First grow

yeah if all your conditions are right, yeah.. for me, the first month is all about growing roots and minimal foliage... once the roots are established, it goes ape shit. At that point, they aren't focusing so much on making new roots as they are pushing for growth right before transition to bloom.

I'm also at the point to where my plants are showing signs of sex in veg. Once I start seeing hairs, that is when I pound them with high nute veg formula for about a week (to finish off the veg cycle), and then start my transition to bloom.

CFL's like that would be fine mate. Well vegging depends on what you've got to work with size wise, but probably around 4 weeks, 5-6 weeks from sprout but there's no limit :)

Fuck Dan, My landlord had to inspect my place yesterday. Holy shit talk about the mad dash to get shit the fk outta the place.

Had to tear it all down. The girls were pretty pissed off. Had to get them to the safe house and they were out of water for about 8 hours.

Spent till 4am putting it all back together, got em all happy again 7 hours later.

Hate to do this but.... I'm the fukkin' man. lol

His place, his rules. That's how it works. Green card or not.

My pipes froze and the boiler wasn't accessible. Last time it was a valve/switch and he had to switch a part out. It killed heat to the entire building. So since that was recently, I figured I would have him stop by and check out the boiler room.

Well, he verified that everything was working and that other units had heat and I had a frozen pipe, which happens every year in the same spot. Happened before too, just had to heat a section of wall. Well, I was under a time crunch, so once he turned his back and left, I ripped half that wall out and (with all the power strips, cords, etc) hung 9 hair dryers... why my woman has 9, i dunno, in front of the pipe and within 15 minutes, I had heat.

called him, said shit was good to go, and he said cool, thanks for saving me 500 bucks for fixing that yourself instead of having me call a guy to fix it.

When he came back over to bleed the air out of the lines, I told him that I cut a 6x24 inch hole in the wall to get to the pipe and I installed a floor vent in the hole that i cut out, so now the pipe has room heat to keep it from freezing. He's like, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I'm like dude come look.. It was all professionally installed within an hour.

Bam. 1 seriously happy landlord.

That being said, now my exhaust is ducted into the wall in that spot. I'll keep 75-80 degrees blowing there from now on.

Go bigger, put it in a freezer or fridge since you like being sly about stuff. Get you one of those little personal fridges from walmart and gut it out. That'd be pretty slick if you could pull that off :)

A mini fridge next to a computer in a bedroom is hardly noticable, although, your friends would probably be more likely to look in the fridge than some cabinet in the guest room. Hey dude, lemme get a soda... wait, wtf is this? Know what I mean?

That was my exact thought lol thats y i like my end table i put a clock on it and its an end table remove clock and the lid to the table and bam balam bad ass grow lol...so do u think i should let em veg more or just start flower on sunday after lights off for the 36 hours

What's with the lights off for 36 hours? Edjumakate me.

Just remember, once you switch to flower, that thing will pretty much double in size. You don't want to get too much plant and not enough breathing room, literally, plant has to breathe so it needs the space to do so. And heat, the less space available as your plant gets bigger, the more the temperature will rise, so keep that in mind.

That's why I run 2800w in "spring" and 1800w in "fall" :) Less space, and the temps going lower and transitioning to different lighting makes the things go hog wild into flower immediately.

I read that turning the lights out for 36 hours before switching to flower bulbs helps the plant think something and some shit lol i see it everywhere and i asked my coworker about it and he said that lights out for 36 hours is something him and his bro do to his brother is like some drug lord here he just harvestef like 5 lbs off his plants ...and thats y i wonder if i should switch to flower now while they are still a lil smaller till i can toss 2 or 3 males hopefully

I don't. I go right into it. 18/6 to 12/12. Lights on at 6am, off at 12 midnight, back on at 6am, off at 6pm. I do however, do the 48 hours of darkness at the end, just prior to harvest.

Of course, that's just me. I'm not saying that they are wrong by doing it their way. I haven't tried it. Haven't had a reason to
