^^ I agree, you need to just get rid of the smaller fiber pots and just into the 3 gals. And yeah are you feeding these ladies and if so what?? They have grown very well thus far, you should be proud of your hard work.
My first grow...

I haven't fed, I'm waiting for the soil to dry out, then I'll probably just water with plain water. I'm going to lower the ph of the water cuz the soil seems to be too high, which probably eiither caused or excerbated the problem. I cut the bottoms of the fiber pots off before I planted them in the bigger pots, but I've used them as tiedown points fo the LST. I'm only going to water outside of the pots so the roots seek out the water and spread through the new soil. I also don't want to disturb the roots if they've already started growing into the new soil. What harm do the fiber pots cause by being in there?

I believe the concern with the fiber pots are that the plants will soon outgrow them making them root bound and restricting growth. You don't want that. I would also suggest watering them like normal and not outside the pots. The roots will naturally seek out water and spread regardless but they still need the water. Just my two cents so someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Looking good though.

well i took one out but there were a lot of roots sticking out. the fiber pots are made to be planted like that, and the roots grow through it easily. hopefully that one i took out and transplanted wont get too stressed now...

I've had to tie down the side branches on a couple of them the lowest branches are the longest, I'm gonna try to make it so they fill the middle and goin the opposite direction of the main stem so I can make it all filled up with colas all over the place

Great strategy bud. I did pretty much the same thing with one of my plants and got a bunch of nice colas all over. For my other I laid all the nice colas horizontal so the buds would grow perpendicular to the stem. Both methods are giving me nice results.

Uhm...what the shit is this?
Only been growing for a little over a month, with 24hr MH and daylight CFLs! WTF?? They don't look like stipules, they look like pistils to me....on two different plants. Normally I'd be overjoyed that I have females, but I'm still a ways from flowering

Preflowers. Sometimes they show early .. hence the name lol.
Nice! ;-)

#1 - Oldest, showing the most conspicuously
#2 - Same age, just as obvious
#3 - Younger by a few days, and I believe this is the bagseed. Do you guys think this looks like a preflower? (centered, to the right of the stipules)
#4 - Also younger by a bit, not showing anything I can see (unless those little bud lookin things are where they come from)
#5 is the youngest and only has 3-4 leaf sets @ this time

Got a third plant showing preflowers
I'm pretty sure one of the other 2 is male because it's growin so much faster than the others and it hasn't showed any hairs at all. I wish it were female, that one is gettin huge and has a bunch of branches growing up. The 5th one also isn't showing any preflowers

Seems my bagseed is also female
So that's 3 Blue Rhino females and one unknown bagseed female. The bagseed came outta some dirt weed, I planted it to see if it was the genetics of the plant being shitty or just the grower. With how many seeds were in there, I'm guessing the grower sucked. I'm currently attempting to clone three cuttings, one from the bagseed and the other two from the BR females. Hopefully they take root and I can have at least one as a mother. I'm almost positive the 5th plant is male, because it's growing super fast and lanky, and all I can see as far as preflowers go are some small bud looking growths, no hairs or other definitive signs.

Think I can use the camera to check the trichomes when I get there?
