Your plants are looking nice and healthy to me. I would advise that you use at least 1/3 of your new lights for side-lighting, and try to spread them apart a little bit. This should help you get many more flowering sites.

As far as the sex, I wasn't able to see anything that looked distinctive, it all still looks like new growth to me. You should see the pre-flowers in the next week though. Don't worry, I just had my first grow and sexing the plants is A LOT easier than I thought it was going to be. The White pistils on the female stand-out clear as day. And the males preflowers stay green and form a bunch of rounded growth (and obviously no white pistils haha)

Good Luck! ...and by the way, your frog is cool as sh*t! :bigjoint:

thank you for the info i plan on side and under lighting the heck out of them in the next day or two they wake up at 6am i get out of work at 2am so i usually check them around 12ish and i have a long 30 socket cord to put the lights in so i should be able to light everywhere..

so when you clone a plant can u use the topping to start a clone???
