yea sure i can post pics sometime today... the lastt pics look pretty close to what they look now but i can see them getting bigger every day. the 2 largest have pretty well developed 5 prong leaves now... but 2 of them aren't doing well. i think i planted 1 of them too shallow and the stem is rotting where the roots start or something. and i still have one healthy looking plant that refuses to grow like the other... i have 2 very nice looking plants out of my first 4. i got 11 seeds and i got all 11 to germinate... i may replace the ones that aren't doing so well with a couple of the new sprouts... i guess i am showing that i am a noob grower with a few little costly mistakes.

yes i am growing these autos with T5's all the way. I have some 3000K bulbs to replace some of the 6500K bulbs in about another 7 to 10 days. i am going to space them evenly apart. two 3000K then a 6500K then two 3000K and another 6500K and then two more 3000K. 8 bulbs total...

ok i just got back from the hydro store... i got some Cal Mag+ whice is a molassas based product, I got Plant Success Soluble which is from the makers of Great White... it is Mycorrizae that has bacteria to help root growth, and helps plants utilize nutes more eficiently. I also got some cloneing gel, a rapid rooter tray and dome for when i start growing photoperiod plants and start cloning. I am also looking into more lights as well.

ok here are some updated pics of the plants. you can see that i took the 1 plant that was having problems with the root rotting off out of the pot and replaced it with a healthy little sprout from the 7 seeds i just germinated. all 7 of them popped by the way! i have a pic of the nutes i am using... don't know about the non-organic hydroplex bloom booster. i think i am going to take that back to the store and see if he has anything else that is organic. you can also see that i finally lined the doors with reflective material and you can see the pics of my light leaking out by the doors before and after i sealed up the light. sorry for the poor pic quality. i am using my cell phone

ok so i was just checking on the kids and i am pretty sure that i see pistols on the 2 larger plants that have been doing well since i germed them... going to get a lighted microscope to be sure!

ok well i wasn't even thinking... i needed to get the microscope to check for tricomes in a few weeks but should have just bought a magnafying glass. after getting home, and further inspection... i can clearly see tiny pear shaped bumps with 2 tiny white colored hairs growing on the nicest looking of my plants, but i can't really tell on the other one yet...

Ok these are the most up to date pics. both of these plants have finally shown sex and both are female. the one was kind of leaning off to one side of the pot so I decided to go ahead and bend it back towards the center of the pot. I can't believe how fast they are starting to grow. I can see growth ever day! it is very noticable!

ignore the attached thumbnail of the 2 small sprout plants. i can't figure out how to remove unwanted pics...

thanks, i was hoping to have 4 plants that look like these right now but i guess being my first grow there is a learning curve. i dont know what is up with that one little plant. it germinated the same time as the others and got all the same stuff but it is tiny... i guess its the runt of the littler. i am hoping that i get a male and a female out of the last 7 i germinated so i can get some seeds... these females will be too far along to get seeds from by the time i get a male. i should have polinated them a couple days ago if i had a male
