I have a quick question. I plan on putting the plants on 12/12 tomorrow and was unsure about the best way to do it. Should I keep the wake up time the same as it is now. Lights on now is 6 am and lights off is 12am. Could I switch lights on to 12pm and let them turn off at 12am or should I keep lights on at 6am and turn lights off at 6pm. Does it matter?

They look pretty dank for some bag seed man. Respect bro.
Same thing I thought. Couldn't believe how well they are growing. I will add that it was some cronic bud that I got an oz of and it only had 4 seeds in it. All 4 are currently growing i just have 2 though and the other 2 are at about the same pace as mine. I am thinking that most likely there was a hermie in an indoor mass production or a male pulled late. Only 4 seeds in 28 grams is a little weird but I just hope mine turn to females. I will note that I saw earlier one little hair coming from the node on one of the lowest branches it almost looks like it hasnt broke the "skin". anything to this or am i just crazy??? lol thanks for everybodys input

Thanks and overall up to this point after reading about everyones grows I am pleased with where I am at on my first grow. RIU is awesome and has helped me so much. Hopefully I can eventually help and provide as much support as everyone has given me.

Well it has now been 41 days total and 9 days in flowering. Both plants are showing signs of sex and it appears to be the 50/50 ratio of male to female. I am not 100% sure yet but i think that is the case. I will post some more pics in a few days when I am 100% sure but they have really been getting their stretch on. Both are already about 10" taller than when they started flowering.

No I am definitely not keeping the males unless they are both hermies. I know the pictures are not that great but have no micro mode on my cheap camera.

Is it possible that the pistills could come from a small ball similar to pollen sacks? I read about this somewhere and was unsure of its validity.

if both are female i will need at least three more lights. I can already tell the branches are not getting enough light. should i turn the florescent tube vertical instead of horizontal?
