a feed up using micro & B52 ONLY.................... as it will give an elevated Nitrogen dose white ok = to micro + B52 NPK = "Combined Higher N Feed" = micro + B52 NPK combined = total N 4.0 / P 3.4 / K 4.1
INSTRUCTIONS; Re Low N Amnesia =
White'ty, give the amnesia a feed of this at Ec0.8 (nute only) + 0.3 bottled water = Ec total 1.1, give it to the amnesia for two consecutive feeds, then every other feed, untill she is greened up and in better color ok............... then revert back to the normal feed you will be giving the other 3.............
Critical slowly gets in the bloom phase...ALR its been 40 days....Is she going to finish normal??
sadly i do not see an abundance of femal pistills white,.................. in pic 6 of the critical close ups, i think there is a pistill at the back of the internode, but every internode should by now have a "Pair" of pistills either side of the 'Stipule"..................
below is a hermie feamle, that has not showed pistills, but has thrown a male "Pre-Flower" at the bract juntion white ok........ here is where you look.... if female either side of the stipules you will have a white hair = pistill = female sexed.......................
here is what "She" should look like = sexed female pistills.... the little pointed items next to the pistills coming out of the calyxes are the stipules......... see the pistils either side of the stipules........... = female
an easier way of showing it is, this pic, you can see how a calyx can be mistaken for a "Pollen sack" = male bolox white................
I am pretty sure the critical has gone critical male white mate, at day 40, and the other 3 at 12mm flowers and or larger.............................the critical is a "MALE" white mate sorry to say.............. nothing that you have done, could have stressed the plant, all environs stable bang on and good...................... no environ triggers have been given....................... nothing you have done...................... as i said previous, if you keep your nose clean with the environs,.................and you do get a gender issue, you know it is not due to you causing it via un stable environs or any other issues.......................
This is what we wil have to do White ok..............
there is no chance of the critical catching up to the other 3, as their flowers are much further down the line of development................ so we have two options; =
Option 1:
wait and see "When" it throws the male sacks................. The Dinafem Pre TransGender ! critical seems un decided at the mo, showing the odd pistill here and there......... we can wait till she throws a proper sex choice, which will be male, just to be sure............ as she is not sexed female "Or" male at the mo @day/40 !!!!!!!!! then chop it............. as it is not sexed at this late stage what point to keeping the "TransG" on any further,.................or
Option 2:
chop it now, as it has no chance of catching up to the others, and if the females next door get the idea there might be a male around.........= Pheromones............. they might get pre occupied with the possibility.......
chopping it down now, will give more "Spacial" room for the others to fill out into................and give more bud than would have been the case with 4..............
My advice =,
it wont catch up, with the others, even if it do go female................ so no point, as the "TransG" is so late, it has to come out now, is my opinion..................... chop it now before it do throw a large male event,........... pissing off the remaining 3 "Wholly" fully sexed females white.................chop it asap, put it down to what it is, a gene line that has, and dose carry the "Herm" gene.................... that has not been properly isolated via selection........ probably the result of using "Gibberelic Acid" to early.......... in the breeding, and or back crossing with weak herm pollen process...................
up to you white, wait for the bolox to appear = risk if you dont see them, eye's peeled 24/7
................ or chop it now as it wont catch up either way female or male !!..................... she is too late, to synchronize with the others during flower.................live and learn yea........ALR
CRITICAL CLOSE UP PHOTOS TO DETERMINE SEX
= MALE But UN-decided, as environ bang on, she male having trouble raising hormones for testicle development, or "It's Just A Freak"........................ or a bit of both !!!!!!!!! no good to us though...........
Personally, i have never seen a late un decided male before !!!!!!!!!!!!! that did not show female first !!! and then failed to show male either properly at day 40 !!...................... that must make it a rare event........... as usually, herms happen just after the 12/12 switch fems, or as the auto flowers just get to 10mm, this is when ethylene rises, and is the bio trigger for an event of gender should the genes be there........ late female and late male is a new one on me................... it has happened plenty of times though so i read......... but it's long odd's for a herm event, even longer odd's of a no show extremely late, late, male or female sexing !!
If you do chop it, and decide not to wait fore the bolox to show, to be sure, it was a herm and not a extremely late famale.................. just move the other 3 into the void !!..................... they will get much better light ingress into the LST'ed canopy's........
Addendum; What conclusions can be drawn from this ????????? what do we take away from this as knowledge ?/
The "Dutch Passion" genetics bred into the 2no Ultimate's, 1 & 2 are 100% right color, early sexed, no nute sensitivities, fastest to recover from the low Ph, have the largest canopy's, and are showing no deff's or other issues, love the nutrients at the correct bliss Ec, and are larger............... compare to, the other two plants.
The other two, one, the amnesia, is nute sensitive, and has smaller flowers at the same age as the ultimate's, although has a nice size paternal frame.................. And two the critical has, well a smaller frame, confused as to sex, and is also N greedy and nute sensitive,................. and is un sexed properly at day 40......... not a great catalogue, it could be a miss packed regular seed !!, did you buy direct from dinafem white ??............................
The moral is;......................... when you spend good dow on beans, buy the reliability, that is delivered though years of high class genetic isolation's................ that have isolated out un wanted genetic factors, consistently, this is the work of many years of pursuit of perfection from Henk van dalen Amsterdam Seed Company, the man discovered feminization, i think he knows how to breed out, and eradicate hermaphroditic tendency's from his base plant gene lines !!...................... buy "Gillette" is the moral of the story.......... get the scissors out and cut down that critical critical not xxl but "00000000000000000" = "0" xxl !!.........and 40 days, and 200ml of feed, 120-150ltrs of water, and grow medium "Wasted" time and dow.................and disappointment rolled into it too.......................
