Hello again Arctic. Just wanted to say what works well for me is to top the plant first and then lst the top four branches. easy to control that way and the plant will be better balanced. I once had a plant that i did like your doing yours now and it kept wanting to tip itself over until i tied...

Hey Arctic nice plants. Have you considered topping your plants? I used to use cfl's too and i always had best results with short bushy ones instead of tall thin ones. Easier to get more of the foliage closer the the lights that way.

Hey man. I like the sky light idea. Pretty cool. Well i had an idea about cheap lighting for your cabinet. You could go to home depot & get a ballast for 4 T-5 fluorescent tubes & the sockets. Just mount them vertically. One tube in each corner. You can get the ballast for about $40, and the...

You should probably flower them soon. They're already going to be crowding each other pretty good.

Re: New grower bagseed Hey GS. Plants are looking good. Instead of focusing on how to get each plant to produce as much as it can focus on using your space & lighting as efficiently as you can. Basically with that kind of light what you want to do is pack your box wall to wall with a dense but...

Hey ambition. Nice plant man. I faced some of the same lighting problems as you. If you want a good light from home depot you should check out the t8 fixtures. You can get a four tube fixture, with four foot tubes and overdrive it for around $80. That should work just fine for a few medium small...

At least. It all really depends on what you like. Harvest earlier When the trichs are still cloudy white & it'll be a more upbeat hyper stone. Wait till you've got more amber & it's be more of a couchlock one. I'd say just wait a couple weeks & see how she looks. Don't go by how long it's been...

Hey there fog. looks a bit early to start flushing to me. Those calyxes will start swelling allot more soon. You'll know when you're getting closer when the pistils start shriveling up & turning red. Also I'd advise pinching all those balls off your plant. I've had hermies turn out pretty good...

If you top it you have to reveg but you can do it.

Well the thing is you really wanna top during veg growth because you want it to branch out a bit and grow a bunch of new nodes, but when you flower the plant stops branching out & growing new nodes. All it does in flower is stretch toward the light & grow flowers. You could always switch your...

I'm not sure about the organic nutes, all mine look like blue coolaid hehe. I'm sure the guys at your local hydro shop or plant nursery can help you out though. As for topping if u run a search on this site you'll find a million tutorials on the subject. It's really quite simple though just cut...

Hey there rucked. I agree with exile & smoke you're going to want more light down there. Also you should look into topping your plant. When switched to flowering our favorite plant can stretch out 3 to 5 times its size. topping keeps em short and bushy so it's easy to light. I'd also advise...

Re: My First Grow - White Widow and Unknown From South Florida Fluorescent lights loose intensity really fast i'd keep them at about two inches away. They shouldn't burn your plant unless it's actually touching the bulbs. Also I've found it can be helpful to put one or two veg spectrum lights...

Re: My First Grow - White Widow and Unknown From South Florida What color lights are you using?

Re: My First Grow - White Widow and Unknown From South Florida Hello PSV I've actually used MG with great success. The trick is to remember less is more. I start with Alaska organics fish fertilizer for seedlings & then i just use two watering's of the bloom boost. The first during veg growth...
