Don't sweat it. Those women at the checkout don't care that you are buying gardening stuff. That's what it's there for. If anyone were to ask, you could say you were trying to root a cutting from a ornamental magnolia tree, lol. I love shopping at lowes for everything and if it is grow equipment even better- you don't have to pay shipping and handling !
just spent an hour looking at thier plants im 21 years old and i didnt get any odd looks, ended up having to buy chrysantinum seed tho instead of a live plant. then i walked over to pvc section to get some parts for my aero cloner, its too confusing there is to much shit and so many projects a person could be doing dont sweat it, wait for winter to chill, nobody really does shit then.

i love the hardware store, the vitamin store and farm and feed stores. best places to get all your DIY needs and specialty products you often cant find at the hydro places.

I went in right before closing the other day because i knew there wouldn't be many people. There was maybe 3-4 in the entire store. Got my shit and went to self checkout untill i realized that self checkout closes 20 minutes before closing. But i tryed not to be too suspicious. Been having a problem with light spills, so my lights haven't been on for the past 24, hours. Hope nothing bad happens because of it. I can get the problem fixed by tomorrow morning though for sure.

My iPhone won't focus, so no pics. But I'm pretty sure it is a female. One or two oval things (Not a bunch like males) with 2 small white hairs coming out of each.

Get rockwool cubes for your clones and some cloning gel/solution if you plan on taking a cutting. Let it root in the cube before you need soil. for it.

Yeah usually by a week and a half you should be seeing some buds! Thats how the sativa was when I got it when I first started growing. I just got my hands on some northern lights and lemon skunk clones to put with my pineapple express! You should look into an auto flowering strain after this grow. Grab some nice 8 week or so flowering plants! I was going to order seeds next but I have these clones and I'm going to see how well they do.

Good luck man!

Already looking at some WW autos. Gonna Veg them and the Critical Mass Photos for a week. When the autos start to flower, I'll switch to 12/12 so the criticals can flower.

They actually don't look too bad. Not stretching bad anymore. Might actually get some bud off them come September.

She looks sad :/ tips are burnt and droopy, I'm thinking over watered. Also been seeing lots of small flies around her.

Getting nervous, I saw small pistils nearly 2 weeks ago, and they still haven't grown. They are like a millimeter long. What's wrong?

The plant was starting to bend due to it being too tall, so I topped and am going to try to clone without rooting gel. If it fails, no problem. I just wanted to top so that i get two colas. Can i clone under 12/12? Here's the pics.Flowering 003.jpgFlowering 004.jpgFlowering 005.jpg

Clones prefer 24 hours ambient light! Make a small little spot with a decent watt CFL and it should be fine. Once they root you can put them in 12/12 but I wouldn't root them in 12/12.

The clone isn't looking too good this morning :/.
I've been working at the head shop for about two months now almost. Learned a shitload. Very happy with what I've been able to gather information wise. Thank god for having a grow section at my job and countless books for me to read through whenever I feel like it basically. I'm sure I'll be able to help you out a lot more if you have some questions man. Just shoot me a pm with whatever you need and I'll help you out the best I can and if I can't we'll start a thread for it!
