i only do one transplant into a 2 gal pot and i finish in it ....so your 3 gal has plenty of room to finish out in

I was planning on finishing my grow in 3 gallon buckets. Yours look great right now. What's the final verdict, do you wish you'd upsized?

Also, when did you start giving nutes? I just transplanted out of red cups into 1 gallon pots and I'm using FFOF soil. So far my girls don't even look like they NEED nutes. I've also got molasses for when the time comes... whenever that is.

2 gallon for me two i went with a five last harvest and my buds now are on day 19 they look like day 30 compared to my last i think im getting it down slowly but surely

thanks for all posts appreciate them all. the lights are going off in about 20 minutes going on day 11 of bud. im gonna leave the plants all in the 3 gal pots except the one big bud thats in a 5. didnt mean to get the 5, just couldnt tell the difference :stoned: i trimmed up some of the lower branches today to focus the growth on the strongest tops for nice dense colas hopefully.

along with all the good news i feel kind of stupid about the way my lighting was operating.
i converted one 2 prong outlet into a 3 with a seprate add on plug, once that was settled i was than able to plug my 3 prong extension card into and connect all my lights into the outlets.
I have one T5 that puts out 90 w of fluorescent lighting, along with that i have 2 fixtures that are split twice each. in each fixture theres 2 42w cfl's 2700k's and 1 29 w 2700k's

this is roughly about 400 watts of cfl's going into one 2 prong outlet.
I didnt notice the difference as i slowly added bulbs but it really did make a difference.
I switched the outlet into my surge protector outlet with a switch and about 8 outlets. the bulbs lit up so much and i could notice the difference very easily.:thumbsup:

wish i would have known eariler! i bet this would of made a big difference in the growth of my plants :thumbsup:
i keep going on and on but heres the pics. trimmed up and sprayed down again with some azamax, i still noticed a few spidermites kickin around

So today is exactly 2 weeks i notice pistals are comming in on my WW cutting and looking nice but slowly. as for the other plants still no signs of sex? I've been trying to think of what it could be? along with no sex the plants don't seem to be growing much higher at the moment.
I considered that maybe that because i didn't run a fan and i kept my closet closed for a majority of the time that this could be the cause?
I also thought maybe because i haven't been giving these plants the correct full doses of nuts that they needed threw veg stunting them for there bud process.

At this point i'm scared the sex will show and i will end up with some hermies because they've been so stunted.
Ive checked out others grows and by week 2-3 there pistols are popping everywhere compared to what i have.

Any feed back would be nice this is my first grow and trying to learn from it

I run my girls at 24/0 and when I want to see pistils I put them in the dark for 36 hours and then run a 18/6 lighting schedule until pistils are clearly visible. It usually only takes about 2-3 days after 18/6 schedule for pistils to show. Be patient and positive and i've learned that comparing to other people grows only stresses you out haha. Atleast thats how it works for me as well as motivation to get results. Stick to the 18/6 those pistils are coming it is strange that they haven't appeared after two weeks. There are no light leaks right? Make sure you really get in those girls and check the stems well for herms. :thumbsup:
