2 to 4 times the size of the container used for veg should be sufficient for flower....

2) Since I am 95% sure that 2 are males, I need to remove them obviously. Of the 5 remaining should I transplant them before I actually know the sex and then get them out if the turn out to be male or should I wait until I am certain of the sex before I transplant them?

Your plants desperately need to be transplanted....do so, then remove any males.... They should have been transplanted, at the very least, the day they were put into 12/12....

3) Is it too late to top them and try to keep them shorter so I don't have to move them to the floor? Or should I have done that prior to moving them to 12/12 ?

Technically, you can top....but it will cause some stress and might delay flower a bit.... I wouldn't if I were you....I would remove the lower growth instead and leave the tops where most lumens are available....but it's up to you....


This newbie appreciate any and all help or advice. I have been planning this for over 2 years reading up on everything I could and now I am fearful of the details and have no self confidence yet.

Nothing builds confidence like experience....have fun:thumbsup:

Thanks

What is under each one of your pots? Looks like paper towels....been drying out fast?

CanGroIt Reviewed by CanGroIt on . Let's talk about sex babe ~ I am a first time grower with these statistics - My whole chamber combined is 5 foot X 3 foot on a table top, that is divided in 1/2. Everything is covered in reflective material and one chamber is 18/6 and the other is 12/12. Each Chamber is a 125 watt CFL with reflective covers. Have the 12/12 basically sealed shut so no light comes in. I am using the FoxFarm ingredients and feeding according to the schedule. I started 7 plants on May 9th and they have progressed wonderfully into the Rating: 5
