im back on 60w plant spectrum tubes. i can't really do any better. Im fine with this amount of light i suppose.

i just went away for a day and the leafs are looking a lot less lively. hopefully they'll regain their fullness after a few more hours with water?

rule #1 dont over water

what would you consider over watering? how much should i water them?

sorry I didnt get back to you in time,

fully established secondary growth IMO is when the secondary growth (growth between the nodes and fan leaves) is at least as long as the fan leaves. That way you wont be blocking any light to those branches. This is desired bcuz thats where the Colas and buds are gonna come from.

Overwatering is when the plants cant recieve any oxygen to the roots, and they begin to look droopy and sad. It can also happen when the plants roots suck up too much water and the stems and branches become too soft and flimsy. The plant will literally bend itself over at the stem (sorta like LST but without any strings or anything.) but in a few hours or days when the soil dries out it usually perks back up.

To prevent it I usually water my plants until the pot feels heavier than before I watered it. You could water until you see "run-off water" come from the drainage holes on the bottom of the pot, but I like to play it safe.
Its easier to remedy 'underwatering' than 'overwatering'.

The temps shouldnt exceed 95*F. Most plants can tolerate 90*F, but you MUST supply co2 or else the plants will become sick looking and probably will be stunted until you fix that. You do have a thermometer right?

Make sure U have a fan blowing around the grow room to circulate the co2, and to cool off the bulbs.

Keep the CFL's no closer that 4"-6" and no further than 10".


Right now Im using the sugar-water-yeast combination to make co2 and its lasted 31 days so far.

good luck and hopefully this helps

i water my plants once a day maybe, when the soil gets bone dry. the leafs do kind of look droopy but it doesnt seem to be a problem.

they've been on 12/12 for 5 days now and i think might be starting to show signs of sex. im not sure though.

I know those 15w fluro's.
I have used them for clones, veg, and side lighting for flower.

You will want to focus a few 42w cfl's around the fems when you know the sex.
The cfl's will make a big difference compared to the 15w tubes.
