Wow! Yesterday I saw this little bump on plant two.

And this morning I noticed the same little bumps on 5,8 & 3.

Not only that but plant 7 has unmistakeable white hairs growing out the very top 2 (newsest) nodes!!

If you need to, you can enlarge the picture in my gallery and see it close up. Plant seven has also passed plant 5 in the last two days and is now the tallest. Plant 7 is not like the rest. Its taller and has much thinner leaves like a sativa. The others all have big fat indica leaves.
I was going to flower sooner rather than later anyway, but ....aren't these preflowers I'm seeing, and at only 37 days old??

Took them out for weekly inspection and pics today. Gave them a drink with some H2o2 them put them to bed, today being the 2nd day 12/12.
Day 42
7, 3 ,9 all showing female. 2,5,6 looking like males, and 4, 8 & 10 not showing yet. Although 10 looks Exactly like 9 so I'm hopeing its a girl too. 1, 4 & 8 are thought to be female cuz short bushy like 3. So if thats the case I could have 7 0f 10 female :)
Seven females will push the environment (closet) to its limits!


Considering a transplant to bigger pots only with the females when they all show.
Comments or suggestions???

they look really good man, growing really well. 7 out of 10 should be about right. did you switch to flowering nutes yet?

Thank you tryintogrow, no flowering nutes yet, but I plan on giving them bloom booster and molasses next time they are dry, probably in about 4 days.

Yup 10 has got hairs this morning! :) So cool. 9 and 10 were the ugly, skinny, no branch having bums two weeks ago, and now they are arguably the best most happy looking ones. Both are putting out 11 bladed leaves, very dark green. All 10 look very happy this morning :)

Looking great. No need for transplant, pot size are fine for your sog opp. At this stage you dont want the 1wk delay that comes from transplanting. What sort of yield are you looking for? My next set up will be a sog in 32 oz containers, soiless, verm/perlite h/b style. Got a bag seed going right now that smells like mangos.

Thanks for the input ghost. :)
Apparently if you keep the plants happy and the roots dont have to search for things (water & nutes) you can grow some pretty big plants in small pots so I guess I'll leave them be. 7 was really the one I was concerned about because its going to be a big bitch before all is said and done. If it doubles, its going to be a six footer. 2 inches in last 24 hrs.
As for yeild? Lets see....an oz. can set me back a buck fity and I have probably put about that into this grow so a Z would be fine, and everything thing else is BONUS!
So with at least the 4 that are showing fem. I figure I am ahead of the game so far :)

Good choice Stockpicker. I think 8 might be my fav. It is very dense. Has very dark green eleven bladed leaves. I'm 75% sure its a female. Another day or two and I should know. I'm considering making one of my girls into a mom, and 8 would IMO make a very good mommy :). Especially if I do end up with 7 females.

OK just for the record.... I have just now added it all up. my 10 plants are sharing 850 watts of light. Good thing I got the HD timer, good for 1200watts...whew.
10 40 watt tubes + about 15 cfl + 3 20 watt tubes :mrgreen:
