Thanks. I think that MadameCrash was right on target.

Thank you for your replies! Racefan, you are probably right when you say that the two plants have different phenotypes. I will stop worrying about the fact that they look different per se. CustomMX6, there are yellow leaves from the bottom up to 3 feet. The higher the lesser yellow leaves...

Hi! I have 2 White Widows in a closet that have completed their second week of flowering. They were both started in early November from the same bag of quality seeds ordered from the Netherlands. They are planted in soil made of a mix of Miracle Grow, peat moss and perlite. They are under a...

I have two White Widows in their second week in my closet. They now have 4 leaves and keep growing :allgood: Could someone answer these newbie questions? What's the probability that a plant turns out to be a female? Is it close to 50/50 like for humans? Is it possible to plan...

What is that?

Hey guys, I have just started 2 White Widow seeds in pots that are 5 inches in diameter. After one week, they are 1.5 inch high, and they have a few leaves. I currently keep them on my balcony where the temperature oscillates between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. I have a closet with a 400...

Thanks! That's a great tip! What about the rooting cube and the light (type + distance)?

Hi, I have used the paper towel method to germinate my seeds. They are now open. Afer 4 days, the tip of the root is visible, but barely out of the shell. Is it the right time to transplant them to a growing medium? I was thinking using moist rooting cubes. Does it sound like a good...

The grow shop has fixed the problem :) Thanks for your responses, Green Gatorade

Well, I have set the ballast's switch on 120V (I am in the US), hooked it to the power outlet, hooked the lamp cord to the ballast and screwed the bulb... I don't see what I could have done wrong... The ballast remains cold and does not make any noise - is it normal?

Hi, I have purchased a 400W HPS system (ballast, hood and bulb). I have hooked up everything, but nothing is happening. I know that it can take a while to reach full luminosity, but here, I am talking about 30 minutes and nothing - absolutely nothing... I guess that there is a problem with...

Thanks so much guys! I will go with your advice and stay away from the 250W. Onelazysurfah, are you sure that 1000W is the minimum? I say that because I have a grow book that says that 400W should be fine, but I don't know... Also, I don't want to have to expell air from my closet... I won't...

What do you think of this system? Would it be sufficient? Thanks, Green Gatorade COMPACT MINI LIGHTING SYSTEMS Mini-systems are complete lighting systems in which the reflector and ballast are integrated in the same metal housing. They are referred to as "mini" systems because they are...

Hi, I have just received 12 seeds. It looks like that I will do my first grow attempt in a cabinet (2 feet x 4 feet x 7 feet). I guess that I could fit 2 or 3 plants. Does it make sense? A previous poster recommended a 400W HPS light. Well, I just come back from a specialized shop and...

I have read this book: Grow Great Marijuana: An Uncomplicated Guide to Growing the World's Finest Cannabis, by Logan Edwards It sounds pretty reliable, but on the other hand, I cannot say for sure since I have no experience. What do you guys think of it? Any other recommendation? I was a bit...
