Well, I'd like to add more light, but I'm pretty much maxed out on heat right now so I'm not sure I should risk it. As of right now with the lights I have I am at 85F. Are you sure about 4-6 weeks? I'm at about 8 weeks 12/12 right now.

Right on, I hear you're supposed to wait for amber trics, like 10-20%, or should it be at the first sighting? Or is that not true at all?

As promised, here are some more recent pics, taken just now: Any guesses on when I should harvest? The nugs aren't all that dense but whatever, it looks like I'll probably at least get a quarter, which is nice.

Sorry, I went and partied last night, but I'll have pics tonight when the light comes on, I promise.

Skervy and Wowisuckatthis, you've both given good advice, however, as of right now I am at week 6, that means that there will prob be only 2-4 weeks to go as some of the hairs are turning red, and many of the leaves are yellowing (which I have been removing) so I don't think I'll be making any...

I'm using 8-7-6 now, I'm guessing I want to shoot for less N?

I am pretty satisfied with the results so far. I may have hit a few bumps in the road, but at least I'll have a few grams to show for my experiment. I figure the next time I do a grow in this box it will go way better than this time since now I know how to use it. I will be making some...

These photos are from today.

Dude, LEDs are expensive, and Walmart is probably the wrong place to look for what you are wanting to do with them. Go with CFLs if you are looking to go cheap or save on heat. If money and heat are not an issue, go with HPS or HID.

Hey, I was wondering, my fan leaves are starting to fall off, would it be bad to just go ahead and cut them all off? Also, should I or should I not cut off the lower branches? I'll post some pics in a bit.

Idk, I'd go for some better nutes if it seemed likely that I could increase my yield on my current grow, but I've only got like 4-6 weeks left till harvest. Otherwise, I'll just wait till the next grow to do that.

I've just been using 8-7-6 plant food, its what I have on hand, but I'm sure its not ideal. Is it really worth it to invest in expensive nutes at this point?

Well, I'd like to go with HPS or HID, but I'm not so sure I'd be able to manage the heat in my refrigerator, it gets pretty warm with just the CFLs. I'm going to see about getting another 68w cfl though, maybe something even beefier. Also I'll probably try scrog the next time around.

You sir have inspired me to do a PC grow 12/12 from seed. What awesome results! I've got an old dell dimension 2400 that I don't use and isn't worth anything, so I think I'll gut it and make a grow box out of it.

I do have exhaust fans, one down low to push air in, and one up high to draw air out. I've tried the whole frozen water bottle thing, and to be honest it was a lot of effort for not a lot of pay off so I just sort of gave up on it after a while. What I'm really going to have trouble with is...

I know man, I really should have started earlier. Total bone head move on my part, but I'm going to have to make due I suppose. I'm just going to try tying down the colas when the get too tall, already done that with one. also, I just burnt the hell out of one of my buds (a small one) with my...

Well, I tried it with 23w bulbs, but it got pretty hot, 88 at root level so that won't work after all. At 9pm when the lights come back on I'll try it again with a couple of extra 14w bulbs instead and see how that works out.

What if the temp around the buds is around 90f or so, but the temp at the roots is only like 80-85f. Does that make a difference? For some reason I thought I read that the reason plants survive in the intense heat of the summer (like when it hits 90+) is because the temperature of the soil...

Okay, some of you wanted to see my set up, so I've got a pic for you. I added two 23w 6500k cfls just now, so we will see how the temp holds up. On that note, what is the highest temp I could risk at this point without causing major damage to my plant? If need be, I could probably find a way...

My set up is pretty cramped. Its in a tall mini-fridge. Probably the best I could do without pushing my temps past 90 F is add one more 14w bulb. If I can I'm going to try to get another 68w because those put out almost no heat in comparison with the smaller CFLs, and I think that would be...
