Here are some shots of my main top at 6 weeks, last week I was shaking the buds to get the whiteflies to come off and be attracted to the sticky trap I have. Somehow it looks like I bent the main stem as now I have another huge top pushing upwards while the rest has started growing to the left. Thought it was cool that now the bud is twice as thick. Anyway the advice I wanted to ask for is about my seedlings that are coming up on week 3 veg and I wanted to start sexing them. My veg room currently has both a 1000 and 600 watt MH blu and My flower room has a 400 and 150 w HPS. Is it ok to start 12/12 with the MH bulbs as I only intend to weed out the males and get a nice mother established. I would rather not change bulbs yet or move the flower room if its not needed. I just wasnt sure if starting the 12/12 needed to be under HPS or if MH is good enough just to start so I can sex them. Any advice is greatly appreciated

I am thinking I will go with all DWC for my next grow once I get the clones going. I took some clones from a tomatoe plant I have on my balcony soon to die.

Thoughts on the 12/12 awitch with the MH, if its going to be faster to get them to switch with the HPS i will change bulbs on the 600 watt

You can just use the MH.... No difference really. It doesnt care how intense the light is or what light bulb it is, as long as it has enough to live. The photo period is what makes them switch really.

Ok cool thats much easier than changing anything with my setup just to get them to show themselves.

Thanks for your reply

Also would you think that 3 weeks is mature enough to keep them flowering? I am wondering if its more about how many nodes or sets of leaves the plant has than anything else. I wouldnt expect to try to flower a plant with one set of leaves, after fimming I am at the 4rth set of leaves and showing good growth still. I would like to keep them under or around 2ft

more pics, I went ahead and moved some plants and setup another dwc, I think I may have too much light now. One 1000 next to 600w MH, its bright as fuck in the closet lol. I am lucky that there is a air conditioning vent in the closet and attic hatch. for now I have the attic hatch open for heat to escape but not sure if I still need the 600 in there now that I have a 1000
