More nuts, dam, not good. that's 4 males out of 6 seeds. That's a lot of soil,light,nutes,space,time gone. I swore off regs years ago but I thought with my splitters in the pots I could try again. 2 out of 6 sucks. I swore off regs at 2 out of 7......fkem...I'm off regs again. I hope these are nice fking plants....ooops my grrrr is showing, I'd better smoke 2

We get that too. Not as bad as your driveway this year though. But our steep roof usually causes our stoop to get iced over one or twice a winter from melt. That’s why we have the salt and sand mix.

This is after it was shovelled clean twice. View attachment 90535

We also have three inside sidewalks and the street sidewalks to shovel. View attachment 90536

Then the shovel broke. View attachment 90537

But we had another so we could do our flat roof which was leaking down the chimney again. View attachment 90538View attachment 90539View attachment 90540View attachment 90541

The snow was about a foot at the edges and up to three feet against the peaked roof.

I’m so done with winter.

Hope your able to manage yours. The ice looks nasty. I bought a propane cane torch years ago for the stairs. Kind of sucks as it’s slow but sometimes it’s all that works.

What is that stuff?
Looks like a PITA.

We’re getting the liquid sunshine here. Been a weird year. This looks like a miracle march for rain. The Sierra are getting pounded with snow as well.

I always purchase feminized seeds not wasting my time and costs on regs.

Yeah I gotta like put in 30 just to get 6 with my luck…no thanks…

 

[GoodShit97]

This is why I start 50
Then my last batch, 8 of 10 were female lol
Id rather pull males than pluck herms any day

I love the mystery of using regs, but I’m too old to waste time on growing boy plants only to have to pull them and start anew.

I like fems, I’m now more impressed with autos too after my last grow.

I had for years but with the split pots I thought I'd give them a whirl. I was thinking plant 12 regs in my 6 split pots I'd be good but my odds of getting 10 males and 2 fems are not worth me trying.

I still have 5 fems growing but my tent is no longer full

Over time (5 years), I have grown regs a number of times, my success ratio was actually surprisingly good. Probably 75% females. I figure the odds are more and more out of my favor!

Its made me rethink clones but that takes 3 tents and I'm not sure I could get another tent in my room. I ran the same gene's for a few years, just cloning and flipping moms but it takes 2.5 months to flower making my clones 2.5 months old and out of space in my holding cell and summer high humidity is tough to flower in so if timing doesn't work out my plants got too big to handle.

Thinking on it though and I could count on all fems. I could easily do 4 in my 3x3 and build a small clone box. I have the light...big hmmmm......good talk..

lol......I was just looking at 4 more pots to fit into my auto pots so I can do just that, even moving my hot water tank just over 3 ft would give me the space I need. to put a small 2x2 or a home built.

I have all the lighting, I used to run 3 full time but it got to be too hectic with so much going and....neglected plants at the back.

Everything needed a clean up so I went to just starting seeds 6 weeks before harvest.....and now I can't stay ahead of the game. I run out of smoke.....I smoke a lot but still I should be able to out grow my smoking needs.

I could potentially flip 4 - 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 month old monsters in my 5x5....ya...I like...lol....
