I have 2 plants going at the moment been in buckets for about 2 weeks now. Plants are growing on top of themselves not sure if good or bad. I have removed any foliage that wasnt getting light cause ive looked up lollipoping and researched quite a bit but need to hear from everyone because experience is worth more than looking up stuff on the net. Thanks for stopping by.

Well just moved the plugs into dirt to hopefully promote better root growth. Lights are now running the big light 16/8 and cfls running 24 hours. Still new so will need help with figuring out scroging and would like to hear feed back on how im doing thus far. This is my first time growing my own medicine and have only researched for about a week.

Hey Growmanzilla, what lighting system are you using (Type, Watts, Lumens) for each stage of the cycle and lets hope those babies are females

 

[Growmanzilla]

Seedling have been on low watt cfls. Main light is one 600w MH bulb right now putting out 60,000 lumens

 

[Growmanzilla]

And my HPS flower blub is 600w pushing out 90,000 lumens
