male a female preflowers look very similar prior to the pistils emerging, you should definitely give it a little bit... another week max and you sould know for sure what it is.

looking excellent from what i can see, really coming along like how it should be, congrats on the girls!!! ill be posting up pics on my thread within the next hour and a half or so. transplanted the girl last night to a 5 gallon bucket which went VERY well considering i threw a full 8 quart bag of MG african violet soil in there, popped the whole rootball out which was basically the entire pot (2.5 gallon) and it fit sooooo snug into the pot, ended up being right at level with the top and just soiled around it, i know this damn thing is gonna explode in a few days. but your plants are looking great, flowering very nicely. ill keep a close eye on this grow considering the flowering cycle time is almost the same as mine, HAPPY GROWING!!!

What dose it do, and could i add it to my miricle grow water solution?
you prolly could do it, but i wouldnt recommend mixing organic with chemical. if its chemical stick with chemical, if its organic stick with organic, just my opinion, im not sure though ive only been using chemical.

I only looked at the first message with the question of how does the plant look after 25 days of CFL vegging.
 
My reply would have to be it looks like it has spent 25 days vegging under CFL’s.

In 25 days of vegging with my HID-MH I have bushes instead of small plants. The difference in growth in your 25 days and my 25 days is as different as night and day.
 
Normally I grow in 7-gallon pots but sometimes I grow in 5-gallon pots. The last time I grew in 5-gallon pots, in 28 days, 3 days longer than the plant in your picture, my plants were all wider than my pots, which are roughly 11 ½ inches wide and all were around 20 inches or more tall and they were not at all stretched, they had very, very tight nodal spacing and they were not a pure sativa which could be a reason for the growth, they were a sativa/indica cross that was close to being equal in percentages according to the breeder's information.
 
That is why I do not and will not ever make the mistake of going CFL.

I did not mean to be offensive in any way with anything I said. I was merely making a comparison to what is normal for me and comparing it to what could be seen in your picture. Sorry if I unintentionally offended you in any way.

It's fine. I did post this in the cfl subforum for a reason though. With where we are located and heating issues HID lights would not work so that is why I have CFL's.

For the price and space available CFL's are doing a great job so far. Easy to adjust and low energy costs make it a fun grow.

do you have lights on the side near some of the smaller budding spots? you might want to add a couple over that way, would help those get a lil bigger and give you better yield... looks great though i am hoping mine will be of similar size cuz im limited on space as well.

Yea I have two cfl's that are lowered over some of the smaller buds.
