female! i didn't see any balls which is a great sign. lol. From what I can tell of your room size, you appear to have lots of room. My pots are all pretty much touching each other, and it looks like you have way more room than that so I would say you are in good shape. Also, LSTing your plants is a good way to keep the size down, I don't know if you have read about it yet but it is definitely worth trying, at least as an experiment. LSTing can also make your plants more spread out, if that is what you want as well. It is beneficial cause more buds get more light that way. More light= bigger buds My biggest plant right now (Check out the thread entitled "All Stage Grow Log W/Lots of Pics"), was topped, and then bent over right afterwards. What has resulted is a huge (but manageable) 4-main cola plant, with many many other bud sites, all getting lots of light because of how we trained the 4 main tops to grow outwards. I'm really proud of it. Check out the pics.
