better to be bushy and short than stretched and tall. no problems there. how many watts are your bulbs - the more the better.

there are no signs of sex on your plants yet.

quick question for anyone who might know..>? i have some leftover plastic that i used to cover my walls in the grow room.. black/white.. If I cut circles out and placed them over the dirt around the base of the plant would it help or hurt my plants in any way..?>

can't see how it would help and you risk cutting off oxygen to the roots and trapping too much moisture

Yea I dont think you need to protect soil from the light, I think it only applies to hydro systems when you dont want to much algae stealing your nutrients.

You would probably get some nasty fungus or something growing.

They are looking good to me at this point .. I found a small hole on one of the fan leaves not sure whats the cause.. no bugs might be small nutt burn .. Keeping an eye on it. These 3 plants are 22 days old from seed. Still in veg currently using 4, 26w cfls.. i fimmed 2 of the 3 plants 3 days ago only slight signs of new growth poping up on the cut site . Noticed they stoped growing for a few days maby stunned from the cut.. comments always welcome Id love to have a few along for the grow..thanks

Just a quick update and some pics of my set up... I have a feeling im running out of room fast . I put 1 plant into flower today going to wait another 4-6 weeks on others. I piped fresh air into the flowering box and temp is stable @ 78-82 deg. 2 plants were fimmed and lst they look to me to be doing fine although this is my first grow so im no expert. started feeding them some small doses of fox big bloom .. questions comments welcome

nothing really to say since you're doing so well. your leaves look pretty dark which means you're about at the limit for nitrogen so be careful about over fertilizing.

starting to notice some rusty looking spots on some of the leaves So Im going to skip adding anything this week and stick to phed water see if it helps . Also I counted 11 new shoots off my main stem . should I thin this out to let it get more light and breath or let it do its thing. Ill try and post pics soon with a better camera.

there are two groups on rui - the pruning camp and the do nothing camp. personally i let the plant grow as it wants except for topping and fiming.
