I think I did explain I use the 400w'ers because the height from ground to ceiling is about 5-1/2 ft. unfortunately 1000w would burn up my plants. also, I have access to a practically unlimited amount of 400w ballasts and bulbs. can't pass up free right? as far as your comment about...

yeah you sould prolly move the light up a bit, how close are you to them, what's the temp at the canopy of the plants, not just the room temp...

wussup brother, sorry my internet was ef'd up this weekend... you bot some fans on those babies yet? the look a little heat stressed, other than that they look good

let me ponder on this, i'll answer when I get home and have more time.

good catch ;-) thanks for calling me out dude! j/k, but for the protection of myself, i'm trying to be as vauge, and deceptive to the actual amount of plants I keep. and I don't think you read that correctly, I use 400w ballasts, plural...

thanks potpimp...! I pride myself on the health and the quality of my babies! it a great setup, with countless possibilities, SoG is an efficient and quicker way to turn yields, and if you perpetualize it, your never waiting for fresh smoke or harvest! i'll take some more pics today, give...

no, I don't need an ro setup, I have pretty neutral tap water. I use water with a rotting solution and a rooting gel, probably don't need the gel but I use it for good luck (old habits die hard)

that 2 weeks you are referring to happens no matter what size/age you start flowering. it takes about 2 weeks for a plant to change over from veg to flower, that is the plants last stretch before vertical growth stops.

I would say yor miracle grow and food spikes are up... like I stated above, your plant will use up its stored nitrogen first, since that is the easiest transferable nutrient to the plant. suppliment some N up until the last 1-2 week, then flush with a very mild flower solution to just plain...

wait a min, you might be on to something here... what if cannabis WAS to grow wild again... I wonder what it would take to start an uprising... they couldnt possibly EVER controll every crop. start in corn fields, let the seeds just germinate and transplant naturally, we would probably get...

your lookin good big guy! I hope your not nute'ing them yet, they probably got another week or so before they need food. they prolly just got too hot, put up a fan or two to keep the fresh air and fresh CO2 filtering.

thanks for the vote of confidence hiesman, if you have any questions about SOG let me know, I have just a bit of experience. I would also be interested in seeing your results... FYI everyone, my next cycle of clones I will flower at 3-4" to get this experiment going... s/b a couple more...

ok, I see your point, but just to play devils advocate I have a response... isn't a plant final product/potential decided by its genes? meaning if you were to do the best job growing a plant as you possibly could, you couldn't make it more potent, or yield more than is pre-determined by its...

get some pix up asap, no way to tell without a visual big guy...

oh boy... my suggestion to you would be red a lot, there are FAQ's here, along with many threads with endless amounts of information... THEN find your local indoor grow shop, they will be able to show and teach you a lot. their information is invaluable... be as descrete and polite as...

for a beginner, who is still learning, I would watch the top, as the top layer of the soil won't dry untill the layer of soil underneath is dry beneath it, and so on and so forth, your medium is a spunge, if ther IS moisture in your medium, it will be pulled to any dry spots, if you notice dry...

ok guys, i'm not sure who is following this thread still (hopefully everyone!) but after my conversation with upinchronic1 about the "mini forest" technique I got to thinking... now I know SOG and SCROG are already ultra efficient, but what about for cats that have limited headroom, would one...

wait, so you only have the bulbs, no ballasts?

I think the birth cycle of the spider mites is 4-5 day (if anyone cane chime in that would be great) but you want to make sure you kill them AS SOON as they hatch, otherwise they will lay more eggs before you kill them. if the get to lay more than a few generations they will atart to build...

you can also tell by pistil color, once about 75% of the pistils are dried up is ABOUT time to pick, the trichomes are the only way to SEE the ripeness...
