Ok I no this is a noob question.... Are nodes the flowers that start between the branches were you tell the Sex... Or How many layers of leaves the plant has???

Alright, just read this whole thread from the start! I LOVE your stealth set up man. Very good craftsmanship.

To answer your question real fast, the nodes are where you should look. you'll see hairs if its a chick and balls if its a dude. You'll have time between the males making themselves known and when you gotta kill them so they dont knock up your ladies, so don't sweat that.
Some general thoughts I've had while I read:
I wouldn't let the stem come that far out of the seeds during germ. as soon as the white tip shows up, I plant. I've heard doing otherwise can stress the roots, but it looks like it wasnt a problem for you.
Also, I would steer away from clear containers. You aren't using them now but i noticed earlier you were.
I would put the carbon filter on the inside on the inside of the dresser, and have a fan sucking air thru it and pushing it outside. This way you do not have to have something sticking off the side of your stealth grow.
I like what you have done with the paint and the light fixture. If you get the 26w bulbs you should have enough light for some nice dank nugs!
I would start flowering when your plants are 60% the height you want them to be. If you build a screen and then twist tie the stems you can get them all to a certain height before you flower. it will take a lil longer but your yields will be better and the nugs will all get plenty of light! As a person who likes to build stuff, this would be a fun project to undertake.
I'm not sure what fans you have going on inside the cabinet, but i would put in an extra one if you dont have it to move the air around the plants. if your plants are dancing then you will get great results!

Finally, try to keep the humidity between 40-60%. especially for flowering, a humidity over 60% can cause you some serious problems. You can get away with up to 80% if you have good air movement tho

Your grow looks great though man. Plants are healthy, your set up is good, and you obviously have the passion
Sub'd and good luck! We both started round the same time so Im gunna be tracking your progress

I know the pics arent to good but its the best my cheap camera will not get that close.... Sorry..

hey dude, if your filter works then thats all that counts! but as your plants get bigger they will get stinkier!

Pistils don't form on the tips of the leaves! they form at the nodes. heres a picture of one of my ladies from yesterday:



The white things sticking out where the stems come together (like in the center of the pic) is what you should be lookin for. your plants are lookin healthy btw. peace

Thats cuz I'm growing an autoflowering strain, so mine are already flowering. for you, with the KC strain, I would expect to see pistils between days 28 and 35, unless you switch to flowering before that

Don't give up hope man. my best bet, you'll know within less than a week of today

Ok My Buddy Found these lights at Princess Auto In Toronto.. HPS 70WATT witch i think is better than cfls.. and good for what i need it for..for 70 bucks you cant complain... Check It out let me know what you guys think... Im assuming its ideal for stealth/smaller grows...

http://www.princessauto.com/farm/electrical/yard-lights/0701367-70w-high-pressure-sodium-lights

Im sure it probably would work.. The thing I would worry about is thats not a horticultural grade bulb/light. I'm always kinda weary about buying cheaper things like light because Im pretty sure they'll give you inferior results. Who knows tho, I could be wrong.. All I know is that lights that are sold at like Hydro shops/sites are specifically manufactured to grow plants with, so you can't go wrong buying from them..

But hey, it's worth a shot.. Or you could just put that $70 towards a decent 175W or 250W system. I picked up 2 175W complete MH systems with conversion bulbs for $150 off craigslist..

Yea I guess ur right... thnx

I would check craigslist or a hydro store too. that light you posted's life expectancy is less than half of the average hps grow bulb i've seen. And i dont see if it comes with a ballast.
Earlier you said your temps are around 26-27? This is about 80 degrees fahrenheit. an HPS bulb will throw off more heat, and may make your grow room too hot. If you are willing to take that risk, or improve your venting, then the HPS will reward you in the end with denser, more potent nugs than the CFL.
if you cant find any luck on craigslist or ebay, or if you can spend the $$$ and quality is very important to you, I would highly recommend:

go with the 150w and get the glass add-on for $16

If you are not in the U.S. (which i just thought of since you were using celsius before) then nevermind lol there might be somewhere closer with better shipping rates

Or you can always add more cfls!

Yea thats a real good price ... I Bookmarked it...Thnxx..

Heres some pics as of today still no pistils or sacs tho... Its The 26TH day... How Much Longer????

The Close Up Pics Get blurry my cam is shit...Sorry

Hey this looks very nice i just read your journal from the start. Im impressed by ur craftmanship. When you had the problem where the leaf was turning brown it may have been the ciggarette. I noticed in one of your pics you were adjusting a plant with a cig. Niccotine is considered poison to your plants if u smoke one you should wash ur hands before dealing with ur plants. The sex should show soon so dont fret. Im starting a grow kinda similar to yours (its under my house) ill ne growing Grandaddy Purps and Purple Shaman (formerly Super Purple Skunk) and ill have a journal of my own Subscribed. Keep up the good work.

Um soon should be around a few days a week at the most... Wat nutes are you using?

Sorry bro but im a newb when it comes to nutes Especially when im high. I was wondering if i were to post some pics tommorrow of my area i have for growing could you tell me wat u think ive grown with friends before but this is my first grow just for me. And im a total douche when it comes to ventilation. Idk wat i have to get i know i need one for circulation but then theres inline ones and exhaust ones.....oh ad go with the Gonzo Odor Eliminator cost like ten bucks lasts a lifetime so its worth a try...
