I've got a 125 watt cfl ecolite. I started in a small cupboard but when I put that light in there I noticed it put off a lot more heat than your smaller wattage cfl's. I kept mine about 3 inches away untill they got too big then I moved it to a bigger closet... it seems to be ok from 3 - 3.5...

I'm pretty sure that most of us use a 2700k light with a 12/12 cycle specifically because we want to see white hairs. is that plant an early girl? isn't that what they do? (flower early I mean) I thought that was how it got its name.

keep her on 12/12 since she's already flowering pretty nicely

if you have a grow shop you can probably find a nice big 105+ watt cfl that'll do the job when it's time to flower. if not check these guys http://www.1000bulbs.com/Compact-Fluorescents/

I'm assuming that by regular light you mean a round incandescent bulb? You'd be better off getting one or two cfl's from walmart. they're super cheap, just make sure you get a cool white bulb or something similar (6500k) and if you're trying to do it cheap then you could keep them in the window...

Yeah, I agree. You've got enough of the right kind of light to veg 1-3 plants but when you start to flower get a whole bunch of low wattage low kelvin bulbs rather than the big 100+ watt bulbs. I think they put out too much heat.

You're right he was being an ass but I woke up this morning with some of that white surface mold on my soil and your responce was helpful.

I've got three plants in full flowering mode and I don't know how I did it but I've flooded them and the soil is now packed down and muddy. the soil's still wet, it seems like the roots aren't getting any air. what can I do? I thought about taking them out of their pots and puting them in...

If it is an auto strain you don't change the photoperiod, just keep it in 18/6 with dual spectrum bulbs and it will flower nicely on its own. If it is not an auto flowering strain then you can keep it in veg as long as you like, just keep in mind that it will almost tripple in size after you...

I've had my plants in 12/12 for a while now and all of them are flowering. one of which has grown too tall and was getting burnt on the lights so I read every opinion I could find and it seemed like for everyone who said I couldn't tie it down there was someone else who said I could. So I did...

I have one 125 watt cfl, 2700k I can only guess the lumens as it wasn't marked anywhere on the lamp or packaging but i'd guestimate it about 6500 lumens and two 23 watt 2700k putting out 1250lumens each. I just popped in a lil 18 watt 5600k as was reccomended by another member. I have 3 plants...

thanks, I found it at my local grow shop npk 2-10-3. sounds perfect should I just throw it in when I mix up my regular feed?

I've got a little organic soil grow in my cupboard under cfl @ 12/12 for 4 weeks now and just started seeing pistils but they seem to be flowering pretty slowly. I'm using canna bio flores and bio boost. the feed has an npk of 2-2.5-5 and the boost doesn't tell an npk. do I need to get some...

should I add more lights?

No idea what strain, I just found 'em in a bag. here's a few pics. there are a lot more on my profile. they're kinda crappy quality picz though

I'm growing three plants under cfl's, I've been in the 12/12 cycle for 4 weeks under one 125 watt and two 23 watt 2700k bulbs. only one plant is flowering. I'm thinking about just pulling the other two out and sticking them in a window or something so I can focus all of my light on the one...

Ok, I'm no expert but my understanding is that a female produces flowers, resin and thc as a means of catching male pollen and that once she gets pollinated she stops focusing so much on producing flowers, thc etc. and instead turns her energy towards producing seeds. So basically if you want...

wouldn't the fact that I changed the photoperiod more than two weeks ago slow down sexing if it is an auto flowering strain?

intro: my name is Gallo (rooster) from Los Angeles but currently living abroad. I'm new and this seemed like a good place to get help and advice. I found some seeds in a nice bag a while back and decided to make a go of this so I germinated them in a paper towel and planted in soil I'm...
