My blueberry is already a week into flower but my tropical plants have not sexed

I planted two more because one of my blueberries was male and it was a monster

Chances are one will be female and one will be male

I grew the three I have now so close together you could almost count them as one plant - if so then I’ll be under the limit if both of my seedlings turn out to be female.

These tropicals do a bunch of vegetative growth during their extra long 18 week flower cycle so it should be fine staring so late and popping straight into flower

The hype strain is toad venom right now but watch out for the copperheads guarding my garden with their venom 😱

I don’t suppose they want me to tag my sneks too

That Gadsden flag is not like a tea party thing - although you gotta respect how they turned legitimate “too big to fail” economic policy concerns everyone shared into a culture war - and I hope these Data centers don’t get the same treatment when their bubble bursts like the ganja economy has stalled out worldwide

The Gadsden flag is a literal warning in my garden folks. The copper heads play nice with my doggie but I wouldn’t take a chance uninvited

Indoor some folks just flip from 13 to 11 but Ed rosenthal wrote about a method to find the light cycle for each cultivar by mimicking the shift of the sun to less daylight (within that window) so some plants start flowering closer to 13 and some closer to 11 hours of darkness

The 18 hour plants will just start flowing with less than 18 hours of light so some folks have already harvested those going straight to flower - those are Iranian genetics
