That doesn't sound right, SpeesCees was a pioneer in feminized seeds. The one I've grown years ago was fem too.
Totally up to you. I've had nothing but success putting them right into an HPS or MH. That said, I've seen plenty of people that do just as well with CFL's too.Quick question.. I sprouted my Lemon Kush. She is a really strong seed. Had a tap root in 36 hours.
Should I just pop her under my 400w HPS or would you advise putting her under some CFL or LED for a few days/weeks? I have her in the corner of the tent in a sort of shaded area. I feel like she is going to stretch for the stars.
I thought about adding silica instead of PH Up but I was chicken and didn't. I don't have enough experience with silica to willy nilly it.HotDiggity the girls are looking good! I do not run 1212fs, how many weeks do you expect the plants to stretch during flower? Curious if that is why you are thinking of stacked 600s. I have seen a 1000w vertical with a light mover if you want to keep using that bulb/ballast. Question, the silica guys may need to chime in, but could you add the silica after the res pH has started dropping to offset that? Or would it precipitate out?
The light mover idea is intriguing...you've got me thinking againHotDiggity the girls are looking good! I do not run 1212fs, how many weeks do you expect the plants to stretch during flower?

lol...I'll have to double check. The C99's are just crazy. I can't even really tell what's what in that sativa mess. I'll check and see if any bottom rows have reached the top.holy shit SOG! i've been MIA for a few weeks and am just getting caught up on some of the grows — these gals are goin' NUTS! in the first pic you posted today is it just my eyes, or have a couple of those lower cindys stretched all the way up to the top tube? very stoked to see how well this experiment is working for ya.
jesus christ almighty.Chapter 3 Update
Day 51
Flowering Day 18
Hey everyone. Sorry I've been a little MIA...got busy with life. I'll try and keep this update brief.
It's been 5 or so days since the nutrient lineup change. Everything is going great although I experienced the same dramatic PH drop which caused me to add more PH Up than I would like. I'm slowly learning and will probably do a full water change in a few days and if the PH is sitting at 6.5 then so be it. It will drop 3/4 of a point within 3 days and by then I will be able to top off and bring the PH back up a little. I'm trying to use as little PH management as possible.
I'm also still in the process of thinking about the next design. Hope to have some exciting updates on that front soon.
On to some pics.
