- Thread starter Dogstar
- Start date
Week 6.5 day 9 of 12/12 Supercropped
wk 6.5 day 9 of 12/12 Supercropped (UNSEXED)
Supercropping has really restricted the height and encouraged the side branches, probably 12" less in height than the uncropped ones above.
Will add some height measurements later.

Week 6.5 sexing to date
To date 5 plants have shown sex, 2 females and 3 males.
Females
NHS 2
NHS 8
Males
NHS 1
NHS 3 (supercropped)

The remainder of the 12/12 crew should have been sexed by next report.
I think I will also repot females into slightly larger pots this week.

wk 7.5 report
All 10 plants under 12/12 have now been sexed.
5/10 females.
I have fed some biobizz grow @1ml/litre and bloom @1ml/litre, and repotted the two larger plants (2 & 8).
The two tall plants nos 2 & 8 have slowed down in stretch and will be put under 600w this week. I do have a potential problem with these two plants though - they were left outside in the sunshine this week and on one occasion didn't get put back into darkness until a couple of hours after schedule, and both have developed what I suspect are male flowers
I'll photo these later. I have clones of both these plants so will grow those out should the flowers be male. The other plants in the room are OK so I don't think it was caused by a light leak. It may be the strain is very light sensitive.
The 3 supercropped females haven't shown any sign of male flowers, but they are a couple of days behind the others developmentally. They weren't taken out into the sun this week. 2 of them have been put under 600w, the other is still under 400w.
The 5 outdoor plants have put on bulk this week, particularly the largest untopped plants at the rear which has increased height by 50% this week. I'm hoping to inspect them closely later today.
Photos to follow if the rain stops.

Week 8 Day 22 12/12 11th July
Two male sacs were taken off each plant 3 days ago, and none have been seen since.
As a precaution the plants have been kept in my pre-flower shed under 400w MH rather than moving them under a 600w HPS.
fed biobizz grow (1ml/litre) and Bloom (1ml/litre)
NHS 2 - 39.5" (grown 14.5" in last 12 days, was 17" @12/12) Stretch 2.3x
This is the lankier of the two

week 8 - supercropped plants x3 day 22 of 12/12
week 8 - supercropped plants x3 day 22 of 12/12
The 3 female plants that were supercropped have grown much more slowly than the uncropped plants and are about half the height, although with a broader canopy with more heads. The flower development is about 5-7 days behind the uncropped plants.
2 have been put under 600w HPS; the 3rd remains under 400w MH.
Will try to add photos this week.

Wk 8 - NHS 2 & NHS 8 moved to 600w HPS
This morning I decided to move NHS 2 & NHS 8 to my flowering room under 600w HPS.
They haven't shown any male flowers so I feel OK putting them in with a room full of flowering plants at different stages.
They will occupy a peripheral position in the growroom for the next week or 10 days.

Week 9 Outdoor crew
Everything looking good in the garden - some plants have shown sex, and the insect attack is abating slightly.
If anyone reckons they know the sex from the photos please jump in.
I'm quite optimistic that a couple of these will finish outside at 53N.
Cuttings to be taken this week.
NHS 7 - week 9 (SEXED AS FEMALE)
The runt has come through
