How much vertical space do you have? How tall are the plants now?
It looks like they are still a little small...

I have 28 inches in this cabinet. so im figuring about 2/3rds more growth. Seeing alot of preflowering happening before i changed to 12/12

Today they seem to really like the 12 hours of sleep, lots of new growth. In the beginning the pH seemed to be a struggle and now not so bad and it really makes a difference, the nutrient burn looks much better and after some reading from the bubbleheads. it may have just been pH lock more so than nutrient burn.

I couldn't snap a picture tonight, Just got time to check Ph and poof the light went out. I will get some pictures tomorrow. looks like 3 out of the 4 white widow are females. the other 4 are hard to tell but it looks like 3 of 4 are females, yet to be decided.

Awesome pix!! Don`t let all the haters discourage you. The space program got men to the moon with computing power about as strong as a Super NINtendo game. They may not quite be their yet but LED will be the future!!

So far they look good. A few more days and i will be chopping a couple down. today for sure its 3 females and 2 males, No sex yet on the other 3.
Here are some pictures of the males under the magnifying glass.

imo if your bottom leaves arent getting light , cut em. i (personally) would keep the bud ones , just take fans that dont get light. also remember to sterilize your scissors.

I found a way to get the round 90 watt 70/10 from china for 199.00 and a 300 watt for 589.00. there are three screws that have hot glue in them to stop you from opening it. just get a screwdriver hot and remove them. You could possibly drill three small holes in the hood of the unit. But it wont breathe with it mounted directly to the wall, You would have to mount it with some long bolts with spacers between the intake(top) and the wall. it could be done but they are a bit heavy.

Thanks T
Pulled one of the white widows tonight, darn male
. How long can i leave a male in before its trouble? Just to make sure it is a male.

Funny thing a buddy of mine couldnt wait for me to pick up a dead leaf so he could roll it up. he took the male I pulled home. i just shake my head and smile.
