i would clone them and then sex them but i dont have the room to do that :(

any ways, i just recently killed another male plant and the one plant that was orignally in the shot glass died :( , so i am down to 4 plants but hopefully i get some females already!!!!

Hello guys, I want to do a similar thing (pc case grow), I want to put low-ryder automatic flowering crosses, these strains take 9 weeks from start to end to finish and automatically enter flowering after two weeks......... in a pc case whats the maximum number of plants I can put in, (considering that I will throw males out)...... and flowering starts after two weeks.......... what types of CFL lights will I need (how many watts and how many lights)....... do I need seperate CFL lights in this situation for veg/flower?

hey cc420, i would suggest, as long as you are pretty savy at electrical stuff, to wire individual sockets like i did, this way you can swap out warm/cool lights easily, and it maximizes your room to flower. :) i have seen people buying pre made socket things but those are bulky and they each need to be plugged in to a wall socket (which mean its hard to get a timer for all of them)

AS for how many, i have 3 40w cfls bou can do but you can do more, it would get pretty warm in my pc without my two good fans running,

Thank you for the response, as far as those lights go, considering I'm going to do the automatic flowering strain and those only veg for 2 weeks and automatically enter flowering ( I can run light 24/7)........ do I need seperate lights for veg/flower? And those 40W CFL lights, do they have to be a specific type; for example: 40 W 3000l? I get confused with that K type of stuff......... and one more thing, how many of these automatic strain types of plants can I do in a pc case?

I think i might try this but try lollipopping... any more experinced growers have an oppinion on that? i was just thinking that since the top buds will be getting 90% of the light when just a little larger, concentrate all growth on those. Sound good or bad?

it is the second biggest one, but its ok cause the biggest one just showed hairs TOOO!!!!!!!!!! ah ha ha..my only concern is that the pots they are in are small, would it be beneficial or hurtful to transplant into bigger, final pots, or would that allow the plant to grow to big? or hurt yield, mind you the hairs are one-two days old
