Edit: I just looked at the whole thread. LOL. It wasnt as long as I thought. Yea, I wired up several things for my grow. Its not too hard. Get some books or look online or go to ask someone in a store. Basically, hot=black (or ribbed) and the other is the common/neutral wire. Be safe. You wont shock yourself if it isnt plugged in! lol

Alright I'v got a couple questions.

1) If I use a trey to grow ( around 5+ inches deep), should I just poke some holes into the bottom so the water can drain thru?

2) when should I start to LST, like how many sets of leaves or weeks?

1) yes deffinently poke holes drainage is important if the roots can't get air the plant will die.

2) u can force flower i think as quickly as 3 weeks give or take longers always better i guess

so once it starts to flower i should tie down some of the branches?

Jeffar, check this out: http://www.planetskunk.com/cannabis2335-0-asc-0.html

A guide to LST with pics

That should answer most of your questions about LST

You should probably start tieing before you flower if you can

Wait, didnt you say you were going to grow in a tray?? Does that mean that you are going to use pots and set the pots in a tray, or what? What medium are you using? Soil...rockwool?? Well, I think we need to figure out what you are growing in. You can't just poke holes anywhere...of course. :)

And ~660~, he asked when to start LSTing (Low Stress Training) his plants, not force flowering. :)

I think you should have a "decent" stem before you do that. As was mentioned before, you can strengthen your stem by putting a light fan blowing on the seedling. Then it doesn't really have to be that tall, as is shown in the LST job in that link up there^^^. That would be about 3 to 4 weeks, depending. That plant in the pictures looks like it was from a clone. (with a think stem, being so short).

So you havent even planted seeds yet???

Nah man im still setting up. Im starting from a clone. Im going to be keeping my plants in a fairly deep trey. it will take uo basically the whole bottom and its atleast 6+ inches deep.

Could i still have a fan blowing on my clone to toughen it up? Is it good to have a computer fan blowing on it constantly?

I forgot to say something, what do you mean by medium? where my lights are? my nutrients? sorry, I just joined up a week ago.

Should I use those 40 Watts through out the grow? or buy the daytimes and use one 40 watt?

Then when it comes to flowering, put 2 40 watts in and just another CFL that i have?

those are the lights my pops used and it worked great for him, he also used an added bluelight and red light in accordanence to his grow period
