When my plants are growing too fast in veg I switch to seedling fertilizer and I get stingy... I also find restricting the root system slightly works. (When you do relieve the root-bound plants you just have to unbind the roots a little.) I've also had good luck with LST and supercropping...

I neglected to mention it appears your CFLs might not have shrouds... Light from CFLs exits at a 90 degree angle from the tube making it omni-directional... You can increase the amount of light getting to the plants if you place them inside reflectors. Best of luck!

Try one in moist paper towel next time... Water the paper towel every night and pour off the excess. Most seeds pop in 3-4 days. (At 70-75 Fahrenheit) Use a seed starting mat if you can't keep the temperature around 70. Best to plant in soil as soon as you see the tap root so it doesn't dry...

Looking very nice!

No matter how much light you give them they always want more! Looks like you have quite a crop! As the plants progress through flower the bigger fan leaves will start to give back (turn yellow)... letting you know which leaves it no longer needs. Your crop looks good!

I think you'll hear advice all over the spectrum about this... The plants need leaves otherwise it wouldn't grow them. The leaves act as an on-demand energy source in case the plant needs more nutrients than it can get from the roots at any particular time. The plant targets the fan leaves...

Nice flowers! You can pick up those little hand-held microscopes for around 10 bucks... A worthwhile investment considering your little beauties! ;-)

I probably give my seedlings a teaspoon of plain water per day when they are that small. Bottom line the seedlings don't need significant nutrients and the roots are very susceptible to burn when they are that small. (Why take the chance?) Seedlings do quite well with water for 1-2 weeks...

Cervantes has a video on using a cup of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O3) per five gallons of water to get rid of Powdery Mildew. You dunk in the Hydrogen Peroxide bath for a few minutes then rinse with plain water. I tried it once and was pleasantly surprised with how nice the bud comes out. I've...

I think Northern Lights came from the days when different breeders used the same name for many different genetics. I noticed your genetics is called Northern Light... I bet it's a different take on Northern Lights. As far as wanting to chuck it... I can understand what you're thinking. I am...

I agree you have to go longer... Flowering under CFL slows the flower cycle. Look at it this way... The plant is in fine shape to focus on just producing the medicine!

I once grew a strain that I believe was from a Gigabud plant that was repugnant in flower and when dried. Probably heavy in ammonia. I just looked up Gigabud and it's parents are Northern Lights and Big Bud. I stopped growing it because it had a tendency to throw out a male flower at 6 weeks...

NL5 x Haze has very little smell... Back in the days before everyone had a carbon scrubber that was a plus! Most phenos of this strain smell like mild incense. I had a Jack Herer pheno that I swore smelled like piss... It was great smoke though!

My leaves only get like that in the cloning bucket... Did you get to see the roots?

That's where I picked it up. It is an incredible collection of available data put together by leading doctors and researchers... the book's title does not do the it justice!

I agree with you... As a medical patient, I am astounded at the idiocy of federal politicians standing in the way of doctors... effectively preventing them from helping their patients! Unfortunately, when you prevent real science, I guess all you can hope for is "bro science"! I guess any...

I read in "The Pot Book", a surprisingly good medical book on Cannabis, that it's not good to inhale too deeply or hold your breath after inhaling. I dab rosin frequently, I find it's even smoother than BHO. I don't find a tremendous difference in how my lungs feel when I dab versus when I...

I always try to run my plants to the very end... While the addition of CO2 has helped I always end at the very high end of the breeders flowering time estimates. (14-15 weeks) Someone suggested I leave the lights on a shorter time once... I typically run 12/12 in flower. So I went 10/14 for...

I have the same problem with strains I like disappearing and not being familiar with any strains available... I would imagine it will only get worse as the number of breeders increase. DJ Short (The creator of the Blueberry strain... Maybe all Blueberry strains!) wrote an interesting article...

If the picture with your finger in it is of rooted clones in soil then water should be all you need... That being said, it's difficult to tell how much water you have in each plant's cup. Clones of that size need very little water and, the roots grow better if you don't compact the soil with...
