Thanks so much for tip Syndrix, I will do the finger test and keep a close eye on that. I actually thought I was doing that a few days ago, so I skipped a day of watering.

I would highly recommend investing in a pH pen as well.
When I was in 5 gallon soil bags each bag got 1 gallon of water during waterings, I was in fabric bags. I had plastic trays underneath the bags the trays would catch the extra run off water about 2 cups worth.
I could them take that run off water and use my pH pen and tds pen to know how my soil/plant was doing
@Tylersays is really smart with soil grows as well. How far between your 5 gallon soil bag waterings 3 days this size?
Hope this helps and keep asking whatever questions you have.
Happy growing!

Yeah - daily in soil is too much. The roots need oxygen also. depending on how well the soil drains and temps I’d be watering those plants no more than every 4 days honestly.
You want a wet/dry cycle in soil.
As @Syndrix said you want it dry a good knuckle or two deep before you’re watering. and when you water you want to get at least 10-20% of what you put in to come through and out. It washes built up toxins out of the soil and encourages the roots to fill the available media. More roots = more shoots!
You don’t want them to sit in water by any means. They should be elevated above the saucers on a rack or something so it can drain out and be disposed of on a houseplant or shrubs outside.
They look pretty good but definitely cut back on watering some.
Keep up the good work - don’t drown them ladies!!

Hi all,
I think my plants are looking ALOT better since i stopped over watering them.
I posted a pic of how Im doing it now, but Im going to change it.
A few observations:
I do see roots starting to come out the sides of my fabric pots, I think for next grow Ill go with full solid pots with drainage on the bottom.
I added a CO2 bag…someone told me that helps, I have never tried it before. Can that help in you experience? I read that I may need to add like 3-4 of the mushroom bags I got for it to make a difference…but my grow room is tiny, its a tent. It said you can get +20% yield from CO2. Any truth to that?
And lastly, I must say 9 plants is to many in my tent. They are way big, all on top of each other, so next grow Im going with 6.
Thanks for all the help!
Regards,

Hello everyone,
I moved all of my indoor plants to outdoors because I was having lighting problems. They looked really good for the most part, but now I just found that 2 of them had turned male. I got rid of them, but I was hoping for advice on these others.
Do any of these look male, and do these look ready to harvest yet?
Thanks alot for help:
They look female to me. Those are pistils.
