    First Grow, learning the ropes.

    I dissagree with the smaller pot thing. at this point ripping them up and re potting them is going to cause more harm than good. I do agree that they like to dry out, you shouldnt need to water them for 2-3 weeks in containers of that size (unless your having serious heat issues) root...

    sometimes if she is real leafy i will cut some of the real big stuff off bt for the most part i trim everything same day i chop. i tried drying then removing leaf and thats just a dam mess, leaf dries out and crumbles, and with the sticky resin you end up with dried up crumbled leaf stuck to...

    First Grow, learning the ropes.

    carefull adding too much grass, it is nitrogen rich and too much "green" will create actual heat and could burn roots. 80 + is a bit high but low 80's in veg is not too bad, you want to shoot for mid 70's for optimal growth. you will want to figure out a way to drop the temps, a cool tube...

    Yellow bottom leaves

    huh, plant looks a bit light yellow to me which indicates a deficiency in nitrogen, they do still need N during flower so not sure what Vostok is talking about, they still grow leaves that need nitrogen so the plant can continue making energy for the buds..yes the demand does lower in later...

    if you dont mind me asking, what do you have in regards to budget. have you considered LED? they are far superior to CFL and produce less heat and consume less electricity. but the decent ones are not cheap. if LED is something your interested in i would suggest seeking advice on which ones...

    CFL's dont cost alot, but the money is spent in buying shit to screw them into, even if you go the route of plugging somethng like this http://www.amazon.com/Leviton-61-Polarized-Outlet---Lampholder/dp/B001OM1L06/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409076275&sr=8-1&keywords=plug+in+light+bulb+outlet into...

    its 18/6 not 18/4 there are 24 hours in a day. lights can be about 2 inch away from them little seedlings to help prevent stretch. how much money you plan on dumping into sub par CFL lighting? by the time you add and add and add you could have bought a reasonable HPS light and with too many...

    Dwc slime help needed

    i have heard good things about dutch master zone but it kills everything in rez so if you are running benificials then it will do more harm than good. I am using it now with good results thus far, i use dyna grow for nutrient and keep a no living things allowed in my rez mindset.
