    Advice on if I should switch my girls over to flower, worried about stretch. Please

    Veg veg veg! For at least another month. You have a very nice set-up for vegging, the plants look nice n' healthy. But taking all factors into consideration (size of room, size of light, size of pots, age of plants) you have the means to produce a Very Bountiful crop. The only catch is that you...

    Moving Indoors and Outdoors during flowering! +rep

    If your plant is only four weeks old, it's probably not old enough to produce flowers. And why are you flowering 6 in. plants? You're gonna harvest a couple grams off of each one haha, but seriously. Why don't you veg for longer? And either way, you're gonna wanna get More Lights for the...

    Defoliation - removing fan leaves for higher yield

    Great Thread! I do this everytime for the exact same reasons! I feel like I'm growing a bonzai tree, I'll sit there staring at my plants for 5-10 minutes sometimes before making a single snip haha

    First grow help

    You don't need any UK growers to back you up. Trust me man, I really am a Biologist and specialize in Plant Science. In reality, you want as many compact fluoros as possible, if going the fluorescent route. If you want to go bigger, purchase an HPS set-up and buy a Metal Halide conversion...

    First grow help

    1) Four Compact fluorescent bulbs (bright white and/or cool white, color: 5K-7,500). About $5 each. 2) Two dome reflectors from Wal-Mart's automotive aisle (they have the lighting-fixture already attached, a nice reflective dome around it, AND a clamp haha they're perfect). They're about $10...

    Seed conservation

    If you plan-on keeping em in the fridge, I would put the zip-lock into a dark bag; in order to keep the light off of em.

    8th Week just seeing Pistils now??

    Seeing pistils after 8 weeks is completely normal. You typically veg a plant for 1.5 - 3 months and then flower for at least 2. And if your plant is outside, then the nights might not be long enough to get optimum flowering. To help it out, give it some feed. I use a 10-30-20 for flowering.

    Nutrients

    I use a 20-20-20 for vegging, and a 10-30-20 for flowering. Just make sure it's water-soluble.

    Can I clone two weeks into flowering?? And can I also top two weeks into flowering?

    You can take the clones, but you gotta "re-veg" em by putting-em under 24s. The stress change will cause the roots longer to root, but it will work. As far as topping during flowering...NO haha. That's what the veg. stage is for.

    How to know when a seedling goes into veg?

    The seedling stage finishes-up about 2-4 weeks after germination (breaking the soil). You'll know your plant is in veg when it starts having the crazy growth-rate that weeds have haha.

    H20 Question Help Me OUT!! please

    Sounds like your doing well. It's better to give them less water, rather then more water, when trying to find the perfect amount. One of the biggest mistakes by new growers is over-watering, but it sounds like you're on the right track! Once the plant is big enough, pour enough water to get...

    Plants Wilting!! idk wtf.... HELP

    If you need to support it vertically, do that, otherwise just let it repair itself. Can I ask why you were mixing around your soil?? You should be using WATER-SOLUBLE nutrients. You should Never mix around the soil during the grow. Disturbing the soil can result in the following: 1) The...
