yeah, squid, im past worrying about it. i bought the stuff when i had the money, so it really wasnt a huge deal. plus, this is a hobby im gonna have for the long haul, so its well worth it to me. I even had to buy my oscillating fans for petes sake, and chain...etc, you get the point, there's just so many little things like duct tape that just add up. Anyhow as usual, thanks, and growdawg, thanks for the link, ill def be subb'd up to your grow now! peace and chicken grease! ill update either later tonight or tomorrow with a temp update, although i can already see that my hps and a/c are battleing it out pretty good right now..lata!
 
ok, just a quick update, I just checked the ph of my soil in my test pot again, only this time i lowered the ph in the water before using it. before i was using water straight out of the tap which comes out at 8.3. I FINALLY got it down to 6.4 after a few days. Well i ph'd the water to 6.8, and it came out at 6.4. Success! I just lime'd my final 3 plants today, becuz they needed a little watering, so in a few days, I should be straight. (fingers crossed). Also, 1000 watter seems to be doing ok, the temps are running at 79 right now, but my room temp seems to keep rising, i dont know how much longer thats gonna be able to offset the hps heat. I was hoping for the summer, but it is known to get up at and over 100 around here in july/august, so i doubt it. worst case, i may have to close shop after this harvest. I just hope i make it that far, i have to.
 
ok, just an fyi, i changed my avatar for the last time, at least until i earn a bigger avatar. in the meanwhile, ill just go with the generic leaf. Ill have my big avatar yet, mark my words!! lol
 
ok, i got a question. Ive got a photo plant (dinafem white widow) that is the same age as my 3 akr's. (day 27, i counted a few min ago..lol) anyhow, it hasnt sexed yet, at least i dont think so. im a little worried, cuz inbetween a bunch of the nodes, it looks like a single tiny leaf, almost like a pistil but green. None look like a "ball" but im afraid, maybe they were balls at one point or something. i dont know..haha. anyhow does anyone know how long before photo plants start sexing? all three of my auto's showed pistils almost a week ago already, but they are known to bloom quicker. I should also add that the plant in question is feminized. So maybe im just worrying, but i dont want all my akrs to be popping seeds everywhere. I tried to take pics, but my cam sucks for real close up shots, ill try to upload the pics i did take in a minute..any help would greatly be appreciated. thanks.
 
P4110068.jpgP4110065.jpgP4110064.jpgthese pics arent the best, but theyll have to do i guess. im sure the plants ok, just wanna confirm that its normal to take this long for a photo plant.
 
id say the photo's will take longer to sex the exact time i do not know but im sure someone on here does know. I have 2 photo's going as well and i do know for fact that photo's take more time then autos could be weeks longer....just my :2cents: again.lol and as far as your worry's about nuts on your plant its possible for any plant to go male or hermi,but as long as you dont stress the plant to much with weird light cycles and stuff you should be just fine,and we ALLl worry brother nobody wants a male unless for specific purpose..

HORRIBLE PIC'S!!!!!.......lol
cant tell yet still not ready to show i guess what you are looking at could indicate female but its likely that that is just a leaf sorry its prob not what you wanted to hear but when us newbies rush to conclusions we usually fuck up:crying:trust me i have fucked up once or twice by rushing,IM SUBBED THO BRO FOR YOUR GROW
 
I can't see anything useful in those pics. Sounds like you may be seeing the stipules which are present on both males and females:

When did you switch your light cycle to start flowering with your photo plant? They can show sex within a day, or take a week or two.
