for clones, i like to use 20/4. when the lights are on, the foliage grows. when the lights are off, the roots grow. since the clones need to be rooted asap, i like to give it a short dark period to establish a strong root system, then i can go back to 24/0 if i want to.

hey, great start. they're only going to get as tall as you want them to. since you have a lot of space, you probably don't want to lst, but you can use other methods of training that will increase your yield. are you going to use the t5's thoughout your whole grow or are you going to change to...

especially with cfl's i don't think you should be worrying about giving the plants too much light. i had 2 seedlings under 2 27w each and they loved it. especially because it doesn't give off a lot of heat, i sometimes came home and saw that the leaves were touching the bulbs! you should water...

i have never seen them sold at hydro stores, but they have their own website. http://www.ecogrow.com/index.cfm/mid/10/nid/39/EcogrowNutrients.html although i have never used ecogrow before, i have heard some people have great results. i have always used the Advanced Nutrients Sensi 2 part nutes...

from my experience, droopy leaves comes from over-watering. How often are you watering and with how much? Are you using nutes? I don't think 2 27w cfl's is too much light.

1. for your veg room, use metal halide lamps. for your flowering rooms, use high pressure sodium lamps. I would personally go with 5-600w for a more versatile setup (ie you can adjust them easier), but if you don't want it to be too cluttered, go with 3-1000w. they'll both work. 2. there is no...

all autoflowering plants grow at about the same speed and i don't think you can get any faster. it can usually be harvested within 8-9 weeks. in terms of high yield, it all depends on how well you take care of the plant. i've only grown 1 cycle of 3 autoflowering white russian from attitude and...

the bulb will only work with a ballast designed for that wattage and type of bulb. im sorry but there is no easy and effective way of getting around this.

if it's not yellow, it's most likely from over-watering, although it may be from under-watering but it's more uncommon. how often do you water your plants and what kind of medium are you growing in? the more details the better.

do you know what kind of nutes you are going to use? one key thing to remember about the autoflowering plants is that it flowers no matter what the light cycle is. i've only grown 2 auto plants once and i used a 20/4 under a 400w hps and the buds were dense and was ultimately satisfied with the...

they work, but you won't get the best results. the ferts you picked out as joefo53 said, are chemicals. they will help your plant grow, but you will have to be careful not to burn them by feeding them too much and you're going to have to flush the plant REALLY well a while before you harvest...

for just a minimal/basic grow you need the two biggies: nutrients and light you can easily get a quart of Pure Blend Pro Grow/Bloom for around $30. As with lights, the more you initially invest in good lights, the bigger payout in the future. Good lights=bigger yield. My experience with a 400w...

since they're still pretty young seedlings, I believe that foliar feeding would not be the most efficient way to feed them. Not only is there tiny surface area for the nutrients to go into the leaves, but they are pretty young and even if diluted, maybe a little too strong. I would personally go...

yup but try not to go below 18 hours of light during veg.

what kind of lights are you using? seedlings stretch like yours because of lack of light. a quick fix would be to just get some cfl's and bring them within inches of the plant or either some hid lights to stop the stretching even more. if you want to fix it completely, you can gently lift your...

um a healthy sprout looks like any normal sprout. it might have a red stalk that'll change later. It should have (or will) have 2 round leaves (cotyledons) and most importantly, it should be growing up :P. I don't know what else to say. If it looks healthy, it's healthy. If the leaves are dying...

some pictures would help a lot. are the leaves brown or green? im assuming you're in soil and did you check the ph? what kind of nutes are you using and how much?

i usually don't water during dark because during the dark period, it's when the roots grow the most as opposed to during light, when the leaves grow the most. I like my roots to "reach" for water to establish a strong root system. If you have to water during night, you can always use a green led...

those are some great pics. What strain is that and makes me wish i had a good camera. (the second one is the best! :D) thanks for sharing!

why is the watering can out of the question? Is it that dense that one with a long/pointy spout cant water? My only other idea is that you can carefully clear some small areas and stick a maybe some 1" pvc tube a few inches into the soil and just pour water through that whenever you need to...
