You can grow decent bud with 280 watts of CFL. A HPS penetrates deeper than CFL's, so based on that I have to assume that you don't want to grow tall plants with CFL's. I would use the advanced search function. It helps a ton and I always use it when I need questions answered. I only have 2...

With 16oz cups I would say between weeks 2-4. I also use 16oz beer cups to start my plants and like to let mine go more towards 3-4 weeks before I transplant them. I use the clear cups because I can see when the roots engulf the outside of the cup.

If you are growing in fox farms soil, you want to be careful about feeding too early because you can burn the plants. Happy Frog has enough nutrients for 2-3 weeks. Ocean Forest about 4-5 weeks. Not sure what you are using, so just a heads up.

It's natural because the seed case was covering that part of the leaf. Just give it a few days and if it continues to grow, you should have no problems.

It depends on what light you decide to use and what your closet grow dimensions are. For lower wattage lights (250w or less), in my opinion, it's better to keep the plants below 4 feet when all is said and done. You may want to consider having 2-4 plants and keeping them shorter instead of just...

You won't get 300 grams off of 1 plant. The breeders typically exaggerate when it comes to their yields. You don't know what type of lighting they use to come up with those numbers either. I'll give you an example though. I am going to be growing some CH9 Jack and on their website their yield...

They should get used to whatever light schedule you put them on after a few days. Don't quote me on this though. I've only grown autos thus far. Will be growing normal strains next.

You can flower the plants at any time. The general rule of thumb is that when you throw an indica into flower, it will double in height or a little more. Sativas will triple in height. So a 12" plant thrown into flower will be around 24" (indica) and 36" or taller (sativa). Of course height...

Let's just say that it's much better to have low humidity than high humidity. With high humidity, you are more prone to getting fungus and mold. To be honest, after my first grow I ignored the humidity since both of my gauges broke. I didn't have any problems during veg or flower or harvest. I...

I am definitely interested in following your grow. I'll be using a 150w HPS for my 3rd grow and don't plan on adding any CFL's. First 2 grows were with a 400w MH/HPS. So I have some learning to do. Definitely going to LST to maximize yield. Anyways, I'll be subscribing to this thread! Best of luck.

Good for 2x2 area. You could probably squeeze 4 autos max. 2-3 would be ideal though.

I feel ya. I'm going to be running a 150w HPS and I expect my electricity to be at about $15 per month running it on an 18/6 light schedule. (Got a catalog from my local hydroponic store that had all the conversions for lights as low as 96w all the way to 1,000w.) And if your parents are...

First let me say that there is not one right way to grow. Second, the possibilities are endless. Everyone has different methods and techniques. My advice to you is to browse around more and look at other people's grows and then make a blueprint for yours. That's what I did when I got into this...

I got into this hobby not too long ago and only have 2 grows under my belt, and I would recommend following the go big or go home approach especially if you have the $$$$. I started out with one of the smallest tents at 1.9'x1.9'x3.9' with a 400w HPS. After my first grow and having to deal with...

For 4 plants, I would go with a 400w HPS with a hortilux bulb (adds 30% more blue violet spectrum than standard HPS bulbs). It really depends on what kind of grow space you will be working with. Can you efficiently keep the temperatures in the recommended range? I ran a 400w MH/HPS with...

Majek, plants are coming together nicely. What kind of water do you use? Edit: And Epsom salt replaces the need to use Cal-Mag correct? I'm running FF nutrients, which are all low in magnesium. I use tap water and Botanicare Cal-Mag, but I've read that Cal-Mag is mostly for RO water.

I would recommend you grow out some bagseeds first if you have some. If not, then I would go with a regular strain and not autos. The first time I grew, I went with autos and ended up with stunted plants due to mistakes. With regular strains, you can veg them to the size you want. Autos flower...

Some Medical Marijuana Dispensaries if your state has them and you have a card. Otherwise, just order them from Europe. It's safe and legit. Government has better things to do besides bust a personal grow operation.

I'll post my method which has worked for all the seeds I've germinated. I take 1 paper towel sheet and rip it in half. I then take each half and fold both into smaller identical pieces. Piece 1 acts as the bottom and piece 2, the top. I wet both pieces of paper towel making sure they're not...

I would say it's most likely a Nitrogen deficiency or they aren't receiving enough light
