First little grow

Well, the girls are still stretching out a little. The flowers are starting to fill out and thicken up more, which is great. July 17 I will be away for a week, and the plants are starting to need more water/food. I have increased the daily quota to 1.5 litres per plant per day. I don't think that they would survive for a week without and water. So I have decided to saturate the soil with as much moisture as it will hold, get back midweek to fill them up again. I will know midweek if it works or not. I would hate to kill them of dehydration at this stage. Also leaving a few bottles of water with wicks made from strips of denim to try to keep moisture seeping into the soil. Well worries over. I'm back and the girls have been getting along fine without me. It's meant to be another 2 to 4 weeks of flowering left. I can't wait to see what the finished plants are like. Need to think about when to stop feeding also. Bugger !!! I just spotted two small shoots well under the canopy. They seem to have male flower balls. Crap. Only one of the plants though. It must have been the stress of getting a lot of water at once, then going without for a few days. Though neither wilted from thirst so I am a bit suprised/pissed off. I hope this won't ruin the grow.
