How’d you determine that? I’ve heard of the technique for sure but for much more mature plants. I’m curious now, because I left seedlings under 12/12 for 2 days and experienced zero showing of sex. Are your other plants throwing pistols?

Fresh forest floor after a nice rain? That’s how I’d describe it AM I close?

Yes sir! Just like that… I have no idea how this year’s plants are going to react to this new soil.

I’d be interested in what your Brix levels will be ? Any interest in pursuing that idea?

Yes sir! Just tell me what to do. I figured my brix levels are high from the minerals in my soil. My plants survived 2 hard frosts last year

You may not even have to resort to insecticide this year!

That would be awesome
Ya that early season snow we had in September last year… I think I messed them up more trying to cover them up then if would of just snowed on them!

Absolutely. It’s the weight on the buds. Freezing ice would have been worse

I am curious about Brix levels as well. I had been hearing about them for a while now suggesting health of plant and how high ones will keep bugs away, but then in that “redox” video I posted above I think that guy was saying something about brix not being important?

We will see. It would be so cool if I didn’t have to spray for bugs

So I don’t really know 100%, and I don’t know if they are showing pistils (it wouldn’t be this lil growth would it:)
So basically, I think what happened was maybe they got around 10 or 11 hours of light, and then further, right after that, they may have gotten up to 16 hrs of darkness, def at least 10 hrs… and for the first 5 or 6 hours of that darkness, the humidity went up high to like maybe 80% while it may have cooled down to 70F, then the RH went down to maybe 62% when the night controllers kicked on.
None of that was intended, just how the settings created it from my controllers as the exhaust fan comes on to cool (didn’t need to since no light) so humidity went up and heat naturally went down.
Could have also been since that male was the most stressed prior to that.
And this is still a guess on my part that it is male, but that’s only cause I’m uneducated a bit in that department.

You need more time. It’s not showing sex yet. Keep it under 12/12

The one defiantly has something up with it, probably is a male, based on the stretch compared to the others, but I’ve never seen it that early, is all. I don’t think it’s in flower, but it is weird.

Brix is awesome, but I’d still hit them with some jwa once a week, jic.
Edit: here it’s bt also after the buds starts swelling. Dang caterpillars.

Apparently I missed some of it also. 
I didn’t know he didn’t have any nutes in his soil. It looks like as long as I don’t go overboard, it should be OK. Glad we have reikos around here to keep us lined out.
