So GREAT NEWS! It appears the two remaining plants are FEMALES! unreal luck if you ask me!!
The small one that has been lacking for the past month decided to show sex first!! the bigger and healthier one has lil white hairs FINALLY coming thru i think and is bushy as all hell! had to trim fan leaves so the light can reach all budding sites! Added about 8 more CFLS i took out a 80watt MONSTER 6500k that was hanging and replaced that with 4 16 watt 2700k's and then i added just (2) 3500k 26 watt to mix up the light.. The LED board is still going strong, i wonder if because the bushy one was RIGHT NEXT to the Led board it ook longer to show sex and vegged and grew more! so i switched the pots and lets see what happens. My own conclusions will be drawn up. Only using diluted piss! :) and once a week nitro 5-0-0 NOTHING ELSE! im shocked i havent seen any negative affects... I prob could use a bloom nute? Pics coming tonight ! I decided to kill 2 seedlings i had that popped because id rather focus on these two due to space and i know they are females!! This is soo cool!!!
Great to hear the news man! Since you induced flowering I'd lay off the piss and only use the 5-0-0 in small amounts for the first stage of flowering. Bloom nutes are a great idea but start off delicately.

And about the LED board, yes, those can make it take longer to flower.

On another note, I think I might make my own 5w LED Deep Red (660 nm wavelength) diodes lamp out of these: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/LedEngin/LZ1-00R205/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvNM/d3q5fCV/hCQDQN/5VJ

They are setting records for the wattage of deep red LEDs (what most LED panels lack). I think I might do it this summer. 3-6 of these up by my HPS and I should be golden!
 
pics!!

the skinny one if you look back in the pcs in the shithead who never grew during veg because there was no light and soon as i removed the male and put her under some good light then she went bonkers! and turned out to be female! Luckyyyy as F i say! :fire:
