haha yeah anticipation's a bitch. but thats lookin good.. should be good for lights for now. that'll definitely help a lot more than what you had before.
alos, for the sex thing. i think there is a way to tell the sex before flower. idk if this happens on every plant or just females, as ive only seen it twice and they've both been female. there are preflower pistil's that grow around the nodes. only about 2 of them per node, or on a few nodes. But Ive noticed these in veg and they've been female everytime. something to look into at least
