Yes. I imagine he really appreciates you coming here and telling him about lighting. I mean, he uses CFLs, he clearly knows less about growing weed than you. :p Thank you for coming to the CFL growing forum to tell us that the answer is to use HPS. Great job dude, really excellent example...

This can vary by strain, I have seen cheese switch on 16/8, whereas blue cheese, indica and belladonna in the same veg cab did not. After a week it was clear she had gone into flower and I just lobbed her in the flowering cab ahead of schedule.

mmmm....another skunk#1 derived hybrid if I'm not mistaken. I'm an LST freak, so I'm not used to seeing these growing straight up as nature intend. She sure is pretty, looking very healthy and already showing plenty of trichomes for such immature buds, you should be expecting a really nice...

Indica, a friends own hybrid (called Funky) and there is some cheese in the cabinet drying, should be smokable wed/thurs, personally. ;)

My only advice here is, be sure you are ready. I have seen plant developement stunted by transplanting too early and the roots not being able/willing to make the push out of their original volume as a result, which in the long term led to smaller plants and tight, tangled root patterns. I let...

As for strain, the strong bright leaves are an unknown hybrid to me at this point, when the plants are a little more mature it will be easier to tell, but nothing I personally recognise. There is a strong indica influence in there, but they are clearly a developed hybrid, rather than a pure...

Yeah, I use a little from time to time. I do not use nutes during veg, only soil and water, occasionally I will throw a low dose of flowering nutes in to flavour the soil. I came to this practice by growing 2 clones side by side, one nuted during veg, one not, there was no noticable...

Just to add, looks like about 10-20 days into flowering, how old is she?

Skunk #1 based hybrid, by the look of her, should be some nice, tight, resin heavy buds at the end of the journey. Some leaves show damage as if she is growing against the walls of her environment to me. My experience with similar genetics says give it 2 weeks then prune 50% of major fan...

I top my plants at a little beyond where your girls are now, then start the LST a week or so later when they start to show the result (dividing so side branches become tops). I would then either give them another week and stick them into flower (for a smaller plant with a few nice fat buds) or...

No, the 250w e40 is a self ballasting CFL. Which means all it needs is a plug on the end. Most (decent) reflectors come with a female socket to hook up your ballast, when using a CFL just put a kettle lead in (PC power lead, you know the thing). If not, just attach a plug. You only need a...

Made some interesting reading this thread. I personally trim "some" fan leaves later in the flowering cycle and, like the OP, first did this with 2 identical plants to test. The plant which was left alone did slightly less well than the plant which was trimmed, the strength, taste and size of...

I think that popular belief would say 2x18w 3700k, many would say 1 of each and maximise the output whilst combining the spectrums, personally, I would go for the 2 18w 3700k, based on experience. A plant will still enter and progress through flowering stage with a high frequency bulb, however...

What is the distance between the top of your plants and your light source?

Some strains show sex early on compared to others (skunk #1 based hybrids are a particular example) and you can easily sex while still vegging, other strains the pistils are too small to accurately determine. The wider leaves suggest that you should expect a fairly short plant with nice dense...

It is the overwatering that has causd the stunting. Transplanting will make them a little shocked, so let them be for 3-4 days now, look in by all means but don't try to do anything to them. A side effect of overwatering a young plant is that the soil is tighter and harder for roots to push...

tHi Mature, just catching up onyour thread. Sorry to hear about the mites. I recently had an infection, heavily soaked the plants (it was in my veg box) with a mister with about 2ml of neem oil mixed into 1l of ph neutral water and they went away, this was 3 weeks ago and there has been no...

it shouldn't hurt at all, to be honest. I had to move my light cycle forwards by 12 hours on my last grow and just gave them an extra 2 hours dark for 6 days with no ill effects.

Those are some nice tight little plants, should be plenty of bud points. I'm also a fan of fimming and have had some nice results personally. Will keep an eye on this. I'd recommend getting some flowering feed on the go asap though, it will really boost your yield and the longer you wait to...

I'd have to check camera...my hands were filthy sticky, so I only took a couple of pics, didn't want to mess up my new phone ;)
