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...

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...

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...

Thank you so much!

Hi, this may be a stupid question but I am growing a few plants and I want to take clones off the females once they show they're female through flowering. Is there a definitive guide/thread on this? I think I remember it being called "monster cloning" but searching doesn't bring up anything. I...

Hi guys, Here's a bunch of photos of my plants. They have been on 12/12 for 12 days but still no sign of sex (at least not definite enough signs for a novice like me). How are they looking? I've been watering every two days and they're in a soil and perlite mix with the soil apparently...

I've veged my plants for 2 weeks and switched to 12/12 today. I was veging under 6500k CFLs and am now using 2700k to flower, with a couple of 6500k bulbs still in there. Is this the best way to go? Is it actually a good idea to flower small plants under a majority of 2700k lights? A lot of...

Hi, I've been veging my plants under 6500k lights for 13 days now, topped 4 days ago and there is healthy new shoots coming out from the topped areas so I'm ready to do the 12/12 switch to using 2700k lights. The thing I'm wondering is whether having your plants lit primarily by side lighting...

Hi, as usual sorry for the crappy pictures. Is anybody able to ID the cause of this? It's not on every plant and never on all the leaves, but 5 of them have this to a degree, so I was wondering what was up. They've been in a potting soil with time release nutes/perlite mix for over a week now...

Hi, sorry for the not so great pics. Hopefully it gives you an idea of the size of the plants, though. They look A LOT better in real life and have started emitting a sweet smell, so I'm pleased. Massive growth spurts each day as well so I want to switch to 12/12 very soon as this is a 100% CFL...

What's up with the leaf in the pic with just one plant? I transplanted them from seed raising soil into a 80/20% mix of soil with slow release fertilizer and perlite two days ago. Temps are too high for a few of the plants right now, I'm getting my fan positioned better today, I hope. Do you...

Hi guys, are my plants looking ready to transplant or should I wait until they grow another set of leaves? I'm thinking of using 2 liter pots with 20% perlite 80% organic soil (with time release ferts). I'm planning to keep them in those pots all through and not start adding nutes until they're...

Hi, I'm growing some plants of random genetics (5 day old seedlings right now) and don't want them to get too tall because my grow box is pretty small. I'm wondering what the best methods to encourage them to be short are. I plan to LST them and place a few bulbs (I'm using CFLs all through)...

As you can see they are 5 days since being put in soil (didn't use paper towel germ, I just soaked them in water overnight then chucked them in seed raising soil). I can't get my soil for another 5 days to transplant into proper pots but some of the stems are already almost as long as the cups...

Those are the two things I'm thinking would be good to help the roots breath and stuff, I don't think I can find any perlite (looked everywhere, not ordering it off the internet) so something DIY will have to do. I'm wondering if anybody else has experience with mixing either of those into your...

Hi, I am doing a small grow in a box that is 90cm tall, 250cm long, and 45cm wide. The walls are covered with those reflective emergency blankets and I have 10 light sockets I can maneuver flexibly around the box independently of each other. My seeds are random/mixed genetics I bought off...

Sorry, wrong section I think. I reposted it here: https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/451336-my-first-cfl-grow-seeds.html#post6028934
