Hi all, I have a quick question. My girls(I hope) have been under MH for about 2 1/2 weeks. They look fine, but I had a problem with them showing sex under 18/6. I came home from a long weekend to discover a male amonst the ladies. I took care of it right away and some of the others seem to be showing signs of being girls. But not all of the crop was showing and my only option is to flower all at once, so I took clones from all plants and will put them under 12/12 to know for sure once they recover, but is it alright to try and hold everyone to the same schedule? I have included pics of my garden. Id really like a few opinions as to how they look. This is my first garden and I started them from bag seed and they have been under 18/6 since March 26.
Please look-need advice

Can't tell from that far away as far as the sex. Would need to see some pics as close up to the new sprout (bud) as possible to tell on sex. They look like they are all ready to go into flower like you are doing, then keep a close eye on 'em. 
Sounds like you already know what to look for if you already spotted and got rid of a male.
As far as schedule. . .do you have different strains and were they all started at same time?
Good Luck

Well, Im planning on putting the clones under 12/12 so I can tell for sure what sex they are, I dont want to flower the big ones until I know for sure, and then I will choose my Mothers. When I put them under 12/12 I will also switch to HPS. I would imagine that they are about 3 different strains from 3 different bags! Also, even with my lights and ballast, my temps dont go above about 72, is that a problem (too cool?stress?)

And can I flower the little clones under regular grow flourecents 12/12 to sex the big plants? or do I need to bust out the big guns?(HPS?)
