neville *Mango

I 'd wait a week or two then see if they start growing normal n faster.
If they keep growing like (weird looking leaves) n keep growing very slow I d toss em.

Hi ,
Do you think i should discard the ugly ones?

This is from my first pack of Mns , i would be affraid of missing something (pheno) but these really look weak and i dont like having too much diference between the plant overall.

These are 2week old but the other 10sister are looking much better!

I agree with L33t.

Keep growing them for another week or so. Those are high priced seeds, and difficult to get. May as well see what they do since you have room.

You can put smaller plants on boxes, upsidedown pots, whatever to make canopy height even with the larger plants.

Hi Aktarus :)

How are your plants doing? Are those 10 plants you talked about still doing OK?

Any change of the 3 plants that were looking not so good?

Hi SF ;
I left the house for a week so i hope they're doing good , they got some food before i left ,canna bio vega .

They will go one more week in Veg ; then re-pot in 3L. and 12/12 light and once sexed go into 11L pot till end :)

I toped the 3 biggest one to see what happen , i still have the 3 ugly ones but i dont have too much hope for them ,if i have the space in the flowering room next week i 'll keep them .

Hi Aktarus,

In the old days i was used to keep runts for 3 weeks or a month... because sometimes they catch up :)

But after that period of time, if they didn’t show any signs of improvements, I would discard them.

You have 10 healthy seedlings. With MNS genetics that’s more than enough to make a happy camper :D
 
Hi i will flip them into flowering and some 3L pot at the end of the week , this is crazy weed , very nice and healthy :)
 
Hello , they are going into flowering 11/13(good?) tomorow, in larger tent with MH 400w and bigger pot :)

I need some advice on how to make some seeds on all my femalle but not too many :)

Pure sats and sat dominant plants like the NM perform great with shorter lighting daycycles , they finish faster and usually they become less leafy and with more compact flowers , ideally these plants need a 15/10 or 13/11 veg and a 11/13 flowering cycle or similar , to be grown as their ancestors do in their natural environment that is closer to the equator.

As for seedmaking , are you gonna use a selected specific male or are you gonna do an open pollination , with all males and all females ?

Eitherway you need to let the male/s in the flowering room till the first male flowers are just about to open, by the looks you 'll just know it when the time has come to remove these males in to a separate room just for them. Dont worry if a male flower or two open before you remove it no big deal . There you keep harvesting pollen in the males room and then with a paint brush you collect the harvested pollen and apply it on/over the pistils of the calyxes you want to become pollinated , each calyx is a potential seedmaker , each calyx has 2 pistils emerge from it , as soon as the calyx gets pollinated the pistils will become red and die back as their job is done (to transport the pollen down inside ). You selectively pollinate manually as many buds / branches you want (with fans turned off so the pollen doesn't fly to unwanted areas and some buds get accidentally pollinated.) When done , afterwards you must spray the plants with water to kill any loose pollen grain thats left lingering in the air so again when fans are back on you don't have any pollination accidents.

you're welcome aktarus

it will be fine to switch lights tho I d recommend you use hps now for mid flowering and switch to mh last 3-4 weeks or so to finish em.
 
i was planning to use the MH for having a controlled strech ,and after the HPS to finish the bud and make them fat :)

Does it sound ok to you ?

I guess i will follow your advice and switcth to the HPS now and keep the MH for the end .
I dont want to mess anything , i dont know sativas at all ;)

Little update sorry for pic quality ; its from my cheap EEPC asus .

They been re poted in 3L. 2 days ago and flipped to flowering 11/13hr at the same time .
Went for the HPS , MH will be used at the end.

They are 12 plant + 1 still small but waiting for sex to decide to keep or not .

Soil for re poting was all mix from bio bizz, first soil was canna so its both mixed now .

Some bio vega nute were added for the first time .

HR at 45% temp: 22-25c at day.

The new sized pot and soil hold alot of water so they will need about 3 or 4 day before next watering to dry a bit .

ALL are topped , 3 are "Twin" topped to get 4 stem ;)

They will spend 2 or 3 week waitinf for sex then hopefull 6 nice girl will go into 11L pot for blooming :!

Hi aktarus,

They look lovelly and well under control so far :)

Repoting (as you did) will make them more explosive in growth... just keep them healthy.

Peace.
 
Hi Aktarus!

Your plants are looking very good. Really nice neat grow setup as well.

I suhope your luck with sex is better than mine. I had only 3/12 plants be females :mad:

But that sometimes happens.

Keep us posted on your progress.
