Here is a picture of each plant. I will probably take more tomorrow. Seeing as how I am so damn tired from working on that grow box all day. day 17 of third plant taken at 140 am january 4th 2012.JPGday 27 of second plant taken at 140 am january 4th 2012.JPG
I increased my growing height/room to 3 and a half feet which is perfect for me. I think in a week I am flipping the lights to 12/12 and start flowering.

good idea to flip the light cycle, they will stretch a bit but you should be just fine.

Make sure you're thinking about some sort of light trap for your ventilation system. It doesn't matter now during veg, but in flowering, you don't want any light leaking in through your air duct.
Already have that figured out my friend. :weed:

Coming out good although the taller one is showing signs of a male plant only reason i say this is because how spaced your nodes are.

Really? Because I see the nodes being pretty close. A male plant would have more spacing, and it would be taller and thinner. My plant is showing signs of a female also. It could be a hermie though. Which would be alright. I wouldn't kill it, I'd just let it grow. I do hope that it is surely not a male though.

Here are some more pics. I am really impressed by these ones. My plants look so healthy in my opinion. The bigger one has a little purple on the stems because it got chilly in the grow box last night. I also added another CFL this morning. Here they are. day 17 of third plant taken at 300 pm january 4th 2012   3.JPGday 17 of third plant taken at 300 pm january 4th 2012  2.JPGday 17 of third plant taken at 300 pm january 4th 2012.JPGday 27 of second plant taken at 300 pm january 4th 2012   4.JPGday 27 of second plant taken at 300 pm january 4th 2012  2.JPGday 27 of second plant taken at 300 pm january 4th 2012  3.JPGday 27 of second plant taken at 300 pm january 4th 2012.JPG

after I took the pics i trimmed up the big one and man did it need it. those old flappy sun/fan leaves were just weighing it down.

No they have been on 12/12 for about 3 days now and before that they were on 14/10 for about a week and before that they were on 24/0 for about 3.5 weeks. So no I'm not vegging they are in bloom now and are about to go to bed in about 5 mins.

no more like 4 weeks but they are auto's so I could leave the lights on 24/0 if I wanted but flipping the schedule has seemed to push the bloom and slow the height of the big one

it really just depends on how much room you have. they will stretch once you put them in bloom i.e. 12/12. you could veg for 2 weeks and flip the lights if you wanted to, they wont be as big but you can do it.

on my pic of the big lady you see were the branches split at the base of the stock? that is were I topped it originally when it was a youngin so now I have two main branches that will eventually be nice colas in a few weeks.
