Hi! The number of plants is irrelevant. Covarage area is what counts. With 6 lights each delivering 2700lm you got 16200lm alltogether (ideally, meaning that you can direct all of the light on to the canopy, which is not achivable even with the best reflectors) so realisticly you will have...

Hi! Here is some good reading and calculators aswell on yield and things that influence it. http://www.angelfire.com/cantina/fourtwenty/yor/yor.htm Cheers!

hi! Here is a link to some very useful information regarding cannabis cultivation and artificial lighting (other areas also) http://www.angelfire.com/cantina/fourtwenty/yor/yor.htm Cheers!

Hi! Wattage is irrelevant for what you are asking, since efficiency at coverting electricity to light varies between different light sources. Even the ones that work on the same basic principle, like cfl bulbs in your case. What you should be looking at is luminous flux... And for vegetative...

Hi! The plant looks nice and healthy, so thats good. As for your set up... I personaly wouldnt dare to mix electricity with cardboard, as this material burns easily due to its structure and low density. I know that some people use them successfully, but if anything goes wrong it will catch fire...

Hi! From experience I can say that you are absolutely correct, if you let them flower out most of the females will develope some male flowers. Thats the most natural method of getting fem. seeds. Cheers!

Hi! I understand what you are saying and thats why I wrote the pheno I have has purple buds no matter the temp. Just the calyxs are purple right from the start of flowering, and they go from light pruple to dark as they mature, the leaves remain green. So this is a purely genetic trade and it...

Hi! Took a look at the photos on the web and I cant see any protective clear plastic anywhere. I use a diy T5 HO lighting panel and cant think of a reason to use clear plastic for covering my tubes. It might be to protect the plants from growing in to the tubes, but you definetly loose some...

Hi! Never heard of purple bud being a bad thing, or good for that matter. Why do you think that? And why do you think it would yield less? The best pheno I have in my collection of seeds that I have bred myself for many years now from bagseeds has purple buds, no matter the temperatures. It is...

Hi! I use a combination of warm white and cool white T5 tubes. Thats 3000K and 4000K color temp. and have no complaints. I think all warm white fluorescent light would be just fine for flowering. Cheers.

Hi! You can wait a few more days but I wouldnt get my hopes up, as I undrstand it you drowend the poor seeds. Way too much watering there. For the next time I would advise you not to use any napkins and alike methods, it is an unnecessary complication and it can cause mor harm the good...

Hi! From experience I can say I would get around 150 - 200g of trimmed and dried bud. How much will you get I dont know, theres to many variables. This g/W thing is totaly irelevant when comparing different light sources, since their efficiency at producing light varies, also you have to take...

Hi! As far as I know there is no lining that will offer moisture or mold protection. If anything anykind of lining (that doesnt breathe) will actually increse these problems (condensation and stagnant air beetwen walls and lining). The most elegant solution is to paint it white. Now there are...

Hi! If you can afford it I would say buy and run a copressor dehumidifier. I know the general rule out there is to keep your humidity low... but, humidity in my closet never drops below 50% RH and it can be as high as 90% with temp. Range anywhere from 16 degrees Centigrade whith lights off...

Hi! First of all let me say those plants look nice and healthy, good job there! To anwser your question. No. It will not die if you trimm the lower branches and fill it with soil. It will actually grow roots out of those wounds. so you could do that. As for general opinions... I would...
