Here are pics from the first plant.

Great. (sigh) I have six plants growing in the closet. I will take pictures of all the plants, and maybe you guys can tell me which are males and which are females. It's dark now and I don't want to shine any light. I understand about the pollen getting on the lights and grow room, and the...

I'm not certain at what stage the plants are in. Notice the "pollen" in the second photo. What stage am I in, and how close to harvest? Thanks, Bob

What does LST stand for?

The plants were way too long in vegetative state, now starting to preflower. The beasties are five feet tall grown with CFLs in a closet. As I don't have room to raise the bulbs any higher, the tops are starting to burn. I was thinking of switching to side mounted bulbs to reduce the chance...

So why not just foliar spray all the time? I can see mixing the EJ recipe below at a quarter strength (1/4 tablespoon EJ Bloom, 1/4 teaspoon EJ Grow, 1/4 tablespoon Maxicrop, and 1 teaspoon Catalyst) per gallon. Test the pH of the solution, and add Up or Down to adjust. Add solution to...

@bonz So I wound up liming the plants and watering last night. They needed the H2O. I picked up the Earth Juice line today: Grow, Bloom, Catalyst, and Microblast. If you have a feeding schedule, I'd love to see it. I will probably have to wait until next week for application, as the plants...

While searching through various liquid fertilizers, I came across this brand. The main product names are Vigor, Grow, Bloom and Organic Activator. Does anyone have experience using these products with their grow?

No one local carries the Fox Farm products, though I may go with the Earth Juice or Botanicare lines. I'll have to see when I visit a store tomorrow. Any thoughts on mixing product from different lines? Also I have applied lime to raise the pH before. My plants will require watering in...

So now I am confused. You're saying to not add ph UP solution, but rather fertilize with one of the Fox Farm products depending on what stage (vegetative or flowering) the plant is in? Please post your schedule. Bob

So the readings of the six plants from the Milwaukee pen: 6.4, 6.3, 5.6, 6.6, 5.7 and 6.4 The two 5.x are the most alarming. Considering that pH should only be raised by 0.1 per day, how many drops of pH UP do I use, and then I do I add water every day? Bob

I went out and purchased a Milwaukee test pen (model?), and a small bottle of pH Up and pH Down. Will test pH tonight. Indoor growth, about three weeks in the new soil. Lights were originally on 24/7, then adjusted down, now on a 12/12 on/off cycle. The seeds are bag leftovers, so I don't...

@ bonz: Wow! Never thought of letting the plant dry out. With all the work I've put, I have grown attached to the batch; paternal instincts coming out. With that said, I will do as you suggest, with almost wilting. One of the neighboring plants has started to enter the flowering stage, so I...

I test the moisture level every day with a meter. I never overwater, and let the soil dry a bit before replenishing. Understood about the nutes, just concerned that I don't want to burn again. I am going to purchase a better pH tester, and another kit for testing nitrogen and phosphorus...

Hey guys, Soil grown plant as you can see in the photos. Just over two months old. The lower leaves are withering. Had possible nutrient burn, so I flushed the soil twice. I have not added anything since, other than distilled water. The plant has been transplanted once already. The leaves...

And that is assuming total darkness, or is partially shaded okay? Bob

Thanks for the input Wacky. Right now I have the lights on 24/7. To make sure I understand you, I now need to go 12 hours of light, then 12 hours of darkness? I have read different FAQs, and was unclear when to switch to an alternate cycle. After how many weeks once the seed germinates?

Alright, thanks guys.

I used Miracle Gro for the initial seedlings, but then switched to a local brand of bagged soil. I'll try the double flushing, mist the leaves, and get a picture of the whole plant tonight.

This plant is one month old and two feet tall. Can you tells its sex by the attached pictures? Thanks.
