Waiting for the water to settle. I’m going to give it 24 hours for the chlorine. In the meantime I got one of both the GSN & BC in coco. They are backup incase the ones in DWC end up being male.

I grow in soil so i would count day one the day I actually put them in soil from the paper towel. But I dont usually go by days. I go by what the plant looks like. And how tall they are getting vs how much room is in the tent and how big I want them to be at harvest. Normally ends up being around 6-ish weeks from when they are put in dirt. Thats on avg.
but to answer your question, if I was counting days, I would start day one as soon as the helmet comes off.

By the way @LilJonB
The last harvest with BC was exactly 10 weeks from 12/12 switch. I am waiting a little longer this time. Shes at 10 1/2 weeks now. So it will be intereting to see the diff in the final product. I still have some of the top colas from that grow to compare. Stay tuned for an updated strain report.

I know i said I dont count days. And I really dont. I do look at the calendar and compare times to harvest versus how many weeks from switch.

That’s pretty much why I count. Just notes to compare to for future grows.

That’s funny you say that. So true. It is hard work. I really don’t start calling a plant a plant until it stops reaching. When it starts it first set of good leaves. The first two rounds or levels. Nodes I think the term is for them. When I do crack seeds I look at how they pop. Side pops are males most of the time. I’m not the Dr. on the subject. Just what I have read and seen.

Your sayings the ones that pop from the side like a claim are males?
I’m still planting and moving stuff around.

Reading something about out it. One guy says he can look at a seed and tell if it a male or female. If you a handed a hundred seed at once. From the some plant. Good gens. You would pick the best looking seeds. I’m sure. In that case I believe your chance are better for females than males. I pray. Lol. I’ll look up the the story. If they pop I still plant them. I always see some that I think are going to be females then they turn out to be males and the other way around.

How do you determine if a seed is male or female?
To tell if a seed is male or female, you must first germinate it. Once the seed sprouts, you need to look where it sprouted from. If the sprout comes out of either the TOP or BOTTOM of the seed, it is a FEMALE. If the sprout comes out of either SIDE of the seed, it is a MALE. I looked this up. @LilJonB not my words.

Welcome aboard @Qtip. I just post when I do or change something. Or think about doing something so someone can tell me not to do it. Between me and you I really don’t know what I’m doing
