also... how much more will the plant grow??right now its 19 inchs tall..any help on how not to screw up the flowering??

it will hit at least 30 inches by the time its done...and you should see pistils or balls within a couple weeks of switching the lights...everything is lookin real good man

Your plants look nice and healthy. Get the big one inside and put it on a strict 12/12 light shedule. You did not mention lighting but hopefully you have it setup and ready. For a HID grow the flower stage uses HPS. Anything non HID make you have bulbs with a color temp of 2700k.

Good luck to ya.....

thanx honkeytown and E=mc420..
i do hope it reacges those 30 inches..about the light..the plants are outside the whole day...
ok..i've read that they usually flower in august and september..so my question is should i just let nature act by itself or should i bring it inside for 12 hours or dark...
*after i switch it to 12/12 when should i add the flowering nut

 

[E=MC420]

Timeout bro..you are getting confusing. Do you plan to put those under artificial light (ie light bulbs) and keep them inside permanent or do you plan to use the sun as your light source?

you can nute as soon as you switch the light...or you see a bunch of pistils start poppin out of it...and if you can keep them outside then leave them outside...nothing grows bud like the sun.

 

[eduardors77]

sorry 420..
what i should have posted was..
i plan to bring them inside my garage an keep them in there for the 12 hours of dark..
but my question was should i just let the night take its effect..and just keep them out till it flowers on its own
honkeytown saids out..
what do you think???

 

[E=MC420]

If you can bring them in for total dark and as close to a 12/12 schedule I think they will atleast show their sex faster. just keep em on a tight routine.

[eduardors77]

ok.guys..so today i went to check on the plant and it finally showed sex..and its a girl...
two little white hairs..will show pics prob tomorrow..when i get a better camera..
also today i was looking around and found some lights..just need some help on deciding if i should use them since they are pretty weak..chem them out

2 are 60 w and the Light Output is 840 lumens..2 others are also 60 w and give out 540 lumens...and 2 others are 75 w and give out about 120 volts..
any suggestions..maybe if i use all of them..it might be enough..cant buy good hps for now..bummer...
sooo any help is appreciated

those lights dont look any good go and least get some flourescent lights that say soft or warm light on the package as that will be the right spectrum of light you need.

I know all about the budget thing bro...the one thing I can say though is....if you are gonna go spend any money on cfl's then wait and watch craigslist or ebay for deals. I got my 600 watt hps with the hood...flex tubing and 150cfm fan all for 135 bucks....cheap as shit and the dude gave me an extra hortilux bulb. nice...so check craigslist if you can....just an option...but I totally hear you...I remember looking at every light in my house and other peoples houses before I got my 150 and 600 and wondering to myself...hmm...would that work...

 

[donWonton]

thans bro..yeah im on a tight budget right now..but still cant wait to have some light and keep the plant indoors...more efficient..

[eduardors77]

yeah thanx evanpower..
i was thinking of putting it either inside my garage from 8 pm to 8 am..then tacking it outside..since these are the hours that no one opens the garage and it dark enough not to see anything...
what do you think?

 

[GDPgrower]

that should work, you just have to make sure the schedule of taking it in and out is done exact, if any light is on the plant at all during the night cycle usually during the first weeks of flowering, it may turn hermie
