3 HELICAL 13W 120VAC 60 Hz 180 mA FLE 13HT3/2/SW BULBS held together in a cluster with twine. Those are my lights. I'm transplanting today into a sanitized ice cream gallon container. I'm going to punch holes in the bottom for drainage. I'm going to be planting my germinated seeds soon also. What do you think?

You will see preflowers when the plant reaches maturity.Will my sex show even if under 24 hrs of constant light?

Usually about how long would it take to mature a plant under 24/0 light schedule?

Completely strain dependent, can't even give you an estimate with bagseed.Usually about how long would it take to mature a plant under 24/0 light schedule?

I transplanted yesterday into 1 Gallon & 1 Pint cleaned and sanitized ice cream container. Plant is growing, growing, didn't slow one bit due to transplant. Also planted 4 more germinated seeds. 4 more seeds have also germinated. I also set up a dif desk lamp to give more light spectrum and warmth.

Okay here is the newest update. This is my grow setupfor now while its vegging. In about another week I will construct this area with cardboard fillings, etc to make it light proof so I can put it on a 12/12 light schedule to make it sex. I was wondering if the plant can do this under 24/0 light schedule. My fan is handy, one fan is intake while other is out. 3 out of the 4 germinated seeds I planted have broke the surface. Like I said there is a mild skunky smell in the middle of the plant. what do you think also about the slight burning on the one top leave? I set up another 35 watt incandescant desk lamp for more of a light spectrum and added warmth, I think it may have added to the burn so I turned it off and just have the 3 CFL bulbs on. But there are no buds yet wyteberrywidow, just vegging still.

Your plants will sex when they are mature.I give it about 2 to 3 more weeks u should see preflowers.Or u can just put it under 12 12 lighting and it should show sex within a week or 2.

A plant still can't sex until it's mature, 12/12ing earlier just lets it sex as soon as it's physically possible.

Also installed another CFL BULB to help distribute light. I have 4 little seedlings coming up also in the small water bottle cut outs. I have 4 more that germinated that I will plant tonight. I turned incndescant off and I'm going to keep it off. I still put the plant outside during day light and inside under CFL at night 24/0 still. so 2-3 weeks longer, and they should start showing sex signs eh? cool... finally! also some of the top leaves kinda curl into themseves, like fold a little. Is that normal? also is it normal for a few browned or darkened spots on your plant? could 4 CFLs be too hot?

SO what do you think? This plant burning a little is odd. I haven't watered or fertilized today. The miracle gro directions say 1 tsp to 1 gallon for indoor plants every 2 weeks. So I put 1 tsp in 1 gallon distilled water, and I watered my plant with a 1/4 cup for about 5 days. I thought it would be okay since your supposed to use the entire gallon for your plants within 2 weeks so I don't know anyway NO watering or MG today. When I do water next , It will be with room temp distilled water only.
