Day 42/3
Got rid of the CFL's and moved the 96w 6400k T-5's in. Pain the ass to get it in, and it isn't really secured well. I have a bad feeling its going to eventually fall. Going to be adding the panda film soon, and then will actually secure the T-5 fixture. Still no sign of sex on day 3 :(42.jpg42-2.jpg

Day 43/4:
Pre-flowers seem to be forming on the internodes. Still can't tell what sex, but i am going to guess and say the bigger plant is a male and the smaller is a female. All i need is one female and I'll be happy. T-5 fixture is holding up but unfortunatley they are 6400k bulbs. I do like the new blue color in the box though.

Day 44/5. Still no sure sign of sex. 5 days into flower and im pretty sure this is the worst part of the grow. I started using FF tiger bloom to try to encourage them to flower.

Day 46/7: So i finished my first successful week of flower AND today i saw one lone calyx with 2 nearly microscopic pistils on the larger plant, which kind of suprised me. I marked off the branch with tape so i could tell if any new ones appear tomorrow morning. No sign of sex on the other, but according to probability it shouldbe a male. No need few seeds. I was thinking about starting a couple 12/12 from seeds for the fun of it.

Day 49/10:
Only 50 days left or so. This time is flying by. The super crop really helped on, most of my main nodes look like "J"s. Hoping their stretch is over cause they are only a few inches from the top of the lights. Probably not going to re-do the box until after this grow. There are 2 calyxes, 1 on each side of every node of each of the 8 tops. The pistils are noticeable from a distance now and are about 1/8" long. Hoping I start to see some sugar leaves coming, but i bet it wont be untill atleast day 14. Still no sign of sex on the smaller plant.

I wish... This is a 100% stealth grow. I have a 20 plant or so outdoor grow coming up in late April, this is just to get a grow in, and maybe start some photos indoors before bringing them out so i can get an extra month or so of veg.

build more stealth spots. i just got a 30gal tote from a lowes on sale for 8$ made it into a little area to flower males. with 3 splitters and an old computer fan.
if i covered the inside with black and white plastix it would be light proof. got it sitting on its side length wise so i can fit about 4 plants in 1gal pots. you could grab one of those 55 gal for 20$ and grow quite a bit in there with an awesome cfl setup.

just keep you mind open.
