I think the CFL's were a good idea considering your space. You could grow more plants just flower them sooner if you wanted to have an HID. However you have tons of light and the plants obviously loved it, and if your lumens are at the levels that you have them the only thing you can really...

ya there is no real guideline for when to top. GK and socko are a perfect example of how adaptive the plant really is

or you could trim the lower branches and setup a ScroG and have very nice big buds!

good question, I'd like to know ... To my knowledge the only difference, and its a big difference, would be the color spectrum. I could be very, very wrong though.

doctor, try not using caps and real punctuation. its a struggle to read what you wrote.

Niblix is there a reason why you do that? I heard 24/7 for seedlings increases their chances of being male. I'm not sure though, I'm just wondering why you'd start with 24 and then switch to 18...why not stay 24? or why not just start at 18?

fdd are you saying that could be it? I highly doubt it was the LST'ing because i did everything right, and there was no kinks. its probly the nutes .... wah im a noob, sorry for making you all roll your eyes... I'm learning though, and I appreciate the feedback

no its on a rought 90 degree angle and it took me 20minutes to bend the damn thing slowly!!

thanks Graf, I will do that also, I did water them on Friday with nutes so maybe I overdid it and im just seeing the effects today? I'm definatly going to losen the ties though. and reapply if i get balsy

I'm debating just taking it off if it continues throughout the day. Id rather not LST if its gonna do damage to my plant. This is my first grow and the point was to experiment with LST'ing and such, so when I do it and it counts its done right,

No I made sure that I bent the plant very slowly, and it seems to be a smooth bend. I think i may have somehow kinked it in one area. its not all the leaves, just a couple.....LST shouldn't cause ANY damage if done right? hmm that worries me, I think I did it all right.

Ok, I have plants that are just a little over 3weeks old, with about 3-4 sets of branches and very dense growth. I tried LST'ing one of them last night, everything went smooth with the counter tie and slowly bending the plant. When I woke up this morning I noticed some of the leaves that are on...

sorry I am by no means trying to come across as educated in the subject, im completely new to growing. I'm just repeating what I've seen in video's and/or read. Your right, I think the bit I heard about small roots = more energy to leaves was done hydroponically as opposed to soil. I am...

the name of the game isnt root growth for me. Personally, I'd rather meet 1/2 way from 16/8 and 24/0 to something like 20/4+. That way the roots don't use up nutrients the leaves would normally, and therefore bigger buds. I posted this on another thread, but its relevant info: all I've ever...

from what I've read its more environmental aspects that determines sex, but its a gray area. thats why im posting.

EDIT: Obviously you wouldn't want to go any lower than 14-16hours of light a day as it may induce flowering. but he said 16-18 was good for getting close to a 50/50 chance of females...

Ok, all I've ever read was "most professionals use 24/0 lighting for optimum growth", which is fine if your growing clones and don't mind tall plants. However, I was talking to the guy that owns the local smoke shop here and he said when growing from seed, the amount of light the plant recieves...

I should just use a little bit of soap in a lot of water? and should i soak or just mist? only the plants or the soil (thats where they seem to live)? More information on the soaping method would be much appreciated. Cheers

you can build a unit very similar to what your going to buy for a significantly lower price try HOW-TO HYDROPONICS : Hydroponic system and aeroponics plans and growers guide

I've got a very small setup in a closet consisting of 2 plants, I've noticed what I think are whiteflies...I've read here and there that spraying the plants/soil with a diluted dish soap / water mixture, then rinsing 15minutes later solves the problem, but I am very skeptical. My main question...
