ocitown,

Love the poppies. Mine are still growing. Can't wait for them to get that size !

Okay, I will transplant later tonight or tomorrow. I thought you were supposed to let them get bigger before you put them in new pots. I have a ton of good soil / promix/ perlite / sand to make for their new home. should I keep them in the peat pot or cut them out of it and free them !

Thanks again

NEVER remove the original rooting media,just plant it with the SAME level as you started with.

Dont be tempted to plant it deeper and suffer stem rot.

Well its been a little while since I posted an update. I always put it off one more day wanting them to get a little bit bigger first. But anyways here they are! The two largest plants are sativa seeds that were given to me by a friend and the rest of them (except for two) are Blue Mystic (Blueberry hybrid from Nirvana). The four cups with baggies covering them are freshly planted Chrystal seeds (3/4 NL x 1/4 White Widow from Nirvana) which is also a recent Cup winner. I am very excited about all of them and can't wait to see what the future brings.

I would like to discover what sex the larger sativas are but am not sure what method I should use. I've read that some people put a small paper bag over one of the side branches for 12/12 light while the rest of the plant remains in 24/0 or 18/6. I've also read that some take early clones and 12/12 them to discover the sex. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, any white dust seen on the leaves is perlite from recent transplanting.

Thank you!
