T5's and CFL's are great for vegging and I've seen decent results with CFL's for harvest. It all boils down to what you're happy with. If you just want some bud, CFL's will definitely work. If you want fist sized buds loaded with trichs you may want to invest in bigger guns. The difference in my...

I'm lost. You've just managed to keep it at 30 with lights on 27 off...what does that mean? If you're using CFL's heat won't be a problem as long as there is distance between the lights and your plants. I use true 125 watt CFL's to veg and keep my plants between nine inches and a foot below...

It's a little hard to tell from the pictures. If the lower leaves are affected it could be a mag def. Add some epsom salts with your next watering and watch. It'll make a fast difference if that's the problem. I had leaves that turned yellow on me and I knew my N,P,K were cool so I added the...

If you use a medium that has sufficient nute you won't need to feed for a month or more. Just watch your plants. Lower leaf problems generally mean a mobile nute problem. Learn to recognize the little changes and make small adjustments and then just let her do her thing.

When lower leaves are affected it usually means a mobile nute def. N,P,K Mg, or Zn.

I'd say at best you can seperate the indicas from the sativas. Beyond that you'll have to call up some genetics lab and find a cooperative stoner.

Clonez was right on there, and you're right not to want to hurt your girls. The stress never helps. I use LST fairly early in veg and in the long run you get way better light penetration and more bud. It's amazing how limber those girls get and the shape they'll assume. If she had legs I'd marry...

T8's won't put out the lumens you need for more than starting your plants. Two tubes especially. You need light that will penetrate the canopy. I use 125 watt CFL's to veg and a 600 watt HPS to flower. Works great!

The answer to that is start your own post and not hijack another.

Autos will flower regardless.

Looking a bit stretched. That's hard to control when you start with heavy lights though, you can't get the light's close enough. I used a 125watt CFL to veg mine and the nodes are TIGHT. I reread your post, if you were using T5's they were too far from your plants, that accounts for the stretch...

I'm from the school of take care of the soil and it will take care of your plants. So in that respect molasses is a good thing.

This thread has been very interesting. For what it's worth, Jorge's Bible says on page 76, " Avoid the taste of organic or chemical fertilizers in harvested buds by flushing with plain water or a cleaning solution to remove any residuals and chemicals that have built up in soil or plant foliage...

Hell. Call it Killer Tall Plant and claim it as your discovery. I would'nt worry about plagarism.

Jorge definitely knows MJ. I love that book!

They're stretching for sure. I used a 125watt CFL about nine inches above mine to veg and it works great.

It might be a little heat stress. Mine reacted the same way. The first pic looks like you're using sunlight. What light are you using in the second photo. Wattage and distance from your plant?

What sort of lighting setup would that be? CFL's?

How do you handle the heat from that 70watt HPS? lol
