nice root system u have there yea u should be just fine but im wondering how u have urs set up ur on a drip like a nft?? mine are hanging down in the res u don't have a res do u? or urs is on a flood and drain table type thing?either way those r gonna be nice i'd advise u to rig up some side lighting as i did to mine and the inner lower flowers thickend up nicely u can make them with the 150w cfls or smalleror if u have a hydro shop close u can buy these lights called sunblaze strips 2ft or 4ft size as anything will help get light under all that growth believe me it helps and u want the most yeild u can get

Here are a couple pics of the setup

The side lighting is something I had considered but never got around to getting them. During Veg I had 2 CFL's in there, once I thought about putting them in there, they seemed to love it, but I took them out when I started 12/12.

I have some doubts now about the sex of these plants and its driving me crazy. There is no doubt a couple pistils on this plant but, is this a male? These two things are only on one side of the stem and these are the only two on the plant. These pics are of the same plant.

I never saw any balls

ok, about the setup, I was getting there, sorry...

So I've read before that a top feed is alot like an NFT, but, lack of experience keeps me from REALLY knowing how to compare the two. Here are a couple pics of my system. There is a 20 gal reservoir, with a small (160gph) recirculating water pump, under the table, which is a flood and drain table, you're right. A 400gph water pump gets the water to 1 main line, then to each plant and drip ring. The drained water goes back into the rez.
