in preparations of another year gone by, i reached into my trusty pile of bagseed and started sorting them. i sorted them based on one single determining factor, the shape of the 'pit' on the bottom of the seed. the bottom being the rounder of the two ends. i read somewhere (on here i believe) that if this is a round pit and not irregular shaped it is a female seed. never heard that before so this was my chance to try it.
i got 8 seeds that i speculated to be female. i started germination on 12/29, and by 12/31 had my first sprout, and by 1/1 all 8 had sprouted. i put all 8 into 3" clay pots in my shower by the window. i did this for 2 weeks, watering them with my morning shower
i then took 6 of the seedlings and placed them into 6" rockwool cubes. the other two are now in 24/0 and are looking kinda pathetic. the 6 in rockwool i placed straight into flower under 400w HPS. as of today my tallest is probably 18", maybe a tad bigger. it is showing predominantly sativa leafs and as of this weekend (1/24) it has shown its sex. i thought it was male from preflowers but kept it since it was the strongest grower and glad i did! the next biggest plant is probably 10" or so and has a typical indica leaf. it showd sex this weekend as well. the other 4 are between 6" and 8" in height and two are growing fine and two are having stalk rot issues. i think i narrowed it down to touching of the rockwool cover to the stalk but these two plants will likely not make it as is even though they are not showing any signs of stress (that i can see).
i'm very happy to have a couple doing as well as they are and am curious to see how they eventually turn out. this was a bagseed grow and the seeds are from years ago so i have no real expectations. we shall see, i hope this sativa looking one doesnt get too big, i am very suprised that at 26 days from germination to see it this big. the 10" is still beastly but nothing like the other. i will be taking a clone or two from it before all is said and done fo sho!
i hope to be able to prove/disprove the seed sexing post i saw, or at least get some raw data to prove/disprove it. i really want to clone the two that i think will die so i can learn their sex. i really dont want to have two unknowns.
i also have a batch that i sprouted last week, but they are going to veg for a while first. hopefully with two eight seed batches i will find out, and maybe even find a gem in them thar seeds!
with that said i will post some pics in the coming days
