So...
Went on holiday for 12 days so had my flatmate watering, a boy oh boy have they gotten big.
Before I left i dropped a mason jar on one of plants too which ripped off half her leaves - she's not doing so well and is at approx 40cm as apposed to my biggest which is at 80cm currently.
Still no sign of preflowering. I have changed my light schedule today to 12/12 so hopefully should be able to sex these bad boys soon.
Hello Scott. Cannabis plants usually show sex about 8 to 10 weeks. I see yours is only 7 weeks old. You will need to have a bit more patience. To sex a plant without putting them into flower, take some clippings off the lower branches, long enough to fit in a glass of water. Take the leaves off that would sit in water and you want 3 or 4 leaves above the water. Put the clippings in a 12/12 light environment. The males will show first. Change the water daily with lots of oxygen in the water and just a bit of food (too much food and the salt in the food might burn the clippings) to help the clipping show its flowers. If your plants don't show you what they are after 12 weeks, then try clipping thing. Good Luck. Chuck.
@Scott_Tennerman,
I tend not to remove any at that stage unless they are really in the way of some bud and I can't just bend them out of the way. Those leaves are stored nutrients that the plant can draw on later if needed. Of course I grow autos and you are doing photos and you might have training in mind other than simple LST
Which ever way you decide to go remember to have fun a enjoy the grow🌱

Hey there :)
I'm a total newbie to the topic too, also starting with no fancy setup, even started out around the same time as you 😋
That beeing said I never the less want to give you my ideas about your grow :)
I don't think the drooping of the leaves is an issue of nutrients as they (as far as I know) express most of the time in yellowing/browning and/or necrosis on the leafs.
But if you're feeling like overfeeding them, cut the dose of nutes down. I had no problems with giving as less as 1/8 of recommended dosage every second watering so far.
The droopy leafs are normaly indicating water issues. I think in your case the ladys are overwatered (Pictures are a bit dark. But if they don't feel dry this should be it)
I'm using 11L bag too,, saturated the soil once with water when transplanting, waited for it to dry out, and then fed every 3-4 days ~250-300ml.
I can also recommend LST since I'm having a very good experience doing it 😊
If the stems are already too hard to bend try rolling them around in your fingers with low pressure to soften them before.
But like I said I'm just starting out too, so if I'm wrong don't hesitate to correct me 😅 Keen on learning through exchange with the community.
Also everyone has their own way of doing it, so there is no definite way to go.
Big up and keep em growing 😎
@getsomeUbik, hey man, thanks for the tips, yes I think it was just a case of over-watering. I am using organic compost and finding that I need to water very rarely.
Your LST looks good! I don't know if there is enough room to do the same with my set up now. I wanted to wait to sex the plants before doing LST so I knew how many plants I would have.
Your grow looks like its coming on nicely now!
