The grow looks great. About the pre-flower, I'm with you on that one looks male but i'm not 100% on that, you will know for sure soon.

Thanks for the knowledge Roseman! So I decided that they are now big enough to switch to 12/12. All are showing preflowers (not sure of sex still) and are growing an inch every day! The big one in the back has grown 2 inches in less than 24 hours! They're all at least 10 inches tall with the exception of my 8 inch runt. I'm gonna try out this 24 hours of dark thing to see if it speeds up flowering at all. They will be in darkness from 9pm tonight until 9pm tomorrow, then they will be in light from 9pm-9am every day until they finish. I'm gonna keep them on full veg nutes for about 2 weeks, and I just added 1/2 strength bloom nutes. Next week I will up the dose to full bloom nutes. Any advice would be appreciated.
Looking great man....i think ima go ahead and wait a couple weeks b4 we start flowering i wanna wait till i see alternating nodes and i feel like the longer i veg the more ima end up with....but either way id say ur ready too. so ur gonna go ahead and flower? sounds good 2 me i cant wait to see how ur buds turn out. keep posting those pics i love to look at'em lol

Thanks man. I would veg for longer because I know I will get a better yield, but I want to be positive that they will finish before the holidays. Roseman said the best time to switch to flower is between 5 and 6 weeks, and if you switch when it's only been 3 or 4 weeks you will only get 60-70% of what you would've gotten if you waited. So, if you have the time, you should definitely wait a couple weeks, but I'm just on a timeline.

Haha yeah I'm sure I'll be chopping down a couple this week. I'm hoping for at least 3 females. As for the LST, I was gonna try to tie them to the corners of the grow tent so they would grow outwards more, but they're doing that by themselves. Plus, there will plenty of room for them to grow when I remove the males. Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'll have more pics in a couple days.

Looking good, Lieutenant! Don't rush to judgment on those preflowers though! My two plants were looking like they were gonna be males, but both turned out to be girls.

So my plants just got finished their 24 hours of darkness. There is not really a noticeable change yet, which is what I expected anyway, but I figured I'd update since it's been a while. I now have them on 12/12 lighting with full strength veg nutes and half strength blooms nutes. I will switch to full bloom and half veg on Sunday I think. I'm also now using my 400w HPS bulb, as you can see by the difference in color. I took pics from a couple different angles so you can really see what my jungle looks like. Let me know what you think.
