I agree, it appears to be male to me as well

@MattyBear, @Myfriendis410 Thank you for the fast reply. if it is. I would rather yank them out right now since I have a female Ak-47 next to them. The stems show no sign of being male or female.

If these are males. I am not bummed out at all. I learned a great deal with these. I have 2 little Blue Dreams in the other room that are a week old. They are autos. The nice part is I have not replanted these yet :grin:
I also was able to learn a little bit about what may be a ph problem and a nutrient problem.

I see Myfriend agrees. I am going to go remove them now before they mess up my AK. I now know how to look at seeds to see if they will be male or female now. Or at least from what I read, I will be able to tell.
Time to get another auto going LOL
Thank you again for all the help.
Thanks guys.

Looks like male, I agree. Not sure what else you would be looking for, but it also appears there are sacks on the node directly below the top.

I planted six seeds of unknown provenance on my first grow and 4 turned out male. But the two turned out to be lovely girls.

Unfortunately that looks male to me. I’m just the bearer of bad news today @dbrn32 @Myfriendis410 @Donaldj @BIGE @Dieselgrower

@MattyBear< Not bad news to me. I would rather know now as to later. I made some new friends with this grow. So a win, win in my book.
It is probably easier for me to lose 3 plants as to others since I don’t smoke. I am doing this as a hobby and to help some friends out that use Cannabis for medical reasons. They are on a fixed budget and the cost is harder for them to manage. I have tried to choose strains that might help them out. And a couple that just sound tasty to me. I ordered some Caramelicious auto seeds & Bubblegum. I may have to try those. I can’t really smoke my self because of heart issues. A taste now and then is fine though. :grin:

The roots on all these looked pretty good. You guys have provided me with lots of good advice, I thank you all for that. I looked through my other GS seeds and picked out a dozen females to use for a later grow. I will have my sisters friend here look at them and double check for me. For now though. I will just do the auto flowers for a bit. I will have a couple questions for them in a week or 2.
My AK has gotten a little browner since using the FloraKleen. I don’t think it needed it. I am going to take what you guys have taught me and see if I can fix it on my own. I feel reasonably certain I can now. Guess we will see in a week lol

Both of those strains sound great. I have never grown either, but I’ve smoked a lot of bubblegum strains and I enjoy it! Keep me updated on your grows pal

@MattyBear, Will do. Since the AK is still going. I am just going to add the Blue Dream here as it progresses. It is an auto and is growing quick. I have “high” hopes for those 2 lol I think I am just going to start one of the Big bud autos tonight. I can keep it in the old grow box till the AK is done. I have to say. I never thought I would enjoy growing plants this much. My sisters friend wants to try growing a Strawberry cough. She is going to trade me a few of her seeds for a couple of those. I have probably been going a little over board buying seeds since I haven’t even finished a first grow lol

I have an AK47 auto going right now too. And a Blue Dream fem in the veg tent.

Cool. How far along are you on the B.D? My AK is a regular fem. it is in the tent to flower but has yet to start flowering. It has been in there for 10 days. I am going to wait on the big bud. I want to try the Caramelicious one next. I am going to plan things out a little better this round time wise and try not to be so impatient.

My BD is still in veg. I just fimmed her and the Maui Wowie the other day. As soon as one of the girls in flower is done, those will go into the flower tent and the cycle continues lol.

So when are you going to share pictures of them :grin: If you have a grow journal I might have missed. Please tag me in.

Well, I am starting to think I was born with a brown thumb as a green one lol
I am going to toss this out and see if I am right. I am back to issues with the AK. This lady has been down a bumpy road from the get go. I am back to a lot of rust color leafs on her. I started her off an the wrong foot. I went to transplant her from the 1 gallon pot to the 3 she is in now. She basically started to fall apart on the way to the new pot. I fed 1/2 strength this morning. I did a ph in at 5.8 and out was 5.8. So that is good. The TDS numbers were great too. I don’t have my book right here but the numbers were in the low 300s for the run off. Well below what they were when I fed her. I went to transplant her into a 5 gallon and she started to crumble right away. This time I stopped as soon as I saw that. So I basically just lost a little top soil. Looking at the leaves. I am thought it would be a ph issues but since it is good. Maybe it is a calcium issue? Soooo Any one want to take one more stab at this. Fortunately I had no issues up to about week 5. So the Blue Dreams are safe for the moment lol The root system on this feels pretty weak too. The main stem was some what loose when wiggled even before the transplant try. All the GS acted like they were in cement.
I hate to keep coming back with the same issue over and over. I had thought I had this part figured out all ready.

@MattyBear, @Dieselgrower Hey guys. I know you both are working on Blue Dream autos. I read that autos should go from the seedling cup to there final cup. Is that the way you went? I would really like to go to a 1 gallon first since that has worked good for me so far. Do you think I could get away with that or go straight to a 5 gallon smart pot. Or is a 3 gallon better.
Thanks
