Hey all, well I'm a first timer when it comes how to grow indoors. out of the 25 bagseeds that i started out with. Now only 5 of them turned out females. I have had them for about 2 months now or so and have kept them on 12/12 to sex them for the past 2 weeks. I use a 400w light. for my starts i used to 2 long ballasts with 2/40 w plant grow lights in each. I also have 2 250w lights & 1 400watt currently not being used. Thats all i can think of right now. please leave me some pointers and comments. Thanks.

400watt Light-

Well the only nute's i've used are just what are in the soil and some filterd fish soil from the bottom of a hatchery. The temp is 77-82 and i have the light from smallest plant at 27''

Using the balaste's for starts.. heres a picure.

Only type of ventalition I have to recycle air.

There's only one plant in the cfl box with those lights.

Click to expand...

well....

thats how we all learn...

you learn from research and from seeing it up close and personal...

then you get your technique down after some practice....

Think it will burn them? i put my hand under it doesnt get very hot on my palm.

Top View looking down at Plants.

400wattMH Light W/ Reflector 12Inch's away from closest plant.

Another shot; as you noticed bowed them down with fishing line to hopefully get thicker/bushier leaves.

any advice is welcomed.

hey man... what about using the SCROG method.... when you use a screen below the lights... so the leaves can't pass the screen and get burned, and the leaves make a canopy....
