looking good.

alternating internodes means the plant is sexually maturing. did you sex them yet?

looking a bit droopy. some strains just grow this way, and some are becuase of other factors. try and ease up on the water. use less each time you water.

you should ask the mods to move this to the newbie section, or the indoor grow journal section.

the plants have some indica in them for sure. the above head pictures show fat leaves.

No I plan on flowering in a couple weeks im hoping they are both girls,,, I think I see pree flowers, but I think my minds playing tricks on me,,, my friend growing them same seed outdoors, has buds already, so im hoping mine too,,,,,, as for watering, this mg organic is shit for drainage with no perlite,, so I only water when pots feel extremely light so them droopy leavs may be from underwater but they perk up when I set em outside,,

Did you addd anything fo drainage Organic MG is horrible at taking water you need an ass load of perlite also if you manage to saturate the soil with nothing added it might stay too soggy and make your plants droopy due to suffocation of the roots but it will dry out and they should be fine

Jpegg you just answered my fooking question thanks I knew thats why my plants droop so bad,,,, and I knew it wasnt over water because I never watered until the pots felt like feathers,, then I, and they would look fine but the second I water them they droop for a day or so or until they get some good sunrays if its nice enough to put em out,,,,,,,,,

So its because I didnt add anything for drainage,,,,,, I knew I needed something but never figured that would meke them droop,,,, thanks alot jpegg,,, and you say this should be ok right,, as long as it dobt turnd to root rott
