NEVER USE ALLUMINUM FOIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! White paint or mylar...foil could burn your plants. 3" is a good distance but if you can get closer...i get mine 1.5" away, but i also have a fan blowing on the lights to keep them cool. Using CFL's you want about 5 per plant...and try to have them in a pyamid shape to the plants so the sides get plenty of light as well...i went with 7 cfl's for my 1 plant and was quite amazed with the results.

If your going to give advice...GIVE ADVICE THAT'S RIGHT!!!!!

i've seen lot's of grow'boxes' that have foil around, so i thoguht it was right..
i've actually seen it quite alot.
so it's not as if i was trying to sabbotage his plant.
most of your post seemed to agree with the rest of mine though..
peace

Just cause you see it don't make it right...lmao!! Aluminum foil is the worst to put up. Most people put it up not knowing the damages that it can cause. It creates heat spots and can magnify heat spots onto the plant and burn holes right through your poor babies.

true, I was just on my way to the local grow shop today and had a similar thought. Like how inconvenient it must be not to have a grow shop in your area. My sympathy goes out for those growers. I mean not only the ability to get my ferts and supplies fast, the people that run the shop i go to know so much about growing. anyway MYLAR

lol Ohhh man. That sucks. Sorry to see that. Yup, you got a dude. With huge balls.
I know your pain. :(

A clear picture would be nice. It could be a hermaphrodite but I dont think so.

lol damn that sucks. sorry i didnt know how to turn the flash off on my camera so the pictures weren't as clear as they could have been, but im pretty sure its 100% male because at all the node sites the flowers look like that. But umm would i be able to harvest and smoke it like normal even though its a male? I've heard it will be less potent but is that the only drawback or are the flowers not smokeable?

i would just chop it and start over bro... and your next run will be even better with the new knowledge you got and you can start flowering sooner this time. Male plant is pretty much useless for smoking...in my humble opinion

I took the flowers that were in my pictures off and im gonna let those dry out and see how I like them. If there no good I guess I'll just chop the plant down and start some new ones but if there alright I'll let the other buds get bigger and just harvest it.

Yeah. I guaranty your gonna cough up a lung and get a stomach ache but go for it man.
Yeah I would suggest going online and spending a little money and getting fem seeds and that way you wont have any worries about another male. Nirvana has the best prices. I just got some. It took about 11 days from the day I ordered. Ill let you know how they do. Im sure Ill start a thread.

I have to drive 1.5 hours to get to a hydro store, but usually i just wait till i go visit the gf's parents and go to a place up there instead...cheaper and better products.

Yeah the top buds got be kinda stoned but the rest of the plant wasn't worth anything so i threw it out. I heard from someone though that you could give the male plant certain vitamins or something and convert it from male to hermie? does anyone know anything about that?
