Sucks when you are doing all this work and no idea if they are girls..... I'm in same boat. If I end up with a bunch of males - I can get clones locally, but they won't be free. Probably about $5 or $10 apiece. Nice thing about clones is ya know they are girls and the ones I would end up with are very high quality strains.

Good luck man!! Looking good!!

They look good. It does look like you are soaking them a bit with the light tho. I would say just back your CFLS up just a bit. This will take the droopy look out of your plants and they will reach for the lights. When they get a bit bigger you can move the CFLS right back down on top of them within a inch or so. But when they are small like that just let them reach up just a bit. They look healthy keep up the good work!!

I say keep the lights where they are. I would watch your watering ... It should be every 2-3 days right now...and maybe just straight water and wait on the the nutes for a few weeks.

Water I am using now I let it sit for 24 hours.
I was thinking earlier today about when to start nutes since week 2 is coming up, but I guess it just depends on when the plant needs it
Thanks for the advice bro, I'll make sure to not overwater.

When I helped friends with their grows under 1000w mh lights - we would water based on the weight of the pot. You can pick up a 1g pot and feel how heavy it is. Right after a watering they are heavy. When the pots are just about dry they get significantly lighter. Never let them get totally dry, but you'll begin to get a feel for how light the pots should be when dry enough to warrant another watering. Pick them up just an inch off the ground every day. Feel the weight. Even a 3g pot is easy enough to pick up just a bit and feel it. 5g pots is getting a bit too heavy for this old mans back.

A light pot and wilting leaves is a sure sign that it's starved for water and stressed.

Thanks for the heads up man.

I think I can tell just by looking/feeling the soil. Although once I start watering more often I'll pick up the pots to determine when to water.

Got 2 clones today from a "friend". They look like they're showing some deficiencies...
He said to keep them in the solo cups for another 5 days before transplanting..
Could any give me some suggestions as whether or not I should add some nutes to them?

Possible magnesium def?

Update: Clones began drooping last night. I made sure spray to them a few times with water. Just checked them this morning and the leaves are less-droopy.
Lights are currently off and I will post pics later on.

Anyone have some suggestions for my clones?

Figured I'd post an update...

I removed one of the seedlings because its growth was not improving at all. I think it had some tap root damage when I first put it in.
So now I have 3 Bagseed, and 1 Dank seed(Dank seed seems to be doing the best).
My two clones are looking alright... I think...

Here's some pictures..

thoughts?

Just received my dyna-gro Nutes.

Anyone have recommendations as to when I should begin feeding?

Saturday (June 4th) will be 2 weeks from sprout..
Not sure as to when I should begin feeding the clones either.
I guess just wait until the plant signals for something is my best bet.

Here's some pictures:

Day 14 is Here.
Here's some pictures: Clone #1, Clone #2, and The best looking seedling(GDP)

Anyone with recommendations as to when I should start nutes? I'm thinking 1/4 tsp Foliage pro and 1/4 tsp Pro-Tekt

Those plants are looking good... better than the earlier pics. The clones look like they're ready for some nutes. Not sure if it's time yet for the seedlings...although you could certainly try a light dose and see what happens.

you are going to need more lights. you want to try and shoot for atleast 100 watts per plant. so work your way up to 500w using more cfl's best of luck my friend!!!
