Greetings to those other growers I'm trying to collect intelligence from... Your expertise on this matter will be very appreciated. As my name states, my blood run green and I have been smoking since I was young. I'm tired of shelling out bucks...so here I am, starting an era of growing my own buds.

I embarked on this mission maybe 6 weeks ago. I successfully germinated my seeds and put them in 4 inch pots. I had 8 altogether. After reading some FAQs on the boards, I am going to get rid of my 2 males and I suspect their pollen might have gotten on my other 6 female plants. What kind of consequences are we talking about if this took place?

As for remaining 6 females, It has been more than 30 days. First three females are growing nicely but nearing only 1 foot. I have seen pictures of bigger plants at one month old. My other three female plants is less than a feet long, does look healthy but... small!

Two mistakes I might have made:

1. I left them in the 4 inch pots too long... I just transplanted them into a bigger pot 3 days ago.

2. The room I built in the basement for the lovely plants... Does not have strong air circulation.

Take a look at my pictures and give me feedback on my setup. I used miracle-gro potting soil. The better females are placed under their own 100w CFL bulbs and reflectors. The lesser females share 4 foot 2-tube flourscent light.

I keep them on 18-6 lighting schedule but occassionally leave lights on for 24 hours since I wanted them to grow quickly. Was this my third possible mistake? Did you see F#1 & F#3 having some flowering done? How did that happen?

I sure hope I don't have to start all over again!
