Hey hey,
I would say keep them stems in the water I always do.
Make your cuts with a razor or exacto knife at an angle..to late now but next time.
Put a couple of slits in the stem...again to late now.
I use the rooting gel & powder..same results.
Try not to leave too many fan leaves as the...
Maybe i'm just confused but 50" long so you can hang the 48" light...so you want 24" height? I would say that's way to low...consider 24" minus pot or res height...

All i did was paint the walls white...still have one to paint actually. Flat white works best.
Is the water heater adding heat?
If it was a gas water heater it would be awsome if you could use some of the co2 from the exhaust....but i seriously would NOT fuck with my water heater venting...
My fault i knew it was wrong but couldn't be bothered to look up the right abreviations...was pretty buzzed and quite honestly i'm suprised your reply wasn't more along the lines of 2+4 equals 6 not 42....
It's been a long time since i studied electricity....

Depending on your pot size you could go a week without water, especially when the plant is real small since it's not actually drinking much of the water. A mature plant on the other hand can suck a gallon a day.
When i have small plants in large pots i sometimes give them a small watering just...
Thoses are not preflowers. That's where they will be when you see them but that ain't it. You will see two hairs sticking out of a little bulb, when you see the hairs you know it's a girl. If there are no hairs and the bulb is sorta hanging down....your looking at some nuts.
From seed it think...
I just got a 150w HPS light from rona, it's a security light. Tried one plant under if for the first grow and she turned out about 5 feet tall....
This leads me to believe that putting a 150 W HPS in a rubbermaid is not going to be a good idea...your going to start a fire or burn out a retina...
A humidifier, that's a first for me...not a bad idea i guess.
You could put a clear glass over the plant like a dome to keep the humidity in...
Plant looks good, light distance is good.

Keep in mind that you have a lot of seeds started, there will be some males but even if you get 5 females they could be pretty cramped. I've found in my limited space that it doesn't make much difference in yield if i grow 2 plants or 5. Takes a bit longer with 2 though.
Not sure how much you...
Looking real nice, especially the first one.
Has heat been a problem? Are you under the stairs or in the attic? or...
Are your reflectors the ones for car windows? kinda look like that. If so those and emergancy blankets reflect a lot of the heat energy of the light but less of the light...
Very true they are i'd say somewhat delicate. I'm not suggesting you let them get all mashed up againt the light, but you could I discovered this when i ran out of room to raise the lights...so had little choice. I've since started using putting a net up which gives you tons of control to keep...
Nice work...your setup looks so much like mine that i thought one of thoses pics was mine for a second....Are those T8 or T5?
If they are T8 then you can put the lights right next to them...as in touching is ok.
I would suggest going Scrog next time...took me two tries to get it right but it...
Without getting into all my bs and problems i would suspect pH ....but i'd wait for someone with solid soil experience to chime in.....i''m interested too.
Ya keep an eye out for the 2 little hairs when you see them you will know for sure. Check the top at unimatrix 001 as it should show signs first ;)

ok so....
8x32w T8's on 18/6 for 4 weeks & 12/12 for 9wks = 1260hr @ 256W or 322Kw\Hr
plus pumps and fans..
aprox 70W max * 13wks = 1178hr @ 70W or 82Kw\Hr
404Kw/h * $0.12 (bill is so complicated i guestimated..) = $48.50
$48.50 plus nutes $10 = $58.50 / 4oz or 112g = $0.52 a gram I can...
