That plant looks sick. Take a full pic of the plant. Also it’s too early to tell if it’s male or female.

Thinking though... when the water falls through the holes in the flower pots... i set a 5 gallon bucket underneath to catch the water... so that it doesint leak onto the carpet where they are growing... just looked under the pot... and its full... so that probably explained why he was sick... he was probably starting to have root problems from the nasty water touching him.... so i just emptied the bucket and it even smelled bad....

Do you not have the pans to go under the pot? That poor plant has issues you need to fix before you worry about flowering. They seemed to have stretched out. Also if that’s good soil the ph won’t get out of whack I never ph anything for my soil grows. Good soil will handle itself without issue buffering the ph.

I switced from buckets to a long pan like tubby that i had in storage... it is 1inch tall by 4 feet long and 1 or 2 feet wide... so it holds all 3 plant's in a setup like a saucer... and i will empty it daily depending on the amount of water i add... but at least now i can clearly see when the water falls through... and when i said pots.... i meant that I was using a slightly smaller bucket with holes in the bottom as a pot... which is why when I put the drain bucket underneath i also built-in a plastic seperater to hold the pot aka smaller bucket above the water line... but since i couldn't see the water falls through the water level got so full, that the water was above the seperater and was partway up the pot...

But i believe that I fixed the water problem... and as for soil a was using potting soil in a yellow bag from ace hardware...

It's just i was gone... and i left the care of the plants to a friend who was adding more than the recommend settings for these...... and probably added way to much..... and no he didn't use all that's missing from those bottles.
. I had been using some for months with my dream herb plant so the bottles were part way empty to begin with...

But thinking if my plant's have anymore problems i will probably transplant to big plastic plastic pots my mom has in her green house.. since she will be moving anyway so all i would have to do is go pick them up... i think they were like 10 gallon pots...
