Hey all, well I'm a first timer when it comes how to grow indoors. out of the 25 bagseeds that i started out with. Now only 5 of them turned out females. I have had them for about 2 months now or so and have kept them on 12/12 to sex them for the past 2 weeks. I use a 400w light. for my starts i used to 2 long ballasts with 2/40 w plant grow lights in each. I also have 2 250w lights & 1 400watt currently not being used. Thats all i can think of right now. please leave me some pointers and comments. Thanks.

Well the only nute's i've used are just what are in the soil and some filterd fish soil from the bottom of a hatchery. The temp is 77-82 and i have the light from smallest plant at 27''

Using the balaste's for starts.. heres a picure.


Only type of ventalition I have to recycle air.


There's only one plant in the cfl box with those lights.

Took some Advice from a couple people and hooked up the other 400w Mh light. I also added some moisture control Miracle grow for some better Nutes. well thats all i can think of for now i look forward to hearing replies and Posting more pictures to come.

400wattMH Light W/ Reflector 12Inch's away from closest plant.


Another shot; as you noticed bowed them down with fishing line to hopefully get thicker/bushier leaves.


any advice is welcomed.

hey man... what about using the SCROG method.... when you use a screen below the lights... so the leaves can't pass the screen and get burned, and the leaves make a canopy....
