Thankyou PetFlora, I checked my girls this morning before lights out and they were all looking great, No more male pods yet. The plant that I had to trim the lower branches off of is now exploding hair's everywhere on the main cola. On the other plants Im thinking about going threw them and trimming the little sucker branches. Which bring me to a question, Should I trim those little sucklings off or leave them and harvest the plant in stages?

Quick Video Update! One Question, Is it normal for Trichome production to start at about 10 days after showing female flowers? The couple of plants I grew Outside Never Produced trichs this early, then again it was outdoor and different strains. Humidity in the tent is about 15-25% And Im thinking that is what may be causing the early Trichs.

That's fair enough buddy. I was under the assumption that there was a genuine reason for not going HPS, it's just 500w of CFL is going to be a real ass hat to deal with lol.Well I would've loved to buy a HPS from the get go, But I didn't have the Cash upfront to start, Had a bunch of mismatched cfls, Had to buy a few cfls/soil/sockets/buckets/emergency blankets ( 100 bucks walmart Credit ) had to buy nutes (60 bucks cash) seeds ( Free ) double sided tape ( 4 bucks cash ) So to start I invested around $60-$70 in cash, 100 on walmart credit. with the amount of upfront cash I had at the time it just wasn't feasible >< Broke stoner atm, Times are hard and work is slow, Great combo.
Trust and believe sir, as soon as I can Ill be investing in a HPS, so I can run a Veg Closet with cfls and flower closet with HpsHeat hasn't been an issue, Only thing that was a problem was during veg when my humidity was at 10-25%! Now that i'm on flowering im hoping the low humidity levels will help produce some more resin on the plants!
Also, to add to your final question written in the post above this one, trichomes can develop at any stage during flower, it's all down to the genetics is all. Nothing to worry about. But your humidity is a bit low, perhaps put a damp cloth or something in there to raise the humidity, but not by too much, someone with more knowledge can give you more info on this humidity thing though.

Plant 1- 2.6 Oz's Wet
Plant 2- The Super Fruity one ( Still growing, 2-4 weeks left )
Plant 3- The solid single cola ( Still Growing, 1-3 weeks left )
I'm Hoping That it will at least dry down into 1oz, If I get a little more Hell yeah! If it dries to be a little less i will be comming in under my 1oz min goal per plant.
