Yeah my cousin moved up to portland after he got fucked by some people he moved to Texas with, as far as I know he's homeless and camping in a park still :-/ I sent him some cash so he could try to get himself set up but cost of living is definitely getting pretty high out there. My ex moved there roughly 10 years ago before moving to Melbourne and it was pretty under the radar still at the time. Beautiful place though, Oregon is a great state if you love the outdoors. Honestly I wish I could pack up and go to the west coast but my parents would be rather upset about having to fly 1800 miles to see their grandson

Wow nice, next grow I might try topping and more training. Definitely fills the space with an even conopy! I think I'm gonna switch my plants 12-12 tonight. I want to see them bloom already.

Flowering day 1 I'm exited!

With those 5 plants under a 600W hps I would say a minimum of a lb. Just don't let them get much taller before switching to 12/12. They will triple to quadruple in height during the stretch.

The problem with the last photo is theyre really under watered man if you got a sprayer take the time to saturate the entire medium until u get run off if you just dump water on something thats that dry itll run down the sides or pathways in the soil and not absorb the best but let em be after that and youll possibly see curled leaves at first but most likely see them just shoot up might take a day or two since theyre stressed just make sure ur not adding nutes and ph at around 6.5 6-7 is fine once theyre not praying as hard give em about a day depending on how heavy the pot is after that as for the crispy looking leaves could be from the soap or ph the holes are most likely ph sorry dude make sure ur meter is calibrated could be bugs too but if ur leaves are that dark green too its most likely ph i know for me it was hard to get my ph in check when i first started but flushing with 6.5ph really helped maybe switch to ro could be something in your water too and btw any plant that small doesnt need a transplant out of 2 gal dont stress em more then u need to i just transplanted mine out of solos into 2 gal n theyre bout the same size hope things get turned around n lookin good u may not see much improvement or leaf praying until new growth comes in but u got plenty of time to fix it good luck

Seriously? That's a little over 3 oz per plant. I thought I might pull an ounce per plant. If I was lucky maybe 2 on some. That would be insane if I got a full pound!

They were overwatered and locked out from a high soil ph. I let them dry for a week and flushed them. They're doing good, still healing. And they were starting to get root bound in those 2 gal. I had to transplant.

Female?
Your plants are definitely looking much better, next time I would wait until the signs of stress clear up a bit more before flipping to flower. The extra stress doesnt do anything besides delay your harvest. Plants have to work harder in bloom to make roots etc because so much more is going on. But regardless you'll be plenty fine with where theyre at now, it will probably keep them about 6 inches shy of the height they would have reached though (not always a bad thing, plant height can be hard to get the hang of if you deal with multiple strains).
And yes under a 600w of grown well you could expect over a lb from a harvest, my old caregiver used to run 5 600s and pulled just over a gram a watt a few times. As a new grower I would expect more in the 200-300 gram range though, especially with the stress they've been through. Treat them well and hopefully you do better though!

Glad to see your plants are doing better. It's only going to get better from here on out with your future grows because you've learned from your mistakes and likely won't repeat them. Everyone goes through that period. Keep it simple and keep it growing. And keep us updated on your progress.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I asked everyone if it would be a problem switching them over like that, they said it will be fine. I don't want these plants getting to big anyways, my next grow I'm gonna raise my space and let them veg for a while. This grow is just a learning experience. Next grow I'm going all in!

That's exactly what this grow is, just a learning experience for the future. I'm glad i am making mistakes and learning how to fix them. I'll just get better and better, next grow should be a lot better!
It's not really a problem, just more of a personal preference from experience, generally if I make the flip while they're stressed I tend to not have as nice looking canopy as l I would have if I waited. Your plants will be fine, going to bloom won't kill them or anything. Good luck with the grow, just a personal bit of advice on the side-keep a journal with feed rates (ppm/ec & approx volume) and make notes of burn and deficiencies, especially if you plan on taking cuttings and growing from clone. Sometimes it's hard to remember exactly what you did for specific problems, especially while medicated.

Ya I'm gonna start a calender with everything. I just haven't done much with this grow so I remember all that I've done with them. Next grow I'm thinking about running coco so it be a lot different as far as watering and feeding so it will definitely be written down.

Can anyone look at that picture I posted and tell me if its a female. Thank you!

You would be surprised how much they grow in the stretch when they know they have to reproduce. Those are about the size I put mine on 12/12 and I average 5-6 oz's per plant with a mere 400W hps and 2 90W ufos.
As for your plant, there is no sex showing.
