Yea, they're compact T5's, they use different bulbs than my current T5.. Kinda like 2 4ft t5's made into 2ft, so 2 bulbs = 10k lumens instead of only 4,000 lumens for the regular 2x2ft t5.

I wish my plants looked bushy like some of the ones on here.. I guess they're fimming or something to make them like that.. Mine are starting to look similar though with all the branching out.

I see these really small things developing on one of my plants, but really nothing to be sure of yet. It's been a little chilly lately.. hitting 80F in the growroom. Lowest my thermometer said was 76F i think. Of course, I have no idea if it's accurate.. Since I raised my lights higher and higher it's been showing lower temps, but I can't really find a place for it so it's at canopy level.

I think that in a week, week and a half I should see sure signs of sex. Maybe 2weeks for the second plant, it's not as far along.

Yea I didn't do that 48hr darkness thing because I have young ones in there, it wouldn't be a good idea. One of my young ones is on the 5th set of leaves, and the other one is on the 4th set.

I keep them as close as I can without burning really.. That seems to be about 2in.. They seem to like it like that. I did keep them at 1inch but I had troubles with them growing into it before I got around to raising the lights.

checking today I found that on one of my plants it looks like the smaller one is male ball type things are showing up on it. The bigger one has yet to show anything.

Is it normal for the lower leaves to die off? I'm noticing that the lower leaves are turning yellow, the ones with 3 points and 1 point the others are still green. I'm going to add a little flowering nutes today and see if it's nute problems, I'm not sure.

yea, I really don't know if it's a male or not, but it looks like it is.. I'm not good with sexing though since this is my first grow and all I've seen is pictures.. I found a brown bug in my grow room and killed it I dunno what it was, something I haven't really seen before. Kinda looked like a brown grasshopper. I don't know how it got inside though.

I'll get pics up soon though, I didn't get to that yet.
