HUGELY helpful! Wow, folks, you rule. Props given post haste. Amazing plants, Kludge. I will keep them short per your advice. I don't need much, but am a med user so want to see if I can capitalize on some strains better suited for pain relief.

Oh yes, I should add that I'm planning on keeping them fairly small- (3 of them are dwarves anyway)- no more than 24 inches tall, and likely will LST. Does this change your opinions? Again, I can't thank you all enough- obviously new at this so your thoughts are appreciated.

This is completely fantastic input, thanks so much guys. Actually, if I'm using the fluorescent seedling light and the 2-3 CFLs I don't really need to grow in the cedar closet. I can easily do it in another portion of the house so venting is not an issue because there is appropriate air...

I was planning to supplement the 2 24" 20w fluorescents that I have for seedling starting already with CFLs because I thought that might be the easiest at this point. I have no way to vent that stupid cedar closet without light leakage that will most definitely be visible outside the basement...

Do you think that I absolutely need to use all 4 of the extra CFLs at once or could I use the 2 cool lights alone with the 40w until the plant is ready to flower then change to the warmer lights? Would 11,830 lumens be enough for <6 plants (I doubt all 6 will be female so I'll need to pull...

Hope you guys can help. Can't vent a 400w HPS light- turns out (from recent experience) it runs way too hot for the space, there's no real option for ventilation, open doors emit visible glow that is problematic for stealth, and it appears to be a major fire hazard due to the wood paneled walls...

I sprung for a 400w HPS to grow in a closed off cedar closet in the basement. I wish I could say I knew more about DIY construction than I do, but I'm a girlie chick. Anyway, light is too hot, there's little way for me to properly vent, security is an issue as the light is visible if the door...

In New England here too- Go Sox. I'm actually pretty concerned about one of the plants that seems to have only gotten started very very late- think I'll have to keep it in the ground until the first week of November! I'm am definitely worried that we'll get a frost before this little lady is...

I'm not certain it matters so much. That said, I was told by a master gardener (in relation to *all* seeds regardless of type) to not put the seedlings under light until the cotyledons break the soil. THEN they should all go under light as close as possible without burning. For cool flouros they...

I think it's pretty fantastic that you have an Emu. LOL! How random and hilarious! Hopefully you can isolate your plant, because Emus are omnivores and eat grasses, plants, insects, etc. Apparently, they love grass shoots- so, it's possibly that the emu will eat the plant if you allow it to...

Not to hijack, but I've also got pretty thin buds on a plant that's about 5 weeks into flower. I know they pack on weight toward the end, but if I were to remove the side branching leaves on the lower third of the plants, that could actually increase the size of the top cola? Pls. confirm, b/c...

See the link for info on BT. Frequently comes in powder form, but application timing is critical. Great stuff and considered organic. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Insecticide Fact Sheet Carrie Swadener / Journal of Pesticide Reform v.14, n.3 Fall94 For non-organic growers, Sevin is a good...

Ditto what bterz said. NICE grow, though. Makes the three little ladies I have left look pretty puny.

Hey- HTGsuppy has what looks like a decent set up with a HID ballast that plugs into a regular socket. It's a private auction on EBay so no one can see what you bought precisely and you can pay via paypal if you want or call and give them a credit card. Of course, who knows, maybe you're growing...

Damn, pressed enter too quickly- hope you guys had a similar experience. Plants doing fine here.

Nope, no real issues here either. Seemed like a bad storm more than anything else. About 12 inches of rain collected in the wheelbarrow but winds didn't even blow over the hammock and that bitch is pretty easy to overturn. Hope

For future grows you may wish to try what lots of gardeners do to combat Squash Vine Borers on their zucchinis (these buggers also bore into the stem). A master gardener suggested taking a syringe earlier in the season and injecting BT into the stem. Because these types of larvae EAT the inside...

Dirthawker- it can. Cut it all away and make sure that you remove all contaminated clippings from the area completely. As with all plants, fungus/mold is pretty contagious from plant to plant. You're better off cutting more to be safe than risking a larger infection on the plant (or having it...

I'm definitely voting. Here's hoping that this passes.

Two of my NPPs look just like yours- very little if any pistil development. I'm curious as to why this might be also.
