This is the one I use for flowering, the reddish ones. These get pretty warm, so make sure you have good air circulation. Remember, give it more blueish light for growing and more reddish light for flowering. And it couldnt hurt to mix and match different colored bulbs. Have fun with it...

This is correct... The daylight, warm white, bright white, etc, labels change from company to company. The only way you can be sure is to find the degrees Kelvin (2700K-6500K) on the packaging and see for yourself. You are also correct in that you cant tell what color they are going to be...

Any branch, or top, that is about 5-8 inches long or about 5-6 nodes. Though small branches (as little as three nodes) can be cloned, they'll take a little longer to take off and are quite delicate. I try not to cut anything off the plant when im flowering. I like to stress her as little as...

These are the two types of bulbs I use. The one im holding on the left is the low wattage 6500K bulb. The one on the right is the higher wattage 2700K. See how this one shines more blue. Thats the 6500K and offers more of the right spectrum for vigorous growth. I like to mix these with some...

Wattage is the amount of power the light consumes and the number with the K is color temprature (the higher the number the more blue, lower number more red). You can find each color in higher or lower wattage bulbs. Since light power = bigger buds, I use more power in the flowering stage...

Monitoring temps is very important when using those HID lights. Depending on strain these, plants can thrive in temps from 50-90 degrees F (depending on ventilation). Try to keep your daytime temps under 80 and nighttime temps over 60. Basically, if it's a comfortable temp for you then your...

I see signs of heat stress, nutrient issues and overwatering.... What are you feeding them? What kind of lights are you using? How close are the lights? How many hours of light and dark are you giving them? What kind of soil are they in? How old are they?

The nutes you are using now are perfect for flowering. Next time, find a fert that is higher in N for vegging ( something like 10-5-8 ). This might be the reason for the stunting you noticed and the yellowing of the leaves. I even add an extra shot of Botnicare Cal-Mag (2-0-0) to my mix for...

while some people grow from seed at 12/12, you're yeild prolly wouldnt be what ur looking for... longer veg = bigger yeild (to a point, depending on conditions and strain). Veg it out until you start to see new growth of the the leaves no longer growing across from eachother. Its called...

I can tell from ur pics that you have your light too far away, as ur plant is WAY stretched. One CFL is fine for now but you will need more as ur plant gets bigger. I currently have 4 CFL's on a 2ft plant and I'm gonna need more.

yes you can do this, BUT switching the cycles like that can stress out a plant and they might herm on you come flower time. This wouldnt happen anywhere in nature. It will also set you back a few weeks of growth. The best thing to do, if you really cant wait, is to cover up one of the...

Referring to regular CFL (cfl stands for Compact Flourescent Lighting) bulbs. I only grow one or two plants at a time and 6500K CFLs are perfect for vegging. I also flower with higher wattage 2700K CFLs, but I get ALOT of popcorn low on the plant come harvest.

Put them in a bigger res and dont get rid of the one plant doing poorly. You should be keeping the water level consistent. I use a 5gallon bucket for one plant. I only have to add water two or three times a week. A 2.5 gallon bucket does just as well, but you'd have to add water more often...

they do make 6500k in the regular screw in light bulbs. Lowes, Home Depot has them. They're not hard to find.

Those are the light schedules. Depending on who you ask, 24 hours of light and 0 dark is the best to veg plants. This would be referred to as 24/0. Other people prefer to give them a rest and put them on on/off schedules, like 20/4, 18/6, 16/8.

I've tried growing outside, in the woods, around here in New England (CT).. All I ever end up with is tall, lanky, super stretched plants and popcorn buds. The first frost also comes too early to let a plant reach it's full potential outside. Finding a safe clearing that receives the right...

The yellowing could be the result of Nitrogen def or overwatering. Do you know the pH of your soil? If its too high or low, you could be experiencing lockout of certian nutrients.

miracle grow soil is notorious for burning seedlings, usually more nutes then the lil plants can handle.

Looks like you are overwatering them. What is your watering schedule/how do you tell when they need water. Also, cut back on the foilar feeding and just feed grow nutes every third watering. Unfortunatly, with this plant, too much love is usually the problem.

some strains will show preflowers during veg, though they wont start their photoperiod unless they recieve 12 or more hours of dark a day (or if they are an autoflower strain)
