wuddup everyone, im a new to this growing game now and been researching my ass off about this shitt, so far i have one sprout with the second pair of spiked leaves justttt about to grow in. I bought MG nutes, an HPS bulb, MH bulb, and about to buy the aero garden pro 100. I have a couple questionss, where can i find a fixture/ballast for these lights? & Is a 15w flouro (eco lux) good enough for the sprout? Also have in mind that im a sr in highschool and im growin this shit in my closet, im not trying to grow a crop..yet

*i got my seeds from a quarter of reggs so im givin these seeds a shot and gunna baby my plants to try to get good results

regs when grown indoors can actually be really good most regs isnt that good because they r grown outdoors and you have no control so they get seeded and mistreated. The same place you got your bulbs should have the ballast also. you wont need then in the aroe garden it comes with its own bulbs

with fox farm grow big or something like that start off with 1/4th strength(1/4th teaspoon) water once or twice wit nutes, then once or twice with clean water. dont water with nutes everytime or your sure to get some problems. but up the nutes from 1/4th to 1/2 to 1/3rd to full strength, up them ever 2 gallons of water you use. or one if there taking to the nutes real good, and dont feed till there atleast 5 weeks old or they will get REAL bad nute burn, almost every soil out there has atleast a few weeks of nutes in it. hope this helps =)

well sadly its impossible to increase the chances of it being a female. the plants determines weather it will b male or female while it is still a seed on its pollenated mother plant. it can become a hermi after it is sprouted, (female with some male branches) if it is stressed much, witch greatly decreases potentcy and quality of smoke. the only way to increase the chance of not getting a hermaphrodyte is to keep the plant as stress free as possible. dont move them around more then needed, and interupting the nights with an hour of light is almost guarnteed to make it turn hermi, wouldnt u b mad if you were sleeping then all the sudden someone shines bright ass light on you for an hour :P lol

IMO interupting the night sounds kinda stupid lol iv never heard that befor, the only thing iv heard about that is that its a NO NO to mess with the light cycles. 18/4 20/4 or 24/0 are best IMO i would start seedlings with a couple hours of night tho so they can get a good root mass, then switch to 24/0 at like 4-6 weeks. idk whatever works best for your situation is whats best

ok cool, thanks fer the feedback. i stay up with my plant, turn the lights on at 8 in the morn, and off at 2 in the morn. in the morning the sun shines directly in my room so i take my plant and let it get some sun..is this good? giving it a flour light along with natural light? im guessing it is..and also, i have some white seeds, are they any good?

if ur doing this in ur closet of ur parents house without them knowing ur looking into a life of hardships. Keep in mind ur gonna constaly be bringing things into and out of ur room all the time. I was doing it in my parents house without them knowing for 2 years. Took me forever to fully set up the grow, since i couldnt tell them what i was doing id have to wait for them to be out of the house to do any sort of construction on the box, with those huge lights ur gonna need ventilation,. fans for circulation, carbon scrubber, not to mention all the little things u need for a hydro setup. Ur gonna be bringing a tote of water into ur bedroom everyday just to refill the hydro setup. But with great risks comes great rewards
