Here are new pics, just started them on Fox Farm Grow Big 1/2 dose. There 5 days into 12/12, Still not showing sex. I also purchased some unsulphered molasses, How much per gallon do you use?

This is day 20 since they popped from the dirt. Leaves are a little curled/bent looking, That happened naturally, My first assumption is the CFL's are putting off too much heat. Any thoughts?

Someone told me that I should cut the fan leaves off this plant. Anyone else advise this? Im leaning more towards keeping them since there no bud sites yet.

You will be golden now if you changed the lights to 6500k mine are one day younger than yours and are just a little bushier....probably because i had the right light on them.........I use FFOF and would wait another week before I give nutes and then just every other feeding....I have a journal if you wanna check it out too.....ohhh the leaf thing should be fine

scratch what I said wrong thread......but they look like they might need a little nutes.......
Gave them half strength Grow Big, I only water about twice a week, so the next nutes they would get will be in 7 days.

You start adding tiger bloom and big bloom 14 days into 12/12 correct?

anyone?

Bump, ^ still curious because...


Update on these, one turned out to be a male, the other female. Ive isolated the male plant and removed all the fan leaves, topped it, just trying different stuff really. Ive heard that males generally grow faster than females.. and that removing the fan leaves will stunt growth. However, the male seems to not have been stunted as it has a good 2" on the female. Anyone care to give your opinion (from experience) on this issue?

PS to RIU: I didnt like the 4/20 update... and the old features that youve added back to the site are still a little buggy.. but thanks for adding them back! I really missed my last 5 threads, and my last 5 post.;-)

sometimes you can strategically bend or remove a few fan leaves but I have read that it is not best. You can get similar results with LST.
