:joint: my female is in my shower now because my grow box became too small in flower. i have a 68 watt 2700k and 3 26 watt 2700k 1 30 watt 2700k and 2 14 watt daylight. its in the corner (white tiled shower) and i used the old rubbermaid container for 2 walls like halfway up the plant. i have them pretty close around the sides but i dont think its getting enough light because some of the leaves are curling in from the sides and the bottom leaves seam to die all the time. and i noticed purple lines going up the main stem and alot of the leaves stem have almost red. and the stalk has kind of a crusty film growing up and it seems like its killing the leaves from the bottom up. and i have been on 12 12 for a while lke almost a month and there is only alot of pistles all over it. long white pistiles but some are like thinning and turning red. somtimes i turn on the regular light to show sombody or somthing for just a minute. is that bad to do just for a sec. this is my first grow and my first post.

when the plant is on 12 /12 dont give it any light at all during the dark time and if she has the light turned on to often then she wil think its time to veg again and go back to that.

what i would do is get a green light bulb and turn that on it does not effect her stage of growth at all

i dont realy do it that much. more like every few days ill show sombody or somthing for maby 2 minutes. i also think it might be budding soo slow because it might be sativa. considering it has long leaf blades and long branches. nobody can help with the other questions. theres alot of veiws and 1 reply. im going to get pictures tomarow. does anybody have an idea how to possition the lights and how to make sometype of homemaid reflecter i have aluminum foil and cardboard for temporary. should the pistles turn red befor the buds swell? is it worth putting a cfl real low for the bottom leaves? iv seen picures were sombody had put cfls only on the top of the grow room threw even flowering... i dont understand how that worked
