i don't plan on flowering until the plants are a month to a month.5 old. if this works out, i'll be sure to name the unknown strain jn8hahaha now ur talking my lingo, that is good, just make sure you have red spectrum lighting when it comes to flowering and makes sure you reflect all of the light possible and i think ull be good!!!

once you start seeing the water drip out of the drainage holes.. water them slowly though.. dont just pour it in all at once.. make sure all of the soil is wet then stop..ok for watering in the little solo cups... how much should i be watering? until water runs out of the holes i poked in the bottom? or half a solo cup everytime the soil dries out?

look for the post of the person you want to rep, then look for the post number (#50 or whatever number it is, it's yellow/green) and to the right of that, is a scale. click that.

I saw the pics you put up in your thread. We have the exact same brand of bulbs
(i got a coupon in the mail for $10 off a $50 purchase at lowes!)
Are you using 8 65k bulbs, and one 27k bulb? in your other thread it looks like a bigger bulb.
Is that a CFL grow?

partially, for now, its 6 26 watt cfls blue, and a 400 watt hps.. Im getting another 400 watt hps, a 400 watt metal halide, and 2 exhaust fans and a carbon filter, for free from my cousin on easter so Ill probably stop using the cfls..I saw the pics you put up in your thread.

If i knew how to work paypal/send money to you, i'd offer to buy your lights/y splitters off you!

you can get the Y splitters at lowes for like 1 dollar and some change hahah. I wish more people would post shit on my shit lol. Also as far as CFLs go. I think Vegging with them is awesome. but its so mathmatically obvious that HPS is gonna be what you need for flowering.
