Everything looks great! Great job on those sexy ladies. Thanks for sharing your garden with us!

I love the color of that fly...awesome

Well, while that joint is certainly all you describe, 35 years ago in my neighborhood an Esmeralda meant a big fat doobie, (also like the one you're holding). Nice job.

What is the organic soil comprised of? Is it from a bag you bought at a store, and if so what brand? Is it something you mixed yourself? If so, what's in the mix and at what ratios? Or is it something you dug out of the ground? How much space do you have for your grow? How much floor space...

I wouldn't worry too much about your lamp. Here's a bud that was, if I remember correctly, grown with 1000 watt metal halide. It's the first picture in the thread, Brazilian Haze: Creme De La Creme Cannabis Photos

pH is a measurement of potential hydrogen (whatever that means), it ranges from acidic (0-6), neutral (7) to alkaline (7-14). A range of 6.5-6.8 is often considered optimum for growing Cannabis in soil. The pH sets how well different nutrients and trace elements can be taken up by the roots...

Beautiful plants! Those are some big stems and huge bushes in such relatively small pots...shows your skillz. I can't wait to see them after a few months in 25 gallon containers.

I've seen pictures somewhere on this site of very successful starts that way. I'd recommend seaweed extract in the water to help develop those roots quickly.

Re: Ice-Purple Power-Hash Spice-Mother's Finest-First Closet Grow :) Hey there, I replied in your other thread here: First Closet Grow :)

Wow looks like a great start! Some of the things I think you need to be careful of are pH and heat. Do you have any way to bring fresh air into the grow space and then to exhaust it out? You should probably hang a thermometer down to the height of the tops of the plants to monitor the temps...

LotzOfTrycs, I'm curious what you're calling pistols. Males don't have "pistils", they have stamens. The stamens are in the "balls", which is what that pre-flower looks like...but maybe too early to tell. The pistils are the white hairs on the female flowers. Usually that's the first sign of...

pretty sure you've figured out by now it's ok

At three weeks old they're probably too young to naturally preflower and show any sex. When the new leaf pairs aren't directly across from each other (that is, ,when the nodes start to alternate) then they are mature enough to show sex. When and if they show preflowers depends on the strain...

Very true. Lou's intro and approach reminds me of Jerry Lewis, so I thought I'd throw the tidbit about MD in there.
