Wow, they are looking beautiful. They are still unpinned, and now look like little bonsai trees. I'm going to keep them like this for a few days and see how they like it.

Lighting Update: (4)26w CFL 2700k/(1)68w CFL 2700k
I've decided all the he say she say over 2700k or 6500k doesn't really matter for me as they both seem to work for both cycles. This being said, and the massive 300w equiv CFL I just bought only coming in 2700k, I've decided to run with just 2700k for now. This thing is huge. In the thread I found out about them in they said it was about as big as a football, and they weren't lying.
For anyone having trouble finding them at Home Depot, they were near the Metal Halide bulbs. Just ask someone that works there for high output CFLs and I'm sure they will know where they are.
MSPaint.exe is out of town for a few days so no pics for now, sorry guys.

Lighting Update: (4)26w CFL 2700k/(2)68w CFL 2700k
Total Lumens: ~14800
Added a second 68w CFL. Blindingly more bright in the box now. Maybe I should start wearing shades.
Edit:
Wearing shades, and it's so much easier to stare at them now.

Down to three; the original two, and the strawberry diesel.
The diesel is sick from nute burn and transplanting. I pruned the really burnt sets of leaves of and it's in the ICU atm.
The other two I put into flowering yesterday. On one I re-topped it(ended up cutting a good 4" of mutated stem) and pinned all the sets of just fan leaves and the main stem, and let the 6 tops grow out. They are almost all the same length except one of the two at the actual top of the plant is outgrowing the rest. The last original is still unpinned and is looking great. Very perky and a lot of new growth coming in from the main stem. You literally can't see any of the main stem. Pics later.

Lights: (4)26w CFL 2700k/(2) 68w CFL 2700k
Lumens: ~14800 initial
Plant A: Purp - 24 days
Plant B: G13 - 24 days
Plant E: Strawberry Diesel - 16 days
Of course the pictures. The purp plant has a line of dots on one of the stems for a fan leaf. I put a close-up of it at the bottom of pic. 3. If this means anything any info on why it would do that would be awesome. It's just one the one side of the one set as of now.

I have no idea what that could be. Those plants look healthy to me.

The one with that is growing so nice, and I can smell it now trying to switch over to flowering if I take a big whiff. The strawberry is still sick, but it's looking like it's going to be making a comeback. I'm down to using (4) 26w and (1) 68w because one burnt out. I need to take it back to the store tomorrow. I might also pick up some flowering nutes from the Hydro shop.

Got the bulb switched out. I added 2" of organic compost soil mixed with the rest of my peat moss and perlite to the tops of both of the bigger girls. Hoping to find sex within the week. Disregard the "cut" arrows. I decided against it.

I don't think you can truly appreciate my big girl without these updated pics. She got her first full strength dose of Fox Farm Grow Big last night. I also decided to prune the sets of just fan leaves off my LST project. If you look at it for a minute, you can tell where I am going with it. 6 tops, a pair pinned to the top, the middle, and the bottle of the rectangular container. Still no pics of little diesel because it is still fighting off what I think was a Zinc deficiency due to lockout because of pH problems. I don't have any spare money for a pH meter or other nutes (outside of flowering nutes I'll need to pick up in a week or so), but hopefully some Christmas cash will help out.
First 3 are of the biggun, last one is the LST project.

I think I've successfully brought back the little girl. She was looking VERY bad between transplant shock, pH problems, lights falling on her and having to prune multiple sets of the oldest fan leaves and what I think was a zinc deficiency; she is finally looking healthy again. Took her out for a sun bath, so I decided to snap a picture or two. Just goes to show, life will find a way to survive. And to think, just last night I was considering pushing this plants wig back.

how are you feeding your bloom nutrients? spray bottle or thru norm watering?
your big lady is pretty sick so far, do you think those 68Watters are a big help/would you reccomend them

I'm back to using my default lighting setup (2)68w 2700k and (4)26w 2700k. It looks like the big one is about to pop out some preflowers. I see what look like a few, but way too early to tell what kind. Hopefully I'll have female confirmation within a day or two.
Best $15 investment my box has ever had. I haven't started bloom nutes yet, but I've been using 1tsp/gal with regular watering of FoxFarm Grow Big. The big girl just got her first dose of full strength Grow Big and she is loving it. I also use 1/4tsp/liter in the spray bottle.
