you should bring up the temperature a little if at all possible, as well as the humidity. 40-50% is perfect humidity for flowering but when you're vegging you want it to be above 50 up to 70%. not any higher than that though. If you can only change the humidity that may be enough. You should...

I just transplanted to a larger pot and started her flowering 9 days ago. The first picture is from 9 days ago and the second from tonight. I've been trimming some of the fan leaves (the ones blocking the most light), but I'm wondering whether or not I should trim many more of the fan leaves to...

so you're using compact fluorescents? You should be able to keep them very close to your girl so that she get's as many lumens as possible. are you feeding any nutes? How often are you watering... and what's your water source?

if you use an hps with the same number of watts as your cfls (250W roughly in your case) then you will be getting more lumens for the same amount of electricity. HPS lights emit more lumens per watt than a compact fluorescent light (46-72 lumens per watt for cfl, and 80-150 lumens per watt for...

i hate to say it but it looks like your little girl there is dying. What setup are you using, how often are you watering and what kind of light? Whatever it is i think you need to move the light closer... your girl needs to bulk up if she's gonna make it. also, the main stem does not grow back...

Make sure you're not over watering... only water again when the soil on top is dry (not dry all the way through though), and when you do water make sure you wet all of the soil thoroughly (allow some to start draining out the bottom of your pot). Also you might want to check the ppm of your tap...

Yeah that's it... actually it's the 430W full spectrum son agro (promotes the good veg growth as well), runs in a 400W HPS ballast though.

Another thing that you want to check is the humidity. When you're vegging your ladies you need to make sure your humidity is around 60-70, 40-50 can also work (you may notice slightly slower growth) but anything lower than that and it will seriously slow down your growth because the pores on...

Thanks man... I've been flushing them with pure ozonated water for 7 days now so I'm planning on chopping them in a couple days after an extended night period.

Also remember that if you get an air cooled hood for your light you can keep the light a lot closer to your plants. The closer you can safely keep your light to your plants the more lumens you are using (making for more efficient growing). I have a 400W HPS WITHOUT an air cooled hood and I can...

Thank you so much for your quick response... I was told that they are bubblegum... I don't know for any certainty though as they were given to me as seedlings.

These pics are from my three ladies. This is my first harvest ever and I think they're coming along very nicely but I'm just not sure exactly how much longer until I'm ready to chop 'em down.
