Yes, like soil. My advice would to be stop messing with the lights lol. If they've been on 12/12 and you've switched it back to 18/6, they're just going to try and start to veg again. Set them to 12/12 and just hope they flower...


yeah i'm done messing with the lighting now lol

do you think i should just let them continue vegging? then then when they are ready switch to 12/12?

umm i'm using half moisture control (miracle grow) and regular potting soil also miracle grow

How long have you had the lights on 18/6 for? I honestly don't think they will if they've been on 12/12 for 3 months lol. I don't know man, I don't really know what else to tell you. Other than miracle grow is no good, go get some fox farm and maybe just start some fresh?

You can use as many lights as you can fit it your growspace, the more the merrier, although you do have to consider heat build up, even cfls produce small amounts of heat, and several of them in a small space can raise the temps somewhat, you want to keep it below 90 really, I believe growth slows then and stops around 95 (obviously this is dependant on strain) also lows shouldn't be below 65. A thermometer might be worth buying if you suspect it may be getting near or past these values.
Miracle grow is a common bone of contention on this site, some swear by it, others swear about it, I have never used it myself, but a friend once grew a plant to over 7' tall outdoors using garden soil and miracle grow, it yielded around 8oz as i recall, but even flushing with water for 3 weeks before harvest, and after curing it for a month it still tasted like shit, REALLY harsh with a mild body high. Grew 12 clones from that plant, taken very early in flower (as soon as she showed her sex) indoors hydroponically, finished 2 weeks later than its mother, and was an amazing smoke with a bit of an uppity high, then a real couchlock if you smoked more than a couple of grams in an hour!
Sorry I do ramble on a bit when I'm baked... 5 points if you can spot a point in that /\

yeah i was planning on getting a thermometer i have a humidity % thing in there as well but it feels around 75 in there and i have my room heater turned up to 76
and since i changed the light cycle from 24/0 then in that same day 18/6 it seems to have helped my back plant a hell of a lot the nodes are growing better now (like all of them almost grew a bit since i fell asleep towhen i woke up) you said flush it 3 weeks before harvesting? wouldn't that over water them resulting in death?
that's sweet i was hoping to buy the cloning solution at walmart or wherever but i was wondering can i clone for cheaper? like can i just cut it straight off then plant it and have it grow it's own rooting system or is this a waste of time to just put it in straight soil first? i don't see why it wouldn't work cuz the plants are growing roots in soil why shouldn't a clone but yeah idk if i should waste money and do that or just cut and bury? and dude no worries rambling is completely fine. cuz i do it too (stoned or not) lol it sucks
i don't like harsh but i need something to make me cough i can hold hits rather well so maybe harsh would be good? (if ya don't cough ya don't get off) =]]]]




and does anyone know why the; closer plant, stem isn't producing a smell? (the back one is doing just fine)

my littlest tyke is growing a little bit aswell as i've seen

and cali i do care very much about my plants it's just i'm on a very tight budget and is sucks cuz i can't spend all the money i want if i could i would and wouldn't be living here haha but i do take growing this shit very serious.
Yeah I totally see where you're coming from ;-) I really think cfl's could grow just as well as a bigger, more expensive light, provided you have enough of them, and of course they're more efficient so I'm sure they will treat you very well! once again good luck! Also if you felt like selling some of your stash you could invest in your grow even more if you felt the need to (maybe not)

Oh and good luck with your new seeds! :D

And I forgot to mention that if you felt like it you might as well just try cloning by putting them in soil, only thing i can tell you is just take extreme care when cutting the clones, put em right in the soil and ALSO you should look up some homemade fertilizers, etc, you can probably find lots of good cheap natural things that may promote rooting!

yeah thanks very much cali
and i will get more CFL's next check and i might but it's just more risk of getting caught and i'm not really up for that risk and soon when the work i'm doing now pays off i will be making more money (becoming an electrician but i don't think anyone cares what i do with my life hahaha) and yeah i just wasn't to sure on if i could just put them in the soil

can someone tell me how to cut it so i don't fuck it up do i cut 45 degree angle like any other plant? or does it make any difference?

I care! I'm studying to be an electrian too that's awesome. And yes, cut at a 45 degree angle.

Man I wish I could get into that shit. Where do you live? I've been trying to get an apprecticeship for the past two years. I've already taken all the classes available lol.

to be honest i don't feel comfortable saying where i'm from not on a site like this lol just safety issues i have and how have you not become an electrician or apprenticeship yet? that would piss me off if i took all the classes and didn't get to be an apprentice but i wish the best of luck to you and becoming one they make great money

Thanks man. Yeah I didn't mean like your exact location lol just like what state. I've applied for several different apprenticeship programs and have yet to be accepted. All the classes I took were at the local community college so I don't know how much that helps my chances. Anyways I've still learned a lot and am definetly set on wanting to do this for a living. Good luck to you as well!

Oh I know, I heard about that. That's funny though, all my relatives live in Utah lol. Except my uncle who lives in Colorado. I was actually considering moving there since some electrician told him that he was looking for people to hire. Apparantly there is a high demand for them there lol.
