ok, so your saying if I put an equal amount of yellow and blue light together they will not then turn into green(4000k-5000kappx)? and yes the kelvin scale is how the human eye sees light, but that does not change the fact that the green light is not a source of light for plants which is rated...

yeah, if you are switching to 12/12 get the 2700k, 3-4 should do for a plant that size, but makes sure to keep the lights close and at different levels as the plant grows in height to get the lower levels of the plant...I would try to enclose your area the more light that can be reflected back...

blues for veg, red for flower... 6500k 2700k honestly though, the best way to learn is from experience, that, I don't have a lot of...what I do have is knowledge but just because I say it doesn't mean its the best way...science lets you know what the plant needs at certain...

plant look good, I would flower now... I started flowering mine at 9 inches/28 days old currently have 14 cfl's in my box, but it is only 1 plant that is only 23 inches tall now. might give you an idea of what cfl's can do...

4000k to 5000 k is almost useless... bright white 6500k 14/15 watt about 900 lumens 26 watt 1700 lumens, and range in between...soft white 2700k 13/14 watt about 850 lumens 23 watt 1650 lumens and range in between there are larger bulbs also that put out higher amounts, but I was going cheap and...

yes, the main factor of maturity is the presence of alternating nodes...mine was nowhere near maturity when I put her to flower at 28 days.

lol, ok do what you like, but your 2700k will do hardly anything for your veg, and the color change by switching from 6500/2700 will help transition from veg to flower...also when the rays of blue and red mix they create a color which will neither benefit your veg or flower compared to straight...

lol, I got my lights on clearance here(misprinted energy savings), they are like 92 cents each at wal-mart, the dollar store has them, lots of places, gotta get em before there all gone...may only be in my area though...just remember mj wants at least 3000 lumens per sq ft of grow space... my...

for veg leave lights on either 24/0 or 18/6 for flower 12/12

use bright white 6500k for veg...soft white 2700k for flower...keep within a few inches of the plant cfl lighting is almost useless at over 5 inches 4100k is useless does not have either colors the plant needs, green light is invisible to plants, you can use them to light an your area during...

useless lights

and keep your lights 1-3 inches from your plants(cfls can nearly be touching without harming the plant) and is almost useless after about 5 inches

one tip is not to mix the spectrums of light... blue light(day light/bright white) 6500k cfls for veg...red light(soft white) 2700k cfls for flowering... if you are going 12/12 from seed I would still suggest the 2700k...

4-6 months? never heard of that...and 4-6 weeks wouldn't give you long enough to have taken any buds off that were ready... need more accurate info

at 7 weeks it could definately be preflowers. without a picture I can't tell you if its just new growth, but if in veg and it is the first new growth between the fan leaf and the stem \l/ it is more than likely new growth...if the elbow has already begun to grow sprouts from that position, then...

to save space I would get rid of it, but it could be good to wait till flower to see if its male or female in case your luck doesn't go so well with the male/female ratio...

you should be able to with adequate ventilation, I would say use the square ones, you will get better use of your space for the roots...how many you want in there is up to you are you going from seed or clone? my plant was 28 days old when starting to flower, it is now in day 39 of flowering...

and so you know if you started it to flower it should work, low yield but it will flower...many people grow 12/12 from seed...

your plant may double to triple in size depending on the strain... mine was 9 inches, it is now 23 so increased by 14 inches(makes it a little over double the size)
