I just indulged and bought myself a 5 feminzed seed pack of Emerald Traingle Super Sour OG which is: (Blueberry x Sour Diesel x OG Kush) x Lost Coast OG. I also got a single Barneys Farm Blue Cheese, a legendary strain you guys must have heard about, which is: Blueberry x Big Buddha Cheese.

Because the seeds were on their monthly special offer (can't say where apart from the fact it's a main seedband in the UK - probably one of the more popular ones) I got these freebies:

Dinafem Seeds OG Kush
World of Seeds Medical Collection Northern Lights x Big Bud Feminized
TH Seeds MK Ultra Feminized
Delicious Seeds Fruity Chronic Juice Feminized
Eva Seeds Veneno (poison) Feminized
G13 Labs Blueberry Gum Feminized
Emerald Triangle Seeds Bubba 76 (their most worked on strain)
Kannabia Seeds Auto Hobbit Feminized
Dinafem Seeds Cheese

Not bad for what I paid!! You'd be surprised at how little. I love the fact that these seed companies do one really good offer once a month where for a minimum spend of sorry I don't know how I wrote that in there - I was high!! as in this case, you get a shitload of free seeds and get to try some really interesting new strains as fem seeds (no point in doing regs if you're sowing single seeds). The Dinafem OG Kush, T H Seeds MK Ultra Feminized and particularly the Bubba 76 are the strains I'm most eager to try. If I like any of the strains I'll definitely buy some seeds of that strain for potential breeding projects, but will definitely keep clones from the freebie seed plant to make mums.

Are those female flowers ?

Looking at the plants in real life they look like males but comparing the photos to other photos it looks like a female.

Also one of the Y-Splitters off ebay arrived, still no sight of the second one, but it gives me the hope that the second one will arrive sometime soon :)
Crazy chinese letters on the outside xDD


Have a nice day. =D
 
^ impossible to tell. That's not a flower, it's just a bunch of small leaves. If you show a photo of the area where pre-flowers form maybe I'll be able to say, but sex doesn't show until around 6 weeks post germination or thereabouts usually (sometimes a bit less).

Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll switch the lights in just a few days. I will have someone with no growing experience watering them when I'm gone, but what worries me is that my timer for lights is gonna fail for some reason (it happens from time to time, like once per grow or two). That's why I'm hesitant to start flowering when I'm not watching them constantly. No pre-flowers yet either.

I would go to your local supermarket and buy a dirt cheap timer. You can buy them for the same price as a packet of cigarettes, so they're not exactly expensive. Grasslin is the best, but is a bit more expensive.
 
The plants have been under 12/12 for about one week take or give one or 2 days.

I tried to get a better pic but still my cameras macro function isn't very good :/
I'm starting to think both plants turn out male

thanks for all help i got here in this thread ! :D
 
The pre-flower bit is too blury so it's not possible to give an answer with any certainty unfortunately. Can you see one or two 'hairs' coming out of the pre-flower?

Are you sure you're using the macro function properly? It's the button with the flower on it, unless your camera is different.

My camera is a good canon still a bit older model about 6 years old, pretty sure im using everything right.
some stick out pistils but i cant tell if its one or two really :S. Now they are sleeping anyways. Will report back tomorrow.
probably things clear themselves up within the week anyways.

I would be extremly sad if they were 2 males because they are both doing so good (especially the bigger one has like 5-6 good budsites LST'd to a even canopy.
It's really crazy how much emphaty goes into those lovely little plants. Sometimes when I'm alone i lie next to the open pc case for an hour or so starring at the plants haha
 
Took my time and turned of that shitty shitty Auto focus :'D Now things are working fine, figured its just the auto focus messing up every shot

Sorry for the double posting =S
 
Well then I'm off to germinating :/

makes me sad I cant even keep the plant anywhere as a sight because it will spill its pollen all over the room making it impossible to grow cannabis anywhere near my room in the near future :(
 
Yeah that's definitely a male. No doubt about it.

When you grow regular seed that's the risk you take unfortunately - it's part of the game I dare say. I would buy some feminized seed if I were you.
 
I have to replan things now. Originally the plant was planned to be finished at the end of february early march. Afterwards i wanted to use my PC for vegging a couple of seedlings for the outdoor season.
But I want atleast have a harvest from that pc so things will be delayed about a month :/
 
Yea they were really good looking and healthy although they had a rough time (first week under 10W inadescnet bulb etc.) but still came out great during veggie :'D
Luckily I have 5 more seeds of this unstabilized ghetto cross, maybe there is a winner in them =D would be awesome to get into breeding to stabilize that strain.
 
^ chances are you should get 2-3 females with luck (law of averages).

If you wanted to stabilize a strain for a breeding project you would need hundreds, if not thousands of plants and so a large greenhouse really would be needed or a massive indoor operation. That's why a lot of the breeders operate in countries like Spain where laws are more lenient and enforcement is relaxed. A really good knowledge of breding would also be needed, which would take a long time to obtain, but anything's possible.

I'm planning on doing some breeding myself, but it is going to require moving to abroad and thousands and thousands of pounds worth of investment. It probably won't even get started for a couple of years as well. In the meantime I'm going to be doing some preliminary crosses using landrace strains outdoors. I'm collecting himalayan and thai landraces, as well as other local strains from different countries. There's this one strain I've got in particular which is really interesting. It's called Kumaoni and the seeds are the largest I've ever seen in my life. They're literally the size of large BB pellets (about 5mm long).

yea the idea of moving somewhere to professionaly engineer cannabis plants is thrilling.
Thinking about studdieing biology or something like that. I'm going to be done with school in like 3 months so its time to make decisions ;)
 
You might want to look into botany or horticulture instead if you want to incorporate the growing aspect into your education. Check out the Oasksterdam cannabis university as well, that looks pretty cool (although I haven't looked into their courses myself I admit).

I think theres more money in the cannabis gold rush these days than in most other industries. If I could start my own dispensary I would.
 
When I'm moving out from home I'll settle for a two floor grow cab at first. my parents are very tolerant (my mum even looked at the plant sometimes etc.) but they wouldn't tolerate a multiple 100 watt hid light system and shit because that would look like growing to deal weed to them. now they're fine with all this "i only want some tiny bit for myself to save some money and have a fun hobby" stuff :'D

I guess you could harvest it and do some cooking with it, or do some alcohol/butane extraction.
