Also a good idea is to post your updates with the day number at top. Then you don't have to search back and count to know how old the plants are. Also helps new posters to know how old your plant is.

Then when you flip to 12/12 post like this >>> Day 31 - 12/12 Day 1

It is helpful.
 
Thanks flaming I dont know if you can tell but this is the first time ive ever used a forum site :wall: thanks for the bit of info.

can anyone answer my question about about the flower fert and ph pen?
 
UPDATE
Day 45 from sprout - Day 7 of flower

Filling in the netting nicely also noticing some long pistols on a few almost 100% positive I must have had feminized seeds but wasnt told because I only have
females in there.. Just keeping a close eye out for those stressed out HERMIS. My untopped plants are really starting to shoot up so I LST(super cropped) 2 of them today so i could leave my light low. Heres a couple pics after I dropped my lights down, shout out to flaming pie for the advice.

Yeah just keep an eye out to make sure the lights don't rest on the leaf as it will burn it. After watering the plants tend to shoot up over night, so I always raise the lights before night to be safe.

Fans at night are good. Your plant is still respirating and air exchange helps.

Preflowers will form on the main stem usually 4-5th node. a little nub will form and then in a day or two (if they are feminized seeds) two hairs will pop out of the nub.

Actual flowers will happen later at the growth tips of plant. Leaves will grow tighter together and smaller and then little calyx will form with hairs.
 
If you havent been told yet today Flaming pie ... YOU ROCK!

PRE_FLOWERS i think im there so exciting to see my babys growing up :P
Ill have some pics up soon got alittle distracted when a blasted fly landed in my coffee big thick bastard too. YUCK!
 
hell yea. lookin good, how many total females do you have?
I have about 3 or 4 that have pistols showing right now some still just have a calyx that seems like it hasnt opened and shown its pistols.. if there is a nub on both sides of the branch does that have anything to do with weather its male of female? and all of them at the tops have stoped sprouting new leaves and you can clearly see that its densing up at the top does this happen on all male and female plants?

They form on both sides of plant. Some times only one on each side and sometimes two right away on both sides.

If they have hairs popping out they are definitely female plants.
