    Some Advice Please

    Dude seriously chill out we already gave you this information! I told you the main growth tip won't come back! That means it will dry and die. In its place two new growths will grow from the two nodes closest to the broken stem.

    First timer-looking for any advice(pics)

    CFL's are compact flourescent bulbs they are cheap to buy and put out more lumens than conventional floros. And the plants grow alot better. If you spent 10 or 15 dollars you would have plenty of cfl's for a cheap grow. Using 24 hr light can give you more males than you will like. Use 18/6 for...

    Some Advice Please

    You will now get two growth spots which will grow two shorter colas then if you had one growth tip growing a giant cola. Don't worry about it man. Many people do this on purpose, it's called topping your plant.

    Some Advice Please

    The top of your plant will now have two growth tips but they will not grow as high. Instead you will get two shorter colas instead of one large main one.

    Welcome your opinions on this what you think?

    Ah, sorry about that no wonder I was so confused. I understand a little better now. I'm still not so sure that 6/12 would be a good flowering schedule tho. I'd love to see someone try this. It would take a lot of work without having an 18hr timer. If you do this please let me know how things...

    first grow .. i gonna need you guys

    Yeah man the only thing I can say is get rid of the trash bags. Either paint the walls flat white or get yourself some mylar. Both are cheap. No tin foil either unless you want your plants burned later on.

    Some Advice Please

    Clone the top that fell off. Your plant lost its main growth tip, however the rest of the plant will begin growing bigger to replace it.

    Light Question

    More cfl's will definately benefit you however. Buy a couple 125w cfl's to add to what you have and you should be set for awhile ...

    Light Question

    CFL's are fine for first timers. Some people like myself have tried other lighting and prefer to grow with cfl's. Droopy leaves may be a watering problem. And if you are talking about the little round leaves, they are the seed meat and they are supposed to die off within the first week or two of...

    How soon can you nute?

    You can begin feeding around 3 weeks or when the plant hits its 4-5th node. Don't start feeding full strength either.

    Cloning Question

    Are you taking clones from a flowering mother? You probably shouldn't do that as all the plants could end up stressed and/or hermie. Clones don't need alot of light because you are trying to get them to take root not create more leaves. Personaly I would get some floro's or cfl's to clone with.

    Are these babys ready to be cut?

    I would probably wait it out at least two weeks from the way those buds look. Those are beautiful plants too by the way, Congrats!

    Unknown seed???

    If they came with no name, then you have about a 1% chance of proving what strain they are. I wouldn't worry about it. And like user-friendly said: a name won't get you high!

    Im a beginner

    Try to use a different soil type other than Miracle Grow. Most of their soils have time-release ferts in them that can hurt your young seedlings. Not to be rude but you can't get anything out of that book that you can't find here. Plus other people's opinions are always helpful. What happens...

    Yikes! Just transplanted Helpp! Pics

    Thats what I had thought too. Halogen bulbs seem like they would burn the shit out of plants while not giving them the light they need.

    Transplated Plant

    Growing from bagseed you probably have about a 1% chance of finding out what strain you have. You will be able to tell whether its a sativa or indica, and depending on certain characteristics of the plant possibly even what family it is in. The problem is that there are so many different strains...

    leaves sticking straight up

    You won't need nutes for at least another week or two at the earliest. I wouldn't give them food til they are about 3 weeks old or working on their fifth nodes. Just my opinion.

    Welcome your opinions on this what you think?

    No, they have to have twelve hours of darkness to convince them to flower, just like in nature. Am I wrong? If it works then I'll give you rep++ lol I just don't think its possibility to flower under those hours. Definately might be on to something for vegging, I'll have to look into it. But as...
