Nope. After about a month of vegetative growth they will show preflowers. Females will have a couple pistils in the crook of the nodes. The males will make a few pollen sacks that look like little balls. It's basically them hitting puberty.

I was thinking about reducing it slowly for the same reason. I kind of wanted to try the 24-48 hours of total darkness to start the flowering period. It supposedly gives them a huge jump start on the flowering process. I'd just be worried about possible hermies being the result. I try to mess...

What else you got growing there? I see some basil and rosemary. I just started my own herb garden the other day. Some of the seeds are just starting to sprout.

It needs to be continuously exposed to fresh air correct? So if I use it as a foliar spray I need to empty the spray bottle back into the big tub when I am done correct? Otherwise it will begin to stink and rot in the bottle? Could I make tea and store it in the fridge? I don't use very much so...

I decided to extend the dark period another 2 hours. Now it is 18/6. I figured it may help them grow a bit more. It won't be much but it will cut down on the electric bill a tad also. Maybe a buck or so.

Alright. Juliana is a month old today. She is getting extremely bushy and dense. I am going to have to thin out another 2 branches probably and remove as much lower growth as possible. I'm going to take it slow though. I probably have another 2 weeks of vegging before I put them under 12/12...

Hey Blue, the girls are looking good. Sorry to hear about your illness, but I'm glad cannabis helps. Since you are new to this whole situation let me give you a piece of advice that is of the utmost importance. Tell absolutely no one about your grow. No matter how much you trust someone they...

Hey Don thanks for stopping by. For veg you want to get the daylight 6500k. I've used 26w 1700 lumen (100w equivalent) with great success. I like the 42w (150w equivalent). They are the ones with 2700 lumen. They actually get pretty good penetration. I'd use one of those 2 sizes. You can get the...

I'd just follow what he said to do. I wouldn't hang the white plastic. Good airflow is needed, and the reflector hood is shining most of the light down. You don't need anything reflecting up above the HPS hood. Is that what you were asking? You aren't spraying the buds with that stuff are you...

I got black kow composted manure. I'm also going to be using this for my vegetable garden. Should I add anything else to the tea? I have sucunat. I can also put a lid on the container with an air pump and an air lock. So bugs might not be a problem. I also have fox farm's grow big, tiger bloom...

I've seen people top when there are only a few nodes. If you cut it too low sometimes it takes a while for it to bounce back. Try to leave at least 3 sets of nodes intact. I would personally wait until you have at least 5 developed sets of nodes. Also when you top don't cut at the highest node...

Just checked on the girls. The temps are 77.9, 79.8, and 79. When the house gets a chill the box is perfect. The house is right around 65. Both girls are looking good. Tia grew up an inch over the past 24 hours or so. She'll need LST'ing soon.

I felt the base of the bulbs and it is interesting. All the 26w were hot but no so much I couldn't continuously touch them. The GE 42w was warm but not as much as the 26w, and the Sylvania was actually cool to the touch. I'm going to check again after an hour or two. If it is cool I'm going to...

Fed Juliana some watered down grow big nutes with some sucunat added. Also gave her a good spray of nute juice with just a touch of the new mix added in. Gave her a spray earlier with just the nute water. Tia is still droopy. Just gave her a tiny bit of water to moisten the top layer of soil...

Okay, the lights had been on for about 45 minutes so I reached in and felt the base of the lights because they seem to emit the most heat. The base of the 42w was cooler than the 26w. It must be a more efficient cooling system. So I switched out a 26w for another 42w, and I moved the other 42w...

Are there chemicals? Is the organic title just a ploy? I saw black cow compost and mushroom compost. Should I go with one of these? I do want to stay away from chemicals. Although I guess it may already be in the soil.

I saw a 65w cfl at lowes today. Equivalent to 300w. 3700 lumen. The thing was massive. 3 times the size of a 42w.

I just picked up another 42w sylvania cfl. It seems more compact. Hopefully it will be cooler. Although the one in there now doesn't really put off much heat. I also saw a 65w (300w equivalent) 3700 lumens. This thing was ridiculous. It was about 3 times the size of a 42w. Be interesting to try...

Okay new question. Compost basically is soil, right? So could I make tea out of miracle grow organic choice potting mix?

Thanks those videos were exactly what I needed.
