ok, so what can i do to increase the number of females in my garden?

ok that's what i figured lol, but i wanted to be sure i wasn't missing out on an opportunity to elimate the possibility of a sausage fest in my growing area lol

ok, i heard somewhere that if you interrupt the 6hrs of darkness in a 18/6 cycle with 1hr of light, you'll increase the chance that your plants will be females. is this true? or are the sexes of your plants predetermined at the birth of the seed? what's the deal? :peace:

yeah those cotyledons look a lot different than what you usually see... they are usually oval shaped, kinda like a clover.

awesome. yeah, i definitely was thinking that my plants looked small for their age. i always see pics of plants at 2 weeks who have tons of leaves. thanks for the advice!

i'm using miracle gro potting mix right now. i won't use it for any other plants though because i hear that it's ph level isn't close to 7. also, i'm definitely going to upgrade my lighting setup in the next two weeks or so. i'd love to find a secondhand 400watt hps somewhere. are the 150watt...

haha wow that cake recipe is cool, thanks lexi! tripping for four days seems kinda intense though haha. wow. must have been insane.

yeah, those pics were taken right as i was posting this thread lol. the older plants were all between like 5" and 7" tall, but obviously very very leggy. i just buried them so they wouldn't keel over lol. plus i want short stocky plants. so they actually have pretty intricate root systems...

that's pure insanity! :-o how big did the plant get before harvest?

haha that's a pleasing answer :-) and yeah, those plants look nice :peace:

haha i know. grandma's boy is the fuckin best. i love watching that movie and 'joining' them for a smoke whenever alex goes to dante's for a bag. haha! also, that weed tea idea is really intriguing... how many dried leaves do you need to brew yourself a pot?

Ok so i just moved my lamp to about 1" above the first set of leaves on my four plants. I'm using 2 40 watt Verilux Instant Sun with Phosphor3 bulbs, each with an output of 2100 lumens. I'm doin 18/6, and i have a fan on a low setting circulating the air near my growing station whenever the...

oh wow... i've always just heard to use bud for making butter.

haha i guess that answers that one. leaves and stuff other than buds don't contain thc

wait... weed won't pollenate itself. it's unlike most other plants in that it can't pollenate itself, because an individual plant won't sport both sex organs. you can have a female plant, which produces thc rich buds, or a male plant, which is only useful if you want it to pollenate your female...

i think he's talking about looking at the little tap root of a newly germinated seed lol

yeah i did watch that first one, it was a fun one to watch. i learned a lot, and he really makes me wanna build my own hydroponics system! the other one i haven't watched yet, i'll have to check it out. i'll definitely have to check ebay for one of those HPS lamps, i'd love to be able to buy one...

ok i have a great solution to your lighting problems. go to your local agway, or even better, a lights/electrics store. i went to one near my home, and they had everything from the normal incandescent light bulb to the HID bulbs you'll be wanting to let your babies grow. i picked up 2 Verilux...

oh yeah and i'm probably going to buy another lamp to hang from the frame on my station. i paid about 30 bucks for the fixture and the two bulbs on my current setup. is there any other type of lamp/bulb i should use that falls around the same price range, or should i just buy another one of the...

ok i reburied them and moved the light down about two inches closer. i also turned on my other full spectrum torchiere just for some added lumens, might as well. oh by the way, the pics look really dark... i don't know why, it's actually really bright over at my station. don't worry, i don't...
