    how much longer till..

    Can't really tell how tall they are, but shouldn't be much longer... most of mine have nearly tripled in size when they went from 24/7 light to 12/12... keep that in mind... i usually switch at a little over a foot tall. they usually end up 2 feet + depending on strain... goodluck growing!

    which lights should i get?

    I was in your perdicament this time last year... not quite the same, but a similar situation... personally, i think you're gonna be really upset if you just use CFL's trying to flower out 3-4 plants... and 3-4 plants is gonna be really crowded in that metal cabinet. I'd definately get the HPS...

    Everybody Please Contribute Your Opinion !!

    If you're a newb, i'd definately try something simple and cheap to start off with... You really don't need anything hightech or some super nutrients... you can get great yields from a decent bag of potting soil, some clean water, and the right amount of light (sunlight works best) If you aren't...

    secret to fat buds

    I agree with Little Tommy... just like Tomatoe plants, they need really good circulation, and overcrowding is like when you stuff a bunch of people onto a subway car, it's just not comfortable. Plus if light can't penetrate the canopy it doesn't matter how powerful it is. try some controlled...

    Indoor/outdoor

    in simple terms YES! be more specific as to the lights you have hps, cfl, mh, how many watts? if they're vegging under a fluoro i'd keep them on 24/7 personally but that's up to you... when you bring plants from indoors to outdoors you have to harden them off, 1 hour for a few days, then go up...

    Newbie Light Questions...

    Yeah, CFL's are the sprial ones... you need the ones that make a blue/white color when they're on... if you really want to make things worth while i'd sac up and get the high pressure sodium light from home depot... might cost a little more but it's worth it in the end. good luck growing and...

    Cleaners that work??

    The Stuff that they used to sell at Smoothie King worked for everyone i know, but i totally agree with Socata...I had a court drug test a couple years back and didn't even risk it, gave up my beloved Mary J for 3 months and promptly resumed... if i had risked it and gotten caught it would've...

    So all my blunt smokers

    I used to pay $1.25 a piece for wraps and blunts at any gas station, but some new Arabs moved into the local gas station and offer wraps @ 2/$1... good selection too... Bong = $350.... i'd love a bong but it's too big to bring in the car and i'd be distraught if it broke on me

    My plants are in trouble!!!

    I can almost guarantee that those plants got too much nutes... WAY too young to be feeding them, and feeding them way too often... Those babies only need to be fed likes once every other week depending on how frequent they get watered... I'd flush with regular water a few times in a row and make...

    using CFLs to veg then HPS to flower?

    How big is your HPS? you could grow them all the way through with the HPS and add in the cfl's for side lighting, etc... My first few grows which were CFL, i used 8 of the 26 W, and that started 4 plants, but i put them under HPS before they got above a foot tall... I'd use HPS the whole time...

    help help help me REALLY fast.

    Theoretically....Yes, but i'd toss it... you can sprout a new one 10 times quicker than it would take you to rehab that thing... if you started the plant indoors, don't take it out into full sunlight until it has 4 or 5 "sets" of leaves not just individual leaves. Be patient man, it takes a...

    has anyone

    but they don't just pull a tobacco leaf off the plant and roll it up, it's processed first into a paper.... I bet if you found the right process you could start a business selling weed rolling papers!

    strains and cfl watts

    All plants look different whether it be color variations, flower to leaf ratio, height, etc... It's almost impossible to give a realistic estimation of any kind of dried weight because every plant is so different and growing conditions differ so much. Best thing to do is look at grow journals...
