if you are transplanting to a larger container i would say the little amount of stress is well worth your plants getting a larger container which wil;l help your final yield.

use co2 at 1200 - 1500ppm and 80 -83 F is ideal temp not 75 or so with no Co2.

I agree with them HORTILUX is the best.

seal the room, use co2 tank open it up all the way, make sure the room is sealed the co2 level in the room has to reach 10,000ppm Co2, which will kill all mites and eggs.

I never grow a sativa dominant strain so no worries there. Flowering time is to long, loose money that way.

Oh yea they are purple. I don't think the plants care about the color of the ballast that is growing it. I would rather look at the purple to remind me what my colas are gonna look like in a few weeks.. But this is a fact that Lumatek does actually have a slightly more lumens when using...

you only lightly stress your plant when done correctly. I mean lightly too, The plant should be at least 8- 10 inches tall, spread the leaves where they split apart at the stem, feel real lightly there you will feel a vey small ball like, squeeze that ball tightly, the release. Plant is topped...

To top and stress your plant as lightly as you can. Do this by pulling the leaves apart, in the middle you will feel a little ball at the center of the leaves, squeeze that little ball and your plant is topped,. where they split. no cutting perfect top and very low stress.

I only run SOG so I top every plant I flower. Topped plants usually yield more as well, so of course I have to top to get the nice canopy I want over 64 plants.

I like the last post the best. It shows you know how to give the plant what it wants when it wants it, perfect color, super tight nodes, I can tell they are hefty from the pic. Kudos on that

I use lumatek digital 1000 watt ballast. I like that they are switchable to 240 with ease, but I have 4 of these have had them for 4 or so years. They have ran 12 hours everyday for those 4 years and have a zero problems with the ballast. I would change all hortilux bulbs every 2-3 opps. So...

Exactly someone that knows the right way. But trust me I have ended up with hermmie seeds from many seedbanks.

If your soil is hard already. I would not even start, you are walking to a rough time. So lets make it easy, got get light soil, I use sunshine mix, but if you do not have access to that, then you can go to your local garden center or lowes. But only buy soil that does not contain any...

for kizzurt not exactly, much more is involved. It can be done, but you can end up with a bunch of unwanted seeds in your flowers which I'm sure you would not want.

I have made many moms from feminized seeds. You just have to remember that the seeds came from a plant that hermed out in flowering, which pollenates itself forming feminized seeds in the colas. Some strains I never had an issue with a herm problem. But sometimes you can get burnt, so watch...
