Hey guys and girls. Im new to growing so bar with me. i started out with a 5 gal bucket and i got a 400 watt mh/hps light i new too the names of things to soo feel free to tell me wat im wrong on! i think that light should be enough for one plant. right? and how close should i have the light i have had the seed in the rockwell for about 4 days and its lookin like its about to pop up. should it take this long?? In the bottom of the 5 gal i got to water stones they make enough bubbles i think. i will have pic soon. but till then let me no some tip and if you can answer my ? thanks guys
 
A 400watt light is plenty for a single plant. Better hope it turns out to be a female. What are you using to supply your roots with moisture before they hit deep water?

And yes it can take 4 days or more for a seed to pop, next time you may want to germinate using a paper towel or just pre-soaking the seeds for 24 hours before placing them into the rockwool.

And you should start your light at 2 feet, use the back of your hand to gauge if it's too hot. I've heard of 8-9 inches but that's pretty close.
 
I dont know if you've seen this chart but it helped me

I don't see any logic in that.

rofl... thats idiotic...

maybe they meant if you plant other seeds you have a better chance of getting a female.
 
Ya you could start seeds in like small cups and stress the hell out of eum so they have a high chance of being male. Thus your plant u want to be female knows there is a male around and wont pollinate herself. Or you could skip all that if you are an experienced grower and dont stress you plants very much and have a very high female chance. Or skip both of thoes and buy fem seeds. :)

the first idea sounds terrible... and makes no sense...

stress will cause more males, so stressing your plants is a bad idea... and won't pollinate herself? wtf are you talking about if you stress a plant it herms but if you don't stress it its fine...

so basically if you don't suck you should get some fems and some buds.

Dude ur not listening and being really pissy for no reason. Whats it gonna hurt to start some shwag bag seeds in plastic cups and keep a male around to provoke your good seeds to stay female. Plants can tell when there is a male around and have a less likely chance of hermin on you. Read up some man and everyones grow is different. I have never bought fem seeds and i have never had i male plant out of 20 so u can sit here and tell me thats redickulas all u want but it works. So you can bash me all u want or u can just grow your way and stop being so negative towards other peoples methods that work.bongsmilie

You do realize bag seeds can be feminized

your method is a crapshoot.

I'll take your advice on the matter, thanks.

just trying to sort out the ill-conceived information so my friend Gr33n Cr@ck here doesn't go home thinking something "redickulas"

" Plants can tell when there is a male around and have a less likely chance of hermin on you." is doubtful

but the fact that you said you have higher chance of female with a male is just "redickulas"

Ya you could start seeds in like small cups and stress the hell out of eum so they have a high chance of being male.

at least that makes sense... btw "very high female chance" I would figure its about the same as the human population (about 105 females to 100 males at birth) which is barely over 50%... I don't call that really high...

besides, you're the one being pissy, xpac..

well I remembered it from a college class on world population issues but apparently wikipedia disagrees and says the accepted rates are pretty much in between 103:100 and 107:100, males:females (as concluded by the CIA[?]) which I find kind of odd.

in fact wikipedia is blowing my mind because it says there are 100.1 males per female world wide which is really odd to me
 
Ok well its cool im just doing it because it worked for me. I was just baseing my info off my grows. Happy growing....
