Hi, I'm just finishing off my first ever grow, under CFLs. I really enjoyed and want to do it again using better lighting. Here's what I'm looking at: http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/4980/LU0250-0001.html bulb http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/6007/BS-LU0250MT.html ballast Is this a good...

Thank you for the replies. They've been flowering for just over three weeks, I think most of the growth spurt has passed simply because they're 3x as big as when the 12/12 switch happened... I'm scared to bend them in case of breaking the stems, since they're already into flowering. I've...

Hi, one of my plants is getting too big for my box as you can see in the pic, twice as big as the other two plants. If I just leave it will it adapt itself to the box size and stop growing up? It's been flowering(showing sex) for three weeks. Is it safe to say the tall one is sativa and the...

2 of the plants are too tall and I can't fit any lights above them. The enclosure is very small and wallpapered in reflective card and mylar (the walls are movable so I keep the plants surrounded by reflective walls). What would be the point in putting reflectors around the bulbs? Is it bad to...

Yeah, the soil I'm using says it has organic time release fertilizer, enough to power a plant for three months. Sorry, should have mentioned that at first. I can't check my PH at the moment. Is it looking more like too much nutrient, rather than too little? I've got some blood and bone stuff I...

Also is it worth cooking up the males in some butter and eating it? They've had their balls out for about 5 days now...

Hi, I've been noticing some leaves dying near the top of my plant lately. They've been on 12/12 for almost 3 weeks now and I just pulled 4 males for showing heaps of balls but none of these plants seem to be showing sex yet, so I'm hoping females. I've just been watering them every two days...

Are you saying I should top the females again and root them? I did top them all back when they were veging but I had no room to plant the tops. I've got no experience cloning and I really doubt I could get a cutting from a flowering plant to root, after looking into that "monster cropping"...

Yeah, I'm thinking of trying some 12/12 from seed growing now, but really I only wanted four of the eight to be female so I might be okay. I bet the 10 seeds you bought were feminized, so it's pretty worth it to avoid the fear of an all male harvest.

Well, maybe not suicide worthy but I'll definitely be the unluckiest grower ever if they're all male. But if males do show first (always thought it was females) then I could live to grow another day.

Thanks, Manditory! Great help.

I got them from my local NORML chapter, $20 for 50. I've got 8 plants growing, I guess 3 are confirmed male with one probable. I guess I'll have to commit suicide if they turn out all male :(

This is a pretty disappointing thread. What about this one? Chances of female?

So if I pulled them now would it be worth making butter? They're growing under CFL, been on 12/12 for over 2 weeks...

Rats. Are all the photos definite males? They aren't my only plants but the only ones showing sex. I thought females showed sex first? How long have I got before the pollen sprays? A week from when it shows aprox, right? Will females look pretty much the same except the ball will have a tiny hair?
