I guess I should have been more clear. Currently I use a ebb and flow (flood and drain) hydro system. during light hours I water/feed for 15 minutes every 2 hours. During dark hours I do not water/feed at all. It is my understanding that feeding when the lights are out can cause mold and...

Greetings... In discussing vertical growth control with a knowledgeable botanist friend of mine he mention using a 24hour darkness period on the weekend I transition the lights from 18/6 to 12/12 will stop vertical growth and initiate flowering. However he grows in dirt, I grow in water. So...

I realize it doesn't seem like allot of space in the pot, but the roots grow out through holes on the bottom, and basically cover the watering table.

Probably about 3dm when I changed the lights, about 6 now. I had 8 healthy plaints before the drought. The drought definitely took one, three were fellas. if the small pots give me small plaints I can dig that, but dead plaints are not cool at all.

okay so here is the story. I have a ebb and flow system. I use fox farm nuts with the fox farm feeding schedule. I have my pump set to feed them 15 minutes of every hour. I was 5 1/2 weeks in to the grow, 1 1/2 weeks into 12/12. And much to my dismay the hose connected to my pump, which was...

So the stuff I dried was nice. I didn't cure it or anything, just put it in a dehydrator for 12 hours. I think I felt the lack of amber tricromes but it was a nice high so I am thinking about harvesting this guy in the next couple of days unless anyone thinks differently.

you should smell it, picture dose it no justice! I can't wait to burn some. I have a small peice drying, I just couldn't wait.

I am trying to decide if this plaint is done yet. I am on my 9th week of 12/12. It looks like 75% of the hairs have turned brown and the trichomes look cloudy but I don't see any amber trichomes. I changed to water only a week ago so the so the leaves are starting to turn yellow (not sure if I...

I am in the fourth week of my 12/12 and I noticed the fan leaves at the bottom dying off, which I though was normal. than I also noticed fan leaves off the stem towards the top dying with spots. is this also normal? the bud look fine, I think... All the pics below are the same plaint

I am on day 8 of the flower so I am thinking the two I decided are male should be removed. it sucks to loose 40% of my first grow like that but I was expecting it. I was thinking of trying the 21:36/12 photo period to make up for it. has anyone done this? The FAQ says to do it at the point...

I guess I was wrong looks like I don't have all females. I am thinking I have two males and three females. But if someone could check me that would be great. males front right ____ center ________ females front left ____ back left ____ back right _______ _______

okay I came to the realization today that I dont have enough room for my plaints. I guess that was a major over sight on my part. I was reading another thread that was talking about space constrants and I realized that was me also. I think I have about four feet of space after my light/reflector...

I hear you on the nuts. But I am growing in water, not soil, so I think I need them. Besides I have been heavily relying on the guys at my local hydro shop for feeding advice. I know I don't understand the nuts yet but they sure seem too. Next time I am going to just fallow the fox farm...

Sweet! thats good news. That was just one plant (front left) I wasn't sure if the pic would be good enough to tell so I posted all three. here are the rest. So does that mean they are all fems? Front right Center back right back left

Here are some more pics after the first night. Still cant tell sex I don’t think but I included a shot of the stem of the tall, leggy plaint. If that is the way to tell I can get pics of the rest

So how much is too much? if I keep the humidity ~40 and temp ~80 am I okay? or are there other factors?

Not entirely sure how to sex yet but I guess I will need to figure that our soon. is there an easy way to separate the males so I can keep growing them but not have them impregnate the fems. These are all just bag seeds so I am afraid most of them are male. How long into budding should I look...

Yeah funny thing about the heat. The HPS was keeping it too hot. I found a really cheep used portable AC unit, that kept the room a little too cooled. Some I figured, hey add some more light. Yeah CFLs don't put out much heat. But I got it straight now, right about 80 in the light.

With regard to the HPS, yes I am still using it. It gets great penetration but if I had to do it over again I would get a separate ballast and reflector. I thought it would be less expensive but it turns out its just more difficult to get the light on the plaints evenly because the reflector is...

This is true, I wanted some side lighting and it’s hard to beat the price of CFLs. And I am very happy with the result. I added them on three walls and in the corners. The plaints got really bushy after that. Not sure if you can over light. I tried looking that up but couldn't find anything...
