Nice healthy plants.
One thing I notice about the your set up. It’s really easy for me to overwater in plastic pots. I dont know why, but keeping the roots dry enough is easier for me with a cloth grow bag. I’ve grown in both. It’s probably just my own personal hang up, so uh, nevermind.
They look great. Nice start.

@QueenCityB I was overwatering at first but I think with me it was just because they werent drinking very much but they are definitely drinking every other day now…im going to be giving them some grow big mixed with rainwater I’ve collected over the past few days but gonna check my levels before I do but I will post an update when I get the numbers this am

Plastic pots don’t breathe as well as fabric pots so they will retain water longer where fabric pots are breathable and will dry quicker

@Skydiver I made sure to drill plenty of holes to help with oxygenation of the roots…

@dbrn32 @QueenCityB @AAA @Skydiver Can you all take a look and see what you think I believe I have a male preflower I just hope not all 3…but even if they are all 3 are male I would rather just know and be rid of them because I do have a femenized GC already working on her 2nd set of leaves and with my new 600w lights coming ill pop the 3 fems I have with her in the tent and get back at it…thanks in advance for any and all input!

I thinks it still a little early to determine that.

@Hellraiser Thats the one I thought I saw the tiny male preflower on the first two pictures are of the same plant in the brown pot…I had a feeling since it was taller but any input on the last two pics?
Not positive on the last 2, I think I see a female preflower in pic 3 (a cone type shape but no white hairs coming out if yet) and pic 4 is too fuzzy to make out much detail when I zoom in.

@Hellraiser I see some sort of preflower just not definitive but I am hoping its a her another day or so I should be able to tell it’s just so hard to distinguish sometimes but I am hoping my last one is female …worst case cenario I have to pull it but I have got my other 4 femenized Green Cracks germinating now as of this am just in case I dont want to lose anymore time and since Pulling the two males so far I have alot of room in my tent… thanks for taking the time to help out
My best way for determining that when to replace bulbs to save money overall is to buy a lux meter. Found out I can get up to a couple more cycles out of the bulbs with a higher quality ones like Hortilux. They recommended replacement on these bulbs are overstated the tests are based off of running these bulbs 24 hours a day, I don’t know about you guys but I definitely don’t run my bulbs 24 hours a day when I’m flowering, just saying.

I do agree that with you, @BRFarming420. If you add the cost of lux meter, cost of ownership goes up more, but it would save @GreenFlex money on bulbs. When I grew with those it was before I had a family and I just sold a bag every two cycles and picked up a light with the money. That’s how i dealt with the cost, and I had so much herb, anyway, it didnt matter. The meter would have told me it was dimmer than when new. The new bulb always told me so just by being brighter. I was just thinking about rolling with an HID on a budget. They produce wonderful light. If that’s all I still had, I’d be growing some killer nugs with it, just like @GreenFlex is getting ready to do. My guitar amp still sounds pretty when the tubes are old, but when they are freshly broken in holy cow, the sound is gorgeous! That’s all.
