Congrats on getting a female. You say you had them on 12/12 for 41 days and they haven't shown signs of sex. They shouldn't take that long. Do you have any light leaks?

I might of had a light leak or two yeah, but ive solved the problem by throwing a blanket over them at lights out, least till i get around to fixing the light leak issue, thing is ive only been tossin the blanket over them for about 4-5 days now

That's why it's taking them so long then. Just make sure you keep tossing that blanket over them at lights out.

AH yeah, it'd be sweet if both we're female haha, the smaller one with the thicker leafs has a very skunky smell too it, but its just bag seed, however the haze doesnt smell hardly at all less i ruffle its feathers so-to-speak hah
but yeah i'll have to keep throwing that blanket over the pc case every day @ 4:00am when its lights out the case is just too old and rickety, id have to sledgehammer it to get rid of all the light leaks, the metal needs re-bending in alot of areas from wear and tear.. prob have to build a new case-- one that doesnt leak as much light out the sides
but thats alright, this was just kind of another experiment to see if its even worth having around, see if i get any kind of nice yield at all, its alot of waiting for not getting much smoke, least the last time during my queen grow it was, these ones are alot bigger though so hopefully i will make out alot better in the yield department

Not sure what you mean by spot? I started off in the pc case, from seeds till now. I havent moved the case at all from its spot either, which is always rather dark.

i got ya, i saw a couple of the pics at 61 days old and I must have thought that you'd moved it to a grow room.
I have another question though, how did you manage to keep them managable in such a small environment.

We'll to keep the plants from growing out of control, i had to control their growth, i did this by light cycle and container size, along with a few other techniques.
The first technique i implored was to only keep the lights on a vegetative cycle for 20 days. This allowed the big plant to get about 6 inches tall, so theoretically it increases its size 3 to 4 times during flower, so 6x3=18 inches, yowza, or even 24 inches is taller for my space, so flowering them early helped keep their height down.
The 2nd technique was to keep their medium containers small, that way the roots don't have extravagant room to grow out which allows the plant to get larger.
3rd technique is the amount of light, i only used 6,800 lumen's of 6500k in a 2.5 foot space (in other words i didn't provide enough light for maximum growth)
and other techniques were things such as tying them down or LST'ing them, and I've done little bits of pruning, but not much as im not a big fan of pruning.
In this type of environment, adjustments are needed usually every 3-4 days, they need to be watered more often and adjusted/tied down even further if they grow too tall
But aside from that it is indeed also a stealth setup, I'm not afraid of friends coming into this room or anything like that, it looks just like an ordinary computer on the outside, i even have a keyboard i leave on top of the case long ways hahaha.
For odor I'll probably use activated carbon or ONA blocker tub

Thanks mental & TBG
Yeah i hope their is enough room, ill be doing some more tieing down here though which should free up allot of vertical space, i haven't done any trimming or pruning much on this one, and it was topped at a young age
