ok I am growing from locally sourced seeds that were from somebody's medical garden they missed a male so their mistake lead to an unknown male× what he was growing trainwreck,northern lights,sourdiesel. The biggest plant is like 3 days old the others are 1 and two days old and the 4th one still nothing but I just threw in another seed that Cracked today.

Hopefully one turns out to be a female! Usually after two different strained plants cross, the offspring show what's called "hybrid vigor", that's when you get the DANKEST nugs, depending on the parenting strains.

And I love seeing other 150w growers. Hope the best for Ya man!

yeah I used the same seeds for an outdoor grow got a good female then the grow was going great a nosey neighbor had to look over the fence so I pulled it up lol but I took clones off of both plants got a good male to then did a indoor breeding project under a t12 with a cfl side light on the female one but the seeds kinda moulded on me hopefully some will sprout that female had awesome genes and good vigorous growth and the male was nice to I will upload a pic of them when I get a chance.

I would upgrade your lighting..........low wattage hps(150w) are horribly inefficient with the added ballast draw, lm/w around the same as cfl's. spend a little more $$ and go for @ least a 250w kit.

good luck and be safe grower

ok here's an update my plants where mad about the temp drop had to turn down the main heating unit In the house to 66f because every time the temp drops below 32 outside it stops sucking air from the outside unit and it switches to the auxiliary heating unit which ran alot and made the power bill way high 500 hundred dollars. The plants are doing better now that I put a heater in my grow area a couple of the plants have beautiful fat fat leaves they are all doing good besides one that streched alot more than the rest have a good day every one. pic one is of all the plants pic two is of the streched plant with big fat leafs.

Ok here's an update I pulled the strechy plant so I'm down to 3 and I topped my tallest plant sex still unknown will probaly be switching to 12 on and off as soon as the oldest plant recovers from topping and I figure the other two should have plenty of time to catch up. Merry Christmas to everyone.

Nice plants, however I would get a higher wattage Lamp asap. You can get 400w systems really cheap now days. Check out my 5 small plants under a 400w MH Lamp 2 wks into 12/12 :bigjoint: : DSCN0870.JPG

DSCN0874.JPG Only about 13 days in. Every trained cola recovered well, and is now putting on the heat. Can't wait for those resinous calyxes :leaf::razz:

Thanks Shaggy! If I were running a 150w HPS this is what I would do: Get Feminized seeds (so you don't have to fuck around with males). You could plant 4 fem seeds, top them @ the 4th node and have yourself 32 prime colas that will turn into all bud. Make sure you concentrate the Light in a small space with reflective surfaces. I would go 18/6 from seed and veg until each plant has branches about 6-8" long. Flower, and feel free to add some CFL's if you can at this time. If not, it will still work fine- just make sure ALL the light reaches the plants. Cheers, and happy growing ! :leaf:

Sup Shaggy.. Jus was goin thru your thread and I also use a 150 watt but I mix it up with cfls.. I was gonna ask if your plants stretched? I def recommend using light that u can keep close to your babies without burning them to prevent stretching.. Cfls & Fluorescents work perfect for this.. Then soon as your ready for flower then use the 150 hps.. Have you figured out why your plants are wilting like that?
