If the plants are triggered shortly after rooting you could get a half decent drop. A friend of mine got 1/4 pound bone dry out of 4, 4 foot flourecents - not tons but acceptable for personal. But ya, go with an HPS if you need or want more. Just my 2 cents.

Probably not. If it is, I wouldnt trust it until you verify that for yourself.

Purple lines on the stem could be a sign of nutrient problems.
The natural progression of leaf fingers is: cotyledons, 1,3,5,7, sometimes 9, sometimes 11. Depends on strain and health.

Both are myths when it comes to sexing.

My AK47 normally exibits a red strip down the stalks and stems and they are never nutrient deficient, it is just a trait of this perticular strain. It is true though a red clour can mean nutrient problems, but not in my case. Just thought i'd add my 2 cents.
