If I've somehow over watered I can confirm it by sticking a chopstick down the tube to look for water evidence. I don't really use it anymore since I'm much more in tune with my system now. It's a carry over from the phototron system I once used.

I wouldn't say it's impossible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4FAqd8-Xmw

Overwatering is caused by watering to frequently. Not by giving it to much water when it needs it. Always water until you get a decent amount of runoff from the bottom of the pots.

they look ok man but they also look a little over fed AND a little over watered, ...it also looks like you could really use some perlite in that soil, and that would really help with the over watering, your rootzones really need a wet/dry cycle of sorts, marijuana does NOT like wet feet.

very true....I put a bubbler in my solutions for watering overnight. and I have no holes in my pots.

Why no holes. Perfect watering schedule or not, thats just asking for a whole host of issues.

i just picked up one of those 3 way testers light ph and moisture.
accurate enough to get a general idea of what the roots are seeing

I wouldnt trust it too much. Or make any changes based on what it reads. Your plants will show signs of pH stress before that meter will. But if you are going to use it be sure to have a scotchbrite pad on hand so you can clean the probes of oxidation before each use. And being you have no drains holes in your pots any buildup or pH issues will most likely be zonal(bottom of pot)where the probes probably wont reach anyways......
I'd probably re-pot now mate, as its easier to remove the plant if it does get too root bound...I literally had to yank mine out of their 8'' diameter pots after about 5 weeks veg as the roots were spilling out of the bottoms!! I use 7l pots now and even then 8days into flower hey ho..im seeing the roots at the bottom peeking out lolstopped watering for a couple of days, they look perky now
I experimented with a number of small pots. Plants grown in 3/4 gallon mini-pots yield around 15-20 grams/per.
The most efficient "smaller" pots for me has been 7-quart pots that are 6" x 9 1/2" x 11" tall. Got a slew of them at the Dollar
Store for $1 each. Important thing is that the pot is taller than it is wide. That means the plants sidebranches will tend to grow
upward instead of outward. So eack plant actually has a smaller footprint under the light. And that means not having to brace up branches
and bigger yields because more plants fit under the light. When I'm using the 7Q pots for clones I FIM them at 3 weeks in dirt then they
get another week to veg before I switch the lights. With the FIM'ing, short veg period and more plants I can get 30-45 grams/plant cured.
Good luck, BigSteve.

Now Ive got three plants, on in a 6 litre pot, two others in maybe 2 liter pots.
the ones in the small pots have shown that they are females, but the big one in the big pot hasnt...im a bit worried that the one in the big pot turns out to be a male.
but it has similar "flowers" like other two...does male flowers look like female in the beginning?

I got 24grams per plant of cured topshelf buds. with no holes in the bottom. so I'm staying the course. 1 gallon milk jugs cut open and about half full of medium.
