... I don't know where you live but cultivation is a felony here. I couldn't imagine catching a case for some schwag seedlings drenched in miracle grow in a Dixie cup on my window sill, with a soft white desk lamp for "supplemental lighting" ugh...

So... You couldn't read the terms of service for the site, but we're all supposed to read your "rant?"


Better luck next time -- if you aren't growing fem'd seeds, you'll actually need to pop a few, to weed out the males. Whether you pull 'em out of some bagseed or order from any seedbank. Remember, genetic lotto is 50/50 on those bad boys. And, don't get discouraged with the guys telling you to piss off. You can grow sticky, gooey dense bud with CFL, but, don't expect it on your first (or 2nd, 3rd... well, until you're very experienced.) Like Giggles said, there are quite a few of us that grow CFL, and aren't growing popcorn buds...

EDIT:

here are some examples of a couple plants, 3 weeks from first hair, in a 12/12 perpetual indoor garden (i.e. not individual pots, but actual large grow bins -- think indoor sandbox) NOTE, although the pheno's purple, there also was a potassium deficiency these are both shots from the same plant, it's 14" tall, lolipopped the bottom 4 inches.
