First indoor closet grow/ questions / 18 plants! Lets hope for a turnout
What would happen if I didn't have bigger pots though?? would they still bud? Im fine with the size of the plants i have 18 of them!:p
@washmedical: I have a total of 10 ; 6 are on the strand 4 are in reflector hoods pointed down. Plan on either adding alot more cfls or an hps for flowering.
Also, I just flipped into flowering tonight. Was going 24 on to 12/12 so I should know in a week tops the sex's although I have a pretty good idea.

Even if your not worrid about size, I got a few in 3.5 gallon buckets, and I can see a big difference between those and the ones in the 5 gallons. Buds are bigger, fuller and better looking. Also, plants just look better. After this go, I would personally never go with anything smaller than 5's. But thats me. Im also outside, so space doesnt limit me. I was just lettin you know that mine would def be happier in 5's. And even if your not worried about size, the fact remains that they are gonna have a growth spurt now that they are flipped. And if yhet are alredy that big, in my opinion, I would have def gone to a bigger pot for final before flipping. You know what they say. A gallon for every foot tall. 4 to 5 fotters in 1 to 2 gallon pots doesnt seem to be enough. Can it be done? Sure. The bigger the pot, the more roots. More roots means healthier plant and better buds. Good luck to ya man. Keep the updates commin.

Some updates for you all. The seeds were from amazing buds, not sure of the exact line but I know it was "headies". Not sure if they were from a hermie plant or what. Shipped here from cali normally seedless but one batch had some seeds so I saved em. At this point a good 14 or 15 of the 18 plants are showing female pistols! In fact, every plant is showing atleast one female pistol. I'm worried I might have hermies but who knows. Do hermie plants produce hermie seeds?

Whoa these are gonna big some big plants man!
-Nice growth, and healthy green, lookin good.
Wheres that 400W HPS?
-CFLS are fine for Veg, but the flowering will suffer a lot if you plan to 12/12 with the current lights..
*yes herms produce herms.

I dont have it as of now :| five days into flowering and pistols are showing on ALL plants!!!! I gave them a detailed inspection and as of now there are now male preflowers. There certainly are some plants doing better than others, a few(no more than 3) are only showing a few sets of pistols. Most of them are covered at all the nodes!
I am not certain it was a hermie plant to be honest, I guess I have no way of knowing since I didn't grow it. It was jsut a batch with seeds....as long as I get nugs ill be happy and at this rate there coming!
I thought at this point they'd be suffering with the light setup but their doing wonderful. If it makes it any better the CFLs i am using are fairly high powered @ 300-500w(equivalent(25-68w actual))
What would happen if I just used CFL's for flowering? (goes to look up some cfl grows:p)

Did you plan on transplanting? Just seen your pots look rather small. It would probably benefit you.

Alright guys its been a while! The plants have certainly huskied up a bit Nug wise! No pollen sacks... Im still baffled because it was bag seed. So far I have managed to transplant 6/18 plants into bigger pots. The ones I have transplanted are clearly growing faster and the Nugs are bigger. I will take some more pictures in a few days. These pictures were takin within the last few days, but only 3 plants had been transplanted during the time of the shoot. All the plants are looking good.

As of today we have some varying browning on the leaves I think its over fertilization. Im gonna flush and cut back

How is your your air circulation? Could be the cause for some of that browning. Humidity?

During the light hours the closet door stays open. There is a 16 inch fan blowing out of the closet during the light on hours and at night there is no "ventilation" I do keep the fans running in the closet at night, but theres no exhaust or intake. The Second fan is a 4 or 5 inch fan in the rear of the closet. Note the big fan isnt blowing directly on the plants, but away from them towards the closet door. Immediately left to the closet is the bathroom where I leave the exhaust fan running 24/7. I also leave the bedroom windows cracked. Never got a ... barometer? or whatever meter you use to read humidity but that could definitely be it. But its not happening on all hte plants which is a stumble:|
