Soil wasn't dry, but i watered with some water ph'ed to 6.8 because I'll be gone for few days. And first time fed the babys, micro fed if You can say so... Added less than tbs of molasses and liquid biohumus (worm castings) to 1.5 liter of water (about 1/2 gallon) to speed up the process. Hope this will fasten the things up.
Have a good day!

Perfect little plants. The first couple of weeks sucks when it comes to growth, but you'll start seeing them pack on some size now. Good job bro

Thanks @HazednConfused !
So it's Veg day 17 and here's the little perky plants just watered with plain tap water ph'ed to 6.7:

So it's Veg day 20 my plants were thirsty, I watered them with water ph'ed to 6.7, added 5 tbs of liquid biohumus and 3 tbs of molasses to 5 Liters of water.

So far so good, I think. How about You guys?

That sounds like a lot of additives for 5L to me, but I've never used those additives.
Tell us if you see any problems

It was fine, but I was going to leave for quite a few days, so I watered a lot and the girls didn't like it so much, leaves droopy, stems got purple, not much grow at all.. So Veg day 27 looks like this:

And today I re-potted them to 12l buckets, watered with water ph'ed to 6,8. Runoff was 7,2 ph so next time I'll try to use some water ph'ed to 6,3.
Here's the rootball:
And the whole cab:

Looking good so far!
Plants always seem to suddenly look tiny to me when I pot them up, but they will soon spread out to fill the space. Bear in mind if you see no visible growth in the early stages then the roots are probably growing like crazy instead.
I am also a builders bucket fan, they are the biggest pot I can get into my cabinet as it is only 15" deep. As long as you drill drain holes in the bottom there is no difference to a plastic pot costing 3 or 4 times as much, and you also get a nice lip to use if you LST.

Veg day 30:

Plants looking a lot better so today i topped them both. Here's some pics:

Ohh. And they started to smell!

Looking nice and healthy

pretty small for 30 days in veg, add more light

Veg day 34:
So today I'll flip lights to 12/12 light cycle. Added some lights. Now there is 6 x 25w 2700k cfl and 4 x 23w 6400 cfl. Hoping to fill the net.

You wont fill the net i dont think.

Normally you would fill the net or close to it and then switch.

But feel welcome to prove me wrong!

Ohh. Okay.. You live and you learn. Anyway I would be happy with 30 grams of good quality bud.

So 6 days after flip to 12/12 or Veg day 40:
No pistils have shown yet. Plants were thirsty, so I watered the with water ph'ed to 6.4;
Here's some photos:

Pretty hot in there! And thats with the door open, I bet its over 35 with it closed?

Best of luck hope she produces for ya

They look really healthy. You should see a bit of stretch in the next few days for a few weeks or so.

Hope the rest of grow goes as smoothly as the veg.

Hey, @Morriston55 it's hot in there I know, but girls seem to love it the way it is! It's sativa dom. And thanks @Lucky Luke for the wishes, but I hope rest of the grow will go even smoother, in veg I overwatered them once, when I've gone to honeymoon. )
Edit: ohh and te strech.. It started already! In last six days it stretched for 2-3 inches, but I'm using scrog to mainline them.

Plants look nice man, hopefully those pistils show soon! They probably love the heat because they're sativa? They look good though man! Can't wait to see them flowering in that net.

12 days after flip or Veg day 46:
Plants were thirsty, watered with plain water ph'ed to 6.7. Next time I'll try to brew some AACT with molasses, biohumus, bone meal, fish meal, manure, fulvic & humic acids. Can't wait to see how it goes.
So here's the girl #1, no signs of sex yet, at first she was a stronger, healthier and rapidly growing plant, but things have changed last week, don't have a clue why. So here she is:

And the strange girl #2:

Why strange? Because she not truly show her sex yet (with my noobie eyes it looks like she started growing balls and yet at the same time started to develop some female looking flowers, white hairs on top of budsites & shit.) So I need Your guidance guys.. Here's some pics:
Some ball like looking thingys:

Couldn't get closer shot with my old phone camera. It just refuse to focus... But if You view full image size, then You should see them clearly.
And the female looking budsite:


Have a nice day!
