To be honest I'm a little ashamed of this grow, and wasn't even going to start a thread for it. But I figure its my first and really, whose first grow ever goes that well?
Anyway, I started a plant about 2 months ago because my roomie has been promising me he'll go get his green card...He has yet to follow through. Meanwhile I've planted another 4 seeds about 3 weeks ago. They're all growing in my closet till we get some things taken care of in the future grow room, get lights, and the rest of the massive list of stuff there is to get! Since I'm being forced to house them in my closet, without any legal protection, I can't say that I care too much if they all make it or not. That said, lets get to the specs!
They are housed in about a 30 gal fish tank right now, lined with foil,
with 4 23-watt cfl's.
The big plant was started in some low nutrient peat starter mix, and transplanted into MG Organic choice potting mix 3 weeks ago. The young plants were started in straight MG the same time I transplanted the big one. Side Note: I know MG is not recommended for MJ, I'm just wanting to get enough axilliary nodes to start a bunch of clones in better soil at this point! Eventually I want to switch to Subcool's super soil recipe, but I can neither find all the ingredients, nor afford them right now.
I'm LSTing the big one, hoping it will be female so I can start my clones from all her nodes! All the new growth looks good, but the lower leaves have been droopy, yellowing and dying. I snipped off a few of the fan leaves cause they weren't looking very good. Any clues as to the nutrient burn/defeciency, ph, lighting, ect that could be wrong? Like I said, I'm not really attached to these plants, so I'll probably use the 4 younger plants as test dummies soon, using 1 as a control.
I have a fan circulating air in and out of the closet almost constantly. They were on an 18/6 light/dark schedule till 4 days ago. I switched to 12/12 to sex them and weed out any males. The top of the main cola of the large plant looks like its starting to form a couple pre-flowers, but they're still too small to tell. I'll push them back to veg once thats all figured out.
I'm open to any advice, but I mostly wanted to put this up to be social, get to know the forum and actually be able to show some people what I'm doing in my closet lol! Hope you all enjoy, I'll try to keep things up to date!

none of the others are really showing yet, It almost looks like one has a couple pistils sticking out the top but I'm not positive. Does anyone know when the 'point of no return' is for sexing? I want to put them back into veg for awhile longer and I'm a little worried that the bigger plant will get stuck flowering if I keep the lights at 12/12 much longer... any ideas/suggestions?
