I started them 18/6 during the veg stage. Then I moved the light to 12/12 to force flowering mode. It is flowering nicely for about 5 weeks now. I was only curious if I increased the light back to 18/6 if it would help with bigger bud growth.

Hey all, I have two questions on lighting during veg mode. I have a white widow that has been in veg for 4 weeks now. I have my lights timed to 12/12. My questions are this: if I turn up the lights to 16/8, will my female turn into a hermaphrodite? If not, will this increased light increase...

Jesus420, The purple stems aren't a problem. As many have said here the coloring isn't temp related. I've had this happen on every grow and I've heard it can be mainly genetics, but there are many opinions on what causes this. You can prune off the messed up leaves on bottom but it will...

Phily Kelly, Do you have some pics? Are the leaves curling upwards? Do they have brown splotches on them? From what you're describing it sounds like a mag deficiency. I know in many of my posts on this particular section I say this, but from the pics I've seen of other's plants and from my own...

Juls7892, This looks like a lack of magnesium in your feeding. I've used the same FF schedule that you are on and had this happen to my last two grows. If the spots are more apparent on the lower leaves and not the top ones, it is a lack of mangesium. Most commercial ferts (non-organic and...

Firsttime, I've had this problem before with seeds but eventually the seed shell fell off on its own. The last batch of skunk that I did had two seeds that wouldn't let go of the husk. After about 3 weeks in soil both of them finally let go of the husk. I wouldn't pull it off. I tried this too...

I know I do need to clone this time. I tried to clone last time during flowering phase and it didn't work too well. There are some forums out there that give shitty advice on cloning. I like this forum so far. Many of the growing and other tips have been good ones. Many users say you can clone...

Yes I switched to the flowering bulbs at the beginning of the flowering stage. I think I may have had bad box syndrome as well because the white paint I used didn't reflect the light nearly as well as the black/white poly does. I'm only growing 3 plants for now as I'm down to my last 3 white...

Good point Blacksnow! I will have to stick with the T5's as I am in the US and don't want to have a huge power increase. LOL... I did find a T5 2ft fixture on HTGsupply.com that promises 10,000 for the entire fixture. I think I may get two of these and use them vertically in my grow tent in...

Cool... I'll try that! It'll be a few weeks before flowering phase, but I'll put up some pics when I can. I think you guys are right because I just checked on the lumen output of the bulbs I am using and they are only 2,000 each so my current fixture is only at 8,000 total. Time to buy some...

Thanks all. Legacy, should I use the 250W with my T5?

So the light is not enough? Each bulb is 8,000 lumens and there are 4 bulbs making 32,000. So will i need to get another 2ft T5? I usually keep the light about 3 inches above the canopy also to ensure max light but I may have to get another one. LOL...DAMNIT!

Noregrets, I've had this problem before as well and it is definately a magnesium deficiency. The best and cheapest way to cure this is to use epsom salt in a foilar feed because the plant can go into newt lockout very easily with this deficiency. If you are using the Fox Farm schedule, put a...

Hey all, This is my third soil grow and currently I am only in the vegetative state for my current grow. Anyways, I'm growing 3 female white widow plants and am very nervous about the flowering phase because on my last two grows, the buds turned out small and not much "meat" to them. They were...
