This, my friends, is gold.

I think we need a little more info on your lights. ;) (Kidding, of course). As many others have said, remove bags/dome, place under lights (a couple inches away to prevent stretch), and READ! But, at this point, it's pretty simple: just don't overwater, and no nutes for the first week or...

I surely wouldn't top in flower. That just doesn't make sense to me, as she's not growing any bigger, so to speak, just beefing up. You'd be liable to top off your bud, and no one wants that, particularly a flowering plant. LSTing may not be bad, but be careful at this stage, as she's likely...

Just to throw it out there, but perhaps your hid bulb is a bit old, thus not pushing out nearly as much light as it should be. Just a possibility, as I've heard that airy bud is a light thing (to the extent it's not simply genetics). As for composting the plants, please tell me you at least...

Good to know. Thanks! I've been pumping high strength with every watering, and the girls all seem to love it, lulling me into a (possibly) false sense of security. In recognition of the good info, and honor of this thread, I hereby give you rep! ;-)

I'd be concerned with more than about 12 hours of light, as they may not flower as well/at all. Reworking the indoor set up makes sense, imo.

You can prepare her/them for outside by putting them outside for increasing amounts of time. I believe it's called "hardening off" or something like that. If you're really concerned, start with a sunny window. As Shik said, bringing them in after 11 hours of sun should keep them flowering just...

I'm using the GO Box now, and am pretty happy. It's also simple enough for a new grower like me to mix, and I don't have to worry about burn, etc.

If it's a burn from the light being too close (which it does sort of look like to me, as the other areas of the leaf aren't affected, yet the cotyledon is a bit brown right near that same spot) then it should be fine. It looks pretty minimal. Good luck, and happy growing!

The higher the numbers (i.e., 5000k, 6500k) the more blue the light. 6500k is or there abouts is what you'll want for veg. For flowering, though, you'll want to switch some up for 3200k, which is more of a red spectrum. 6500k are often called Cool White and 3200k is often called Warm White...

I assumed you had the light socket thing figured out already, but you've got several options. Anything from clip-on lamps to sockets that plug into power strips to building and wiring an awesome hood yourself. Spend a bit of time looking at people's set-ups in the CFL section (and the DIY...

That's definitely enough space, and you could probably get another plant or two in there. As for fans, they are always a good thing, as the plants need fresh air, and the moving air helps strengthen the stems. You could/should use more light. The general rule of thumb seems to be 100 actual...

Yup. And personally I think they look a little thirsty too, so perhaps a tiny bit of water could help (not enough to run out, just like half a cup). Of course, I'm no expert either, so take it for what it's worth.

But my wife said our kids are half black because she had tanned the week she got pregnant... Great analogy! Cheers!

Good stuff, man! I've been fooling with tinctures a bit recently, but haven't gotten nearly this fancy. Nevertheless, my next purchase is likely to include a mini crock pot for this purpose. Question, though: have you used any other solutions besides glycerin? I'm thinking about trying...

You're only supposed to leave them in the water for two or three days tops. After that, they're essentially drown. Check out my journal; I just popped a couple seeds in water, and planted them this morning. Good luck and happy growing!

We're all with you. Be safe.

3 to 4 weeks. I’m doing so now. Check out my journal for more info and pics. Good luck and happy growing!

Attempting to document each branch's leaves before the cuts: This is the one that I cut a couple days ago after having broken off the only bract (the red leaves*). The cuttings. I might try to root them (at least the one with the green leaves growing at the top), but I don't have cloning...
