I have a 400 w right now. Anyways I was planning on doing one 10 sq feet or so. I have big flowering space that I built, but since I only have 1 light for now, it doesn't heat the space up.

Is this your first grow as well?[/QUOTE]
I've been growing for quite awhile. Started when I was 14 doing outdoor, trying to be like the guys I was reading about in high times. After a few disasters and some OK, moved to Texas and really got into when o was 19. Did a few big grows, and alot of learning and reading everything I could find I moved to indoors just 2 years ago. Alot more work but well worth the effort. My current journal is my first witj actual decent genetics. As long as me and the wife get along and no more disasters happen like last time ( still haven't forgiven her, that journal is here somwhere) I think this is my best grow to date. :)

Sorry to hear about the set back :( I was going to post pics of my setup but I have pink eye and I wasn't up to setting anything up. I'll start on it tonight.

My last question, I swear. I know that it takes around 2 weeks for the plant to show flowers/male attributes, but it's now been 8 days and shouldn't something be showing?

Some plants show pistils while still in vegetative state. This one may be a late shower.. or there is a light leak in the attic?

if there is a light leak, it's extremely minimal, less than moonlight strength.

also, where the branching occurs from the main stem, the "joints" are starting to get swollen (I don't want to sound like a total noob, but I am one!:smokin:) I'll see if I can get pics for tonight, my camera broke the other day :(

I'm guessing they are healing from the LST (low 'stress' training), so the added stress, plus most of the plant has to change the direction of it's branches now that gravity has 'changed direction' in a sense.

^^Yup
Thats why I quoted you saying "..Im trying out lst on them."
