True they may come out with more lumens and thats always a good thing in this hobby, they seem to be doing the trick. I actually flowered with them the entire time last time and things went well nice dense nugs but the flower time was just about a week longer than normal. which is ok with me i am patient when it comes to things like this. Most of the time the wait is worth it.

dam bro iam exited to hear you already put them in 12/12 i can imagine how they are gonna start shooting up pistils from everywhere subscribed

thanks man i appreciate that. the leaves are rather large and there bigger than my hand as for reference they cover more than half of an 8x11 piece of printer paper. Checked on em today to give them a cycle of FoxFarm and there starting to begin that flower stretch, you can see where the nodes actually have begun to change pattern.

Well checked em today as a good father should and i got a little surprise i thought i would share. I think i have spotted the first official pistil, have a look

very nice man. check mine out too ! hope it flowers nicely!

why thank you sir i appreciate that and i hope that it flowers nicely too

nice i was using LED but now CFL and 4 days and the difference is noticeable but LED seem real handy but over all CFL takes it!

Well went to water tonight and i found something i am not to happy about. After seeing the one with the pistil i decide to give them a closer look and i do believe 2 of the three left are male......pisses me off but hey its the gamble with bag seed.

So unless my past experience is wrong what i am about to show you will start throwing balls in a few more days.

on a good note there is one still confirmed female and here is what they look like before the pistils pop out

I have to say i love the fact that 791 people have viewed this thread but only 35 replies thats pretty bad

Well the males have shown and have been removed. I now have the one lonly lady.

I did however get some nice shots from the one male. Very indica dominate just wish it was a girl

Dude sorry to hear about the males. Is the female the one you lst'd? Your plants look really healthy though keep it up. How many watts you gonna use to flower? Keep up with the lst, keep her bushy

well sadly the LST one was a male which ticked me off but thats ok. I am on day 10 of 12/12 still using the CLF's. I was in the process of retro fitting a 600w HPS but after i got all the wiring done and made a remote ballast out of a all in one enclosure the ballast was bad........so i now know why i got it for 30 from the salvage place. So i have purchased a 400w HPS that should be here in a few days and that should make things turn out pretty good. Ill get yall some pics as i have seen pistils all over the place now so i know the remaining one is a female.
