Dont go back to veg, but still clone off of her. unless you want to keep your lights on for 24/ for the next few weeks. then if so, the fastest way to clone is to get a dixie cup fill it 1/3 with your choice of soil, then place your clone (don't use rockwool, it's just as bad as asbestos.) on...

you are both talking about two different things, vertical lighting, and vertical gardening. Vertical lighting is what you accomplished in this post, where the lights are positioned vertical instead of horizontal, which maximizes lighting by utilizing all sides of the bulb as opposed to just the...

I'm just saying that there is no magical way to grow any plant. every plant depends on so many factors and variables. what works for one plant may not work for another. but once you have figured out what does work best for that particular strain, in your particular environment, then continue to...

Thea reason for flushing is to remove the harmful chemicals used in during the entire feeding process. if you add more nutes you are defeating the purpose of flushing.

ok keep this in mind. the buds will ripen and fatten out from the bottom to the top. you will notice that your nugs have hardened in the lower region. once that has happened all the way through to the top, you will want to flush one last time, wait a few days for the last flush to dry. then...

Male.. i do not see the presence of pistil hairs. just balls!! like tiny little nutsacks... within the second week you should start noticing hairs from all over the nodes!! but i just little round things.. unless its a hermie??

Also look real carefully at the difference in color from the outside of the nug to the inside. if it is brown on the inside and less dense, the the mold has dried. but pay real close attention to when you break apart the bud to see "spores" mist the air around the nug. it wont kill you but make...

Extension cords are a bad idea, especially outdoors. you have to consider that if you are using HID lights that the ballast can arc, thus overloading the cables. you are going to need to hardwire directly to the power supply. and make sure to have each connection fused in case the amperage...

do 24 hour veg, then 12/12 flower. the size of the pot depends on the size of the light. the bigger the light the bigger the pot. What system are you using? try veging for 3 weeks and flower for 7

With hydroponics you will need to flush at least two weeks before harvest. unless you want to smoke a shit load of chemicals. the best things is to just stop feeding the nutes three weeks before harvest and continue to flush daily, with new h20. and if you dont flush, you are a fuckin asshole...

Thats an incredibly long flower time, if you didnt fuck with the lighting so much, and didnt interrupt the plants sleep cycle, you probably would not have noticed the stunt in its growth. you screwed its photo sensitive period up and thats probably why its taking too long to finish its harvest...

Just remember to keep the lights at least a foot away with the 400w hps and 250 w hps because the wavelength isn't as powerful as much brighter bulbs. It will still be in the spectrum around 650 nm for photo synthesis, but the further away the light is from the plant, the more the amplitude of...

thats a lot of light for just one plant. you should be able to get at least 15 more plants the same size if you change your method to perpetual sea of green. Remove the reflection hood, and you can place the light either vertical or horizontal. just have a fan blowing directly onto the tip of...

Just remember to keep the lights at least a foot away because the wavelength isn't as powerful as much brighter bulbs. It will still be in the spectrum around 650 nm for photo synthesis, but the further away the light is from the plant, the more the amplitude of the wavelength will decrease! So...

Since you are only using a 150 w hps you should use a smaller pot, maybe 1 gal, rootbound and then switch your grow style to a sea of perpetual green instead of trying to harvest one or two plants, you are going to have to do at least 10 small plants. this will allow you to grow (essentially)...
