    35 days into flowering (wtf?)..pics inside

    It doesn't look like you are doing anything really wrong. Some plants just take longer than others. I have 2 going now. 1 is going to be done at about 11 weeks of 12/12, the other is all sativa and may take as long as 14 weeks. Your girl looks real healthy. I'd relax and do your thing and let...

    Best flowering technique

    I run my lights 20/4 during veg, on from 8:00pm till 4:00pm. I think they like a few hours of dark to rest, that's why I don't do 24/0. I don't know if that is scientifically true, but it feels right to me. When I switch to 12/12 I just do it, on from 8:00pm till 8:00am. Seems to work for me...

    Plant pot advice

    If your roots are already coming out of the pots you need to transpalnt if you want them to grow more. As far as whether they are ready to flower yet, that depends a lot on how big you want them to get. They can triple in height during flower. In my micro grow I flip to 12/12 when they are about...

    SEEMOREBUDS grow 8 ounces of weed for under 100

    With the lights, you can use 2700k the whole way, but it is better to have a mixed spectrum. 3:1 blue:red for veg and red:blue for flower. Also pay attn to lumens. You want a minimum of 3000 lumens per sq ft.

    6 inch pot

    I use 6 inch pots to flower in my micro grow. I veg to about 6 inches. They end up about 18 inches tall.

    ready to flower?

    Yea, it all really depends on how much height you have. Also, do you plan to top, LST or SCRoG. I have limited space, I veg till about 6 inches tall and they grow to be about 18 inches. Topped and light LST.

    Mr small , aka midgeT!

    I like 20/4 lighting for veg. Long light period, but just enough rest. I believe ph should be 6-6.5.

    Germination help?

    I do the paper towel method, 100% every time. Take my beans, put em in wet folded paper towel. Stick that into a plastic sandwich baggie and put it on top of my computer, nice and warm. Keep the towel wet for 2 days and then put the sprouted beans into soil, about 1/2 inch down.

    please help!!! what lights??????

    Look at your lumen output too. The minimum you want is 3000 lumens per square foot. A 150 watt HPS puts out about 16,000 Lumens total. My CFL micro grow is in flower now, 2 plants LST'ed. 2 x 42 watt, 2700k, 2600 lumens and 1 x 27 watt, 5500k, 1700 lumens. 111 watts total. 6900 lumens total. 58...

    CFL's and Fixtures...

    That is a pretty good, cost effective and popular fixture for CFLs. It does limit you to how many bulbs you can install. One thing to really keep in mind is that you want to get at least 3000 lumens per sq foot. The 23 watt bulbs I think are around 1600 lumens. 1600 x 4 = 6400. So if your grow...
