...and surprisingly I haven't seen any males.. In my previous grow, I had an "early girl" not the strain, but a girl that showed before any of the other 8 plants.. I've always thought males have a tendency to show first, thats how it has been with my first two, and i've also heard it.. Maybe not.. but I do have one male, three more left to sex.. I'm keepin one male (maybe, havent decided), to make seeds for later grows (and no splitting haha)..

Congrats on the female, males do usually tend to show first, but its not always the case.

Thanks.. I also topped all my plants except for the party cup.. Depending on what it is, I might just let it go.. I still need to find another pot for transplant..

Mate why cfls why not hps i mean you get smaller roots with cfls and slower growth and you cant pump them with nutes as they dont drink as much under cfls so why use they really are over rated.You plants would look miles better under hps with a grolux is the way forward.Ive tried t5s also and they still dont get the roots as big as hps and if we had small mouths and bellys we wud not grow as good same for the plants man look at the roots as the mouth and belly HPS ALL THE WAY This ent ment to be a negative comment tho mate i like your grow just advice from someone thats been ther done that and putting his cfls in the bin lol.Ive Just finished my tests with cfls and t5s enviros ect looking for somethink to run instead ov my 400 watt hps and believe i found nothink that competes.

I dunno man.. I just like cfls.. I do plan to get 4 250watt hps ballasts and bulbs, plus a tent and intake/exhaust from a friend after this grow.. but I will still be doing cfls, but in a smaller space and use my whole room for the kilowatt..

If you do go HPS, it would be better to get one 400, or 600 watter then four 250 watters.

Ye I agree Bigger than 250s maybe get 2 600 dimmables so you can veg with the 400 setting and flower with the 600 and the superlumen setting (IF USING LUMANTEK)Keep the cfls or get a t5 maybe to start the next batch off or like me if you hate the wait get 3 dimmables and use the one on a constant 400 setting to get things ready for next crop thats all i do month befor finish i chuck some more under the 4 ready also clone off the new batch for my clone grow Saves me keeping a mother plant also Good luck Bro.

Actually.. He told me he only has two ballasts, but 4 lights.. so I can only use 2 of the 250s at a time.. and I dont have any grow shops near me, so I can't just go out and by a 400 or a 600 watt hps.. My friend has these lights and he wants to sell me the tent, intake/exhaust, plus the 2 ballasts and 4 250 watt HPS lights for only $125.. I doubt I'd find that good of a deal online or in any store..

It just so happens, when I checked out my grow room this morning, I found another female.. Thats good.. I wanted two plants.. The party cup was the female so I had to kill an unsexed plant to use the bigger pot.. I kept my organic plant going, its going to be the last to be sexed..

Check out the pic of my two females!

Scrapped the idea of a ScrOG.. I dont veg, so its really not for me.. I did however give my plants some LSTing.. They seem to be taking it very well.. I've included a picture of both my females..

I could have this run.. I dont veg mainly because I like to start other plants with other lights, and its all in one room so I can't veg plants while others are flowering, so I do 12/12 on everything..
