welcome sam.your plants looks great you no need to worry about sunlight they just grow little slower and stretching bit.its too early to say is this a male or fem.i'm not a smarter guy there but i think soaking the soil is the way to go.and you try get some ph tester for water,keep water 6-6,5ph.good luck and happy growing.are you think grow them outdoor?peace:peace: :joint: its too early tell what kinda strain is your plant.

Your plants will not indicate sex until their light schedule is reduced to 12 hours on/12 hours off. Some plants will indicate with pre-flowers, while in their vegetative state, but from the looks of your pictures your plants are not quite there yet. Actually, your growth is quite slow for a few weeks worth, IMO. Which I would attribute to your light situation.

When you water, you want to soak your medium and just be careful not to over water (meaning don't water too often, wait for you medium to dry out). The smaller your plants are, the less root system you have to absorb water, so be mindful not to over water. As your plants grow, and their root system develops, you will find you will need to water more frequently. The simplest way to tell, IMO, is to use the "lift test."

After you water, lift your pots. You should pay attention to how heavy they feel. As time passes continue to lift them periodically. When the medium is close to being dry, you will notice how much lighter your pots feel. It is then safe to water again. It will take some time to get used to the feel of it.

Light is crucial for your plants to grow healthy. That being said, if your light source stops I would say it's safe to assume that all growth will as well.

Good Luck.
