Only 5 plants, your 250 HPS is fine for flowering. However, if your going to use the 150 for veg, I would strongly suggest getting a 150 Metal Hallide bulb for it. MH provides a much more efficient light spectrum for vegetative growth than HPS does. It will definitely be worth the cost in the...

You do realize 1 - He never said it was grown by the sun 2 - Your a waste of space for displaying such flagrant douschbagery and 3 - You did nothing to answer his question, just wasted a post Answer : It is mostly sativa and you need to wait... a while... my guess is 5-6 weeks

Ya sorry, I only have an old camcorder... The pistils are prolly 10% brown, 60-70% orange, and 20-30% still white. The trichs seem cloudy but its hard for me to tell, they are definitely not amber. I am looking for a heady high so i know I need to harvest early, I was just wondering if it was...

I was wondering if its time to harvest, 1st time grow... I have a 30x magnifyer, and i believe the trichs are cloudy now but its hard to say for sure, I want a "heady" high, is it ready to harvest?

by the way... Your plant look really good, what kind of lighting are you using? Good luck on the grow, and keep the pics comin.

Definitely not ready yet... Nobody will be able to tell you the exact strain but it does look mostly sativa due to the long "fingerlike" leaves, I would guess 30/70 Indica/Sativa mix. As far as harvesting, you would be wasting alot of time a product if you harvest now, sativa strains can take...

Liquid or granular ferts should be diluted for the first 2 weeks of use

Fox farms ferts are some of the most complete ferts on the market. If you are not going to add anything to your watering mixture, I would recommend fox farms. However if money is an issue you can mix your own ferts for much less cost. Normal miracle grow all purpose plant food has an npk of...

The 1000 is definitely worth it for flowering if you are growing plants bigger than 2 ft tall, the 1k has so much more penetration for bigger plants. Your plants look a little shocked, probably from the change in lighting, but should recover quickly and be just fine in no time. Splitting...

You are going to get what you pay for in most cases concerning ph meters. The flouro tubes are a very good idea simply because putting up numerous cfls around the sides can be costly and time consuming. As far as having the flouros on the sides, that is fine, you are right that it might not...

Depending on how big your grow room is I would suggest buying a HPS/MH conversion lighting fixture and bulbs, along with a good reflecting hood. If you want to harvest twice as often get two fixtures, separate the shed into 2 sections. Get a metal halide bulb, 250 watts should be good to veg...

Thanks for the response Poutin... I have found them to be very worth while as long as they are kept close... Being so small I can position them easily, especially the hanging ones, keeping them only inches away from almost all the budding sites.

Too true that the unknowledgeable people are posting too much... Very good info, thanks for having the pictures to bad my words...

If you're going to use a fertilizer make sure to dilute it tho, use it at half strength of what it recommends at least for the first few weeks you feed it to your baby.

You could use a fertilizer with alot of Nitrogen in it at this early stage, especially if it's size has been stunted. A fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of something like 20-10-10 is good or 15-10-10 is good for the vegetative growth period. Also if money is not an issue, you can buy a small...

Nobody? I know there are strictly CFL growers out there that have probably tried with only 23 watters.

That is true, for the cost of running the 250 watt hps and 10x23 = 230 watt cfls. You would be running 480 watts flowering. 150 watt hps and 8x23 = 184 watt cfls and 334 for vegging. A total of 814 watts. You could get a 600 hps for flowering and a 250 watt Metal Hallide replacement bulb for...

Also the smaller the plant the more % of the yield will be on the main cola(s). The smaller the plant the smaller the main cola(s) So if you want to grow more mass/cola, grow a bigger plant.

You don't need to veg til 20"!!! That is bs, I need to keep my plants small due to space constraints, I only veg til they are about 12-14" and they flower to be 22-24" with decent yields. You can grow 14-18" plants if you start the flowering cycle when the plant has its 5th internode, usually...

It is possible to grow dense bud, not "wispy" or "fluffy" using ONLY cfls, therefore I do not foresee you having a problem supplementing with cfls, but keep in mind the side lighting will take up space in the grow rooms and wont travel very far if your only getting the standard 23 watt cfls
