so these are my 2 babys they have not had the best life so far but i think they are going to make a come back.I have some pics here and if anyone has any suggestions please speak up!

Right now I have had them in flower for 1 week.The bigger one is showing female while the smaller is showing nothing.I have the temps down between 65-90 and i have started putting the lights on during the night. The picutre shes not looking too good but today she seemed much better.I think there was also a water issue which im trying to work out.

Do you let the water dry out? Overwatering used to be an issue for me but then I mixed in perlite damn near saved my life xD For young seedlings I use Liquinox Vitamin B-1 helps the roots tremendously others may disagree but it works for me! Also good for your transition to flowering stage! Happy Growing !!

When they come in I'm wondering should I add one to the bottom and one to the side or both into the side all of the box.The bottom of the box is elevated about 3-4 inches over the ground.

Just have a hole in the bottom so I thought I would screw the fan in iver that and make it as wide as the fan to push air in then add the one one the side to push air in and then my larger fan at one end just pushing air around inside.

I'm pretty new to this, but here is what I will say; turn the lights off, pick up a book and read it. Maybe twice or three times. Then pick up some supplies and give it a try. My reasoning you might ask, look at your thermometer 106 holly hell, that could pose a threat. As for a flowering plant, I don't see anything resembling flowering, just very hot,transpiring plant(s).

The plant seems like its been through a bit. You know its female, maybe transplant it into another pot, bury the stem far up, far enough to cover where the dead leaves are, and maybe revert it back to veg for a bit? Flowering is more light intense, you could have a few CFL on it and veg it slowly for a bit while you upgrade your setup?

Just a thought
