hmmm yeah.. I agree. definately a while off yet. just please dont get overzealous. wait until the hairs are light brown.

And then there was one... Ok, the other Indica girl seems to be a male. so i've put the leaf litter aside for making some oil out of later. Here she is, the healthiest of the bunch and she turned female, i'm quite happy. The buds seem to be developing slowly but there are 3 bud sites per tier...

Yeah, here it is. I will answer any questions you may have just ask away.

Hmm... Your LED's really dont look too bright at all. mine light up the camera massively. Do you have a high quality camera with good filtering? Fantastic grow :)

Your lack of punctuation makes this too hard to read for me. I guess what you are saying is; You want a whole pant pregrown? :S Out of sheer curiosity, how old are you? - Slix

Ok, The indica dominant is definately female with bud sites at a few internodes. The sativa dominant is possibly male with balls forming. The bud/ball sites seem a tad smaller than usual plants I assume this is due to the LEDs. Heres somes pics. So far so good. I will cull the male in the...

Still no signs of flowering :\ I am thinking of switching off the 465nm Blue LEDs. I am aware 660nm Reds are good for flowering and when looking at the graph below I plan on targeting Chlorophyll A more and Clhorophyll B less. What do you guys think? Would switching off 1 spectrum of my blues...

Ok, 4 days into flowering now, still no sign of any flowers. Perhaps I need the addition of some white LEDs. But plants look very healthy.

Try turning both of the CFLs to face downwards. You dont seem to have a relfector.

here, here!

I see alot marketing hype on that site. but yeah sure give it a try. I made my own light and and used a mix of red and blue spectrums. they only seem to be using 2. they will work, but flowering might be interesting. - Slix

Ok, Due to my circumstances i've had to induce flowering this morning. My usual light cycle has been 1am to 10pm (21 hours) I have just adjusted the light cycle from 7am to 7pm. (I have to do this!) Will this change cause problems? They would have had 6 hours this morning from 1am till 7am...

mmm.. good to see. I saw another post, LED vs HPS. LEDs had much more crystal. My girls are going well, day 22 now. I had a light issue today, I had to rewire the 450nm blues. I will begin flowering on thursday. 12/12 with no mod to the lights. I will leave all spectrums switched on throughout...

Ok latest update after 21 days under lights. Total power consumption thus far is 59.7 kWH. I will be switching the girls this thursday to flower mode. fingers crossed they all turn female :) The one at the right side has been pruned to expose her lower branches, 4 in total. - Slix

Ok, Day 15 under lights. The girls seem to be widening but seem to be quite short and stubby, if this persists for another week I will switch off the 660nm Red LEDs. Here is an update: The bigger girl looks sativa dominant with longer pointier leaves. the other 2 look quite indica with wider...

I have built my own home made light, second time grower, find my thread too lazy to post the link if your interested i'm also willing to answer anyones questions on building their own LED light. - Slix

Ok, Heres an update. So far we are still in veg, not alot of verticle growth but she is splitting off into 2 branches. 37.7 kwh hours used so far since 6th June @ avg 144.7 watts. The girls are starting to smell a little, unsure if its a good smell or not (might be chemicals) they smell...

Thanks Hobbes, They seem really dense for me to lop the tip off and they are just forming their 3rd tier of 5 prong leaves. (6 fan leaves in total) I have decided to wait until I actually turn them and see if they come out female or not. (I'm feeling lucky) :P I have watered today without...

Ok, I'm thinking about sexing the girls by dropping to 12/12 hours. They are still quite small but I dont want to waste my time in the long run. How long roughly after 12/12 will i notice the "balls"?

Basically, when you run voltage through an LED, say 9V. if the LED has a forward voltage drop of 3.2V then the voltage on the other side of the LED will be 5.8V because the LED "eats" that amount of voltage. when running heaps in series then, say: 6 x 3.2V blue LEDS, You couldnt possibly use a...
