Plants are growing great there Kitty... Prolly getting close to being able to figure out which of the plants are girls... the boys won't show generally and MAYBE after the switch to flower.
Theboys are sneaky little critters. They will present as female then all of a sudden he's got balls. Man I hate when that happens. I've been at this for a while and generally grow from REG seeds a lot as well. Last round I transplanted 2 males I thought were female.... I should start a burn pile outside... I told'em if you get balls its into the fire for ya.... they didn't listen.
I grow in a pretty tight space 10 full size ladies in my flower room 5'x10' ... you get a lot of females it's going to get tight and you may have to move plants around later on just to get in there to water and so forth, so plan for that and hope they are all female!! I started out in a 4'x4' tent and my first grow was Sativa and they grew to 8' tall in a 6.5' tall tent! So depending on what type of cannabis they are height will vary as will spread.
I wouldn't worry about watering... just don't over water..... too dry is not good but over watering can kill. The plants will tell you if they get too thirsty.. at this point they are starting to ramp up and will drink a lot.. I water my plants at this stage maybe a cup every other day...then shortly it will be 2 cups/pot every day... then the growth spurts happen!! Fun times ahead.
Cool you went to Drexel.. West Philly... we live in North West Philly - Chestnut hill/Mt Airy ... been here a while, love this part of town. I just have to worry someone in my neighborhood doesn't grow out male cannabis with windows open and pollinate my ladies.... In our neighborhood I counted 5 grow lights like the MarsII you have with the burple color. That's in a 2 block radius. Times are changing!
I stop my lighting in flower before sunset - VEG rooms are stealth. On your tent and letting in pin hole light ... wont be an issue, if it bothers you duct tape to the rescue. In nature its not totally dark at night, the moon is usually out so not as dark as a grow tent zippered up. A few pinholes won't stress the plants and it won't affect the flowering sequence. Other factors are much more important. You may end up with the door wide open later... hahaha you may need to.
Your grow is coming along. The girls will be getting the action started shortly... have fun with it... gardening is rewarding.
