looking great man!

The drooping on plant 2 looks like over-watering but i cant tell for sure. Give her soe space for a while and look for improvement.

Good job, Keep it up!

 

[Il0v3w33d]

well, i haven't watered it since friday and i got back home this morning around 9 or something. and i went and looked and the one on the right just amazed me but the one on the left was drooping and the leaves were starting to turn yellow and the soil was kinda dry, so i went and flushed to see if that would help. but i just switched the timer to 12/12 so im hoping to get some females and in the process if the one on the left is a female im hoping the stretch when you go into flowering will just create healthy new growth.

Looking Great!.....only thing i can think of on droopy plant is plant being so far down in pot it is suffocating it by not having air flow all round and under it...and looks like heat issue as well same thing plant that far in pot seems to be holding heat from light in with plant. other is doing well cause it looks like most of plant is above pot....hope that helps

 

[Il0v3w33d]

alright thanks, hopefully when it starts stretching itll stretch out of the pot, i hope i got females cause i dont know where my seeds are haha

 

[Il0v3w33d]

i cut the top of the bucket and it is seeming to like it alot and is getting stronger!

 

[sportsman9987]

Just a few pointers for next grow, you want to have the dirt all the way to the top so that your plants get good airflow and light can reach the whole plant. Also you might want to put some black plastic around your pots, roots dont like light. Other than that great job man! Looking forward to this grow. Maybe think about getting a thermoeter with a humidity check too. High temps/humidity could possibly part of the issue with plant 2. make sure you have good air circulation if its in a closet, open the doors a few hours a day. plants need to breathe too =)

 

[Il0v3w33d]

alright! thanks for the help guys! ill post some pictures tomorrow. plant 2 seems to be doing better. I did switch the lights to 12/12 but forgot to put in the other bulbs haha, so i did that today and so far everything looks good! checking for signs of sex but no luck yet. I think plant 1 is a female though.

Awesome...thought that might help

 

[Il0v3w33d]

alright guys! some exciting news. Plant 1 is female. There are definatly signs of budding. Will post pictures tomorrow or tonight. Plant 2 is doing fine now! No signs of sex but im leaning more towards the female =] haha. Thanks everyone for your help!!!

 

[dfw-guy]

Cool man, 2 females would be great!

 

[Il0v3w33d]

i also trimmed the plants of some fan leaves blocking some of the new growth

Their both girls I say, congrats. Wait a few days for those sack-like things on plant 1 to develop, they could split open & develop pistils.
