The second pic is of my female that just showed. The stalk is pretty thick but it looks a lot thicker in that pic cause i zoomed in.

Hey Blow I saw you said you were thinking about getting more lightsand thought I might give you a suggestion. There's a website called lightbulbdepot.com that has 85 watt CFL's that produce 4250 lumens and come in 2700k and 6400k and cost $29 a piece. A little more expensive than the ones you purchased but way worth it. They are called super spirals and are a little larger than the ones you have but still fit in a regular socket. I currently have two and am going back for more. Give 'em a look. Chunk... Lighting fixtures, gu10 halogen, light bulb, lamp, fluorescent, incandescent, metal halide from Light Bulb Depot.

yeah its really helps...thats a small 70 watt hps at the top and 4 23 watt cfls on the sides...the plant is starting to show a lot of white hairs...i don't know if you can see them that good in the pictures though...and the little one is starting to get some hairs also...2 out of 6 plants female is good enough for me for just some bagseed. Its been flowering for about 4 weeks now i believe i haven't really been keeping up.
