Alright so I have 7 plants that I vegged for about 5 weeks. I threw them into 12/12 4 days ago. These plants are from seeds my friend gave me. He said that some were ak47. Can anyone tell if this is true or not? Out of the 7 plants there were a couple that grew real slow but i just let them do their thing to see what happens. As far as the other ones I overwatered a couple of them but they seem to be recovering from what i can tell. I have them under a 150w hps, 2 2ft fluoro tubes and 3 cfl's i think they are 40w. I am using foxfarm grow big nutes for veg and up until i see flowering then I will be giving them foxfarm tiger bloom.
So a couple quickl questions. how do you think they are coming along? How long before they will start showing sex? any suggestions?

they look good however i would suggest that you get some more light to them if possible, they are droping a bit, but not the type of dropping you get from over watering, the kind where they are not getting all the light they would like to strive

Do you think that I should pull the 2 little plants that aren't growing very much? Also does anyone else think that the light is the reason they are drooping like they are?

dude your plants look good, im saying extra lights would help bring vigor to your plants, i see no signs of over watering.

i don't think you should pull anything. they look good. if you can hang a few more cfl's in there it'll help but within another week or so they'll be showing sex and you'll be filtering out males anyway. you have to assume 1/2 are males. thats 3 or 4 in your case which means all the more light for your females. if you can't more light in now don't sweat it.

I was thinking the exact same thing this is why I left them in there and didn't pull them earlier. As far as light I don't really want to spend more on lights so I'm just gonna see how it plays out like this. I think it should be good.

I had another question also, right now I have them in 5L pots, are these ok to use the rest of the way out or should I repot whatever females show up into a bigger pot?

i would leave em be. only because you already started flower and you dont want to risk shocking the plants. you want them concentrating on bud development right now not root development. next time go with slightly larger pots before you start flower.

or you can clone for sex, take a cutting and put it into 12/12, that way you'll be 100% sure without turning your plant into flowering if it male. Cause that is what you don't want to do around females
