awww man feeling the love here thanks guys , boo the haters :P

Ive got lots of tube clips so i could use those to run vert ? or do i need space around the light itself ?

I hear bad about miracle grow in lots of ways so have stayed clear of it.

Im going to just go for a mild veg nute as im still learning.

defo time to invest in a ph meter , i want to top so badly.

How do my plants seem to everyone considering the ghettoness to this grow ?

***Using proxy from work so i cant seperate my paragraphs sorry RIU***your plants started at the same time as mine... mine are a lil more compact than yours but yours are starting to get their now. difference is I had less light but i had it closer, two plants so one was growing horizontally lmfaoanyway i switched over to the hps and they have been growin good the horizontal plant has grown up but at first I assisted it with support from the soil now its good on its own.so definatly hps is good. how many watts are you going to get?

I believe its 2 x 400w hps ? a guy thats been helping me out here (sae) is hooking me up with it.

Atm im using a light out of one of my reptile tanks :) the long ass tube and i also have a 20w cfl in the lamp.

yeah i made the noob mistake and streched like a bitch lol got a new seedling in there tho doing much better.

Ive used unsexed seeds so im dieing to get to the point so i can get rid of any males and get some more honeys in there.

i know ill have to kill some :( rather do it sooner than later :/

once i got my fems tho cutting ftw :P

it doesnt even have to be a dark place, but u definitely want warm. I recently have germed seeds in my flower room, which runs 78-89 degrees, I just put them off to the side, & they grow tails in less then 2 days.

yup.... It can be in a dark place, you can just let them germ in your grow room... it has to be slightly warmer than normal tho.. the heat helps the seeds absorb water and swell.

Due to the stretchting of your plants I think it would be ideal for you to lst them down so the canopy is it an even level so the light can be place directly overtop...

Yo all !!!!

I got seeds falling out my ass man i got a quarter baggy full of nice strains and another one full of some lame strain , none are sexed tho !!!!

So hense chucking in 30 gonna have to remove the males etc , i decided lifes shit im gonna grow trees and smoke my fucking way outta this spot im in atm lol. (whoops for got about my prop with seeds germing in too 0:)

My soils not bad except i forgot to mix it with perlite for drainage DOH ! but everything seems to be doing ok so decided to leave alone until i repot. ( which i need todo really )

Good soil + plus nutes i hear is bad due to time relase nutes in the soil. ?

i did have them lst'd but i felt mean :P i have kept one going tho but unfortunatly he was a little far from the light but hes looking much better and has alot more growth than the others, ill put a pic up in a sec :)

ur rh is damn near ideal for flowering :) i recently had to purchase a de-humidifier to get mine down. For veg about 55-65 but u can easily raise it by misting ur plants a couple of times while ur lights r on
