Looks good bro

What was the problem?
How did you solve it?
How long before flower?
Sorry about the males, but now you know how males look.
Any pics of their growth?(not sure how to tell myself)
Do you think you could tell a male before it shows balls? (Now)
Keep up the good work.
And

well the problem was that i was using mg soil and i wasnt checking the ph and i wasnt using and nutes ... so i changed the soil to a soil mix that i got from a local nursery that they had mixed up and i got a ph tester then i changed the lighting to 12/12 into flower and she just blew up and about 3 weeks into flower she started budding.... i really dont think i could tell a male before it show its balls they both looked the same to me thanks for the interest

What you using for a light?
first pic is very spindly lol glad you got it sorted now looks better.

 

[jmark1249]

thanks mi grower i have some really good updated pics showing the buds nicely but i am still trying to find the usb cord for my camera ... I am using cfl stealthy i was keeping the light 2 feet from the top of the plant which i later found out is why they are so stretched.. so i moved it closer and she has responded very well

I was using just cfls too I just added a 70 watt HPS though. I got a journal goin too check it out if you want links below.
I had the 4 cfls 110 watts total within inches of the plants with a fan because they still get hot enough to cause heat stress at that distance. How many CFLs you running? wattage(actual)?
I bet your next plant will be nice and bushy, you came to the right place to learn...
Ive learned so much on this site already. Good luck

looks good jmark1249
she seems to be filling in a bit more

did you top her at one point?

 

[jmark1249]

i am using a 2 4 ft flouresant (or however you spell it) bulbs that are 40 watts each and then about 3 weeks ago i added 4 cfl 32/100 watt bulbs that are hanging on the side of the plant 2 on each side ....thankx man i would agree i went to other sites and just never got the support that i got here and i have learned so much from here i would like to say that this site is the main reason that my baby girl went from little bitty to nice and big and bushy....

 

[jmark1249]
