hmm. wasnt impressed by the link. tons of other ways to know that ur bud is done sure. but the easiest way to tell a newb how to tell if his plants are done is to tell him to check color. of course 12000 other way are available but unless uve grown enough pot to get an idea of these other ways ur toast. a newb will never figure the swelling of the buds or the way the pistils have started changing and unless they have grown a few times and have noticed the changes first hand otherwise they will never figure out what ur talking about. lol. its all about practice in this art form. if the newbs havent practiced the easy way, what makes u think they will get the harder and more advanced ways of telling?

a single 26 watt cfl in a lamp above ur clones will work plugged directly into the wall on 24/7. once rooted they can go right under the hid without a hitch. just as an fyi. they dont need a shit ton of light. remember they arent trying to grow up top just down below in the water. the cfl is basically just enough to keep them in veg until they root so they dont die. low light keeps them from trying to grow as much up top which in turn keeps them from yellowing as much and dying as quickly from the starvation. cloning is a lot easier than most people think. even in rapid rooters a single cfl will work. but u need rooting concentrates for it to work correctly unless ur strain roots easily. but u wont know till u try. or take a party cup with holes in it. toss some coco or something in it. dip ur cutting in some rooting hormone and shove it in the medium. cheap easy effective.

and just shove them in ur closet. good a place as any.

Damn man, that's a lot of pressure. I am just out to grow some decent weed.

I hope my bud is as good as you are making it out to be. We will know in about 4 or 5 weeks, for now they are still alive and the buds are getting thicker by the minute.

I've done it and it is not something you want it doesn't have a good taste and it lowers thc level. If you wanna quick dry just hang buds in low humidity they will try in like 3 days.

Meant to say dry*... The best way to dry is the long route if you let buds dry in optimal conditions it will take like 2 weeks to dry and it will be a better smoke. And if you want a really good smoke you should cure for 2 months the least, its worth the wait.
