    My 1st grow just hermied

    You've come this far already, you might as well finish the plant out especially since it's your only plant. Keep checking it for pollen sacks and carefully remove them with tweezers if you see any. I've had plants hermie on me before, and in my experience after a while, the pollen sacks...

    Question regarding number of supplemental CFLs w/ 250HPS

    Personally, I would use 42 watters, as they tend to be very efficient. But 23 watters are good too, because they are cheaper and easier to find at your local stores. As far as using them with your 250 HPS, use as many cfl's as you can fit in your cabinet. The more light the better. And don't...

    what attributes to good weed do you look for?

    Hmm....I want to say the buzz is at the top of my list, but that's the destination. The journey is, I think, more important to me. I think if it looks, tastes, and smells good, it makes it much more pleasurable to smoke. It can be an awesome buzz, but if it looks and smells and smokes like...

    Enough light?

    It'll work ok for veg, but is less than adequate for flowering. When you switch to 12/12 replace those 5000k bulbs with more 2700k bulbs, either 23/26 or 42 watt.

    CFL setup, im new so tell me what you guys think

    Looks good so far. A few comments for you: 1. Read the sticky's on this website. There is much to be learned from them. 2. Don't be in a hurry to use nutrients. You definitely don't need them just yet. Wait a couple (maybe a few) weeks. 3. Light positioning is fine. Get them as close as...

    Reuse soil?

    As long as the soil isn't infested with bugs/mold/etc I've reused my soil more than a few times. Seems fine to me.

    Usa credit card cant purchase seeds from out of usa help me

    They won't even check your records unless they have reason too. That's why people need to keep their mouths shut about growing weed in their house. If you flap your gums, and your nosy neighbors hear about it, and call the cops, THEN you MIGHT worry about them checking your credit/debit card...

    What is the best way to germinate seeds?

    Like MMGG said, you'll get a lot of different answeres, and mine is a little different than his. I feel that we shouldn't handle the seeds anymore than necessary, so my preferred method is just putting them in soil, and keep them warm and moist until they sprout. Truth is, most methods you...

    Usa credit card cant purchase seeds from out of usa help me

    My god, you people are making this WAY more difficult than it needs to be. I just used my standard debit/banking card (linked to my checking account) to order my seeds, in my name, right to my house. I never had any problems whatsoever. Just go to your local bank and open an account, use the...

    Light fire but powerstrip

    Uh..I might worry if you are using a cheap power strip. Check the fine print on the back of it, those cheap ones are only designed to be safely used a few hours at a time. Invest in a GOOD power strip if you want to be safe from fires. More info...

    Whats The Best Medium For Clones?

    I'm with Xcon on this one. Clones only really need a neutral ph in the medium. You can otherwise use anything within reason to root your clones. The more important factor is the conditions in which the clones are living while trying to root. I.E., keep em warm and moist. .

    Buying seeds with Visa gift card?

    If I remember correctly, when I tried to use a pre-paid credit card from wal-mart, I had to activate it first to be able to load it with money, and to do so I had to enter my name, billing address etc etc. I think that's where the problem might be - if you enter different info for the card, and...

    can the police really catch you from your electricity bill

    If you rigged up your panel box to steal electricity, then yes they might bust you. Don't steal it, and just pay your bill on time and you'll be fine. And don't tell anyone you're growing. ;)

    Yes, direct sunlight degrades thc much quicker than if it was stored in the dark. Not sure if it degrades into cbn or something else? You'll need to reasearch google for that answer.

    like i said im still new

    Sounds like you might need more and/or better light. You have any pics? Double check your lights; the spectrum, wattage, distance from top of plants, etc. Your plant shouldn't really be "leggy". Is it more stem than leaf?

    drying problem ,,, advise help needed.

    You could just rig up a cardboard box for drying?. Just put a small cpu or duct fan in the bottom to exhaust air, run some string through the top of the box, hang the plants on the string, and put it in a cool dark place.

    Differences of CFL bulbs?

    Use 23 or 42 watt cfls if you want the best efficiency. Those higher wattage cfl bulbs sometimes just use more electricity for not all that much more light output. The rate you would be going, you might as well get a 250 watt hps instead of two 125 cfls; you'll have more quality light from the...
