I'm no expert, but I really think you are overwatering. My plants are 3 times the size of yours and I am using only 300 mls for each plant. Thats also why you have moss. Your plants are going to be very prone to root rot, mold, fungus and other pests. Also I am sure you love your cat, but I would advise to keep her as far away as possible. Animals carry loads of undesirables. Best to avoid it than to try to fight it. :)

BTW the tent is awesome. Gave me a few ideas. Some very good ideas. Looking good!

Back to the watering. Wait until the soil is dry(ish) in the top 3 inches or so before you feed again. Unless the leaves are really drooping and the soil is crusty and hard, there is no need to water so much. :)

so the AK47 i planted before the rest is 4 weeks old today 28 days. :)
it showed sex a couple of days ago.. hardly vissable but when its your first grow i think you notice it instantly.

That plant looks nice and healthy. What light cycle are you on? Are they all on the same cycle? Are you sure those are pistils and not just normal stipules? E.g. are they the tips of the stipules on the other side of the stem?

Ok so here we go again ..

What I have going is a 6foot wide hexagonal tent...
I started by setting it up in a room with no air intake, no mylar etc...

I planted 11 regular chronic and 6 fem AK47.
They all sprouted after 30 hours (paper towel method)
They then all went into pots covered with plastic bags and under two 4foot t8's.

They all sprouted after another day or two.
heres how they looked.

After that i got hold of a 600 watt metal halide setup with a digital ballast and a HPS bulb for about 75quid.
I decided to fit the tent with some tubing complete with carbon filter and a huge inline fan to take the air outdoors....(its so loud i ended up getting a control switch for it so i could turn it to min speed)
I closed up the window and made 2 intake holes.. after i found that one would cause the tent to almost implode given the size of the inline fan.


These seedling here are all 6 days old (the larger one is an AK47 that is 10 days older than the rest) it was my first grow so i wanted to see what the rest of the plants will be doing so i knew when to switch lights.
the third plant is one with 3 sets of leaves... Yes they are all stretched.. lesson learnt

Now these are all taken at about 1 week and 4 days of age i have more but here is just a few...
I did a LOT of work on the tent this week ... DO NOT USE TIN FOIL... its such a ball ache .. another lesson learnt...

Now then...here we have the plants at 2 weeks old... ignore the chili plant just a test to see how it does.

im serious they drink 2 litres evrey 3 days..
there is hardly any run off with a 2 litre bottle..
and every 3 days the soil is dry..
ill try watering a bit less and see how they react.

also the cats banned after it nibbled a leaf .. the little rat.



That plant looks nice and healthy. What light cycle are you on? Are they all on the same cycle? Are you sure those are pistils and not just normal stipules? E.g. are they the tips of the stipules on the other side of the stem?
they are all on 18/6 and temps are a stable 80.
and the large one is 5 weeks old tomorrow and every node now has hairs.. true blue female.. which is a good. the side shoots have stretched a little .. and are all nearly an inch or two from the main top.. i think its because the back of the plant has less light due to the design ..

next run i will anglethe pots a little more to stop the growth at the back stretching..
although the main stem is grwing fine and hardly any stretching.
