I'm not an expert,
i just started growing myself and they look okay to me. those cfl lights you have can be pretty close to the plants if it doesn't get too hot, i have similar lights. What are you growing them in? it looks like wood chips
I really like what you did with the hamper!! lol i never would of thought of that.. is that just for veg? are you gonna move them to something bigger? you wont get very much height in that will yah? so very minimal yield.Hey man, I like your set up. I rigged this one up a few weeks ago when i decided to start growing. let me know what u guys think.
I'm not too sure actually. This is my first "project" build and grow, so I am not sure what the outcome or yield will be. People have been saying it's too small and hot and the plants will stay small, but it seems to be working for these little plants so far. As for how long I will keep them in there..... pretty much as long as I can. I think I'll need another set up for flowering though. This box should be able to fit my plants comfortably for a long time because I can adjust the height of the plants to the lights as they grow, the width of the plants may be an issue though. I will keep posting pics as the grow progresses to keep everyone updated.
i read that you tell sex at about after a week into flowering.. and that the females have little white hairs that grow (pistils) and males do not...cool! Your plants look like mine did last week, once they start growing bigger it's so rewarding to see their progress. I hope i get some females too! do you know how to tell what sex theay are? I know u can make them show earlier with light cycle changes or something, but i don't want to stress my plants. I've read a few things about it, but I'm still not 100% and I don't want any dirty boys around my girls

Thanks for the info on female plants! Those plants look fine to me, they could just be reaching to the lights, but I'm not an expert. Overwatering causes my leaves to droop down more, so that shouldn't be a problem. As for heat, my thermometer reads around 90*F most of the time which is pretty high, but they seem to be doing okay, so your temperature shouldn't be a problem either. Can't wait to see more pictures. cheers.
them leaves pointing upward is normal, they are just reaching for the light, if they would of been overwatered, or heat stressed the leaves would of been drooping, yellowing, and curling on the edges with a burned tip. ( i know how this look's cuz i did it to my girls lol)
the sexing part is quite eassy, just have them 12 light and 12 full darkness, uninteruptable darkness with no light leaks and it wil show it's sex in 6 to 14-15 day's, the more mature the plant get's, the quicker it show's sex. if you force it to flower when she is still a seedling, or in it's first week of veg it will take up to 13-14 day's.Thanks for the info on female plants!

This helps me on my grow.. I just had this very problem you mentioned.. Still trying to get my temps down..them leaves pointing upward is normal, they are just reaching for the light, if they would of been overwatered, or heat stressed the leaves would of been drooping, yellowing, and curling on the edges with a burned tip.

Don't worry for now, they look damn good , and soon they will go in overdrive, growing like crazy all over the place
