your plant will survive temps up to around 100, you just better have a low humidity lol. if plants in jamaica can stand 110 degrees all summer im sure yours will be alright around 90. but like homeboy said 78 is like the perfect temp. with about 45% humidity

I was looking through the internet to see what kind of average yield I would have with this strain, and I found that there are ALOT of liars out there! So anyone know, in grams, what I may come out with?

Ya, I live in a place where 40% humidity is normal during the summer so I think I should be ok.

Right after I took today's pictures I broke a bulb and have no replacement. I feel like a dumbass.

Also technically this is my second grow but my last one was ripped up just weeks into flowering. So ANY advice would be welcome!

Dude chuck this puppy outside until the new bulb arrives. I reckon it might be ok and you can always bang it back under the new light to let it veg for longer when you get it. Hope it goes well for you!!!

dafoe23, I absolutely would except I live in an apartment complex and my apt. is basically underground, so no balcony. I ended up robbing a bulb out of my bedroom light to replace it. it's the Same type so it's cool.
And thanks Bublonichronic! From everything I've read on this strain, it's the fuckin bomb diggitty if grown right. I'm expecting amazing things from this smoke.

Also I would like to re-emphasise my lack of knowledge here. If you happen to notice something I should be doing by a certain day, let me know. Or any verified grow tips (besides better lighting) would be GREAT.

ARGHHHHH! Yo Big Chilling. Take the foil off dude! I made exactly the same mistake early on in my grow and the foil round the pots causes hot spots. I nearly nuked half my leafs off but thankfully the plant recovered. If you are putting the foil round to stop mold, etc, try Hydroleca balls. Check my grow early on to see what happened to my plant and should be some info on the hydroleca there as well if you want it. Week two if I remember correctly. Only a tip so ignore me if you have other reasons for doing it.

leaves dont absorb light from their bottom side so that tinfoil isnt doing much good either way.. side lighting/reflection would go much farther.

I remember what happened dafoe23, and it definitely gives me worry. And if it doesn't absorb light from the bottom, unless she starts to burn, then it won't hurt anything anyways. But I HAVE made sure that i have constant airflow on her to keep hot spots to a minimum. Don't worry, if she starts to burn I will immediately pull the foil. And any fiming advice, or even what fim actually means would be great.

So as you guys have seen, i've put some foil in there to help bounce the light around instead of it just disappearing in the dirt. I also just put in a 5th 23w/100w equiv. in there.

MORE LIGHTS!!!

if your gonna use tinfoul u should ball it up into a ball and then flatten it out the edges (bends/ folds w/e) will help defuse hot spots while still reflecting really well
