a lot of us breeders ship their stock overseas to be distributed. a lot of them get screwed by the distributors too.... :(

slightly off center, if you use the star spraying types, go just off center (aim the two jets around the stem so they're not blocked) i'm going to try a different kind of dripper soon, called a basket dripper. i have no idea how those work.... :p

i've never had root rot in pots, only fully hydro. with soil, there is the danger of over watering. this will drown roots, and kill them, resulting in a dead or severely damaged plant. my "dirt" is 60% perlite, and i water daily with no problems at all. my 100% perlite requires a basin to allow...

i've had very good results from nirvana. my only gripe is lack of uniformity, but i have found diamonds among the rough.

glad i could help :)

one per pot is fine, i use the ones that cause a dispersal in a star shaped pattern. watering frequently ensures that all the medium is watered, and soil/perlite will wick from the running and draining water/nutes. hot spots (better known as dry spots) occur when you let the soil dry too much...

even with light leaks you usually never have a problem. heat is the #1 stress leading to hermaphrodites. try not to worry too much, and just keep a wary eye out. i doubt you'll have any problems, as your plant looks great! good growing conditions are what it's all about, and it seems like you're...

and as close as you can ;) my next toys will be movers so i can drop another 6'' :mrgreen:

it doesn't, but i still wouldn't worry about herm traits until about two weeks after 12/12. then just keep an eye out. MOST plants don't hermie, so i have confidence you'll not have an issue.

600 would be better for the smaller space; i personally would still go with air cooled 1kw (but i'm spoiled) :p

it's luck mostly. a plant that's not prone to herm can do so with extreme stress. sounds like you got lucky ;)

that's not true at all. my mothers are 4 years old at least, i've taken thousands of clones from them, never a hermie. it's in the genes, stressed plants produce few nanners unless the strain/plant is prone to the trait.

i use 1k's, best results with bigger lights. as for per plant, i never did the math. i can fit 40 under a 1k, but i also grow 3' sog plants.

don't worry about it. post what you like, there's nothing wrong with asking questions ;)

looks female. don't worry about herms right now, just focus on growing. if you notice male pods growing, then worry about a hermaphrodite. as of now, my money's on a girl, two calyxes are plainly visible (though not mature preflowers yet).

i use a manifold and dripper stakes for multiple pots; makes things much less of a hassle. a water wand on pump might work great too for only 8 plants

new growth comes from the nodes below where you cut (ie, those new leaves)

my basic thinking is: the better, bigger, and healthier you can veg out some roots, the better mass you have to promote flower. i use it as a root booster, then halt in flower. i've used it all the way through, but stopped at the advice of a commercial pepper farmer. he said to let the fruit...

awesome! side by side comparisons rock ;) you might even get a few of these! :D

i never quote articles. i speak from experience. do what you want, it won't affect my grows. just consider, i'm not spouting read and regurged info here....
