Dude, that shit's looking dope! But how many nodes you got on it? And how long did you veg before flowering? I'm just curious because I'm on my first grow and I'm trying to get ideas for time... :/

Well, so far it's been pretty compact. I think I'm gonna cut out the 5th developing node. Still waiting for an answer of how the stalk grows once it's been topped.

Cool! Thanks guys... but a question I have is how many times do you think I'll top it if I want it to be 2-3' tall when it's done? I know it has to do with how compact it is but an estimate would be cool... also, when you top it does it do this? -\ /\/ --\ / ---| or does it do...

Do you think this plant is ready to be topped? Or how about super cropped? It's working on it's 4th node right now, with the 5th node's leaves starting to come out as well.

The fire hazard won't be a problem. It's 100% secure and monitored very very often. Also, there's a fire extinguisher in my room and the living room just in case. If I can afford a better box I will try to make one out of wood... I have encountered another problem because 2 of my plants are...

A few things have changed since I took those pics, I have a rather large fan inside there blowing just above the 10 bulbs. Also, I have white paper taped into there, I know it's ghetto but I have to leave it like that until I come up with a better idea. Cardboard is my only option, also, CFL's...

Yea, dude, nuting is a bitch, and watering, I honestly have no idea how often to water, and I try to do it every other day but the plants.... they talk to me.... "please please water us! Yes! Over water us! Don't worry! We like it!" I just can't resist! But now I'm using super thrive in my...

My current new set up of lights is 8 2700k 20w CFLs and 2 sunlight spec (5500k) 20w CFL and 2 40w 4' sunlight spectrum florescents to lead the growth upward a bit. Total lumens = 16,200 Total square footage = 4 Lumens/Sq. Ft. = 4050 Note that the 4' floros only have about 2' of them actually...

Umm, bulb scale only goes up to about 6500k, that's when it's UV ray, and invisible to us, I think UV ray... or infared...

This does help, a lot! So let me tell you about my plant X--------X Y XPLANTX Y X--------X Y XPLANTX Y X--------X Y X= 20w sunlight spec CFL (the ones I have in the reflectors) Y = 2x 4' 40w full spec floro tube facing upward from below the plants Total : 280watts I plan to use this until...

Umm I think you got the light temps confused, and it's 5000-5500k I forgot, but 5500k is natural sunlight spectrum so I don't know about just for show... and they've been growing my babies so far but yea, also, the MG is just a nute I plan to use much later MAYBE, seeing as how I have pre nuted...

I'm honestly disturbed by the amount of light needed by these things. I understand why they need so much light especially with CFL's, which are the only thing I can use, but damn! it's still a lot of light! So basically I'm trying to figure out a way to get about 1/4-1/2 pound yield, period. I...

Also, a quick question, how the fuck do you flush soil if it has time released nutes? Or is it simply impossible? If it is, how do I get the salts out and how to I flush before harvest?

Thanks Night, this way seems like a good idea, I just typed a huge post but this gay ass shit said I couldn't post cuz of some error and erased it all. Basically I will use that weight of the cup watering idea from now on. I have a CO2 tank which I use to spray for 30 seconds with no fans on...

In the bottom of my cup I have a layer of pebble sized rock used as my medium for drainage, and I try to water only when they need it, pushing my finger down 1-2" into the soil to check moister. I plan to get a moister indicator as well as a ph meter soon, with PH balanced water, I shouldn't...
