    overfed, underfed, or something else?

    Breathing? Do you mean I need more fresh air? Are you saying I should use soap (dawn?) alone or with the oil? All over or just underside of leaves? Again, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this help. I work 2 jobs along with growing, so I don't have much time for extensive research.

    overfed, underfed, or something else?

    Thanks. I almost forgot about mites and I've got them. Do I spray all over or just on the underside where they live? Heavy or light spray? Also, do u think the mites are causing all of my problems or could feeding be an issue, too?

    overfed, underfed, or something else?

    I'm around a month into flowering and I can't seem to get my plants fully healthy. The tops have looked fine with no tip burn. They have a bunch of tiny yellowish white spots, though. A few of them are starting to lighten all over. The lower leaves have been turning yellow rather quickly...

    pollen and seed questions

    My males are already producing decent-sized sacks, but my females are at least a week away from being ready. I plan to move a male to a closet with only a CFL for a few days. Is this alright? If so, do I stick with 12/12? Can someone tell me the best way to store the pollen? I've saved it in...

    Nothing? I guess I'll post in the newbie section where I belong.

    Lighting: Why Complete Darkness During 12/12?

    I use foxfarm, by the way, for flowering along with a bit of Monte's root and bloom sometimes. I use Monte's grow formula for veg. Is that alright?

    Lighting: Why Complete Darkness During 12/12?

    I use pro mix, b mix or whatever you want to call it. Is that good? I've got diesel, white diesel, and some random good strand going at the moment. I should probably stick to 1 or 2 next time. I plan to mate them again, which is supposed to improve quality. I've read bad things about forcing...

    Lighting: Why Complete Darkness During 12/12?

    I know 40+ plants under 2 600w hps full spectrum is excessive. How many would u suggest? I'm currently using 2 gallon bags. I should probably go to 3+ gallons next time. As far as watering/feeding goes, I was taught to feed 6 days and flush 1. Every other day seems to be preferred. I'm...

    Lighting: Why Complete Darkness During 12/12?

    I appreciate the advice. I hope to advance quickly enough to help others within a year or less. Sorry I tend to write so much. Can anyone else verify that it's o.k. to move dawn time back so far as long as I do it slowly? I obviously need the window a/c and I can't seal off the vents to...

    Lighting: Why Complete Darkness During 12/12?

    I've only been in 12/12 for 3 days, but dawn comes at 3:00p.m. There's no way I could slowly or quickly move my dawn time to 6:00a.m., is there? I should've thought of this earlier. Stupid newbie.

    Lighting: Why Complete Darkness During 12/12?

    The light is coming from the sun. Window a/c units allow light to come in through the vents. Otherwise, the room is sealed off completely. Moonlight comes from the sun, so there should be no spectrum issues. The amount of light on one side of the wall is enough to see around well enough. On...

    Lighting: Why Complete Darkness During 12/12?

    This is my first post. I would appreciate any good feedback. Everything I've ever read in these forums says complete darkness is required during 12/12 to simulate natural conditions during normal outdoor flowering. This doesn't seem to account for the moonlight. In my room, I have a movable...
