The seeds your mate gave you must have been from an auto flowering strain. Lowryder or something.

I have ordered a 400W HPS system with a Growlush lamp, puts out around 65,000lm. I know alot of people use the HPS for the flowering stage but would it be beneficial in the growing stage? I already have 2 CFL's on it already (1x48w 5000k and 1x48w 3000k) and is growing great, would the HPS be a waste of power in the normal growing stage? Or am i better off saving it for flower time?

looks like your getting into growing now,
got the bug.
your plant,looks fine, and it will love the 400hps, are you going to be growing more, you can grow 4 to 6 plants , under the 400hps, good luck, anymore picsof the plant, hope you didnt send it hermie, when it was in flower, when it was so little, due to bad lighting sceds. good luck.

Yeah i got the bug bad, the wife has a laugh every time i come home with a new globe, or when im in the shed trying to improve the setup, but she comes out side every day just to see how its growing..
God i hope its not hermi, if not its ok, i just want to see a nice budded plant. And from what i read a hermi is a female plant that will produce seeds? is this correct?
I plan to continue to grow more, i went out and got some clone juice the other day, but it will be a waste of time if its hermi..

A hermie is a plant that has both male and female flowers on it. Which ends up seeding itself. LIKE CRAZY! The 400w HPS will be great for both stages of growth man.

dont clone it just in case its a hermie, cos the clones will be too.
just do what you did with the last plant with another then take clones from that.
when doing 18/6.24/0 and 12/12 you must keep to the times, or the plant will stress and go hermie, and if you dont keep your plants in compleat darkness in there dark period, they also mite go hermie.
im just tellingyou this, cos when i started growing 10 months ago, i was growing a hermie took clones and all my plants were hermie, and hermies send other females hermie.
and hermie steel all the bud, by making seeds, plus they take longer.and they give you headace, if you smoke the unformed seeds by acc.
it took me ages to get rid of all the old plants,cos its hard to throw them away, when you have put so much time into them. good luck.

A Plant Will Usually Show Its Sex By The 2nd-3rd Week After Being Placed On 12/12. Sometimes Its Quicker, Sometimes Its Longer.

Ill post some pics of Friday but my plant's fan leaves are way to big and many that they are blocking any light to my branches coming off the main stem, they are that big that they are blocking any growth path, would it be ok to trim a few fan leaves to allow the branches some light and free them up a bit?

Well im over the moon, she has shown that's that she is really a girl.. i got a 400HPS over her now for the last 5 days and she has got the little white hairs coming out 
so happy. ive cut the light to 12/12 and she looks great, and the growth rate with a hps compared to 3 (48w) CFL. in the last 5 or so days she has grown over 2 inches i recon... ive tied down some branches to get the light right in there and its going well...
Check the picks

Does anyone think the flowers are a bit small for 2 1/2 weeks flowering?
I had a bit of a problem, the older leaves started to turn yellow, I cut them off and more yellow leaves turned yellow...
had a search around and I could only guess that it was a N deficiency or my roots were root bound...
I did change my nutes from grow to bloom, I think I might have changed it a bit to early, my flower nute was 5.15.10 and my grow was 25.5.10. Ive read of here somewhere that early in the flower stage plants still need that high N to develop. So I think that my low N flower nute might have been the problem. So ive change to a nute of 20.15.10..
Also my plant might of been a bit root bound, I did a transplant the day, you might get a laugh out of it, I think I went a bit to over board wit the size of the pot, but she was really root bound in the old pot, this time she has plenty of space to grow..
Anyway I hope this will fix the yellow problem, I understand that the leaves go yellow at the final stage of flowering but its only early
Does anyone have any input to this?
