right right..i just cant feel comfortable with HPS's because of temperature issues where its at already. eh, i might try tho just for fun, even if i get an ounce from each plant (i only grow 4 at a time) thats right at where i want to be, roughly, since im only growing for personal use. but thanks! best of luck in future grows!

i let the fear of heat issues stop me using hps, really isnt as bad as people make out, i bought a 250 hps, after a few weeks i bought a 400, 11 months later ive got a 600, no heat issues even in summer and in winter it heats my room.

A plant veg'd for less than a month is really not a mature marijuana plant.
Since it's not truly mature, it will not be able to give you it's "all".
That includes showing you the best AND worst of it's genetic make-up, including potency.
Plants that are allowed to veg to maturity will show their sex, usually between weeks 6 and 8, WITHOUT the induction of 12/12 aka bloom.
That includes clones from "young" plants and "mature" plants.

I guarantee any grower that if they sprout seeds from a STABLE line.
Veg half for 4 weeks and the other half for 8 weeks.
You will see, smell and taste something totally different.
Also, if room is a prob then trim the longer vegging plants as needed.

hi flo, quick question, when you said " show their sex, usually between weeks 6 and 8, WITHOUT the induction of 12/12 aka bloom"

please explain this further to me, i always thought that wasn't true merely based upon keeping mother plants and they never flower.

Peace.

No prob FM.
A MJ plant showing sex at maturity is not the same as a MJ plant in bloom.
You can keep a Mom in the veg state as long as you want, with her showing pistils indicating she's a female, yet she's not in bloom until 12/12 is started.
You can do the same with a male plant, though more risky, which is why some breeders just clone their males over and over too.
A female from a good, stable strain can pretty much veg indefinitely on 18/6.
A male on 18/6 for too long will give up some stray pollen, and especially with less light (17/7 ; 16/8 ; 15/9 ; etc..) and may actually bloom b/c IMO they are more sensitive to ligt changes since they have to be able to pollinate early enough for the female to have enough time to make viable seeds.
MOST male strains show 1st under optimal conditions b/c they have to mature and do their job 1st (make & give viable pollen), so the female can then do her job afterwards (make & give viable seeds).
One such strain that is notorious for males showing sex 1st, IN VEG, is Cinderella 99 !!

For those that don't know, you can grab a good clone or two during weeks 2 - 4 from seed, when growing 12/12 from seed.
