try the reddish for flower and the clear white for veg. when are you gonna go to 12/12? and don't worry about the tall one, my tallest one turned out to be a fem.
I'm already on 12/12 actually, I just thought a mixed spectrum might be beneficial.

Man, I'm not sure if I could keep them alone that long--that reservoir needs to be topped off every couple of hours now! They've only been on 12/12 for about 6 days, so no clear signs of sex yet. I'm dying to thin out the boys though, I hope they start sexin soon!

yeah. i dunno what to do. maybe try and rig up a tube from a gallon jug to the res that'll refill the res as it goes down like one of those pet water bowl thingies

Has anyone ever attempted this? I think I might need to do this at some point.

no, but i dont see why it wouldnt work. it's the same concept as siphoning, but if the water level's up, then no water will come out, but as it drops, water will refill until it's full and stops again. i'm gonna work something out with extra air pump tubing i have tomorrow

You're gonna want those daylight ones for the vegetative stage, it helps to propagate females. You usually won't find the daylight ones in Target or Walmart. You should go to Home Depot or Lowes.

I would like to see what the roots look like, could you take a picture if its no trouble.
Sure thing NewThumb! I was going to take a picture this morning, but my day cycle hadn't started yet, so I'm going to take some later this afternoon.

I was checking out the roots last night actually, and I noticed there's been a buildup of some kind of white mineral on a few of the seed pods. When I squirted it with water, it seemed to dissolve a little. I think it might be precipitated nutrients, any thoughts?

Other than that, the roots seem very healthy, basically filling up the whole reservoir. A few roots have even begun creeping up the reservoir wall, like vines. The taproot of each plant is nearly as thick as its stem. The only thing that troubles me is how I'm going to possibly separate the males from the females in this mess of roots!

"...that reservoir needs to be topped off every couple of hours now!"

Why is that? If they are using that much water, you have a leak.
