Generally speaking, once a plant enters flowering from veg, it will grow to twice (or occasionally three times) the height it is. So if you only veg to a third of your available space you'll be fine. (Be sure to include space for the pot it's in and the lights, and the space from lights to...

Remember when you're figuring how much space you have, that you also have to figure in the height of the pot you're growing in, the depth of the lights you're going to use, and the space required between your chosen lights and the plant.

Kinda depends on how big your pot size is, and how long you veg for. A 400w is effective in a 3x3ft area.

It can take up to two weeks or more to show sex once you go 12/12.

Yes and no, I think you're better off getting more CFL's on them than the tubes - they just don't have the same penetration. They will do the trick though - I just don't know if you'll be happy with the results. Do you have a Home Depot or Lowes near you? Can pick up a four pack of the 6500K...

lol That's funny - I was just talking about the Superthrive in another thread. Yep all you need is one drop per gallon of water, people say you can use more but why if you don't need to? However - don't use it in flower, it can cause flowering times to lengthen (according to the Grow FAQ). I...

Interesting article DaveCoulier, thanks for shareing. I don't entirely believe it, however. My first grow, I didn't have Superthrive, didn't use it. Second grow I did. All three plants were chopped within a few days of each other (they wound up flowering together). After I was done, I emptied...

I would try and keep the temps steady around the 75 mark. 68-78 is where mine seem to be happy. Looks like you have a combination of things going on, starting with the cold - definately stunted them, possibly even damaged the roots. If so that could be causing a nutrient lockout. They look a tad...

Thanks! No worries - take pics of your girls once a week for comparison, it's hard to tell when you see them every day, but side by side you'll be amazed at the difference every week brings. If you look at my Trainwreck photo album under my profile, you can see like four or five weeks all at...

Whoa! That is waaaaay too cold! How long were they like that? That's probably your problem right there! Do you have pics of them?

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, compact, sweet, and man, you would not believe how sticky they are.:mrgreen: Yeah I would use the HPS for veg, especially as I got the MH conversion bulbs for 'em, but I'm doing a perpetual grow, and I have a batch of Trainwreck going under in a...

Ok guys, the buds were ready for the jar this evening - weight, 12.4 grams. Had about the same in good sugar leaf/popcorn bud trim.:peace:

Yep, cool, dark and dry - those three will keep 'em for a long time. Welcome to the forum!:peace:

Yeah, all of mine are feminized, I don't really have the space or resources to waste on males. Purple Haze and Blueberry both sound yummy too!

I got four Trainwreck and a Moby Dick going right now, and will be germing the next round on Monday - four White Widow, an LA Woman and a Sour Cream for sure, possibly six White Rhino as well. Still debating that.

Thanks! What are you growing currently? And am I the only one having trouble with the forum today?grrrrr lol

My Trainwreck girls all have those reddish/purple stems, and they are kept at 78 degrees 20hrs a day, and 68 the other four. Unless you notice another problem along with it, I wouldn't worry just over the color.:peace:

You bet! Woulda gave you some rep back, too, but it says I gave out too much today, lol.

Seriously??? That sucks...I've read it time and again on this forum, not just from one person. Wouldn't think 24hrs in the dark once, would hurt any more than the 12 hours of dark they get daily?:?:

You read right, anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Just gotta be patient.:peace:
