hi peeps...so how many lumens per foot are you all running?
5333 Lumens per foot for me. 150 HPS 16x22" cab. The 2 far left plants arent 12/12 from seed but the others are. The party cup is my male I want to seed the others with. Ive been enjoying this thread and thought Id join in! Around day 28 for everyone, the platinum OG clones were bought the same day the others broke ground. I use 50% $5 walmart soil, 25% perlite, 25% sphagnum moss with 1TBSP of bone and blood meal in each 1 gal pot. Pure blend grow for a couple weeks and FF big bloom the rest. I dont think they need much nutes with the mix Im using especially in the beginning so I go light on the nutes. Also a drop of superthrive once a week or so. I've done many grows in my life and have never once had a burn issue, it makes me wonder how people can fuck them up so much lol. Sure I dont push the envelope of how much I can cram into the plants, but I keep it pretty simple and Im happy with it.

Pulled my girl out for some close ups. Got some really good ones of her buds. She is getting more and more frosty by the day. Check her out and check out my little plant. The leaves are growing really funny compared to what i've seen on here. It is also about 26 days old, should it be bigger by now? It has 4 26watt CFLs on it, it is growing in a 50/50 mix MG organic and promix soil. I only have one grow space right now so it is on 12/12 like my other plant. If that is the reason for the slower growth i can live with that. Give me some feedback.

Both of these plants are 12/12 from seed. the bigger one is top44 skunk, it is day 34 flower. The little one is California Orange.

Dill: 10 seeds for 30 bucks? that great! i'm looking at attitude for tomorrow. They have a crazy sell going on. I want some Pineapple express, just to say i had some. I'm getting some carmel Ice, then i get 7 free fem seeds for free. All seven are good seeds i can't call them all out but they are good.

Your small plants absolutely have something wrong with them. Roll back a few posts to my pics, those are 28 days from seed, and have also had their fan leaves removed.

total or actual including distance drop off ?
;)

I think I hurt my brain the other day trying to work out fan requirements for a specific room, I don't know why, it's very simple... but I think I tend to over complicate things when I'm stoned.. lol

Im running about 12,500 lumen per square foot.. Total. I think haha
thats about the same as me mate............i think...well sometimes i think but mostly i dont.

I'm sure this has already been asked, but what do you guys do for nutes when you 12/12 from seed? Do you start at a 1/4 strength and then do you use the same nutes you would for flowering a plant that's been on 18/6 for a few weeks?

I usually give a feeding of grow nutes, maybe 2 and on to the bloom nutes... but, yea introduce a little and go from there, always better to underfeed than overfeed, waaayy better

I may try a test on one of my next plants to feed it nothing other than the bone and blood meal I add to the soil.

Yea I ordered them from everyonedoesit.com I have no idea if this is a reputable site, but if turns out I just got scammed 30$ then ahh well at least it didnt break the bank. I dont know how they send them, If its by air then hopefully they can manage the -50 degrees celcius air up at 10000 feet altitude. If they arrive and germinate and all that good stuff then its 30$ well spent

Supchaka: yeah I saw your plants and many other on here that kick my plants little ass. I think it's PH, so I will try and fix that and see if it helps.

I have been reading thru this thread for almost 2 months off and on now. I still haven't read the whole thing. I would say this is this best 12/12 out there. This is my first run with 12/12 from seed, and my first indoor grow. I have grown outside for a few years and have only ran into hermies one season. My question is... (((Have any of you had all hermies with a certain strain?))) I have (4) 12/12 from seed at 32 days old under a 400 watt hps. The flowers look kind of funny compared to my other ones that I vegged for 2 weeks and today I picked off a preflower because it looked swollen. It had a premature bean in it. Not sure if they are hermie or maybe some of the males that I killed maybe dropped a little pollen. I killed them as soon as I seen preflowers. I don't see any pollen sacks on the females that I can tell for sure.

I have decided to only ever buy regular seeds for fear of all these hermies everyone is talking about. Hopefully it was just some stray pollen
