i am having trouble figuring out what i have , as of right now i have four plants. They are about a month n half old ....they are in three gallon pots, under 310.5 actual watts cfl equivalent to 1350 watts. I have 7,762.5 lumens per square foot.....total lumen 31,050....i am new to this and dont know what im doing, that said i have extensively researched the subjuect. I have to much time on my hands and spend a lot of my time reading. i think i know the answer to my own question....but i want some unbiased opinion.....thanks in advance...any tips, advise, suggestions or any of the like are greatly appreciated.
i think this one is a male.....what do yall think?

Just to clerify the second set of photos is from a different plant.
 
Re: I am having trouble detearmening the sex of my plants, 2 weeks into flower.thank

i just would hate to be wrong. i agree with you that i think it is a male....but i hate the idea of tossing it, if there is even a 1% chance im wrong , it would be worth waiting till its 100%...unless yall are 100% about the first set of pics
 
Re: I am having trouble detearmening the sex of my plants, 2 weeks into flower.thank

i didnnt mean any disrespect, i was just wanting to know just how sure u were. that was all, these four are all i have to work with for the for seeable future , so of coarse im hesitant at the idea of killin one , but if you are 100% i am fixng to do it.....thanks for the input, and again i ment no disrespect, attribute my comment to my own fears, and just me personally dreading the thought of tossing something i worked so hard to maintain....but i dont want seeds so i got to do it.....is there any use for a male other than for breading
 
Re: I am having trouble detearmening the sex of my plants, 2 weeks into flower.thank

I was just examining the three remaining and i n noticed that on two of them the roots are comin out the drainiage holes, i just put them in these 3 gallon pots not more than 2 weeks ago, they just seemed to get past the nitrogen toxisity they had when i transplanted them, i dont wanna do that again to em. what size should they be in for finishing flowering...are 3 gallon pots addiquite....

I would look more at what's causing it. Your light is more than likely too far away/not enough wattage, which is causing them to stretch and become top heavy.
They shouldn't be top heavy and falling over this young.
 
Re: I am having trouble detearmening the sex of my plants, 2 weeks into flower.thank

i appreciate your advise. I aleady have been paying extremly close attentinon to how many lights , watts/lumens i have per plant/per sqaure foot.....i am a brand new grower. I have removed two of my original four plants bc the were males, i have positively identified the other two as FEMALE!Probably doesnt seem like all that big a deal, but i have spent a lot of money(on a lot of shit i could have done with out, if i had it to redo, i just fork out the money for an hps and have one on its way from a friend that used his for the same reason back when he was single but now he has a super hot wife who is super cool except she is very close minded about pot. It benifits me but i hate seeing someone have to hide in the dark, its the more than likely the most usfell/verstile plant on earth. Anywhere you find remains of our ancestors you will generally fine evidence of the use of hemp....I am Ranting I apoligize...

As far as my top heave lady,it honestly didnt have neer the root system that the others had when i put them in there three gallon pots (came from solo cup, to 1 gallon to three), it must have gotten better bc at times ill see a little root beinging to poke out the larger drainging holes..these pots o have have very large square cut outs for drainaige as well as about 12 holes on each that i added.. i had used seeing a root poke out, as an indicator as to it being time to move to something bigger, but it was only one little root, and my buddy who has tons of completed journals on here and is very knowledgable about this, and he said if they were his that he wouldnt move them unless they really started coming out those holes, he said it wasnt ideal to be moving to bigger pots when in flower, mine are 3 weeks in to 12/12.... I didnt have nutes when i began this, i now have fox farms Grow Big and Tiger Bloom, superfthive,and technaflora rootech cloning gel, and i test and correct the ph of there water now, which is something i absolutely didnt do before, on average my tap water is around 8.ph. so i gave them shitty water all but the last three weeks they have been alive.Its a wonder they have done as well as they have.
I have 12, 23 watt/100 equiv. 1600 lumen cfl bulbls. 1/4 of them 2000 k the other 3/4 6500k to mix it up...they are suspended above the plants only an inch or so away, i have to adjust daily, i check several times a day , i put my hand atop the plant touching the part closest to the light, so long as after 10 secs my hand isnt uncomforatable , i figure they should be good.... What can i do to increase the root health of the top heave one? DO you think i have enough light, Like i said i have a 400w MH coming with ballast and bulb for free(how lucky am i right)But i am likely not gonna have it until the two i have in flower will be closed to finish.....so the 12 cfls.....2 palnts, 4 sq ft. i had this same lights 4 days ago when i removed the first male and then yest when i took the second one ....leaving me two, under the same lights i had four four and they seemed to do well under that amount, logic and common since tells me that reducing the amount of plants in my flower room by half should increase the available light for the ladies.... Is that correct, or me being misinformed as to how all that works?
 
