This is my first real grow. I'm currently in month 2 and am about to flip to 12/12. I'm using a 600w hps and 6 flouros. Ventilation and air conditioning, no co2 yet. I'm using miracle grow soil in 5L buckets and fox farm three-part soil nutrients. Please comment. I'm wondering wether i should top the plants or just leave them alone. Also do they look ready for flowering??

i haven't taken pics in a while, but i'm happy to say that all 7 came out to be female. 6 of them are in flower and one is still vegging for clones later on. I'm going into the second week of flowering and preflowers with pistils have developed all over the plants. Colas are begining to form and the plants are getting dense. Unfortunately i didnt know how to top the plants so they went into flowering without. Does anyone know if its bad to expose plants to a house light to check on them during dark hours?

no light at all should touch them during dark times, but i heard you can use a red lens flashlight...

no light at all!!!!!
keep them in TOTAL dark for 12 hrs when flowering
Any light will weaken the harvest
good luck looking good so far

Cool, i think that worked. I have been without a camera for quite a while now, but finally got some new pics. These are about 7 or 8 weeks into flowering. I'm getting ready to cut them down in a week judging by the 40-50% amount of reddish brown hairs. I actually got a 100% female ratio from the wonder woman seeds i got from nirvana. Thank you Nirvana! It was my first grow so i was using mixed potting soil and 5 liter buckets from home depot. No co2 or anything yet because of cost and the fact that the room isn't completely sealed off. I can't wait for my first harvest, but i also don't want to rush it.. so based on the photos when do you think i should chop em down?

here are a few more pics some under the 600w hps and some in the daylight
I would get a 30x-60x magnify glass. Thats the best way to tell. You can find one for about $12 at radio shack. They have one called a pocket microscope. When about 50% of the trichs are amber under the scope its ready.

Your plants look great. How long did you veg for? I hope mine turns out looking that good.
 
wow dude those are some sexy little plants. there straight up too! not alot of side stems if you toped it it would have produced alot more colas, there bad ass looking though, good shit looking forward to seeing right before harvest! are they hard too grow cause im thinking about trying these!
 
at about 28 days of 12/12 my wonder woman,the topped one,all of the lower water leaves turned yellow and fell off.this did'nt happen on the other,untopped one yet.I guess they are 2 different phenotypes.No male flowers in sight. The topped one has 8 nice colas,this pheno likes to branch a little more than the other,although still not horribly. I guess the leaf thing is okay?
