I really have no idea, based on experience, whether the red spectrum cfl's would induce sexing. I was really asking more out of curiosity. On the fourth pic down, it kinda looks like you've got a couple pre-sex thinggies there. Heck! You will have this sorted out in no time. :o

My babies are good.They're so small, but, the buds are rock-hard. I'll be posting pics tomorrow or Monday. I finally saw a couple gnats today so I DE'd them before things get going with those little pests.

Thanks for asking, man. As usual, it looks like your plants have been goin' to the gym. :thumbs:
 
thanks joe,
seem like im going to have to work this one out,iv put a 85watts cfl 2700k warm red in with my 105watt blue,let see if it changers them,your plants well get better as you had trouble to start them of, so it slow them down,but im sure on you next grow it be much better for u. it all about leaning,well like iv told you me plants are coming up to just over 3 weeks now and just giving them water,with the right ph and somthink in the water to kick them roots off,soon i see me plants flowering, i well slowy start to add me bloom nutes,
i let you no how the lighting work now,i would put them under my 400watts HPS light but it full of white widow in full bloom now,so this is all new to me with cfl lighting,but im sure i get there.
i thought i mit got some more info on how others do it,
