well I just watered about 10-15 minutes before taking the pictures. Also sprayed some water on the leafs. I can see now after almost an hours that the leafs are up praying again.

now, can someone please tell me if in any case, it is possible that a plant 9 days old would be capable to show sex? just popped to mind this question...

It's not because the soil looked wet that I thought that. It's the color of the leaves and the tips curling down. A plant that size I water every 3-4 days.... weak nutrients like you mix every other watering at most. You don't want to burn the plant with too much nutes, remember the soil has nutes in it as well. Especially after fertilizing when the moisture is gone, the extra ferts that weren't taken up by the plant are still in the soil. Plus the roots need oxygen, so you should let the soil dry out some between watering so they grow healthy and strong and don't rot.

As for sex, it's possible to show sex if you put them under 12/12 light to flower them. But under 18+ hours of light they probably won't show until they are about a month old at least, probably even older.

no way to tell sex in 10 days.......takes a few weeks min.

wohoo I'm back, man what a night. I have to put myself together now and go buy some dirt to repot the babies. I have some other pots from last grow and I will put'em there. Can anyone tell me if the dirt should be wet or dry when I transplant for easy handling?

anyone?

moist is what i do

thank you very much. Now... I know this will sound absolutely insane, but I'm almost 100% sure that the big one in the pictures shows sex and it's a lady. on the 4th node where new stems sprouted, they have a little leaf like growth out of which two white hairs stick out, they are extremely small but they are absolutely there. Also on the 3rd node the same thing. How can this be possible? From a bagseed.. and how bad is this? I mean.. I keep my lights on 24/7 Wish I had a good camera to take such detailed picks and show you all...

Looks like you've got one super female going there, she looks like she's ready to jump on a fence post! =D

I'm newbish on my first real grow and so far I've been using MG tomato fert. for my veg state and I'm about 5-6 weeks in. Everyone says it's crap but it seems to do the job and my babies are strong. I'll be switching to some decent flower fert. though. (saving up my pennies) What's weird is some of my plants seem to even smell like a robust tomato plant lol. Maybe they ARE tomatoes, WTF HAVE I BEEN SMOKING MAN!? =)

i think this was already mentioned but you might want to add some more soil to the top to bury the stem a bit higher. it will anchor the plant better and encourage more roots. other than that they look fine. maybe add more light but they're not super stretched. good job.

thanks mate, I just started LST-ing them. Reason I left a bit of room on top with no soil is so that there will be good air flow there + it made it so easy for me to bend them for first round of LST. Hope it will go better, I have added few more lights today and also I will buy a few more as well. I have one question though... if I buy (any)W 2700k CFL would that be good for flowering? Thanks...

yea but you wana go more towards the red spectrum, cool warm, whatever its called. just ask the dude at the store for the most red emtting CFL. and get that one. go to 12/12 for flowering, but id givve it some time yet. longer the veg, larger the yeild

heh yeah, I won't have too much room in my grow room . Anyway.. I started LST-ing all 3 have adapted really fast and started pointing upwards in hours. I think in 3-4 days max another lst and so on. I'm really thinking about starting a journal go away lazyness....
