Whether a seed is female or male is completely dependent on genetics. Stress can cause hermies on otherwise female plants, but 24hrs/day of light will not cause males or other stress problems. I've been using that light schedule for over 10 years and have never had a problem. And my veg...

You should also change to a 24/0 light schedule. I know you're going to hear people talk about how plants need a "rest" period, and that 18/6 is best, but the facts do not support that. Plants are not like humans in that they do not need to sleep or rest. The photosynthesis process will...

Yeah, your plants are still seedlings. I am confused tho. In your first post you said they are on the 3rd day of vegging. So which is it... 3 days, or 3 weeks? You are watering them way too much. You should allow the soil to almost completely dry out before watering them again. You want to...

You're going to need more light. Two 600w lights is not quite enough for a room that size. You would be better off adding another 600w system to your setup. Three 600w lights will give you better result than two 1000w lights will.

You should not be using any nutrients at this point. Seedlings are too sensitive to be given nutrients at this young age. Usually, you want to give them water only for the first 3 weeks of their life. Otherwise you will damage them and stunt their growth. Also, they look like they are...

Thanks for the link cruzer! This is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not sure what the difference is between this system and the one I originally linked to, but they appear to be the same. I don't want to pay for shipping all that shit, so I'll be buying it from my local hydro shop, and he...

Those are some nice looking buds... congrats on a great crop!

Well like I said, my containers are 3gal so when the soil is allowed to thoroughly dry out, it retains most of the water I give it. I usually have a few pints of run-off, but I have drains in my floor so it's not an issue for me. I slowly pour the water into the soil so that it can absorb...

It's all good my brotha... your plants look real nice so keep doing what you're doin! It's all about what works for you. Peace :-D

Yeah you can salvage these. Cut back your watering to about 5 days in between. And get that test kit ASAP so you can control the pH. Also I meant to ask you before, what are your temps and humidity like?

Dude, chill out... I wasn't bashing you. But what you said did not make sense and wasn't correct. It's not an opinion issue... it's a fact. But I wasn't attacking you personally. Maybe you should find some better chronic and chill the fuck out.

Whatsup brotha.... Like I said in the previous post, store-bought distilled water tends to have a pH that's a bit too high. For use in soil, you want your pH to be between 6.3-6.8 depending on the strain. My plants best thrive with a water pH of 6.3-6.5. Another thing to be aware of when...

Store-bought distilled water tends to have a pH on the high-side, usually around 8.0. You must go buy a pH test kit. You can get them for like $5 at WalMart or any other store that sells pool or garden supplies. It is critical that you are able to monitor and control the pH of your water...

There's no need to repot these yet. There's no signs of them being root-bound, and those cups have plenty of unused soil in them. If he cuts back on watering them, the roots will be encouraged to spread out in search of more water. FoxFarms "dirt" is NOT loaded with nutes. And Happy Frog is...

I've never grown that strain, but you can take measures to control the height if that is your main concern. Topping, LST, pinching, and tying are all effective ways to keep the height in check. Also, you can employ the use of a growth regulator like Bushmaster to halt vertical growth in favor...

It looks like it's overwatered, which is causing the droopiness. And the spotting on the leaves is most likely due to a pH problem. Do you know what the pH of your water is? Also, are you using tap water, or RO water? This makes a big difference...

You're never going to have a consistent 100% success rate germinating seeds. Even if you do everything perfectly, some seeds are just no good and won't sprout. But, if you buy fresh, quality seeds from a reputable dealer you should have about a 90% success rate if you do it properly. I use...

You gotta give us more to go on that just "whats wrong with this?" How often are you watering? What is the pH of your water? Are you using nutes? If you are, at what strength?

You'll get the most benefit from CO2 supplementation by using it during the flowering phase. And then only use it when the lights are on. Without a regulator and proper metering equipment, I have no idea how long you should keep the valve open. Generally, the air in a well-ventilated room has...

They are stretching because your lighting is insufficient. What sort of lights are you using, HPS/MH or Floros? If you are using florescent lights, tubes or CFLs, you want to move them down so they are about 2"-3" from the tops of your seedlings. If you are using a HID system, you have to be...
