What do you want to hear??

Nice green stems!

Small plants though.

Hope you're doing a SOG or using a small light.

You plants showing their sex yet? How long have they been in flower now? Did they suffer any stress from the transplant?

Transplant went really well minor stress with only one plant but it has made a full recovery sexes are showing all but one appear to be female the one is either male or its not showing fully, it's the second pic someone had commented about previously they are now about ten days flowering pictures show signs or some of the sexes

Cool, would be very nice if only one turns into male....should be able to tell pretty soon =) Transplanting right when you flipped wasn't ideal but in my opinion had to be done the smaller 1.5 gallon was going to hurt growth and yield, so glad to hear that went well with min stress. How is it going with the heat issues? Did you get some more fans while you save up for inline fan? Yeah def watch that second one I was thinking possible male as well.

Switched the light cycle to night time so heat stress has gone down only a little but still need the exhaust been saving tho ESP with second job. Should be all set next week to start installing vent system. And they were in a one gal bucket actually not 1.5 and now they are in 3.5 gal buckets. Oy issue I'm having now is watering more in amount of water needed and still water every day.

I think it's male. if it would be a female stigmas already would be sticking out of those little balls, like in the first pic.

EDIT: I meant 3rd pic. again, pic quality is not very good at this close, so I might see things differently then you do :))

Surprises me you have to water every day with 3 1/2 gallon pots? You are watering with good runoff saturating soil well and letting dry until pots are lite?

Dude every time I water the plants they are practically bone dry and the soil is separating from the edge of the bucket indicating its dryness. I don't water until run off I water each plant 15oz at the moment

hehe all of my pics are taken with iphone.. but I use mattebox app, I target something very close, press lock autofocus and then target the stem and adjust with your hands distance the most clear and take pic. I do not know about your other plants, but at this age and those size balls should have already stigmas sticking out.

After vegging six weeks, when I flipped my girls to flowering, after 4 days I alr saw stigmas.. 10 days is more than enough to show preflowers.

Nice colour green but your plants look quite stretched.


What light are you using?

How many watts?

How far away from the tops of the plants?

T5 fluorescent grow light 8 bulbs 40,000 lumens they are about 3 inches above the plant at this moment and the stretching is from when I started off the wrong way without the right light. Only got the t5 10 days ago when I started the flowering.

On your next usage of this light it could be very beneficial for you to look into a SCROG.

How big is your light?

A SCROG would keep your plant trained within a specific netting area allowing for a level canopy with good bud growth maximising the yield for the lighting.

SCROG was conceived for flouro growing.


The trouble now is that anything below about 6-8" from the top isn't going to receive enough light to produce anything.

Right now you could perform some LST (low stress training).

This involves using ties to secure down the plants stems/branches forcing them over and allowing more light to lower parts.
