There are no bad plants, just bad growers.

I never understood the bit about putting a plate or bowl or anything on top of the beans. I simply put them in a plastic baggie with a wetted paper towel and put the baggie on top of my cable box, nothing on top, nothing on bottom. I get about 98% germination, but this is using bagseed that can...

Actually looks like underwatering. Keep that soil moist, don't let it get to the point of being dry, or nearly dry. You don't want it saturated but seedlings need to have moist roots till they get some size and stregth.

If they're doing fine, I probably wouldn't add anything, but you can start off slowly, see how they react. Give them quarter or half dose nutrients, wait a few days and see how they do. As far as topping, looks like you've got multiple choices on where to do it. Maybe just top one and see what...

The only real difference you may notice is that it will possibly need more watering/feeding during flower. The plant uses more energy creating the flowers than it does just leaves. Keep an eye on it for a few and see how things look. The plant will tell you if it needs more water or less, same...

Candles do not create CO2, all they do is use up oxygen.

I can't post photos, no digi camera and my phone is just a phone, but I have a plant that is about two years old now, and not a mother. It started good indoors, then just stopped growing. I put it out in the sun when spring of 2011 started and it did much better, but it was about 3 1/2 to 4...

There's no real "solutions" because it's not a problem. Some strains do this, as does some bagseed. If all seems healthy then really you have nothing to worry about, it's quite common. It is possible that your temps may be a bit on the cool side, promoting some color variances, but if temps and...

If you can't wait a few days for a seedling to break the surface before you go poking and messing with it, you're doomed. Growing takes patience. Leave it be, keep the soil moist and it should be fine unless you really damaged it. You've got a few month process ahead of you and getting anxious...

It shouldn't be a problem, just try to keep it from happening too often. Worst case scenario, they take a bit longer to fully fatten up, or they go back into veg state briefly. Very worst case is the small possibility it could herm on you, but that is a minute possibility.

I'm sure you'll get different replies on this, but flowering basically starts when you see the pistils, not the exact day you switch lighting schedule.

Looks like just a stretching problem. You're using CFL's so get the lights about two inches from the plants. As far as water, distilled isn't any better than tap water so it's doubtful that's the problem. Could be a little over, or underwatering, but your main problem seems to be the stretching...

Spraying ANYTHING but water a few days before harvest cannot be a good thing. I'd disband that "partnership" ASAP.

Looks good. Nice tall sativa that you obviously vegged for more than the 4 weeks or so a lot of people seem to do it. Being a sativa dom plant, let her go a good 12-14 weeks or more and you should see some very nice output. Sativas take much longer than an indica dom plant so be sure not to get...

Was it diluted molasses or just straight, thick, sticky molasses? If it was diluted to roughly the consistency of water, you'll be fine. A lot of marijuana is still grown outdors, it rains outdoors, buds get wet, they dry. Unless you caked your plants with syrup, they should be fine in a few...

Looks good, even with the crap light in the photo.

All the problems you've listed definitely have played a role in your plant taking a bit longer than specified. And for a first grow, with minimal lighting and no added nutes, I have to say congrats ma'am. Just a side note too, never count on a plant being "done" when the breeder or seedbank says...

Gotta agree with the Bowery Boys, great stuff. I also dig old Abbott and Costello stuff. There was a three movie marathon on TV last week, got ripped and watched all three, good times.

Looks like it's flowering to me. If you haven't switched light schedule yet, and it IS flowering, it IS auto-flowering. Really don't understand your question here. Keep your lights as they are, no need to change with autos.

Still tough to tell for sure, but looks like a herm.
