Usually males show sex first, so.. since you haven't had any males yet theres a good chance you have some fems =]

Thanks for the help. That info makes me feel a little bit better than i did before. i hope i get females i have done everything to makes my chances higher. I have since trimmed some of the leaves, so it can get more light going through it.. Nothing to serious just like 2 or 3 from each one. thanks again ill keep u posted.

UPDATE: So i was reading through the CFL fourms and something crossed my eyes as i was reading about what lights i should use for flowering. I did not read, nor did i pay any attention to the FINE PRINT where it says use 2700k or 3000k for flowering. I had just went out to the local Target and picked up some Soft white CFL's without reading the Box. I was going for the LUMENS not for Color temp.. WOW no wonder it has taken so long to show the sex of my plants.. Maybe now i can get some Results.. I went out and picked up three 27ook 100w soft white CFL's, putting out 1600 Lumens a peice. So that should give me a total of 4800 Lumens. And adding the 3120 Lumens from the 2 grow bulbs that come with the AEROGARDEN it gives me a grand total of 7920 Lumens.. Is that enough for the 3 plants i have? :hug:

Question about the default grey AG grow-sponges:

Can they be re-used if the initial seed fails?

As well, can the grey sponges be replaced with something else that fits into the AG plastic holder/slots? I've seen pics around here of blackish-looking sponges(peat??), but not sure...

should be fine, if the sponge isnt too torn apart from the roots, you could re use it, you can always order more

heh, i WISH it was torn apart by roots! Them bad boys didn't even sprout good...on the upside, glad I planted lots of seeds, as I've already got 50% casualties!

Is it OK to turn off the AG and Lights for an hour or so? Will that damage my week-old seedlings too much?

Sounds great! Day 18 and still no sign. Im thinking about getting some more lighting.. This might be off the subject but since day 1 i never really put any Nutes into the REZ water. If i did it was only half of a small tablet. And i did this maybe a total of 3 times in 2 months. This grow is almost 100% natural with just water and stable PH.
I read on some fourms to put half of a big tablet into the water when flowering. Do u think it will do damage if i decide to use Nutes now? :confused:
