Typically slow growth is related to inadequate heat and humidity. Like riddleme said though we'd need to know a great deal more about your growing situation before any real advice can be sent your way.

I would say you'd be better off getting a bunch of smaller bulbs instead of one big one. Get some 42's or 26's and spread them out evenly around your girl(s)

That 14W will not carry you all the way through. I'd say you will need to aim for at least 100W of well positioned CFLs. Personally I prefer to flower under HPS, but I always veg under CFL with great success.

Sounds like a fairly simple and straightforward cloning method. So far it isn't going so well. If she was in dirt I would say she is overwatered. Since it's DWC I'm guessing it is a lack of oxygen. I am not sure what is wrong though. I poked the 3 tiny holes. They aren't putting out many...

How do you do your cloning? I built a reservoir in like 15 minutes today. Really simple. Gonna switch my big girl to it later tonight. Time to see how she likes it.

The roots can take as much as like 3 or 4 hours with no water if they have to. I know this from screwing up and forgetting to check the water levels on several different occasions using other aeroponic style setups. One time they got so dry that the plants wilted completely. Luckily I noticed in...

I really like the looks of this. It seems perfect for what I'd like to do. Any recent pics?

I think your first measure in fixing your root problem should be to cut off all that dangly root that is below the main clump. I have experience with a very similar setup and I will tell you that there is no harm whatsoever in cutting the roots back a much as necessary as long as the plant is...

That was a great link.

I've always heard that the pistils can be a little misleading. The trichome colours should tell you exactly where she is. I can't say for sure though. I run the same strain every time and I've never had a scope so I just kinda play it by eye. I start my flush when my eye thinks it sees cloudy or...

The easiest least wasteful way to get the concentration down is to add as much ph'd water to the res as possible. If you can't add more water to the res you may have to waste some by dumping it so you can add the ph'd water. They might be fine though just watch the leaves. If they stay green and...

Do you have access to a scope strong enough to see the trichomes? They will truly tell you wether or not she is ready. If you can't get a scope try using your plain eyes. Just focus really hard and think about what the trichs look like. You won't be able to see it as accurately as the magnified...

I agree that the equivalent wattage stuff is useless in this context. However, what I dont agree with is that the higher wattage HPS are more efficient comment. At a certain point the bulb is so big and so hot that you cannot get it close enough to the plants for maximum efficiency. To answer...

Buds look gorgeous indeed. I am not intimately familiar with that strain, but I would say you are good to start flushing. A solid week or 2 of just clean water and she will be good to go. Good job man she looks great.

I wouldn't go full nutes yet. Keep slowly increasing the strength. They are still very young and have very low nutrient requirements.

I would highly recommend Train Wreck. She's very hearty, easy to train, and a big producer. Very pest and disease resistant. I can bring her in fully flowered around 40". Also a really high THC% and a great overall stone. Fairly fast flower. Usually goes 55-60.

No you don't need to cover it. You also don't seem to need to mist it either. Just keep your humidity high and you'll be fine

I got 3 strains from BCseeds. I grabbed their Ice, AK47, and Fem Train Wreck. I LOVE the train wreck. It is a really hearty strain that is really fast and resistant to lots of nutrient issues. Not too mention the buds were delicious. All my fem seeds came out Female. No hermies anywhere. The Ice...

It's almost harvest time. Are we at least gonna get to see some nipple? Or will I continue to have to use my imagination?

How are the girls doing? Haven't heard from you in a little while.
