lol! you're one of those defensive types eh? Always think people are attacking you? What a joke... I wasn't implying that your info was incorrect by any means. I just wanted to see what source you got it from, so I could read further on the topic. And yes, how serious you are! Does that phrase...

i was just speaking generally. 7000 lumens would do the trick. It all depends how seriouse you are. Do you have any links or sources of this info that you have mentioned. I have read that 8000 lumens is ideal; so I would like to get some info from other credible sources that might differ in content.

You might not need as many lumens right now while the plant is still small, but eventually you will need 5000 - 7000 at least. I learned the hard way that clones need at least 6 hours of dark. My clones didn't even start to root until I started giving them a dark period. Once they are fully...

i like this one a lot. you can trust them. just check out there site and email them with questions if you have any. Marijuana Seeds (cannabis, pot) shipped worldwide

lol... you confused us Heady!

Alien, Thats exactly what I did. I'm on my first grow as well and about a week and a half ago, I took three clones off each of my four plants that were about a month old at the time. I have since started flowering and found out that one is a male so I will be getting rid of him and his clones...

It seems like you can see a large sack of balls in the fourth picture, a little blury though.

I've seen roots on about half of them in the last few days! I think the key was giving them some darkness!!! I had the light on for 24 hours for the first few days, but after reading a little more and checking out that post that Garden Knowm put up, i started giving them 8 hours of darkness...

From what you have said this is what I'm imagining your set up looks like: You have a closet that on one side has duct piping connected to a fan that leads to the outside somehow. On the other side of the closet or on the top of the closet you have another hole with duct pipe running from it to...

before trying to cool the reflector directly I would use both 600cfm fans as exhaust fans to pull air out of the room. Air will automatically be sucked into the closet at the same rate that it is being pulled out of the room. You don't need a fan to pull air into the room. Just make sure that if...

For veg you want to have mostly light with the blue spectrum, which is a higher color temp like 5000 K to 6500 K. For flowering you want light that has a lower color temp like around 2500K (soft white), which is more of the red spectrum. But to answer your question, its okay to use both at the...

Ok, I was worried about leaving the male in too long, but I also didnt' want to get rid of the suspected male until I'm sure (its my biggest one). That clears that up. I appreciate the help everyone. Here is are two picks of the suspected male. Is it a sure thing?

When did you guys get rid of the males? before flowering? or did you let them flower for a while just to make sure?

If you absolutely have to grow in a closet with the door shut, then you must use cfl's. From what I hear you can still get great results with cfls (I am using HID lights). You need to pay attention to lumen output per cfl that you use. You want about 7000 lumens per square foot of grow area...

When is the earliest anyone has ever been able to tell the sex of a plant after switching to 12/12? I switched to 12/12 yesterday and today I was able to spot hairs on 3 out of 4 plants. The fourth looks to be male. I switched from lights on 24 hours to lights on 18 hours about 4 days ago...

it gives out enough to heat up a small area fast. If you went with the HPS you would have to get an air coolable reflector. When used with a duct fan, pulls out the hot air from the lamp immedeatly. If you were growing in a closet where you could leave the door open for plenty of air...

Does anyone know if its better to get those at a higher color temp for veg? like 6500k? or is 5000k good?

for 3 plants, eventually I would imagine you would need at least ten of those bulbs you mentioned. Surely you can find higher wattage cfls somewhere. The 42 watters put out about 2700 lumens. If you could get six of those you would be good to go. check out the grow journal of the guy with the...

Cool.. thanks!

Thanks guys... I hope so too... I'll post once/if I see roots... I appreciate the input. Peace:joint:
