    21 days from seed how do they look???

    I would'nt go below 5000k for veg. 2700k for flower. You can still veg with 2700k but why? I use a combo of 6500k and 5000k. When I flip I just add my 600 watt HPS and move my CFL's around for side support. Seems to work for me.

    Is this setup too intense for seedlings?

    I suppose you keep your plants just inches from your lights.

    Could someone explain the different ways to grow?

    Another great way to get your bene bacs is RO OregonismXL. I use that with the Trinity as a catalyst.

    Roots Organics soil PH

    I saw a youtube video where a guy is reusing his soil and he had side by side comparisons and they were eye opening. We've been talking or heatedly discussing RO soil here. lol From what I've read alot of the ingredients improve with time and would be a good choice for reuse. The green sand for...

    Roots Organics soil PH

    Yes it should be. I planted straight into my RO soil. The 707 formula is designed for less drainage, why? I don't know unless it was meant to amend soil for outdoor growers or something. I won't pretend to know. The RO potting soil I use has excellent drainage. I've added nothing to the soil...

    cfl first time grow. advice

    I opted for more myself. I am a big believer in the use of CFL's for vegging, but I use 600watt hps for flowering. What kind of yield do you average with CFL? Just curious.

    Crazy trichome production

    I've heard that up to forty eight hours of total dark right at harvest kicks in resin production. Maybe it had something to do with that. It's the plants defenses to certain stimuli.

    cfl first time grow. advice

    I agree. I kept being told to keep my plants inches from the CFL's and burned the shit out of my plants. I kept my 125watt CFL about nine inches above my plant and had great results. Your best advice is just watch your plants. Watch the haters too. They'll argue lighting, soil, nutes. Do your...

    cfl first time grow. advice

    The 6500k is better for veg but you can grow and flower with either. Most people start with one and then either add the 2700k or exchange the 6500k for the 2700k. I use both with good results. The autoflower will do well, you might want to add a couple for the sides depending on your light...

    Could someone explain the different ways to grow?

    I have to disagree. My PH read way low and I worried. The soil buffered the low PH. Soiless is closer to hydro and a low PH is acceptable. No dolomite lime, no checking the runoff. She's blowing up low PH and all. I was nervous, and tried it on one plant after talking with someone. It workd for...

    You'll do well. It's the love of doing it for me, the bud is icing on the cake.

    Newbie?

    No. It will revert back to veg. People do it all the time. How large is the pot you have her planted in? If she gets root bound that will stop growth BIG time. Light and nutes will affect growth as well.

    Could someone explain the different ways to grow?

    Cool attitude my man. No disrespect I assure you. Try Jorge's Bible. It is full of info and very easy to understand. It covers indoor, outdoor, hash making, nutes, lights, the whole cha cha.

    Could someone explain the different ways to grow?

    I had PH concerns with my RO soil, but the low PH did'nt bother my plant. I worried incessently about the PH but someone told me that soiless is closer to hydro and a lower PH is tolerated. They were correct. Aside from a little epsom salts for mag I have'nt had a problem with the low PH. You're...

    Could someone explain the different ways to grow?

    I hate to sound like a dick here, but invest in a good book. Jorge's bible is a good start. Then research. Growing to me is like playing Texas Hold 'Em, it's easy to learn, but hard to master.

    True that. So they won't have a pedigree. Next time stake your names, but I'm sure you figured that one out by now.

    Is this setup too intense for seedlings?

    I know the feeling. I had a hell of a problem with PH. A person I talked with said the soil adjusted the PH and not to worry. Reluctantly I followed his advice on one plant and he was right. Now I just watch my plants and give them what they want. People make this shit alot harder than it has to...
