Really Means Alot Thanks Awesome
Looking great so far, keep up the good work! What's your feeding schedule at this point? Subbed, been lurking.

Hey there ak i don't believe that to be completely true because in my tent im using all 5k's and they are coming along great.
this was as of today. they were put into soil on 10/13 from seed.
but also they are looking great.

Looking good racerx.
Although you're running your temperatures a little high.
Your leaves in a few shots are showing signs of heat stress. (leaves curling)
I saw your thermometer reading 93F??
That's too high, maybe see if you can get some better ventilation in there to bring your temps down to betwn 70-80 F.

Yes The Temp is Too High i Did Have it At Around 75 But i Changed my light timer i was doing 18/6 now im doing 20/4. im guessing i have too bring it down or make more and better ventilation like you said. thank you very much.
Have you looked into GLR Gas Lantern Lighting routine??
It's a way to grow in vegatative by only using 12 hours on. then in the middle of the lights off, lights come on for one hour. This is to trick the plants into staying in a vegetative state.
This will also fix your heat issues while saving you some money on your elec bill!!
A lot of people on here have changed to this schedule including me.
And some say that it actually increases growth than using a 18/6 or 24 hour lighting schedule!
here's an article on it from Twelve12:
The Gas Lantern Routine
This information will seem quite revolutionary to growers who have been using the standard cycles to produce cannabis, seemingly with little or no trouble at all. Actually, in a grow that more closely mimics the outdoor growing environment under indoor lighting conditions, the plants may be maintained in vegetative cycle using only a total of 13 hours of light daily, which dramatically reduces the cost of production.
The less is more approach of the Gas Lantern Routine provides the growing plant with adequate darkness to promote health, and by inserting a full hour of light in the center of the dark period, the plants are tricked, and neither flower nor express hermaphrodites. The growing plants get more than the average amount of rest, thus reducing stress, and improving plant yield, overall performance, and medicinal quality.
Seedlings and Cuttings
The Gas Lantern Routine is applicable in seedling phases of plant growth. As stated before, nowhere in nature does the springtime ever provide an 18-hour photosynthesis length; rather, the growing spring light may in fact be 12 hours or less. Lighting for seedlings and cuttings needs to be bright, but compact fluorescent or T5 lighting may be used while in the seedling phase. Rooted mature cuttings can immediately light with HID lighting.
Here's the actual schedule
The Vegetative Schedule
This method is quite simple: 12 hours of light, followed by five and one half hours of darkness, a single hour of light exactly, and then a second period of five and one half hours of darkness. Placing a full hour of light in the very center of a 12-hour dark period tricks the plant and interrupts the buildup up of sensitive floral hormones, which would normally trigger flowering by destroying them. The grower simply raises the plants to the desired size before switching to the fall schedule to bloom.
Here are the numbers:
12 on
5.5 off
1 on
5.5 off
repeat.
So say your lights come on a 7am... They'd go off at 7PM, then at 12:30 that night they'd come on until 1:30AM and go off. Then they'd come back on a 7am again.
To flower I simply move them into the flower box, give them GLR under the HPS for another 2 weeks to harden them to the light a bit, and then simply remove the 1 hour at 12:30 to start flowering.
The TRANSITION is shortened CONSIDERABLY, lessening stretch by almost 90% because they are already at the brink of flowering from GLR, they just need the hour at night to be removed to give them that extra push... It takes plants DAYS, not WEEKS to transition to flower from there.
Using this method, vegetative duration may be also reduced, and with a shorter growth cycle comes more frequent and better production. Vegetative cycles can be shortened by one to two weeks, and flowering may also be shortened a week or more using this method in con- junction with a diminishing light schedule.
For patients growing their own medicine or for compassionate cannabis providers, production turnover may be increased from four to five crops per year or more using rotation, and power consumption can be reduced even further by the use of high-intensity fluorescent lighting during vegetation, and overall, power consumption savings can be 50 percent or more.
The Flowering Schedule
Plants that have been grown up using the Gas Lantern Routine are now supercharged with floral hormones, and ready to go into flower with the slightest provocation. The interruption of the dark period has been destroying enough of the naturally building hormones to keep the plant from expressing sex, and the well-rested plant now has plenty of stored nutrients and energy to finish its life cycle and flower. Triggering the plants is essentially just a matter of removing the interrupting light period, so the plants may now experience the full buildup of hormones that will trigger blooming.
In keeping with providing all the correct organic biological and environmental needs of the plant, the diminishing fall schedule should be employed to take full advantage of the hormonal preparation created by using the Gas Lantern Routine. The diminishing hours of light in nature trigger acceleration in the production of hormones in the plant, making it flower with increasing speed and power.
The Diminishing Lighting Schedule
The diminishing fall schedule begins with an evenly halved light schedule, using 12 hours for the first two weeks to trigger the plant into bloom, and then further reducing the lighting for increasing darkness time by one half hour every week.
The final week of flowering will provide the plants with a mere nine hours of light, with 15 hours of darkness, forcing a resulting final explosive hormonal buildup. This sends the plant into blooming overdrive and produces resin far beyond the normal plant’s limits.
When the Gas Lantern Routine and Diminishing Light Schedule are used together, they create healthier, more naturally robust plants. These important and historical botanical techniques are soon going to become very important techniques in the coming years as medicinal cannabis research continues to advance. When viewed from cost of production, organics, and medicinal needs, the methods currently being promoted can be seen counter to the interests of growing healthy plants. Understanding your plants is the best way to grow the best medicine, and looking for solutions to growing problems by observing nature always provides the right answers. And the link to the test, and results.

Update:
So i Added More Air Movement in the cabinet. The Past Three Days Ive Been Feeding The Plants Just Water. I Think i was Over doing the nutes.
Tell Me What You Guys Think. Please
And Also The Last Two Photos i cut the top of my plant about two days ago. i guess topping it you would call it. its going good.

Hey racer, in the 9th and 10th pics the leaves seem to have white speckles on them. It could be just the way the light is hitting the leaf in the photo or does it really look like that?
I just read back that you are still on a veg light schedule, if thats true then I dont think they will show sex till put in flower.

AH ok thanks NEParmer. How long does it take for it to become sexually mature? I guess I still have more to learn.
