Maybe work from clones and cut the light cycle to 12/12 sooner next time .
I don't ever wait for plants to show sex before flipping them ? The light cycle chg. will do it for you in 14 days or less .

1000w 3 x 5 x 8 = 1 - 5 gal. bucket , and 1 fem. plant in my world = about 8-12 oz w/ some topping -n- training .

well i wanted to find sex so i could find a good mother and then grow the rest as i did'nt want to flower to show sex then back to veg like sum do that stresses them but it did'nt work out that way so i started in another closed off area a mother so it's all good now but now i just have to deal with what i have so i guess i'll just have to keep bending them down. and u think 6 plants is way to much for that area lol thats nothing i started out with 16 plants and 3 watermelon,2peppers,2 carrots,2 lettuce i grew them all for a month under 1400w mh and them moved them outside and the other plants sum were males and the others i moved.

1000w 3 x 5 x 8 = 1 - 5 gal. bucket , and 1 fem. plant in my world = about 8-12 oz w/ some topping -n- training. and with my plants the way there looking im lookin at 2 or 3 p
