I am not new to growing but I am unsure how to proceed. I have just gone from a 16 plant setup to a double plant setup. I always flushed my big plants (3-4 feet) for 2 weeks.
But now I have only one plant that stands about 15" tall. My question is... How long do I really need to flush such a small plant in such a small setup? Is there really a difference because of the size?

Every grower has, or still uses these lights. Although they don’t even come close to the results from a HID light, they do however provide a cheap alternative for a newbie 'dabbling' in the fine art of growing. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on an HID light, a newbie can purchase a compact fluorescent for a few bucks, and still have money for a coffee on the way home.
These lights are also excellent for starting seedlings and clones, as their cool light will not dry out the soil as fast as an HID. They have a low intensity, and are gentle on newly germinated seedlings, and are great for clones as they wont dry them out or give them too much of an early blast.
Compact fluoro's are also great for stealth grows, as they can be kept about 1 inch from the plants, and do not require extensive heat ventilation due to their warm operating temperature.

Hi Everyone,
I am thinking about trying a first grow in a closet. I was thinking about using the new High Output Floresents called T5s. I was just wanting to grow enough for my wife and I, about 3 plants. Anyone had any luck with these lights???

*i wanted to introduce myself i am new to the board. i am currently attempting to grow through many months of trial and error. i am currently reading old threads to find out some info concerning my seedlings. expect to see alot of me around here because i know i have a million and one questions. i am trying a little bit of everything soil, no soil and prefer to stick to organic means of growing. my current plants are 4 days old. i am growing as basic as possible. i would rather spend the money on a more elaborate setup after i learn how to grow and know what to expect.
wish me luck!

Hi, I'm very new to growing. Low on cash, and connections few and far between, i decided to plant a seed i had laying around in a desk drawer and the little bugger actually sprouted!
Now I think I'm in over my head. I didn't go buy nice soil, I just dug some up from my back yard. I wasn't expecting anything really so I initially planted the seed in a ceramic mug (it was all I had laying around). I've since transferred it into a half gallon jug and it seems to be doing okay so far. It's only been about four days since it sprouted, and it's about 5cm tall. I've named it Alex (androgyny intended).
I guess my main question is at this stage of growth what sort of light timing is recommended? It's only been a few days but I've been doing 12/12 mostly.
I really only want to grow enough pot for personal use. Is there a way to keep the plant under 4' tall and still get smokable bud from it?
Also I live with my parents and I'm hiding it in my closet, is the smell going to be really strong?
I'll post some pics tomorrow. Please impart your knowledge unto me, o wise ones.
P.S. Good luck, CottonCandy!

hi mate
i assume you are in malaysia,so maybe why not outside,i used to live in thailand,and yes they are fucking huge plants,but outside,and hermies,but knock your socks off hermie or not.
if you have to grow inside for security,i.e serving a long long time inside a wonderful asian prison,i would spend up on air con,dehumidifiers etc,also dont know how you are growing,but if it is local pot it will get very ,very big if given the room,and is it possible to grow outside a cam it up ,it is not that hard to make a big dope plant fit into surrounding,bush,or in your case i guess jungle,but even if you live in the city tying down,and topping can change from a tree to a snake like monster,have grown in northern australia,so humidity can be bad,but fuck that is high,do you live in the same place?you must spend all day hanging for a swim.
good luck mate,and be careful over there,i am sweating just thinking about that humidity,hope it works out and you get some nice smoke,i have some nice memories if some nice times sitting in thailand,and smoking the local homegrown.

There's so much good info here! I'm tickled pink that I found this place; I really enjoy growing so far and I think it could be a major hobby for me.

I just became a member of this sight a few days ago. I like the info. I do have a question. I want to grow just enough for my wife and I in a box. Box being one of those plastic storage sheds you get at Lowes. I was thinking about the new T5 Hi Output florescent lights. You can get them with 4 tubes and I was thinking of 2 single tubes for the sides. I know there have already been threads about florescents, but I have not seen anything on these new lights. Anyone have any luck with these???
