Kind of upset righ now. Ordered feminised Seedsman seeds from the Attitude and so far my two best looking plants are showing signs that they are males. Is it too early to tell? They will be 21 days from seed on Saturday. I know buying feminised isn't 100% guarnteed, but out of the six seeds I planted 2 may be males? WTF? And let me not forget to menion that one of the Auto Great Whites didn't even sprout! So that's 1 GW that didn't germ and 1 that may be a male. From what I read Seedsman was suppose to be top notch. I planted another 6 seeds the other day of which 5 have popped so far. Hope I have better luck with these.

Oh, and I have been trying to take pics of the 2 possible bastards in question but my camera wont focus in that close. This is not my day!
 
sorry to hear you are having a rough day... did you start in pre-ferted soil? (like FFOF) pre-ferted soil tends to bring on about 80% males... which might account for your 2 from fem seeds. hows your soil ph and temps?
hang in there.. we'll get you rockin bro!
 
I got 5 free auto assasin, 2 herm'd one was male and one was the keeper female. go figure.

Go roll a nice one, or pack a fat bowl, :smokebuds:

Could be worse.. they could all grow hair's and balls.. Or the seeds could not have come at all. LOL.. i am probably not helping any.. :no:

Temps are 83 lights on and 74 lights off. RH is between 25% and 30%. Soil is ProMix BX which to my understanding has no nutes in it. I gave them there first feeding at 17 days from seed. Not sure what my soil ph is but always water with 6.3-6.4 water with a dab of Superthrive. Light schedule is 20/4 with 1000 watt MH.

And, no Bailer, you are not helping right now! LOL!
 
check your ph runoff but everything else sounds good except nutes a little late... first light feeding of grow / veg should be 7 days... here... Fd's fert schedule should give you a decent guide:

what i mean is that not all autos are the same lol
I have been growing the same genetic line for over a year now
and they all seem like they really like my fert schedule.
This is what i doi break it down as follows
First off let me talk about what i use as ferts. I have a 4 part system that i use and most of this is in the brain so please bare with me as i share this one.
I use FF grow big (hydro formula) Tiger Bloom and then two tea variations. One is high in N for veg and the other is high in Phosphorus when its time to flower.
I apply these through out the grow. I use the FF to get it started.
then i move to the teas and then back to the FF and then back to the teas
So i break it down like this:
FF GB is 3Tbsp/1Gal for heavy feedings. So in my mind this is more than enough for our fave friends. So it states that 2tbsp/1gal is for normal feedings so i use this as my base number. After that i break it down into 1/4
at 7 days i start like this
Day 7 1/4 dose to a gal
Day 14 1/2 dose to a gal + 8oz of N rated tea
Day 21 1tbsp GB and then 1/4 of TB (bringing in the TB)
Day 28 1/2 TB + 8oz of Phosphorus rated tea
Day 35 1.5 tbsp TB to a gal
Day 41 2tbsp of TB and 8oz of Phosphorus rated tea
Then Flush till finish unless it needs something at the end.
I think that this is everything that i do like i said i am not sure as this is all in my head. If the plants demand more that i give more this is just something to go by. I usually do not swap in clean water feedings at all over the fert program. I just use the jug then its gone. Now if i start to see over feeding or lockouts ill flush.
But if i keep my water on point i never usually see a lock out or toxicity.
Hope this helps


-- as far as the males... shit happens... use it to your advantage, isolate it and save some pollen so you can make more seeds.
hope your day perks up bro
sending good karma
 
Yeah, I held off on the nutes because they were looking so good and weren't showing signs of needing to be fed. They still look great just those damn footballs. Looking closer at my second Kush plant it looks to have male traits as well. The two Blues however are looking to be female. Could it be genetics since all are in the same enviroment under the same conditions?
 
could be... would'nt be too hard to make a mistake femizing seeds as well... all it takes is the WRONG pollen sneaking in...
 
I knew I should of paid a little more and went with short stuff or lowlife. Actually thinking of giving the Dr.Greenthumb Iranian Auto a try.

Take the photo from further away..then Crop it...to the bit you want...

And, no Bailer, you are not helping right now! LOL!

:crying:

I've heard that saying the seed IS feminised does not guarantee Females..
But for the price they charge for them compared to Normal seed..(3x..)
I Think it is a bit of a cheek

Have a great weekend....:smoke:
 
Well, I've come to realize the value of males since I've been around you and the others here at AFN Wiz! lol

Still there is something nice about a femizined... to be able to pick a spot and drop some seeds and come back later and have som nice sensi... I feel for you zx... but no worries... you'll get through and you'll lean something (at least one) along the way.

:)
