To be respectful you should start your own thread so that you do not continue to hijack this one. I will be glad to help you when you do! I prefer not to answer any questions just for the fact that I do not want to derail this current grow.
BTW Attic, patiently waiting for pics....

Yeah it is unfortunately.. I didn't have the $$$ to purchase Mylar at the time, and I was skeeved out about spraypainting the box white because I have nowhere to let it air dry, plus the paint fumes mixing with my plant ingesting them just didn't fly in my book.. If I had the right paint and the right location to let it dry / air out I would have been happier, but this is not a permanent box, just my first grow

Hahahaha sorry Cransi.. Well the full series of plant pictures will come tomorrow once she springs back from the LST I did today, but as far as the sexing is concerned, I took one more macro this morning:

And then I drew an outline, Green is the Calyx, and Red is the Pistil starting to emerge from it.

Hey nolife67,
No worries on the thread hijack hahaha, I enjoy discussion, plus it keeps my thread bumped.
Well if you're trying to stick to an 18/6 schedule it's hard to say if you'd want to bring it outside after 1:30 because if you're going to put it outside after the lights turn off and it's supposed to be night time, the plant isn't getting any rest at that point..
Are you saying to put the plant outside BEFORE 1:30 and bring it in at 1:30?
I grew with 18/6 and I was very satisfied with how quickly it went.. I dunno about 24/0.. I've heard that root development and the breakdown of sugars created from the photosynthesis into energy that fuels the plants growth happens in the dark.. I'm sure plants didn't evolve to be fine with 24 hrs of light, simply because that's not what happens in real life outside

im cheap and spend all my money i get so i used tinfoil in my small veg. area...havent noticed any hotspots no matter what....im sure it could happen, but i dont know if cfls can cause this..it def reflects better than the bare wood that was there. im so ghetto i thought about using the inside of chip bags. not sure what that material is but i bet it would work pretty great. probably cant get hot, if im the first one to think of it i may try it... anyways back to your grow... and come check out mine..gonna add pics tonight

I'm kinda wishing I changed to 12/12 earlier.. The general consensus is that you wait until the plants are 1 month old before you start flowering, but it's totally reasonable to start at 3 weeks or whatever..
My plant is outgrowing her space, which is the reason why I'm getting a bit nervous.. and it's not height, it's WIDTH that I'm worried about.. I'll post some pictures in a minute and you can see what I mean.

Hey goodro, thanks for the messages and yeah I agree, no hot spots on mine either. HAHAHAHA That chip bag idea actually sounds like it would work..
Imagine you go to smoke your weed, and your buddy is like DAMN dude what strain is this, shit tastes like DORITOS. And you're like "Hell yeah man, this is Dorito Kush, no bullshit.."

And the moment you've all been waiting for (Well, Cransi at least)
PICS TIME
Okay dudes, here we are, 5 days from the start of flowering, and she is officially 5 weeks old today.
She's getting BIG. 10 main budsites
side view:
The main cola (along with every other main growth point) is looking less like a bunch of leaves coming out of a central spot like it used to, and this morning I really noticed that the area of growth in the middle of the tip is actually all white. So I took a picture of it:
I thought it looked crazy, so I took a macro of it too:
I dunno what it is, but to me it looks like the start of a bud.. Extreme trichome growth
Now, on to some comparison shots.
Today vs 4 days ago:

The New Bong Adventure *PICS and STORY*
The New Bong Adventure *PICS and STORY*
CLIFFS AT THE END
Well today is new bong day
.
It wasn't that easy getting it though..
Basically it went like this. I went to a head shop and picked up a bong for $49... As I was driving towards home I was looking at it and I was kind of having buyers remorse. I really didn't like it (It wasn't clear at ALL, it was orange that faded to yellow, kinda girly colors, and it just overall was shittily blown not smooth lots of bubbles, etc.)
So I was like "Oh well dude you bought it you're not going to go and return it blah blah.."
So I decided to at least buy a nice slide for it. So I went to this shop near my house that's a bit pricey but I knew they had a good selection of slides.. I go in there, find a slide that matches, buy it, go out to the car, slide it into the female part of my new bong, and it doesn't fit (female piece was oddly shaped a the bottom)..
So I get my shit bagged back up, walk back into the store, let him know it didn't fit and asked him if we can try a few stems to find one that does fit. He informs me he's the store manager and he's like "Yeah dude that sucks, let's help you find one that fits". So we started trying slides, none of them fit well, they were all catching on the bottom of the female piece.
At this point he took the female piece out of my bong, and was trying other slides. He tried one, it almost went all the way thru, then BAM. My female piece was now in 15 pieces in the guys hand.
He was like "Holy fuck dude." and i was like "yeah.
"
So he tries to pull out a female piece from another bong, it was glued in.. So after some trying to get that out, he looks at me and goes "Damn..... Where did you get that bong?"
I told him.
"How much did you pay for it?"
I showed him the price tag.. Told him with tax it came to $53....
He was like "Okay dude, I'm about to make a return customer for life right now... You see these bongs?" (he pointed to a row on his shelves, all about 5 inches taller than the one i originally had)
I said "yeah?
"
He said "I want you to pick any one of those out, and I'll take this one off your hands for you"
I was like "Really dude? You sure?"
he said "I don't have any female pieces.. go ahead"
They were all $79.99
CLIFFS: Buy a bong that I'm not really 100% happy with and settle on it because it's the only one that's "okay". I go to buy a slide for it in a different store, the dude breaks my female piece trying to fit a slide in it, and GIVES me an $80 bong as a replacement for my $50 bong that I didn't even like in the first place
Here's some pics
It's VERY thick glass
The spiral on the tube is great for holding the piece.. my fingers fit right into the grooves between the spiral
As you can see the bowl/slide really matches the overall piece
The bowl has a cool triangle-esque shape to it
Here's a picture of my spoon
And then the 2 pieces and a water bottle for size reference.
Sorry about the shitty half burnt bowl of shake in there.. That was the only stuff I had left and I HAD to try it out before I took pictures
Now I'm dry and don't have anything to smoke in my new bong
