Nice going Ace...I'll be happy if I got 5 ounces from my 2 plants, and they have 120w CFL on top of the 250!!

I always take twice the number of clones, I need, with the intention of throwing away the weaker ones...but it rarely happens. At one time I had 3 or 4 CFL flower rooms going at once!! I have finally come to terms with throwing plants away, just keep telling myself clones cost nothing :)

update on the last B52 that had 'balls'.

I let it go 2 days longer that I let and other 'balls' go previously and guess what happened.

They wern't fucking balls!

It exploded in a mass of 10-20 pistils, so I killed my other plants for fucking nothing!

I did exactly the same, well I think that I mistook some initial budding as small balls and threw a lot of plants away. It's a shame, but juts think how pissed off you would have been if they had been balls and pollenated all your other plants. Tough luck man, but better safe then sorry :)

NEEM oil is an oil soap type insecticide. It is supposed to be effective on several pests that we encounter in our efforts. I sprayed several weeks ago with it and haven't seen one critter until today. I am going to take Kidney Stone 420 advise and water with a NEEM mixture next watering. I bought mine at Lowe's. A pint of concentrate was about 6$ and change, I think.

2 TBS per gallon. But only use it once a week. I didn't even use it for the whole watering when i was using it. I more or less used it as a top dressing on the soil, the gnats nest 1-2" deep in the soil. No need to water the entire pot with neem.

This one looked like the others in my tentDSCF0738.jpgDSCF0739.jpg, just a little behind in developing, until....this morning if found this....see attachment

I am not taking any chances. I had a bad experience last year "waiting to make sure". If it looks like balls, it getting the AXE!

I just started my next grow and I'd like to hear some opinions from my fellow 250watters. I planted the seeds on the 12th and now I have 14 little seedlings in about 3/4 gallon pots that they are staying in until finish. Most are perlite/verm mix and some are coco. I'm growing hempy style using dyna grow line nutes. Right now the plants only have their single blade leaves, and the next set is forming. They are currently under lots of cfls. I'm just wondering when you would switch to the 250 MH? Also, right now my plan is to top the plants at the 3rd node, and top the top shoots again as they grow in and strip the rest of the plant. Like main-lining but only to four tops. This should take a little over three weeks then I plan to flip the lights to flower. My original plan was 12/12 from seed. What would you do? Like I said I just want to hear some other grower's opinions. It helps me think things through. Lights right now are 18/6.

Take a closer look at your B52 and make sure it isn't a hermie. I feel very certain that the picture you posted a few days ago was of a male pollen sac. I've had hermies that I allowed to flower through, and I noticed that the pollen sacs and the pistils will form on the same node. The buds I harvest had pollen sacs mixed in them everywhere. When the pistils form they hide the pollen sacs and you don't notice them until you spot the yellow powder on your leaves.

thanks man. i was worried at first because they yellowed slightly but someone told me as long as they arent slimy at all its probably just the nutrients dying them. i would just like to add i havent ph'd anything. i know most people recommend it but my tap water comes out about 6.2 and the GH flora micro hardwater buffers its right down to the right level. saved me about £50 on a decent ph pen lol
