Hello everyone, smegal here, I started this grow about 4 1/2 weeks ago. I started with 6 seeds given to me from Preston at canna seed traders. I dropped them in water on March 7 2017. All came up save one. Then I planted them in 32 oz. Styrofoam cups and foxfarm soil. After a few days I learned that was a mistake and needed to plant them in bigger containers so I moved them into 5 gal. Buckets. They made the transplant without any stress , but I found one had gotten stuck in a hard peat pod. I didn't know if it would survive but replanted it anyway. It did but was growing slow. After a two weeks one plant showed signs of preflower but by week 3, I could see it was hermied and removed it. At the begininng of week 4 the runt showed signs of preflower still early, but i suppose that, and being so small was from being stressed in the pod . By the end of week 4 another plant was showing signs of being male. By this time I'm questioning the genetics as the seeds came from an individual rather than from a breeder. Maybe they'll all be hermied. That would suck! But then two more hit preflower but they were female. Yea! Three females out of 6 seeds. 50% right on the money. I put the male outside for now as I do want more seeds. After I collect some pollen I'll get rid of the male. Well that brings me up to date. I have three magnum skunks in preflower and one male outside. Also, in my grow area are two photos. Both Come from different weed. I call them idks because I'm not sure what strain they are, but one is a indica dominant and the other is a sativa dominant. The indica bleeds when it's cut and is to be my clone mother. The sativa is to be scroged right after the autos are done. Week 5 for the autos begins on tuesday. By the way I use cfls and organic soils and Compost tea for nutrients. My light is home made from stove pipe and 14 23w cfls. 7 5500k and 7 2700k bulbs. My grow room is a bathroom converted. I took the tub out and replaced it with a shower base. Soon it will be closed in, Changing the full bath I to a half bath. Then with a pocket door, and sliding bookcase to cover it, it will be hidden. Until then it's open.
