watch out for the 3100k(closer to green light), wont help you too much...try for the 6500k(closer to Blue) for veg, and the 2700k(closer to red) for flower if possible when using flouros or cfl's.

I hear a lot of bad things about MG, just wondering how many others have used it without any problems. I used MG Pro Potting Mix, MG all purpose plant food(24-8-16) and MG Bloom Booster flower food(15-30-15).

sounds like it should work, just make sure you keep the light as close to 12/12 as you can...It should take from 7-11 weeks to finish flowering depending on strain...If it is mainly indica I would expect it to take 7-9 weeks...if its mainly sativa I would expect it to take 9-11 weeks...How long...

Usually with spider mites you can see them with the naked eye, look for either black dots(adult spider mites) or white dots(juvenile spider mites) usually on the undersides of the leaves. That may only be for the more common two spotted spider mites.If you actually look closely at the two...

good post...

I don't think you need the grow big anymore, you can use both tiger bloom and big bloom, just make sure you don't over fertilize. I think you can continually increase the dosage with each feeding.(someone with a little more experience should be able to tell you how much is safe to increase)...

I wouldn't recommend topping during flower, you will lose a lot of bud...In the early stage of flower before its done with its growth spurt, it would probably be ok, but the intent when topping is to get 2 or more colas. Much better results if you give the tops time to grow out before flowering...

It looks like a hermie to me...I have heard the same thing pollinate a female with the pollen from a hermie will make feminized seeds.(have never tried it myself) If I was going to try it, I would take the hermie out of the room as soon as I saw any sign that a pollen sack had opened(to try and...

Couldn't agree with you more...More than likely that site that has it rated as a 10 probably has 1 rating on it from one persons perspective...I highly doubt every person who rates it would rate a 10(since it does say its an average, the only way that would work is for every person to have rated...

I don't smell it much, but I think its because I'm used to it. Has a strong smell up close though.

lol, I will let the ignorant teach...go back and pass highschool(and hopefully go to college)...If you leave room for others to misinterpret, that is a flaw in the way you express yourself...I do not have the time to try and communicate with someone who can only try to argue with my attitude...

lol, didn't realize how old this thread was...

certain methods of quick drying will turn your bud black, some methods brown...when a bud is cured right it should not be too bright green(depending on strain), when cured properly the most of the chlorophyll(the green color in plants that is used to absorb light via the leaves) should be...

lol, thats why I guessed, I don't know for sure...I have just read not to expect much more than a gram per watt with cfl's

I would guess around 100 grams total if all is done right,from what I have read about yields with cfl's many say that with fluorescents you should get close to a gram per watt...26wattsx4=104...

the mesh shelf/fence would work well to keep them as close to the cfl's as possible for the entire grow(cfl's can burn your plants, but nearly have to be touching) It is best to keep them within 1-2 inches if possible.

you will get more lumens(and more than likely less heat) with the cfl grow(lumens also diminish faster with distance with cfl's) 3000-4000 lumens for a 50 watt HPS(couldn't find the specs for that particular one, these are ranges I found) The color of the bulb is better for flowering than it is...

I'm using Miracle Grow Potting Mix(not good) I don't know about the organic choice... I here a lot of people like fox farm's Ocean Forest(can usually get at most hydro shops) but I haven't used it(I will with my next grow) Usually you can find something with a good mix of perlite at the hydro...

more than likely your leaves got wider and the plant grew faster because it wanted more light... If your plant has enough light it should grow nice and compact(not searching for light) Wider leaves does not mean a better plant lol...mostly has to do with strain, but plants adapt to survive, the...

18 hours on(uninterrupted) 6 hours off(uninterrupted) or 24 hours on do that for as long as you want them in the vegetative stage...switch to 12 hours on (uninterrupted)12 hours off(uninterrupted) to flower. 6500k and 2700k will indicate the color put off by the light... You should have proper...
