Thanks for the advice. I have nightmares of males infecting my females. I get the magnifying glass out and pull them out if i find any. But now that I'm cloning I will probably use seeds less to reduce the chances of pollination and have less stress. Thanks again, any advice if greatly appreciated.:weed:

Yea man u gotta look out for contaminating ur crop happened to me just by bringing an old pot (that had a mature male in it to make seeds) into the same room as my auto aks and sure enough they all have seeds... So be clean or stick to the clones.

constantly buying seeds could easily get expensive and you cant keep that mother going on forever technically you can but i say sacrifice one female to get a good amount of seeds and not worry later on why pay for 10 seeds when you can pollinate one female and not worry bout seeds for a long time plus its free i dont see reason on wasting money but i guess its up to your own priorities

Awesome! I really hope it does..
I wanted a 600W, but thought it could get a bit too warm inside the tent, so I decided to do something slightly different ;)

Hey 400 watters! i just got a 400hps the other day, sunleaves enclosed ballast...I thought i could control the temps with my exhaust fan that i have, but its a steady 90-91 degrees in there, and the ballst is very hot, you can put your hand on it, but not for too long. My question is can you guys point me in the right direction for a good, SAFE, not too hot, and reliable 400hps? I'm returning the one i have, and want to get one that the light and ballast are seperate...You know like i'm sure all you guys have! I've got exhaust hooked up now, so all i'd have to do is unhook the exhaust and hook it to the light, and draw fresh air from down low? Can you guys help me get a good light? Thanks!:clap:

Look around for light brands, now that I think about it...I don't know what brand my light, nor my ballast is..haha

As for fans...it really depends on your grow area. Can fans are much more effective, but unnecessary if you're growing in a smaller area. A good inline fan is your best bet for a smaller grow area. I picked mine up from lowes...It's a 6" duct fan...i think it was 30 bones?
