So when you stating your journal? Link?
What setup have you decided to go with soil? Hydro? Lights?

Hmm I dunno, I figured we should prolly wait til we get a little more action? We decided to go with soil and make everything organic. Our light is a 400w HPS, but at the moment the seeds are germinating in peat pellets in a propogator getting lots of sun!

It's normal for the younger growth to appear a bit lighter in color than the older. Now she's in flower, make sure you don't stop your veg nutes - she's gonna do some major growth over the next two weeks, what we call The Stretch. After it's over you can cut your veg nutes back to half or quarter strength, depending on how well she takes her food.

Thats fantastic advice DoeEyed thank you.
I have swapped my bulb over to the other bulb I got with my light setup. It gives off an orange glow instead of the blue/white glow. Hopefully this should help with this new stage.

No you won't - trust me, you see some buds, next you'll be impatient to see thm fatten, then impatient to harvest, and finally impatient to dry so you can smoke 'em! lol
are you going to wait and cure it once it's dried? I'm thinking I might try with a bit.. But I can't see that happening haha

Yeh I think you could be right DoeEyed lol

LOL Riffix i'm going to cure it all, possibly keep a wee bit aside once it's dried to try of course. I don't see the point of taking all this time to germ,veg,flower and dry not to cure it and get the best results from her.
She is starting to smell good too, more weed smelling rather than just plant smelling and there still arent any buds on it yet, I have a feeling its gonny be really stinky.
I noticed in my pictures and when having a peek today that she is growing bigger on one side rather than the other so I turned my light round so that the socket end (which is growing more) is at the other side now so I get some even growth. I've also pulled the reflector out a little as the outer leaves weren't getting as much light as the inner ones which wasn't a problem at first as she was small but she has really filled out now and is taking up the whole cupboard.
Do you think that changing to the bulb from an HID to a HPS will make a big difference at this stage folks? or would it have just been as good with the HID?

Well considering its just for me I guess I will probably do the same. Cant see me forking out £45 for a 1/4 oz when I have green sitting there drying.

It's early, I'm confused, lol - an HID and an HPS are the same thing. HID covers all the high intensity lights, are you referring to the MH light maybe?
The HPS light puts out the light spectrum they like for flowering. But I have heard of people flowering with an MH lamp, haven't done it myself - so I couldn't say if it would be better.
