    Opinions Wanted, is it a hermie?

    the second picture looks like it has a pollen sac, can't tell on the first pic. Just let it go a few more days, and you should be able to tell a lot easier.

    Help with lights

    if you could only do one or the other I would go with the HPS since it is better for flowering, and thats what counts most... I think the other is the mercury vapor, but I don't know where it stands as far as color output...

    CFL Grow [6] 26-watt 6500K

    I usually hear 2 different opinions, either 1 foot per gallon or 1 month per gallon, I would assume it depends on the strain, but I don't think you will get it very big in a 1 gallon without being rootbound at some point...

    Help with lights

    HPS(high pressure sodium) is best for flowering...MH (metal halide) is better for vegging...Just like the 6500k cfl's are better for veg and the 2700k are better for flower. HPS is higher in red light MH is higher in blue light... Blue light mimics the earlier stages of summer(vegetative...

    Newbi 20 day old bags seeds 400 watter

    it may be, but I only have experience with rootbound plants from friends, and on here, none of mine have been rootbound(I don't think) This is my first indoor grow, I usually grow outdoors, no pots, didn't have to worry about it. The clone I have flowering now is to test how big a plant I can do...

    Newbi 20 day old bags seeds 400 watter

    you should be ok taking clones at 10 days into flower, it might take them a little longer to root, but it will still work. I would suggest not taking clippings while the plant is stressed too much, you don't want to stress it more and make it hermie. If you do take clippings, I wouldn't take many...

    1000watt in a 4x4 heat issues

    I just got a 1000watt MH with a switchable ballast.(don't have the money for a HPS bulb right now) I want to use it in my 4x4 grow area...(1000watt should be in a 8x8 I believe) so the problem I'm gonna have is heat. I set it up in my room last night(without ventilation) it was a little over 110...

    Using peat pellets?

    sounds good 420, was not trying to make you choose sides...I just get annoyed when people say one is better than the other( I understand that both will work well, depending on the conditions supplied by the grower and the climate you are growing in). As I said earlier you will get many...

    Using peat pellets?
