ps ..400 watt HPS is 55,000 lumens...excellent for 3-5 flowering females.
I currently have great circulation through the plants. They seem to be developing very healthy so far... I am unaware of any complications that may arise in the future due to the heat condition.

So you're saying veg them for 4 weeks and then switch to the 12/12 light cycle and sexing is RIGHT after? Also do I have to switch from my ghetto 2-litre bottle set up to say... a 5 gallon drain able pot?

I currently have now about 15 plants under the light. Since I have no feminized seeds I am trying to make sure I get the most females possible and healthy. Is it normal for people to do this or am I doing a nub thing here?

Also I noticed one of them has a longer stem than the others (keep in mind in veg for a week) and it seems to have a weak support and droops down due to top heaviness. It's still a nice healthy green though, but just weak stem.

Thank you very much everyone to take the time answering my nubbiness.
