Use whatever technique you have to to maintain an even canopy with good air circulation and light penetration.

This is one of those things that you really have to learn with experience. It is more of a feel thing than an exact amount. The container weight test is the best advice for a new grower. After a few grows, youll just know.

Get a 4'x4' tent. A 600w will cover 3'x3' well, the extra foot will give you some room for odds and ends. If you dont want to run a perpetual cycle just run the MH for vegetative growth and switch to the HPS for flowering. No need to run both lights. You could easily pull 1/2-1lb per cycle...

perlite does not contain any nutrients. That leaf is not really yellow or "chlorotic". It is a bit pale but nothing that would make me start chasing phantom deficiencies. I wouldnt worry about it. I would rearrange those lights. One of those bulbs closer tot he plant with a cheap bayco...

Males usually show earlier than females. If they are the same age and you see definite females, it is likely that the unidentified plant is also a female. Just keep and eye on it. You have plenty of time from when the flowers first appear to when they mature and release pollen.

they dont need more light. They could be turning themselves away from the light because it is too intense. They dont even have leaves yet. They should be planted right awayl. Those plugs are only meant to root cuttings or sprout a seed. The tap root needs room to grow down and branch out.

Post some pictures. The rockwool was unnecessary and probably did more harm than good. Not sure LEDs are the best option for a beginner either. The effective units are expensive, usually out of range for the novice grower. I'm sure the salesperson told you what you wanted to hear. Adding...

Do you have mites? Have you looked under the leaves w a loupe? and I would clean those dead leaves up.

Take a cutting. You can always reveg after you harvest and you'll have the cut going as well. Then you can find out which is more efficient/practical. I use tap water with all cuttings until they root. Not much use for nutrients without roots.

They will flower under 12/12 regardless of "maturity". Though it can take a couple weeks for flowers to form. I see see your plant is 5-6 weeks old. You should see preflowers soon. Why not just flower it?

Those are probably the beginnings of roots. They start out as white bumps on the stem. A few more days and you'll see roots through the plug. Be patient.

Yes. Chop.

Most of the popular commercial strain are crossed with some sour, kush or diesel which are very potent in the smell department. This is what the retail buyer demands. A lot of emphasis is placed on "bag appeal" and stank. Drying and curing will help bring the most out of a particular strain...

I would stop looking at the trichomes and look at the whole plant. She wont be ready until those white stigma have turned brown/orange and shriveled back. The calyxes will swell making the whole buds look fat and round. You will only see the tips of the leaves growing out of the bud. The...

What you have is fine.

you could lose the foil all together. The CFL's are not strong enough to reflect any amount of useable light. Those pots are big for plants that size. Is that coco? Youre doing better than a lot of first timers though. Good luck!

i would suggest reading on the subjects of plant biology/ photosynthesis , plant nutrition, and soil composition until you can answer these questions for yourself. At least a minimal amount of personal effort is required if you want to produce anything worthwhile.

I would lose anything lower than 35w. Get the highest wattage you can find and get them close to your plants. I would train the plants to have a wide, even canopy with little undergrowth as the CFLs will not penetrate very far into the plants. A better option would be a T5 or PLL fixture...

You may have a Ca deficiency. If you are using RO or distilled water or "soft" tap water, you will usually have to supplement Ca & Mg. Ca def will show as burnt or twisted leaf tips, brittle petioles & stems, and yellow/brown spotting on the leaf. I think you have an issue with lockout to to...

I wouldn't call it moaning either. Just my opinion on the strain from a particular company. I dont know how FMS makes fem seeds but I assume they self an F1. The resulting F2's would just have more variability. What do you mean by "vigor" and how do they lose it?
