basically what belesar said. for that money you could build something better. but if you don't know how to do that, then the investment might be worth it.

how do actual cfl watts compare to mh, hps or hid watts?

i'd recommend putting 4 26w cfl's per square foot of grow area.

i've done this too. my current flowering crop started flowering as they were on my windowsill during the winter when young. the girls popped out a few hairs. i didn't let them see dark again until flowering. the new growth after being on 24 hour light didn't have hairs. i think you can put...

i'd recommend 12x 5 gallon pots. each plant requires a certain amount of maintenance, no matter how big or small. i'd rather have 12 problems to deal with every day than 36. second, the plants i've seen love 5 gallon pots alot more than smaller pots. third, if your grow isn't 100% legal, i'd...

stick with the 2700k bulbs. you can use the 6500k if you want but those are best for veg.

i think it's a girl but it's hard to say for sure from the pics. in my experiences, males are easiest to tell apart as they start growing balls before they even get to 12/12. do you see 2 pointy horns near the nodes? then female. do you see clawed-hand-like parts growing and opening up...

i had to deal with a similar issue. my water heater died and it was right next to my operation. at the time my installation wasn't mobile. my buddy helped me tear it down while i stashed plants in my bedroom. maintenance people won't go in your bedroom unless its absolutely required. take...

there are always a percentage that are duds no matter what you do. maximize your efforts on those that will provide the best return on investment.

i think the aquarium bulb is similar to the daylight bulbs, its probably about 5000-6000K

The grow looks even better. The CO2 treatment didn't hurt. There are more bud sites. The pre-existing bud sites are bigger. The clones all responded well too.

the MH is considered a "cool" bulb. blast the plants with that and supplement it with warm bulbs.

My friend had about 10lbs of extra dry ice. I was more than happy to help him dispose of it. I slightly rearranged the flowering tent to allow my veg-stage plants to squeeze in. I turned on all the lights and put the dry ice in a cooler in the center of the tent. I sealed up the intake and...

the plants are used to more red light, which the warm bulbs produce, during flowering. its due to the fact that sunlight is more red in the fall due to refraction in the atmosphere. so that is what the plant has evolved to expect. in my experiences the plants will love warm bulbs in veg too...

Today is day 14 flowering for #'s 23,25 and 27. They are progressing more and more rapidly with bud production. They are nearing 22" tall. They were watered about 24 hours ago with 0.5 gallon each w/ 3 drops of white vinegar, and 75% recommended strength of flowering nutes. 2 drops of...

yes, in order to keep expenses low, and give my girls a taste of the "real thing", i put them on my window sill on sunny days. Your girls should love it.

probably overwatering, its the problem 99% of the time. after hurting my crop too many times with too much food/water, i wait until my girls are dry and wilting before they get anything. make em beg like a dog and they appreciate it more. if not overwatering, you prolly have a pH issue.

i used the 2700k's for veg cuz they have a good lumen output. i had great results and you will too. i am now using those bulbs for flowering.

more airflow

i'd save the seed and start an operation in the new state. that way you will have time to do it right, avoiding the heartbreak of harvesting way too early.
