Cut the burnt top colas and the dead leaves a couple of days ago and the poor plants looked like plucked chickens. They started to recover though, new growth from the lower nodes and branches is visible. (A 150W MH and a 150W HPS, with 18/6 schedule, at least a foot away from the tops)

They look quite nice. If that CFL is the only one you have, i guess it's now time to add some more of that or switch to those 600W HIDs. Be very careful with the HIDs though, you saw what happened to my little ones when i switched from CFLs to 150W HIDs. Put the HIDs at least two feet away at...

Well, i better learn how to do lst then. Thanks.

I was thinking to get a cut below the top node (4-5inches) and another at the second node and use em as clones, is it possible or am i too greedy to expect such a ridiculous attempt to be successful? :weed:

Or is it too late? These preflowers almost seem like flowers. Anybody have an idea of what stage of its life cycle this plant is at? Are these preflowers or flowers?

Well, this one is at the end of 3rd week of vegetative stage (five weeks from sprouting) and almost 18 inches. Because of the room's limits, i want this plant to be at most 25 inches at the end of flowering. By the way, this plant formed preflowers 28 days after sprouting! I don't know why...

The plants are still in coma. Out of five females, three are badly burnt. Well, the interesting thing is that, the tallest plant (which was the closest to the bulbs) seems to have no sign of a burn and goes quite nicely and have white little hairs at many nodes (the last one in the picture)...

Well, i think there is no difference between mental and physical addiction (and if there is, mental addiction is worse than the physical one in my opinion). If something, when 'lacked,' causes anxiety, sadness, uneasiness or any kind of mental or physiological discomfort, then it's simply...

Thanks man.

- These plants are a month old and were under CFLs until a couple of days ago and CFLs were replaced by 150W HIDs. - The bulbs are at least 10 inches from the tops. - They were water sprayed when the lights were off, dried for several hours and then the lights were turned on. - I assumed the...

A sad day... I guess i screwed the most of the plants up:wall: Although the bulbs were at least 10 inches away from the tops, they burnt. I don't know if these burns have anything to do with misting water on the plants. I sprayed water on them when the lights are off and let them dry for...

Come on, what should i do now? Should i go on with 18 or more hours of light or should i switch to 12/12? They're a month old now...

1) Since the plants have sexed should i switch to 12/12 or simply assume that these plants are of an 'autoflowering' strain and go on with 18/6? 2) Some plants seem to be burning! (look at those leaves, the first two pictures are taken just after the HID bulbs are installed and the last two are...

Well well well... So here's the news. The new setting is complete. The CFLs are replaced with two 150W HIDs (one MH, one HPS) and the room shines! As a matter of fact, i think using many high wattage (more than 20-30W) CFLs is useless. They produced the same amount of heat as two 150W HIDs...

The males have unfortunately been "eliminated." I noticed that the roots are already all around the two gallon container and the plants may get "pot bound" soon. Should i transplant the remaining five females which are also in 1.5-2 gallon containers? The roots seem healthy though. So these...

According to "Plant Problems" forum, purple branches may also be a sign of sulfur deficiency (sulfur is not included in many standard fertilizers). By the way, it's normal for some strains to have purple discoloration on the stems and branches. I have the same problem:

Vegetative stage starts with the first set of five bladed leaves, whenever it forms (it usually forms when the plant is about 3-4 inches long). The point, i guess, is that the vegetative stage starts when the plant has a certain amount of chlorophyll and a well developed root system for...

As far as i know, humidity prevents plants from losing too much water (plants try to decrease the leaf surface area to lower the water loss which also reduces the photosynthetic leaf area). Humidity also helps to form strong roots, which is essential for seedlings. A relatively low humidity is...

Thanks a lot.

I have a HID fixture with a glass cover. I removed the glass but the glass seems to block the heat so the light can be put closer the the plants. But what happens to that heat blocked by the glass? It leaks out from the fixture into the room right? So the overall heat released into the room is...
