UPDATE: they are doing great hopeing for females, im starting a new seed on 12/12 since i just switch the times and since its my first time and its all bag seeds witch i have been collecting for a long time so i have a lot for trial bases, and just to experiment with till i have a better place to grow,
big plant= is over a month old forgot exact date lets just say she is a month and one week. started 12/12 today.
2ndplant= is 18 days old and also will be going into 12/12 due to lack of another grow box and im doing this just incase big one turns out male,
new seed. germinated and planted lastnight also, and will also start on 12/12
i used 2 cameras becuz the first cam made the plant look realy yello witch she is not so enjoy.

i have 2 girls in total both bag seed one from regs (seedling) one from some chemdawg (supposedly) indica dominant chrinic. huge broad dark leaves. i tried to lst it but i topped it in the same time and didnt want to stress it out too much. im lsting the seedling though! i might buy a 400watt hps this week and flower with that for the rest of the time.

from what ive heard man its not worth it lumen vs energy consumption wise. ive heard the most difinitive move you can make towards better lighting is 250watt or higher rather than cfls. but hey who knows. do what you think is best. the 400watt im getting is freakin 120 bucks man ....cant go wrong there. htg supply bro.

Ive seen CFLs do the job and that they will, but the amount of light to the amount of heat sucks, i think its there spiral desgin makes for alot of light hiting light wich makes lots of heat.
OH also look into T5s, its what im useing now and so far there makeing my buds plump, not as dense as id hope but not bad at all.

ok so i learned that 400watts is gonna be way too hot for the amount of space i have so i got a 150 coming instead. stoked to see how fast this baby grows.


good luck bro

Having it dark during the time it is supposed to be light is much better than it being light when it is supposed to be dark. So don't change their schedule just give them 5 hours of light and go back to 12/12.

i think i got a ph issue. too high prolly. im gonna start watering with a drop of vinegar lol.
shes healthy and smelly she woke up at 7 am today to start day 4!
my other baby is being lsted and it looks 3 inches tall and has 2 sets of fan leaves.

my 150 hps with ballast reflector and bulb was 89 dollars from htg supply
i have no idea about cool tubes i plan to build an open top grow box so i dont have to worry about the heat too much.