Re: I am having trouble detearmening the sex of my plants, 2 weeks into flower.thank

Antics, i have looked at my lighting situation, first off im runing 12 23w/100equix(i know that dont mean much) 1/4 are 6500k the toher 3/4 of my clfs are 2700k, and they give off 1600 lumen each but i pretty sure than dont mean shit eather, i have a power strip in the middle suspeded by a piece of rope attatched to two of the screw in type hooks and a litttle liquid nails to really make sure they were not coming undo without soome trying extremely hard, so i have the power strip which has six bulb on it and hangs in between the two i have left, then my tall one has a lamp i rewired and hung upside down it takes three of the bulbs and then i have a can that i bought from a hardware store. i have thee lights coming out of this as well, I have two FEMALES !!!!that was whats was left out of the for, and truthfully in my opinion prior to knowing the sex of the four i had, i kept my two females in the damn back of the area i use, i thought the two in fornt where a little stonger and i guess it was just wishfull thinking, but what about that irony. any how so i have a taller ladie and shorter bushy lady, who is pretty evenly prepotioned.....and so is the tall one bc of when i fimed em, i have a lot of equally tall shoots on both with the exceptioin of each of there main four shoots that ought to produce the best buds on the plant, i took clones of of them a week ago, only i after i had no doubt about them being female and also bc im n week 3 of 12/12 and ive read thats a good time to take clones if u plan on taking them from a flowering mother..., i know they say the sucess rate is lower, thats why i took 6, 5 of them being rather weeker shoots, they r as likely as any to root, but the 6th one i took from what was in my opinion the better of the two just bc of vigour ( when i transplanted the short bushy one from seedingling cup to one gallon i ripped all but the one main roots attached to the stem, it took weeks for it to catch back up, but it did, and know its is a little shorter n bushier than the others, but it has a lot of budisites and the nodes arnt spaced to far apart ether... , i think its gone be my bades pending nothing happens..... would adding lights eather somehow to the sides of the closet or on the ground, i did this for a while an noticed little to no effect, but they were in veg then, when i put em on 12/12 its like they doubled in sixe within 1 week, and my tall one got so tall so so quick it blew my mind, when i put it in its 3 gallon container its in now, i could tell the taller one didnt have as good a root system as the pthers , my buddy had cut the soikd bag in half and but it in there, thinking it would be bettter thn couong it up bc it needed to be moved out the cup and at the time i had aony enough dirt for one and we did, and ever since then this ladie as been sorta finacy....i think end results probably gone be decent i hope, i am more interested in quality than quanity, since this is just for me..... as soon as i have the 300, $ which should be with the month my local hydro store is running a special 400w, hid, interchangeable , ballast and hood that is cooled somehow....anyways, that is first then i am getiting a ten, so i can set up to propper areas, i have my flower areas fairly ok, i need suggestions until i can get an hid light that it needs and for how to do what my end game will require...that and some goog genetics,. I maybe have a hid ballas hood everything but the bulb coming but it could be months and i would really like it now....i think it would reallty give me quality i am looking for.....would a 400 watt hid make a large deff on my power bill...which is low already bc i live alone,less than a100$/month.....that and what brand of tent would u recommend and also any adivise regaurding my clones would help.....i am really new...i need all the help i can get...thanks n a
