Thanks guys. Dave, I like your style. My kief started the same color as in your guide, but finished dark brown. Maybe from too much heat? I don't know, but next time I'll use the hair straightener (finally found a use for that thing) and wax paper. When I read that a cellophane wrapper was to...

First let me say that I am inexperienced with hash. Until this incident I'd only tried it once, maybe 10 years ago. I don't remember anything about the way it tasted. Anyways, I recently finished my first grow and decided I'd make some hash with the trimmings. I did so using a silk screen to...

You can mix the CFLs and LEDs for sure. I've seen several people on here do so. My setup uses 14 of those 23 watters and I yielded 3 oz off the last grow. This time I'm doing a scrog so I expect 4 - 5 ozs. I made a fixture and reflector hood out of PVC and metal ducting. Works pretty well.

Hey Zubey what strain is that? That's one hell of a yield off little plants.

At 3 weeks the stretch should be about done. Get those lights closer if you can, like within a few inches. CFLs won't burn unless they're an inch or closer. She looks a little pale and would definitely benefit from some nutrition. Apply as poster above said. About 3 weeks from now she'll start...

Temps sound good. I'm not a big fan of spraying leaves but I live in a humid environment anyway. You just risk fungus and mold problems if you keep everything wet all the time. Bowl of water trick should do it. You've got to remember, bag seeds are nothing but question marks. What strain(s)...

Looks healthy to me. I haven't grown in something that small and I bet space is going to be an issue. I'd think you should probably start flowering no more than a month in, but I speak with no experience on the matter. People in the micro forum will know better. I hope it's a girl!

Don't top the autoflowers. Because of their set schedule, they won't have time for recovering from the topping and you'll lose yield. As for the others, I recommend topping twice to keep it bushy. That gives you 4 main colas. Once you've got the 3rd set of real leaves growing, top it above the...

Yea dude if you can, go with HPS. Most of us that grow with CFLs do so due to heat/height issues. In my case, I'm growing in a 5 x 4 x 2 box that just wouldn't be able fit an HPS, plants, and a 12" buffer in 4 feet of space. Not to mention issues with heat. I have to grow in a detached garage...

I use CFLs and do pretty well, but I have about 165 watt per plant. If I was to do it over again, I'd have designed my grow box to fit t5s. As it is, it's a couple inches too small :-(. I say this because t5s just seem easier. More options available as far as hoods and ballasts. With CFLs you...

Could be true, but I've had some that are reddish/purplish stemmed but outgrow it eventually. This applies to August and September when I could barely keep temps below 90 as well as now. That plant would majorly benefit from a lighting and potting upgrade, but I've seen plants that looked like...

Not bad dude. Like you said, more light will be great. It looks like you may be over watering a tad. Are there holes in the bottom of the pots for drainage?If not, poke some holes in em and either buy some drip trays or find something you can use for runoff. Plant still looks too young to sex.

Yea what the poster above said. Shelves gotta go. That'll be such a headache trying to grow in 8.5 inches. I can't imagine. It'd be hard to find a pot short enough, and then you'd have to train it sideways. It'll take a lot less work in the long run to cut those shelves out and have 1 nice...

Assuming you're using CFLs there's probably not much risk of fire. Obviously, don't have any sort of cloth directly touching the bulbs. If you can't keep the light out of the 12/12 chamber you probably need to scrap the idea of having multiple chambers. I've seen people have problems with...

I'd definitely go ahead and top those girls, then top again. 4 main colas flowered at 12-18" will probably give you a plant in the 30-40" range. Without topping, she can get beastly and harder to provide adequate lighting coverage with CFLs.

I've got 325 watts on two plants and wish I had more. That plant certainly won't realize its full potential with 56 watts. It would take a lot of light to max that girl out.

Looks good to me. Close to the same setup as me. No problems here. Good luck dude!

Just so you guys know this thread is over 2 years old. No sense in trying to help, those plants have been compost for months.

That's tricky. The location of the bud makes you think it'd be male. But it doesn't look like it's on a stem. Actually looks like a little calyx. I don't know dude, but you'll be able to tell for sure within a few days. Week at most. I will say this, you're gonna need more light. If that turns...

Pics will gain you not only more responses, but higher quality ones. Trust me on this one. Plants are like people. There's a million things that can go wrong and a handful that often do. Just the other day I had some turnips and rutabagas turning purple on me. Never had that problem. I'm...
