Check out sensi seed bank, they have good photo's to compare with. I suspect that magash may be showing us more than one strain here. Its the purple leaves on that one photo that threw me. http://www.sensiseeds.com/ml/shop.asp?MainLev=3&PluNr=2070

When i regenerated my top-44 plant the first big leaves to come through were purple. They're all green again now. Must be something to do with nutrients or something. Btw have you heard of top-44? It flowers in 44 days! Nice sweet smoke but not that strong. Deffinate breeding pottenial there i think.

I think Magash may be dead! We checked the weather and they have severe flash floods there at the moment(hawaii). Possibly he's been washed out to sea!! Magash? MAGASH!!!! SPEAK TO US!!!! Are you alive?!

well m unsure about this but it may be just genetic. purple is a common color among many plants but i think that if its not in its genetics its probably because of phosphorous deficient , maybe also because of low temperatures can produce something called anthocyanin pigments in the leafs turning them purple, i know this from other plants and its possible it can happen to cannabis as well. but i dont know why some purpleing would be in the genetics.

Yea, during flowering plants suck the extra nutrients they need out of their leaves, and as we know they need phosphorous at this stage, so yea thats quite possibly the reason. This may also explain the purpling of my T-44 leaves as they had just come out of flowering.

Sorry Dr J I should have mentioned the strains. The purple one is Blockhead from spice of life. There is some lifesaver from BOG seeds and the last is a little cross of Mikado and Sweet Tooth #3 (my baby)

V nice. Not strains that are very common over here. Most people like they're Northern lights, Big Bud, White strains (esp. WW), and Blueberry. Nice to know what you US guys are up to though. Very organised and neat grow room. Much respect dude.

The strains I'm using arn't all that used here either. Just that the strains you have mentioned I've been threw already is all. He he he...the funny thing is I order my seeds from a place in Essex, your neck of the woods.
I've done DJ Shorts Blueberry and his True Blueberry but am bringing in dutch Passions version of it, which is just DJ first version of it. Also bringing in
Maple Leaf Indica Skunk #1 Afghan #1 Sensi Skunk Super Skunk Lavender Biggie Small AK-47
I have some crosses I plan to do. One is AK47 crossed with maple Leaf Indica. Find a good male and then cross with a Lavender x Blueberry female and then back cross it into the Blueberry again. That should be very berry tasting with a nice touch of sweetness and good color with a good punch in the face and turn out the lights high .

DrJ said: I have at least 4 too many females to fit in my grow room! This is due to a new germination technique that was passed on to me by a friend. (previous germination rate under same conditions were 80% germination and 30-40% females) -
* First make a 2Ltr solution of water with 1 capful of bleach(5ml) (ordinary household bleach, mine is fragranced. Still works a treat though!) * Then soak seeds in solution for 4-6 hours. * Then rinse and soak in fresh water for 5 mins. * Then add to pot full of medium (i use coco but any well aerated mix works well), and cover seeds with another 1/2" of medium. * Water with light nutrient mix. * Cover with cling-film and poke a few small holes for air. - Thats it! With this method i got 90% germination and 100% females (out of 16 seeds!)
This is only my first time using this method, but chance's of this being fluke are minimal. The friend who told me this you can easily get at least 80% females and 100% germination. I should apologize at this stage to all the manufactures of seed feminizinfg hormones! But this info is to good not to share! 
Dr J (no copyright of course! Pass it on!) lol
P.S. - Please post results and exact method used here for comparison. Thx
is there any webpages that discuss this method any further? Or is your friend the inventor of this tek?

I'm not sure, but he own's a hydro grow shop here. He's knows a few people who use this tek but as for whether he or they invented it or if they got it somewhere else i don't know. I need some bloom booster fertilzer, so I'll ask him next time i see him. I'll google it if i can be asked and post any stuff i find about it. But as I said in my free seeds post, i just got 10 free seeds so i shall post my m/f results from these as extra data.

yeah i would like to see more in depth discussion on this method.
mycogirl pointed it out but there is not ammonia in your bleach solution, ammonia + bleach makes a dangeros chlorine gas called mustard gas (used as weapon in WW1&2)
Bleach solution is often used for sterilizing the seed surface
