lookin pretty damn good...still see some yellow leaves? know whats causing it? your lighting systems sounds awsome...400W MH, 8 40W CFLs, 2 4ft 40W floro tubes!! they say the more the marryer so your plants must be happy as hell, lol...question, do you have to put new water in the bubbler, if so how often?

I trimmed some leaves and lower bud sites last night so hopefully the plant will focus on the well-lit ones. I end up filling the bubbler every other day with two gallons of water - on average.

oh ok, thats a lot more often then i thought...does it evaporate or does it just need to be fill with fresh water? im planning on using a bubbler system and am tryin to learn all i can about the system...with your experiences whats the most difficult part of the system? look forward to new pics!

very nice grow. i want to build my own tub like you have there, if you dont mind, can you list the supplies you are using for your big tub, and what nutrients also. i want to do a similar setup, except probably only 6 plants and less lights.

Nighttrain - I am using one of those car sunshades and it is working well. I am also using reflective wrapping paper on other areas.

Plants were flipped to 12/12 on 1/19. I was a little over-zealous pruning lower growth that was not getting light. The plants weren't very happy and I might have sacraficed a few good bud sites. I also cracked the main stem on one of my nicer looking plants... disappointing to say the least. The plant isn't dead yet but may well be on it's way. I setup a homemade C02 chamber that hopefully will help the plants. The setup I used is a 2 liter with a tube running into another container so it is submerged in water. I have read this helps the yeast mix last longer because it is not exposed to as much oxygen. The mix overflowed the 2 liter a little bit which is why the smaller container has some yeast/sugar mix in it. All I can do is sit and wait...

Plants look a little bit better today - except for the one with the snapped stem :-/ I am thinking most are showing as female though!! Check these pictures below as they are the best shots I could get... the rest of the plants have the same look.

Are these balls and flowers?? BTW I already cut one down so I will be mildly disappointed if I just murdered a woman.

Bummer dude!
Pictures are hard to judge, but from here you look like a lady killer.

>If it aint got a short stem with balls on the end it aint a male.

>If it has A vulva shaped mass with a distinct whitish hair its a girl!

FOR SURE WHEN THEY START TO PUT ON A FLUFFY FLOWER MASS THEY ARE LADIES!

Rapture - I could see if I fukced something up in the grow and forced all the plants to hermie (via res changes with 40 degree water once or twice) however I have at least 8 of 12 plants that look like those pictured above. I think the other 4 are going to look like that by the end of the weekend. Now... I bought the seeds from a seedbank (non-fem) and it was two different packets of two different types of seeds. What are the odds of 12/12 males?

there is a 50/50 chance they will be male or female. the pictures you posted with the plants that have pollen sacs everywhere are males so you should get rid of those.any plants that dont have them yet keep them and wait to see the sex there is a really low low chance they will all be male.that 40 degree res change my be the reason why some turned out hermie like you said.if they are all male or male and some hermies get rid of the male and keep the hermies and every day just carefully pick off the pollen sacs and mist the places where the sacs were with about 75 degree farenheight distilled water and at least you will get some bud.is there any plants in your bunch that havent shown sign of sex yet or that you know are all female???

NOOOO... that is the crazy part. All the plants that are developing look to be in various stages on the way to looking like the pics above. THIS BLOWS...

OK well I swapped out the light to HPS (wow it looks weird) and cut down the males. Final count out of both soil and hydro - 9 hydro males & 3 hydro females - 7 soil males & 2 soil females. I transplanted the neglected female soil grows into the hydro setup for whatever added buds they will provide. Only into 2nd week into flower so they might grow a good amount... dunno. Here are a few pictures...
