I disagree with the 24/7 guy. I've done both. The plant doesn't get very much bigger and grows at about the same rate. I would recommend 24/7 from sprout into veg, but not veg into flower. The extra cost really isn't worth it. If you are using 1000 watts 18/6 at .10 cents/Kwh you're going...

I went the home depot route. I got the 70 watt HPS with two fixtures for CFL. I bought 4 42 watt CFL, 2 warm and 2 cool white. Both put out around 2600 lumen's. The cool white I used for veg plus the HPS and the warm I used for flower plus the HPS. Since the CFL are cooler, I mounted them...

How many days flowering before that growth started to show? I was convinced about 10 days into flowering my plant was male. It turned out to be female. I wouldn't kill it till your 100% sure. The female growth kind of looked like little balls to me at first, then they opened up and...

45 inches tall. Buds are coming out everywhere. It is going really well. I think about 2 more weeks and it will be ready to go.

Thanks for the tip, I will try it. As for the main grow...I am now 99% sure it is female. I see pistils growing out everywhere today. Lots and lots of white pistils! I have about 10 areas with pistil areas plus the cola which is HUGE. It is almost 3 feet tall and putting on about 2...

Cloning 100% success. I just put my cuttings in distilled water under a 5500 K 13 watt CFL with a cover over the water. They started showing roots at day 5. I guess this is fast as most people were saying 2 weeks too show. I think they will be ready to plant in about 7 days at the...

Quick update. I got back on the fence about its sex. Not sure at this point, it has been flowering for about 1 1/2 weeks. I thought I saw some balls. Turned they were just new growth. Now towards the top I think I am starting to see a few white pistils. They look different than the new...

Update. This is day 33, day 8 of flowering. Switched the florescent tubes to CFL's. The pair are 42 watts at 2700 kelvin, 2600 lumen's per. It brings my total lumen's up to about 10,000. They are MUCH cooler to run than the fluorescents. There is no measurable temp change at .5 inches...

More pictures when I can tell sex for sure. Right now I am about 85% sure its female. There are two pistils coming out at every node. The plant has also doubled its growing rate. It is at about 2 inches per day. I feed it MG 15-30-15 a few hours before the first 12 hour dark cycle started...

I just turned 12/12 yesterday with the addition of co2. The plant is almost to 20 inches. Thats about 8 inches in 7 days. I've also added a pair of florescent grow lights to the sides. I noticed the light wasn't getting down to the bottom of the plant. If its going to grow 2 or 3 times its...

I've been keeping the light at about 4 inches with a slight breeze. Keeps the top of the plant around 80, and the rest of the box around 75. Yesterday my plant just exploded with growth for some reason. It put on about 3 inches and the fan leaves grew by 20 percent in 24 hours. I think its...

100 watt HPS, not a special light, just hardware store HPS. I want to get some experience under my belt before I invest hundreds in lighting. I keep the light about 12" away at this point. The fan leaves absorb a lot of heat if it is any closer. Not to much nutes, one feeding of MG...

Ok so I read just about everything on this site about indoor growing, and for all of those who are considering growing, I suggest you do the same. In 7 days I went from picture A to picture B (below). I could have probably sat and watched this puppy grow. It is currently 12 inches and growing...

Hello, I am new to growing and I would like someone to tell me if I am on the right track or not. This little guy sprouted April 30th, and has been getting much larger every day. I use a Miracle-Gro 18-18-21 plant food with trace minerals. The soil is also MG, Organic Choice...it was the soil...
