wow ! where did that come from ? why are you burstin man ?, since ur mentioning that website, well I didnt buy from it coz i found the exact same lamp (150w/9000lm) that theyre selling for less than half the price, 44 try +shipping, i found it for a dazzling 23 try !! and thats at high street shop in nishantashi.

speaking of whinning thats what i perceived throughout ur message!

you say :"" Earlier You asked me how many grows I've had before. Because You simply wanted to refuse my help and u felt like u have ashamed me bad by asking that question. The real life is not like that.You should not rely on post counts ,when somebody tries to help You with Your questions. ""

yes i asked about how many grows u had under ur belt because i didnt wanna act prematurely based on 1 opinion, not because i "refused" ur help,i'm sure im not alone at this, why would i ? getting help is why i'm on RIU. now pls tell me where you got the funky idea that i felt i "had ashamed" you ?!!! why should you be "ashamed" ? thats me trying not being naive, u should be more confident in urself and realize the importance of not being reckless ! hence me asking you how many grows u had done instead of saying "ur posts show me you have 0 experience",this whole part about shame feels like coming out of the mouth of a 18 century samurai !

so again confidence and no whining !, that way you insure not making yourself look somehow pathetic. please dont spoil this thread with trully silly stuff like that coz all i'm doing is trying to grow a few healthy plants ! again, any help is really valued and considered, but wont be taken as orders that basic common sense!.

looks like she got a little hot from nutes. What soil are you useing? If home made soil maybe you should let it sit a little longer to cook. Be easy on the water and give her a chance to suck up the nutes out of the soil... waite a few weeks before you feed, just my 02 on it with out looking at ur whole set up

i havent nutted before just today a little bit from underneath, im actually super easy on the water 2 days ago I realized thats why they would always look tired.

here's my setup (a figure of speech in this case :mrgreen:)

That's pretty kool man ur doin all that in Istanbul, have you thought about checkin out orderin ur nutes and stuff online if ur having issues finding what u need where ur at, I like the fox farms products. Isn't Istanbul like the Hash capitol of the world? Hey don't end up like that dude in Midnight Express, remember you are a bad machine and I know cause I work at the factory making the machines so I know ur a bad machine!!!

thanks for passing by dutch, they grew a lil bit taller/faster too since i upgraded from 140w to 290w cfl's,
IMG_0807.jpgIMG_0808.jpg exactly 1 month since from germination today


i think i might've resolved the bottom leaves yellowing, after i bottom fed them, and trimmed the dead parts it didnt progapage much, i'm officially feeding them later today, i'm thinkin of doing that to hald of them to see how they react to my 8-7-7.



on another subject -extra resin production- Grampa
passed me this link for explaining why he finds that 48h of darkness prior to harvest increases resin secretion, tis a good read.

here's what i was thinking, i would start flowering on the 12th, i'll be stranplanting into their final pots 2/3 days before thats, i transplanted these girls a bunch of times and i think that i'm either a natural at that or that they can take it coz they dont get stunned when i do it.

thats good bro shud be about what 15-18in by then, its a bitch for me to transplant for some reason. i actually dropped my plant roots only and it smashed on the ground lol..if tht didnt stunt it then idk what would..still grew as fast as my others tho.

loool smashing plants root, thats a "once in a blue moon" kinda thing,

but i dont think that they'll be that long by then , perhaps once i get the hps which should be tomorrow, i'm still not decided between 400w or 600w cost and location are an issue,but not the power bill !

i just placed one of the plants in total darkness, to see for myself if darkness has its benefits, although here to i'm undecided between going for 4 or 6 hours

I'd go with the 600w man its not gunna be tht much more as far as cost..maybe a stronger fan but thts about it. i wudda if i cud get free shipping for some reason when i bought my light it was free shipping for the 400 and not the 600..im cheap lol

no the ballast im gonna buy doesnt have a fan. its the european model ballasts. so as you can see in the pic theyre box-less, they r divided to two parts the ballast (white part). and the (ignitor) black part400w-elt-balast-ispanyol.jpg

2 electric cables connect to the ignotor the black part, 1 goes to the wall and the other to the lamp fixture, i'm gonna be fixing them yself
