I recommend getting or using 32 6500k cfl maybe like 4-6 for a 2x2 area for the vegging and adding some 2700k bulbs for flowering, more lights=more growth. Most cfls put out lumens 1-2 inches away from bulb any farther they decrease rapidly so have the plant close and have a fan blowing past the...

Was talking to a friend he was saying something about let the plant dry before flush then after a day or 2 let it go back in water so it can soak up the water after it fully used the nutes inside the plant. Idk if it will increase taste but going to try I will get back to you in 3 weeks when im...

From Seed it takes around 30 days for the plant to become mature. When the plant is mature you will be able to tell the sex of the plant usually starts at the top of the plant and works its way down. Female will have 2 hairs/pistils like bud, and a male will have a scorpion tail(Water droplet...

Dam 45 days veg they must be huge, I vegged for 3 weeks and my dwc is 3 feet compared to my soil babies that are 2 weeks older sitting at 2 feet. For the next ones do you plan on vegging them the same?

Thanks, thought it could use it after being in the same soil for at least 2 months guess not.

Nutrient deficiency or nutrient burn anyone?

Is that under a hps light if so move it out of the light and check the plant. The hps light can be tricksters. Also, is there enough light to reach the bottom? Cause I have some plants they have a couple of branches that dont get light any more so they turn kinda like a neon green color.

The stem represents the root mass. So if you want huge stems help the roots.

While turning the mother plant I found some nasty looking leaves. This plant is in a 7 gallon grow bag fox farm soil, she is a bit over 3 months old. These leaves are at the top of the plant maybe 3- 4 nodes down. A week ago I gave her some nutrients 2.5ml a gallon of cutting edge solutions...

Wow Im glad I found this, subscribed. Wooden Pallets great idea for wood +rep. 2010 is going to be a stinky year :)

the first pic where my finger is, is where I topped the plant thats probly 1 1/2 weeks of growth after topping under a 600w hps then put under cfls . The second pick was to show you what a node was but cruzer beat me to it, and its the stem of the plant in the picture, there is probly 2 or more...

So you decided to Top to gain a clone. I would top it so the top when your done is about 5-6" which would probably be 3-5 nodes strip the bottom nodes so you have enough stem to go into soil I would say 1-2"make sure to coat that entire part with the rooting gel since where ever the gel goes...

First pic where I topped the plant, second pic the stem with 3 nodes 1 under ground and 2 above ground you can see where I cut the leaves off to promote ventilation, and the third pic ending result. Yes Cruzer is right its better to take clones from the lower part Ive had 100% success cloning...

Yes the nodes are where leaves poke out at and new growth usually forms above the leaf petiole connecting point to the stem. Heres some pics of my mother plant that was a seed(even distribution). The main point of topping and fimming is forcing the plants hormones to go somewhere else and to get...

I would suggest try fimming if it doesnt work you can always top, thats what I did since I didnt cut enough of the new leaves to halt it growing upwards and the leaves I cut where missing the tips. So I topped it a few days later and now I have at least 4 main tops and another 8 semi tops...
