quick update! they are definitely on their way!! The one plant is still a lot smaller than the rest not sure it is going to make it, I'm beginning to think it might have poor genetics or something, just doesn't look like a strong plant but I'll keep her going until she gives up. Today thought I noticed a couple of my leaves on one plant. It almost looks like something chewed on it but I didn't see any bugs anywhere. I took some close up pictures of the damage maybe y'all can identify. And nedguy I'm using Plantmax 400W MH Bulb! As soon as I switch to flower I will purchase a HPS bulb! Take it easy y'all!!!

They are in 3 gallon pots and I'd really like to keep them in the 3 gallon so I was thinking about putting them into flower on 5/1/2012 or 5/3/2012 what do you guys think?? Thanks for the replies yall!! Oh and the "caterpillar" I thought I had turned out to be my little puppy having too much fun on behalf of my plants! I guess he liked to nibble on them but that problem is resolved haha

got bored and decided to take some pictures hah but today is exactly 1 month since germination! I decided to kill the weak plant it just was looking so puny. Decided to put my efforts into the stronger 4 plants. And man they are starting to stink!! I didn't think it would be an issue this early lol! I guess White Widow does that lol! Going to get a filter soon. Much love yall!!

Hey y'all just wanted to give an update! My plants are 14" tall and have been vegging for 4 1/2 weeks so I decided to start the flowering schedule. Today is Day 2 on the 12/12 schedule. When I went to the hydro store and asked about a scrubber, I told him I have a 6"in line fan as my exhaust and asked which scrubber size would work. Well he tells me that I need another 4" fan to attach to the scrubber, does this sound right?? I feel like he was just trying to sell me an extra fan. My setup is in the pictures below. Anyway I also added a Hortilux 400w HPS bulb to the mix. I'm guessing it will be a few weeks before I see signs of sex but I'm excited hah hoping they are girls!!

I would like to start off by saying your grow looks AMAZING! Second... Fuck that dude! don't get a 4" fan. If they don't have a 6" carbon filter @ your hydro store you can get one on Amazon (what I did) and it's probably cheaper there. No need for another fan. My next setup I'm going to attach a fan to my filter and then pass it through my lights with a booster in between my lights. That way I filter and cool the lights. If it ends up being too hot then I will figure something else out! But I got a basement calling my name!
