    How many lumens does the plant need?

    dont be fooled by the lumens from a cfl. cfls might have the lumens but not the intensity required to penatrate your canopy, i used 18 of the 23 watt cfls each at 1600 lumens. 460 actual watts and the plants were very slow growing, i switched to hps 150 watt and now my plants shoot out of their...

    New grow technique!!?

    root trimming is how they make bonsai trees. i think you should just loosen the roots then transplant, roots are important for fast growth, bonsai's are kept small by cutting off root mass.

    light burnt top of cola...

    also, i dont spray my plants unless they need some fine tuning......too big a chance to go moldy when you spray, especially in winter. and dont spray your buds once they start forming, they will hold the water and mold out on you.

    light burnt top of cola...

    i've never had kola's until i was in flower for a while..... hehe seriously, if your in veg still you can cut or not cut, it will heal. give it a week or so to recover and you'll be good. you dont want to put a stressed plant into flower.

    1 week from clone

    as soon as you have enough shoots to cut....... maybe another week or two depending on how fast they are growing. are they mother plants? if they are you need to leave some growth for the next round of shoots to grow so you'll have more to clone.
