    Anyone ever try 9/3 veg, 6/6 flower???

    I'm not sure if that's enough time for the chemical reactions to peak. I am sure that you could probably produce something, but it would probably be gangly and disappointing.

    Is this plant a male? Or too early to tell?

    That flowchart rocks. Thanks.

    did it herm on me?

    Yeah dude, don't waste it.

    Are these males???

    Well that gives me enough to feed my denial, and keep some optimism. I'll still vigilantly monitor. Hell, watching plants grow is right up there with fish tanks, I can stare at one all day.

    Are these males???

    When I was violently and angrily destroying the plant in an act of revenge for the deception it played on me all of these weeks, I did notice 2 tiny ones which had white pedals. None of the rest of my plants are showing any pistols, but I guess time will tell if my baby girls got knocked up.

    Are these males???

    Do you think that plant was (dead/in trash) old enough to pollinate? It was in the center of the tray and rubbed every other plant on the way out and was touching the other 4.

    Are these males???

    Thanks. I yank with a tear in my eye.

    Are these males???

    Hello, I am not sure if what I see here are male pre-flowers or not. Any input would be appreciated. Each is a pic from a different plant.

    My second grow (first grow in my new setup)

    Oh, well there are little desk-style fans running constantly, and vent holes on the bottom. The only fan on the thermo is the exhaust. I'll get a pic after while. In the meantime, here is a quick update :)

    Stoner Moment

    I dropped my pH meter in my 40gal res.... :-( Needless to say, it no longer functions. I have to say, the liquid pH test solution is a pain in the ass compared to the ease of the digital meter. I was wondering, though... I always had a hard time trusting the readings since the nutrient solution...

    Ready to flower?

    Selfish bump in hopes of getting input on whether or not I should go another week or not... Do you think my room is big enough for another week of veg?

    How much area for each plant?

    Think of it like this, whatever pot you are using: You want 1-1.5 ft between base stems. 5 gal buckets could be pretty close, but I would give them about 4-6" in between.

    Flowering?

    You can usually see pre-flowers within a day or two, at least enough to sex the plants.

    How much area for each plant?

    I give mine about 1.5sqft per plant, but you can build your grow around the amount of space.... They tend to grow into each other a bit, but as long as it wont restrict airflow, and you dont need to move them too much, you could get away with having your pots right up against each other (1 sq ft)

    Ready to flower?

    I stand corrected. I checked my log, and it seems I topped them 10/21 (2 weeks ago).... So, it would seem based on your advice that they are recovered, or should be. If you don't mind, check out my setup (link in signature) and tell me if you think I have enough room to let them go another week...

    Ready to flower?

    Greetings, These 5 beauties were germinated from seed, and spent their first couple of weeks of life in my prop tray under CFL/T5 lights. As of today, they are only 3 weeks into their veg cycle. I topped them about a week ago, and they responded very rapidly. I was wondering, do they look...

    My second grow (first grow in my new setup)

    My temp is only 75-80 at plant level. My fan is on a thermostat. As far as watering frequency, if I water them less, they won't be happy. Hydroton doesn't hold water like rockwool. I'm curious why you think watering every 3 hours is a lot, but you think I should water every 1/2hr??? And the...

    My second grow (first grow in my new setup)

    Just wanted to drop a quick 2 week update. I've already posted these vids elswhere in the forums, but I wanted to also put the here for consolidation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJtWJJBNqH0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFKWAmWie34

    Can HPS lights make plants appear to be yellow?

    It's a good thing... It means your plants have a hearty appetite. The ones directly under the light are growing faster, so they are probably producing chlorophyll slower than plant matter even more so than the rest. I am GUESSING you could afford to increase your nute concentration... I would...
