Got Some Q's Looking For A's

Hello I am sorta new to rollitup but Ive started my indoor closet grow about a month ago.. its pretty much been just like growing any other plant but now that theyre getting a little bigger I figured it was time for a little help.. Ill post pics, Im still not sure how to tell between male & female.. also you'll notice I have about 3 plants in each big pot.. Im just looking for comments, tips, questions, contructive criticism....

seperate them asap. otherwise not bad. you tell sex by looking for flowers/preflowers. Females create pistils and caylxes. males create pollen sacks.

heres some pics i gathered up from various sources online

My grow operation has been going for about 5 or 6 weeks now and Im starting to see signs of what could be a female plant... Ill post pics
let me know what you think..

put your lights as close as possible, your plants look kinda stringy so bring the lights closer to make them more bushy that will make em grow bigger buds.

well Im growing with my roommates and I suggested it but they're saying to leave the lights where they are throughout the whole process.
majority rules 2-1 on the votes so the lights stay for now.
heres pics, what do you guys think....?

man if you want to get something to smoke out of it, give them bigger pots, remove them from these cups ASAP and seperate the ones in the "big" small pots and this light through flowering, i'll be surprised if you get more than 2 blunts of pistil outa these plants i'm just saying

move the lights closer, you can see they're already starting to stretch thin to get closer to the lights. move them down until you hand feels warm where the plants are.

Not a good idea if you want to grow anything worth while.

First problem. More than one plant per planter. No excuse is good enough.
Second problem. Not enough aeration material in the media. This is essential to keeping the roots healthy. Perlite is cheap.
Third problem. The shop lights you get from the store don't cut it. Trust me. I've been there and failed that. Spend your money on daylight CFL bulbs in the 25w and 27w range (100w equivalent and higher). Use clamp light reflectors as inexpensive sockets. Y-socket adapters will double your bulb capacity for under $2.
Fourth problem. The lack of ventilation and circulation in that room is why your plants look so depressed. In nature there is plenty of fresh air. In your closet, not so much. Install a circulation fan at the very least.

Low wattage bulbs must be kept within a few inches of the plants. You want as much energy as you can get to reach them, so you keep them as close as you can.

The way you determine how close you can place the bulbs is to put the back of your hand beneath the bulb a foot or so away and gradually move it closer. When you can feel the heat radiating off the bulbs, that is too close. For fluorescents this can be as close as an inch from the bulb.

You are keeping your 80w of lighting further from your plants than I keep my 1000w of lighting.

Transplant to individual planters with perlite and organic soil, install some CFL bulbs as close as 1 inch, no further than 6 inches, from the plants in clamp light reflectors, and start moving the air around in that room. You do all these things, ensure you are testing the pH of your water accurately to 6.5 before using it, and water only when appropriate...

You and your friends will be much happier with the outcome. MUCH happier.

this cab has some size to fit an HPS how many sq.ft???

those plants are going to kill each other for one...... two- if they don't fight over soil, your gonna stretch those plants to hell with the lights like that esp since they arent proper lights.... if you stretch them you wont have proper light penetration which will equal poop yield. third- your growing with 2 other people.................................. STUPID

well i actually have aquarium plant light in and we just lowered the light it looks better more legit to say and we'll post more pics up later and the reason we have so many crowded right now is because we can't depict the male from the female and don't wanna kill the wrong one

Growing with Two other people what the Fuck are you talking about? I just want three this is my first time come on now

bro you cant tell male from female till you flower....... sound to me like you didnt read at all of what you are doing otherwise you wouldnt be growing with not 1 but 2 other people....... every person that knows is a 10% increase on getting caught and one of you is gonna want to tell people how cool you are growing pot no matter what you tell me, ive seen TONS of "Co-Ops" go down the poop shoot and thats how it always happens is ohhhh im just gonna tell my girl or ohhhhhh ima fucking boss i grow trees my nigga..... the only ship that wont sail is a partnership. and you will kill your plants leaving them like that so enjoy your poop yield, jail time, and love of stretched out plants not using proper growing methods. what light schedule are you on? what is your grow medium comprised of? whats your strain? what nutrients are you using? do you have ventilation? do you have odor control? how long did you plan this out? is this a one time deal or are you growing to smoke on permanently instead of buying? these are all questions that if you cant answer without consulting your group or have to go look up then you need to quit while your ahead and not being flipped over a barrel by others.

no you asked for an honest response so dont get mad when people tell you whats up..... growing with anyone is a bad idea and growing with 2 is a HORRIBLE idea. I've had roomates that were awesome and our relationship was still strained by living together little alone harboring illegal activities. Someone will run the mouth and it will not be pretty. As far as grilling you over your choices in lighting its because its NOT PROPER LIGHTING. I asked tons of questions because I researched for quite a while before just saying HUH HUH hey guys we could grow some pot for real with my buddies. I have grown many other plants in my lifetime and know how to take care of things other than my own nutsack. So honestly ill apologize if you can answer all of those questions.

P.S. THEY WONT SHOW SEX UNDER THAT LIGHT SCHEDULE!!!!!!

why do you have to yell?
I can see that you know what ur talking about just tone it down a little bit and take baby steps with me hahaha
like I said at the very beginning "first time" Ive done some research but figured this website would help me learn along the way
dont worry your little head about who Im growing with or who knows. Im just looking on info for THE PLANTS
all other information is irrelevant

fine..... switch them to 12/12 or your never going to know. They have been in the same pot for a month so they are already fighting under the soil. If you just kill one and leave the roots they will rot and possibly kill the other plant too. This is why you have to do things with dedication and not half assed which is what im calling your grow just for the security breach.

Ill start 12/12 asap
Im going to keep the most mature plant in each pot... but how to dispose of the rest? safely???
