I haven't had the opportunity to get a MH light either. Minus the first week under a florecent I have grown from start to finish with an HPS and my plants (White Widow) look great. Hopefully the finished product is great as well.
This forum, full of "Cannabis" types, is full of helpful friendly people. Even the people that don't partake, and just grow. Something about this wonderful plant puts people in a good mood. Shame on any "Nazi Type" government that bans such a wonderful thing. I bet a forum of alcoholics would be...
Will do, my lights come on about 10pm ET so I will get in there a few minutes before that and snap some picks. Thanks for the knowledge, I appreciate it.
Google it and click the shopping link. It will bring up a list of local stores, online stores, and places like Ebay with all their prices. I bought my HPS from an online store brand new for a very reasonable price.
That all sounds fine to me, you should do just fine. You can flower anytime you are ready. Some people go 12/12 straight from seed, so if you are happy finishing with a 2ft. Plant then go for it. Good luck.
Harvest time depends on the strain, conditions, media, and other factors. Typically you are looking at 60-80 days from the time you see your first pistils. That time frame could be a little longer or shorter as well, depends on your situation. Your best bet is to let your plant tell you when she...
Like two months old. The spots are not gone yet but they have improved since I stopped my veg nutes. I went with just water for a week and just started bloom nutes. My new growth looks great, but the older fan leaves still have small amounts of spots. 10 days into flowering and I have beautiful...
I have no intention of doing this now. My intention is to do this once I harvest in a couple months. I wanted to do my research and find what I needed in terms of supplies now though. I like to plan ahead.
Man, I really appreciate you taking the time to write that up for me, thanks. I think I got it now and I am definitely putting my trimmings to use this time.
Just joking around with you man. Honestly bro, you would be better off just waiting until you could buy some soil instead of using outside dirt. If you can't afford it today, just get it asap. Outside dirt is rarely the answer for an indoor plant.
About a week into flowering my White Widows and today I noticed a swelling at my bottom two nodes. I am wondering if this is the start of a female flower ? A male pollen sac ? Or nothing ?
HPS lights are the optimum lights for flowering, so if you have to wait a week to get one then wait. It will be worth it when you get the bigger yield. A good rule of thumb for deciding when to flower is when your plants have reached about half the size you want them to be. Your plant will...
