Decided to crawl into my grow room and shut off the lights and check for leaks... Sure enough, in the dark I was able to see my plants and even tell what color they were... light!!!! I think I have fixed that problem, and am giving them 48 in the dark to see if I can jump start the process. (Climbed in after I "fixed" the problem couldn't see my hand in front of my face). Will post my next update on Sat round 1pm Central when the lights come back on.

Here are some pics... and guess what... where one of the limbs are growing... there is one single speck and it is already on the secondary growth, so I think that it is the first signs of sex. They have enough water so I am giong to leave them alone for a few days and we shall see... btw it really is starting to stink when I open the door.

Time for an update... I have decided to top to keep them short and to keep my light low. I also noticed that the nodes are alternating today. Does that mean that I should start to see signs of sex soon? They are still no a 12/12 cycle. I believe that the light that was leaking in was keeping them from flowering. I hope that I have not ruined this set of plants. I have also reduced the numbers by 4 plants. I now have only three left and maybe only have 2 left in a week. I am going to putting up some more pictures Friday so that everyone can see what progress they are making. Glock, I got to see your babies, and they look great. I hope that I can have something like that really soon. Well good day to all and keep watching for the updates!

Great news... I have found a 400w HPS for $50. I am going to be replacing my cfl's and see if that will help with the flowering. As of yet nothing, however I did notice another spot that hopefully will tell me if it is female or male. So some progress. Pics tomorrow. I don't remember if I said it or not, but I took all the big leaves off so that the light could get to the secondary growth. My new question is this, should I completely remove the cfl's or just change my configuration of them adding the HPS? Temps are already at around 80, but no bugs so I assume that I am ok with that. I am also going to be looking for a cheap fan (since the warm season is over might find one for a song.)

Well, lets take this piece by piece....
Q1. They are only 5 1/2 weeks since they broke the soil.
Q2. Lights are approximatly, on average 2-3 inches, sometime time/places closer.
Q3. Well, they have been on a steady 12/12 uninterupted for about 5 days since the Dark 48 hours.
Q4. Craigslist.org is where I found the HPS for $50. ( just did a search on CL.ORG and that is what I got.)
I am hopeing that I am seeing more signs of sex... if you notice in the fifth pic, I think I see a tell tale sign of preflowering. I was trying to get a better pic in the third pic, but as you can see, it is blurry as hell. ( I am not a professoinal photographer. You got any suggestions Glock? Or anyone for that matter.

i aint tryin to get on u but.....wtf where u thinking!!! that can possibly stun plants or, cause the plant to become a hermi. the only jump starting into flowering u can do is simply 12/12, 13/11, or 11/13. never since the creation of the 1st plant has a plant seen 48 hrs of no light or experienced 48 hrs of darkness.

Do you know anything about botany or do you just like to regurgitate the shit you've read from other morons and pretend it's based in reason?

So was I wrong for doing this, or is Glock right?
