From motacos' "Ultimate Sativa Thread" revival at icmag, emphasis mine: "The amount of nutes you feed your sativa is also going to effect how long it flowers to a pretty dramatic amount in some cases. This is another place people try to grow sativas like indicas. With a hybrid plant as we all...

I read last night, I'll be damned if I can find it again, about sativas having different needs to encourage finishing. Like, if indicas are signaled by shortening light cycles, then the sign to a sativa would be decreasing nutes. Or vice versa. Not only am I a noob, I have CRS, too. I think I...

Each plant accepted 3 cups of food/molasses/water this morning. Having the lights on during the day allows me to leave the curtain ajar so as to improve ventilation and keep temps within acceptable ranges. Since this is a sativa, I'm hoping that a 4" stretch of the branches is normal and that...

I haven't seen any dingle-balls yet, but I thought I'd upload a new pic of my stretchy little forest. No funds for Bushmaster this time around so I'll have to muddle through, clinging to the idea that, at the very least, I'm learning stuff. If they turn out to be male, I'll learn how to make...

There are some links in the last couple of pages of my journal, linked in my sig.

Thanks again, Kali. I think I'll just keep watch and let things be until gender makes itself apparent. :peace:

Lookin' good (FWIW from a newbie). :D

Thank you, hugconcentration! Believe me, I considered doing exactly that, but I didn't want to take even the slightest chance on glue running down inside and ruining the timer. Plus, last night, the light AND fan had come on as scheduled. After it shuts itself off this morning, I'll put...

Thanks again, Kali. Would it help to reduce the light hours now to 11?

Did you ever get an answer to your question, Bud?

I just re-checked my journal and they've been on 12/12 for a week now except for a little "adventure" with the manual override button on my timer last night. I think I've got that solved now though, so I'll keep watch. How soon do signs of herm show? I don't remember being this nervous...

OK, fine, it's operator error. :-? Everything seemed to be going well but, when I awoke this morning to check on my little garden, the lights were on, the cooltube fan was off and the temp was 100 degrees! WTH? I pulled the plants out and turned the light off to let things (most of all...

Thank you, Kali. They don't seem to be suffering but, since this is my first real grow, I don't want to take chances on inhibiting yield so I'll transplant them as soon as I find out they're girls. Another week or two, you think?

I have 2 Durban Poison in Hempy Buckets, vegged for 7+ weeks and less than 2 weeks into flowering under 150w HPS. They're currently in 3/4 gallon containers, heavily LST'd, and starting to stiffen up. I haven't been able to determine sex yet. Should I transplant them to larger containers...

Thanks, man! I'm pretty proud of 'em. I don't see any dingle-balls yet. About being in a position to give advice, I bet you learned something from your first 2 grows, even if it was what not to do. This isn't technically my first grow either - it's just the first one that's made it to the...

I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment, too. I guess I meant it'd be nice to have the disposable bucks for a plug-n-play but, knowing myself, I'd probably be modifying it right away. LOL Are you an electrician, DB?

Looks like we're on about the same path, about the same time. bongsmilie I'm glad I can do the DIY thing but, I dream of one of those plug-n-play setups. One of these days, man, one of these days!

I just got my 150w HPS set up yesterday. It'll need more work so I'm open to suggestions. dirtbagg, I got a candle chimney for $12.34 including shipping. The link is in my journal.

I'm glad I drilled the floor to close my cooltube - doing so dropped my day temps by a good 10 degrees, which brings them within a much more acceptable proximity to the night temps. Because it's that time of year, I'm using a 12/13 schedule until the lights come on in the evening (instead of in...

Nice. Very K.I.S.S. I'm still glad I got mine set up yesterday but, this is the way I'll do it next time (adding to bookmarks). BTW, "desired adhesive" = epoxy?
