    Day 38/15 picture update. Just wanted to grab a quick pic of the top cola forming on my slightly more mature plant. The other one still seems to just be growing more foliage. EDIT: Here's the full size for anyone who wants a closer look http://i.imgur.com/OKEKf.jpg

    It seems to be all healed up, however the tape refuses to come off and I don't feel like risking a razor blade into the stem. That particular plant is already starting to form a nice top cola, and that's all I'm looking towards growing. (I figure since I'm using CFL's, it'd be better to focus on...

    Howdy. I decided not to re-veg them as they took to the transplant seemlessly. I currently have 2 females now in the early stages of LST'ing. (I got em bent over to save on space and expose more of the stem) I had one other plant left but I wasn't sure what it was, was going to put it in a...

    Day 35/12 No real update today. Some burnt leaves on my female, but nothing disastrous. (She got a little out of hand last night on the growing) But anyway, pictures. Nice shot of the female's pistils

    I am well aware of this, I wasn't confused. Also, that was about 21 days ago.

    End of 33/10 Did a little more investigating on the plant i transplanted. SHE's still growing just fine. I'm 100% on it being female now and quite excited. My other two are still not showing much of any sign of a sex. If they both end up female I'll probably transplant the shorter one and just...

    Day 33/10 update I'm about 85%+ sure that I have a female. I transplanted it without problem into a larger container. Waiting on my other 2 to show flowers before I decide which one of them to keep. Things are definitely coming along.

    Day 32/9 quick update Down to 3 plants now. Two of my five have shown obvious male flowers. Only two of my current three are showing any signs of gender growth. One of which appears to have a very-very small pointed thing growing that MIGHT appear to have 2 nearly microscopic hairs on the end...

    Lol, I am aware. I had zucchini plants about 6 years ago that were up to my chest tall, producing calf sized squash. If it helps ease your mind any better, only 4 survived to garden transplant, and out of those I expect 2 or 3 to take root and grow. Edit: Also, where I live it's a very tight...

    Update day 31/8-ish? My plants are all beginning to show sex little by little. One of which is definitely a male, one other appears to be male, but I'm allowing to grow a bit longer to be sure. My expectations seem to be dwindling. I'll be pretty damn disappointed if I don't get even a single...

    Another even quicker update day 29/6 One of my plants beginning to show its sex. This is great news, as I'm in hopes they will all show their sex before they become rootbound. I'm vaguely assuming this one is a male. The preflowers are just barely showing, but appear as just smooth balls...

    DOUBLE POST MAYHEM. Quick update end of day 26/3 Just a pic update again to show how well my plants have responded to the small nute shot and flowering cycle. Edit: Theres 2 that seem much different than the others. The leaves tend to droop on them a lot during dark hours then perk back up...

    CFL Stealth Box veges and herb

    Well originally there was just 1 that looked real nice, bushy and healthy. Now there's 3 or 4 like that. They're all growing at quite a nice rate and looking very good. I'm in hopes that they will show their sex around day 30-ish. Which is less than a week from now. If the rootbound problem...

    End of day 24, first day of flowering. No real update today. But does anyone else love the contrast of the soft white 2700k bulbs against the green of the leaves?

    CFL Stealth Box veges and herb

    I'm starting them into 12/12 tonight. Took some thinking, but I've decided it my best bet. I have 2 pots ready to go, gonna just let them show sex in the cups then immediately transplant. That way I can know what they are, and if they don't take well to the transplant, I suppose I could always...

    CFL Stealth Box veges and herb

    Day 23 update. Not too sure what I'm going to do at this point. My plants are just small things, but I'm alright with that. Giving the possibility of waiting til they show their sex in veg cycle, but also considering forcing into flowering and transplanting as sex shows. Any input on this would...

    End of day 18 update. They all seem to be doing fairly well. Not entirely sure what I'm going to do at this point. All the plants are quite mature, yet still small. (I like this, as I'm guessing it may increase the possibility of multiple plants flowering in my box without taking much room)...

    Day... 13? update. Have 5 sprouts transferred into small foam cups. Going to continue growing til they show their sex and focus on the females. Will weed out any that don't grow right, sick, pests, etc. One of them has a very long stem, as it was the fastest growing, yet furthest from the bulbs.

    CFL Stealth Box veges and herb

    After an unsuccessful first grow (male) I've set up another round, this time with 6 bag seeds which i will weed down to hopefully 2 females through the process. I'm also getting sprouts started for my garden in the box. I have 6 of each cucumber, zucchini and tomato. Feel free to give any input...
