So it's been awhile.

After about a month of growth, all have been repotted to 2 gallon or 4 gallon pots (5 in the 4g). Happy, healthy, 19 young growing smelly plants.

They stink up my bedroom BADLY. With payday 2 days away, we'll be getting smell under control as well as better ventilation and light control. Currently we're at about 18 hours light per day, but the closet leaks light BADLY. That will be corrected Thursday so we can switch them to 12/12.

Preflowers are showing on ALL plants, and I have great hope that most are females from the looks of it. At least half LOOK like they have the little hairs coming out, although I'm reserved over whether they may be the calyx only - we'll see. As I've not dealt with this type of plant before, I'm trying to be patient. BUT, I see so many with positive "female" signs! Looking at other pics online, I THINK I'll be good with figuring out who's male and female as long as I keep up with it.

Currently 1 plant outside and 18 inside under two 4' FL lamps currently - lights are 6500K in color, this week we'll be switching to 2700 and CFLs. We'll be taking power strips, plugging in 3 adapters in each for plug-to-socket and use high wattage CFLs at 2700 color. As many as I can fit in the area we'll looking at. We'll likely keep the 6500 strip lights for now until we find out who's male so we can cut down on closet space usage. Males will be put outside within the middle of a ton of plants so they can grow a decent amount of pollen (my husband's plan) so we can fert one bud site for seeds to grow later.

I'm quite happy with the results. I was VERY cautious with my first pinching, and I didn't pinch enough for them to split. In the past 2 days I've done a proper pinching (I THINK), and it looks like they will be growing well.

We're still on Miracle Grow soil, which I'm fine with. As a beginner, we're also going to use MG Bloom Booster when it's needed. So far, quite happy with the plants, and the plants seem to be happy with our growth for them.

BTW, They REEK. Whenever we walk into our room, it's like a LARGE bag of good quality smokables was left open! I'm wondering if it's an auto-flower type as well as the preflowers are growing. I do know we had a couple days with lower light levels (one of our light's ballast broke so we needed to replace, plus light was on for about 15 hours only a couple days in a row), so that may have lead to such, but... Dunno. We'll see. 12/12 will be cheaper for sure with lighting, but I'm not too worried.
