Keep one isolated, take some pollen from it and very carefully pollenate one of the gurlz. Get yourself some serious seed stash. You can safely do one or two branches of a female and leave the rest sensimilla.

You can reveg at pretty much any time up to and including harvest time. Some folks actually get a second harvest of sorts out of plants by doing just that. Put them back on a 18/6 schedule. It will take a long time and you will have some messed up looking plants but it can be done. Yours at only...

Noot burn and looks quite done to me! When you have 85% brown hairs or more it is probably done and not going to get much better and certainly no bigger at this point. Whack 'em, smoke 'em, plant some mo'. Plus, you should back off on nutes altogether a week or so out and just flush with...

I leave the hole open on all plantings, whether clones or seeds to allow Oxygen to get to the starts. You run the risk of killing the sprout or cutting by closing off the hole. They need Oxy right from the get-go. As for the paper towel, if they have not already broken open, drop them into your...

With all the hassle getting seeds, why not let one of your boyz get it on with one of the gurlz, very controlled "get it on" of course and end up with some seeds. If you let a gurl get knocked up she will put all her energy into producing seeds and the bud will not be near as potent, even with...

Be careful not to over water and keep them propped up if they reach for the light and fall over. Try to get them as close to the light as you can so they don't have to reach. Any yellowing of a leaf at this stage is not good. Keep them damp but not soggy, no nutes until transplanted and given a...

Like I said, cut off the bottom branches if they appear wimpy but make clones out of them. You can cut off lower branches up to the harvest stage but try to do it in the first three or four weeks of flowering. But leave the fan leaves unless they appear dead.

If you are set on rotating your crops, do it once a week at most. Not every two hours. Jeez, don't you folks have a life? Leave those plants alone to grow on their own. You can kill with kindness, the most common problem amongst noobs.

If you want full-fledged veg, then the flouros are not the answer. They are great for seedlings and cuttings but not for full growth. Plants will grow but not as robust as a more intense light. If you want two "hot" chambers then have matching lights in each as both processes require a lot of...

Greengrow, you are getting tons of advice, some good, some not so good. Let me give you my two cents worth. Firstly, I use Oasis Hydro cubes Oasis® Horticubes which are much easier to use than rock wool. This is not rocket science as you are working with WEEDS! Don't try to be so damned...

A little pruning off the bottoms is okay but only the wimpy BRANCHES that you can see aren't going to produce much at all. These make great clones so save them. Don't prune off the fan leaves, even if you think a bud below is blocked from the light bulb. Light is getting to it, albeit not as...

get it almost dry, put in zip loc bags and into your freezer. When you need some, pull it out, air it for a day, and presto, you have long term storage. Good for up to a couple of years or more if kept frozen. No mold issues and the taste actually improves over time. You don't need to keep it in...

I think they are 40's. Nothing super, just cheap flouro's but they do the trick real well for your situation. All your talking about here is getting your little starts up and running and kept alive and well until they can be put under the big light and veged and flowered. Plus, you can keep a...

You have to be careful stripping the fan leaves in this process as that is how a lot of the THC-carrying sugars are produced. You would be amazed at how close plants can be grown and still produce a bunch of fine buds. If you do take the bottom branches, obviously look for the ones that are...

Use a cheap flouro for this process but do try to get a heat mat to put under your seedling tray, keep moisture in the tray at all times with the cover on. These are available at any greenhouse or garden supply store near you. Don't start your seeds under full hot lights, even the 400. A 40 w...

Dude, forget the cfl's or whatever. Just go to H. Depot or Lowe's, buy a cheap shop light fixture ($10-$15), either 24" or 48", buy two gro bulbs of the most full spectrum you can find at the big box stores but simple Gro-Lux will do fine (a few bucks each, depending on length) maybe a timer...

Not necessarily. Look into training your plants to grow horizontal. Actually quite easy, especially outdoors. If they get up to the lights, simply pull them gently down with garden-tie or string or ? to stakes or whatever. You attach tie-down just below the tip, careful not to snap it off, and...

18x7, my bad!

First, I recommend that you get some product called Oasis. It is a foam type cube material, similar to rock wool but much better IMHO. It comes in sheets of 30-1 1/2" cubes with a hole in the center about 1/2" deep. (I punch two holes in them to get two plants in one cube using a chop stick)...

Grow Lux for "okay" and Agrosun Full Spectum's for a few dollars more but way better and more light. These are great as they don't make a plant really take off but stay very much alive, just way slow. You can let the plants get right up to the light bulbs with no problems as there is very little...
