^Not dissin ya or anything, I just want to recommend going with soil, til ya get the hang of things, because it's the most forgiving of mediums. It leaves alot more room for mistakes, than the rest, which is a good thing, because you ARE going to make mistakes, that's inevitable. Even the best...

Well, actually, they were closer to 3 weeks, in those pics. I germed them, then stuck them in party cups, got sick, and let them sit in complete darkness for 3 days. They were stretched like crazy, by then(searching for light), so I transplanted them to those 1 gallon pots, burying the extra...

Looks like you're growing in straight perlite,(and maybe vermiculite) to me, which tells me you've tried to tackle something that you weren't prepared for. You're basically growing hydro, and if I were you, I'd be looking at some journals from guys growing in hempy buckets(straight perlite, and...

CFLs will work, but not for maximum yield. With those, you are going with the bare minimum, trying to save some bucks, and it'll cost ya at harvest time. Honestly, is you are serious about growing, and your grow area is at least 30" x 30", go with a 600 watt HPS, or even a 1000. power =...

^Good suggestion, man, I never think to do that, and i bet i ordered close to $3k worth of stuff from them.

Also,....it's not such a good thing to raise your light during flowering, unless you are using a big light, running really close, like a 1000 HPS at 10". You could get away with it then, but it most cases, you'd be sacrificing quality and yield, backing the lights off. Look into bending them...

I've ordered from them a bunch of times, and even went to their shop in person, a couple times. There's a bunch of potheads working there, so they might screw up an order(I've heard of it happening, but never to me),lol but they'll correct it, as soon as ya tell them about it, and might even...

They needed watered, and a dash of fert. No worries, they're nice and perky again. :wink:

These have been in soil MG soil(potting mix) for about 2 weeks, and I don't flush, or pick out any of those fert balls. All I do, is add another 5% perlite, or so. Works great for me, and many others.....

Maybe in certain circumstances, but not always. Trust me, it can turn out like crap.lol

I'll put in another vote for early pollination, as being the main culprit. Could also be low lighting, but I've had some of my harvests killed by early pollination, and really killed potency. Proper drying and curing, will definitely help, but won't change crap weed into good weed. I've dried...

It likely means you have a bit of a nute buildup in your soil, and when you add water/ferts, they re-dissolve, making whatever you've poured in, much stronger, and hence....dropping PH. It's pretty unavoidable, because it's near impossible to have your plants take in ALL the nutes you pour in...

Any idea what the PH of that fert mix was? Some ferts drop PH quite a bit, so you may have gave them a really acidic mixture. They didn't need fed yet, not after the transplant. It wouldn't have been a bad idea to give them a light feeding before the transplant, but since they have all that...

^Thanks guys, I'm looking to pull 4 ozs each,(dried, of course.lol), so stay tuned, and see if i fail, or not. I'm predicting 12/12 will start in 10-14 days, so it won't be long, til the magic starts to happen.... :cool:

Training time.... ...it's 2 days later, and time to start training the babies.lol To start, I use something I refer to as "bending", in which the top is bent over and tied to the main stem. It works great, and really sends the side-branching into overdrive. Screw topping, it's crap, compared...

Damn man, if you lost hope already, with decent-looking plants, I don't know if this is the hobby for you, because you haven't seen shit yet.lol :wink: Your plants don't look bad at all, and as stated,...they're not flowering, those are just preflowers, which'll show during veg, after 5 weeks or...

Agreed. I also trim 1/4 to 1/3, depending on the size or the plant.

Well, yes, you can grow some nice buds under T5's, done properly, and....No, that's not enough light for 4 plants. It's enough for 2 plants, if you keep them small. Remember, light loses intensity very fast, which means you have to keep em as close as possible. I ran T5's before, and didn't have...

You mean that guy with those tiny buds in his avatar?lol :razz: J/K, I was talking about lollipopping, in more of an extreme fashion, moreso than just removing a few sets of lower branches. I do that myself. I was more referring to those I see that actually look like lollipops, with...

Elvis, eh?lol :wink: Anyway,....I would tell Mr Elvis, to get the plant outta that pot, knock off the soil that fall off easily, then re-plant it with a different soil. While he's at it, he might as well go to a slightly bigger pot, because he's going to have to eventually, anyway. That soil...
