!!Need a little help with my operation!!

Hey everyone,

First time growing indoors. Just had a few questions maybe you all could help me out with.

Currently growing some blue dream, GSC, and mendo purp.

On week 8 from seed.

I'm running out of room in my tent. They are in 3 gal containers. I really want to transplant once I figure out sex. Then flower the females obviously.

Im running a 600 watt. I may replace with a 1000w when I flower. the tent is 5x5x7. I have 33 inches to from the top of the plants to the bottom of the light plus another 13 inches to the ceiling.

So I guess my questions are when are they going to show sex? It's been 8 weeks.
Do I need to flower now to avoid out growing the tent?
Would a 1000w light be over kill?
Should I transplant into 5 gal containers for flower?

Here are some pics

Any input would help guys thanks in advance!

Those have no signs of sex yet(or you need to look harder)you need to flip to 12/12 now or in the next week or 2. Those plants will double if not triple in size during flowering. Unless you can raise the light it will become a problem. I would also transplant them before you flip to flower.

Okay thanks. Would you throw the 1000w in there? I already have it just need to swap bulb and ballast.

I'm not disagreeing with calismokes , but I like the 600w , but if you can control the heat go for it.
