    Can anyone please help diagnose this? PICS included.

    I think the problem is either nute burn, or light burning. I am using a 100W HPS with 23W cfls. The plant is about 2.5" from the cfls, and about 5" from the HPS. The nutes I used are just generic wal mart 20/20/20, and I used them in like 1/10 concentration as given by the box. Here are some...

    Acapulco Gold, CFL + HPS. Small/Novice grow

    Thanks, the SCroG sounds perfect. I bought some chicken wire, and have it ready. Unfortunately I feel like a noob again after clearly burning my plants. I hate seeing yellow spots, and the leaves on the warlock look all curled, not nice and flat (you can see it in the pics). Hate to see it. I...

    Acapulco Gold, CFL + HPS. Small/Novice grow

    Ahh, well I will be transplanting into 2.5 gallon pots next, so ill probablly let them get a foot before I flower. Just wondering what a good nutrient would be for this stage of veg, as in n-p-k ratio? Something I can buy at Walmart, Canadian tire, lowes etc...

    Acapulco Gold, CFL + HPS. Small/Novice grow

    I`m not exactly sure yet when I will start flowering. Any recomendations given the lights I listen in the OP? I was thinking to do a little LST, and flower at about 8-9" (bushy).

    Acapulco Gold, CFL + HPS. Small/Novice grow

    Thanks, I don't plan on vegging for too long, given my lighting. I plan on doing some research also to try and make my acapulco gold bud, actually gold. But this AG strain is ind/sat hybrid, even though real acapulco is 100% sativa apparently. So I'm not sure exactly what it is, but could be...

    Acapulco Gold, CFL + HPS. Small/Novice grow

    I turned on the 100W HPS, and have been keeping the fans on. The stems seem strong, but they just keep growing on an angle, not sure why. Hopefully the fan will fatten em up. The sprout in the back left seems healthy and looks like it is growing another leaf set, but for some reason its like...

    Acapulco Gold, CFL + HPS. Small/Novice grow

    Unfortunately my sensi star seed didn't sprout. I think I planted it too early, I should have let it germinate for longer. Lesson learned lol. But I now have 5 seedlings.

    Acapulco Gold, CFL + HPS. Small/Novice grow

    I decided to make this journal because this is my second grow, and I have very little experience/knowledge in growing cannabis. I'm hoping that as I post pictures of the growth, I can get some constructive feedback to improve my buds. Also, hoping to help out anyone in a similar position as me...

    ^^ I also used to feed my seedlings by allowing the soil to absorb the water from the bottom. I definately found it to be effective

    New noob grow in need of desperate helpp! Asap

    I cant remember what the soft white, cool white are again. But for a seedling, (and vegging), you want to use bulbs with 6500K. Once the plants get half the size you want it to be when you harvest, replace your 6500K CFLs with 2700K CFLs. And yes you can use CFLs through the entire grow. For...

    is the dea gona kick in my door

    Do what I did if you don't want them delivered to your house. Its pretty easy, just get a prepaid credit card, and a mailbox at your post office. You don't have to use your name for this.

    New noob grow in need of desperate helpp! Asap

    I think even 1 23W CFL should be fine. But because you are going on vacation for a week, you can't move the lights as your sprouts grow. You don't want stretching or burning, so I would go with 2, and keep them about 5"-6" above the soil.

    New noob grow in need of desperate helpp! Asap

    I use 23W, 6500k CFLs for seedlings. In your case, is what I would do is (if your seeds germinate in those 2 days), plant them in your medium, and put them under flouros. I would say 2-3 plants per light if you have 23W CFLs. They take a couple days to sprout, and don't need much water at this...

    Anyone besides me old enough to .........

    LOL yeah I remember hearing a pack of gum used to be 10 cents, and you got a hockey card with it. But a pack of gum now is 2.99, so you just better be grateful the price of bud hasn't inflated as much as everything else over the years. In terms of the purchasing power of a dollar, I'm guessing...

    My soil mix. Please help

    I'm a little strapped for cash, but I was thinking this could be an appropriate mix for a limited budget (very limited). A bag of potting soil, with neutral ph (or as close to neutral as they have). A bag of perlite And then I have a lot of tiny aquariam rocks, I was thinking about a 1" layer...

    How long until seeds sprout above soil?

    Ive had good luck with germinating when I let the taproot get to be just under 1" long. Once its that long I plant it (root down) about 1" under the soil. Seems to work well for me.

    Femmed seeds

    Last time a friend of mine gave me what he SAID was femminized, but when I went to flower it I got balls. But then I thought of its early vegging, and how because it was my first I put it under a lot of stress. I've tossed it outside, and those balls went away now though. Do you think if I just...
