Looks like ya have a bunch going. Just make sure ya have enough light for all those plants or you Will be disappointed. I think going by watts is better then by lumen's. In the lighting sticky it said to count each watt as 69.9 lumen, so thats how you can count the lumen's you have. It has to do with the distance of the light, as the farther away, you lose the lumen's.Quote:

after reading your thread....seeds should always be started like they are popping in spring....less hours of light slowly increasing will give you a better chance of getting girls...when the seed pops and sees 24 hoursa of light it thinks it is in the summer time and grows fast..usually ending in a male...follow the bottom link of my sig and it is Jorge Cervantes method of getting more females from seed!:thumbsup:
yeah i do got alot going on the hydro is under grow lights untill i start 12/12 then there go under cfls to get a good result im gonna start flowering the hydro when my girls are done.....i installed a timer for the pump for the drip sytem and i put a airstone in the resivor marijane really love that rockwool and lava rock.....my girls in the closet are looking good they still have a month maybe two i just hope the hydro doest outgrow the box i have them in i have had to many males for going 24 from the get go i think its already determines b4 they sprout i know that might not be true but thats how it seams cause i can just tell now im thinking about scrog for the hydro since it work really well in hydro im a deffinate believer in scrog mybe a sog scrog grow next soil???
keep using 24 hour light for seeds and a majority will be males.....only femmed seeds are predetermined but should be treated in the same way as normal seeds using a max of 14 hours of light gradually increasing over time! improper lighting schedule is the demise of most growers starting from seed..so if you want different results change your method! :hippy:
Thats how i sprout my seeds. I put a bunch in a big pot, then after there strong enough, i put them in a cup. After they get tall enough and have developed a good root system, i get them in there pre dug holes. This all took place outside last year, but this year i can start inside:rasta:Quote:

good...put the seeds in your flower room to start...that is what i used to do and i would get about 80% or better girls....i would leave them in their for at least 3 weeks and then give them an hour extra per week until you hit 18/6....this is not opinion..it is fact read Jorge's book! try to treat your seeds like they are popping in spring and moving to warmer months...i gaurantee if you follow these steps you will have more girls:thumbsup:Quote:

you are wasting seeds at 24 hours...its not my opinion...it is fact verified by Jorge's guide. if you want breeding males then go for 24..but if you are after girls then think about nature and how it works...you've already stated that you get too many males!
i'm just trying to help you with my experience...been there done that! :hippy:
Not sure if you read my thread Stra8, but i had 4 outta 5 females with my first indoor try. I ran 24/0, but the floor kept the soil a bit cool. I then had some issues re. privacy, so they lived as a house plant for over a week. Thats where my male/hermy came from i think. But after this crap i went 18/6and think i got better growth running this schudule. I have harvested buds at least 3 times per plant. But tonight im taking all buds i dont need and cut light to 15/8. After i get some leaf and branch growth il put them on the porch to get them ready for the ground. Aiming for giant bushes:thumbsup:Quote:

yeah lsy i probably will start some on 420 maybe we can start some seeds on the same day and see who can get more buds or more females idk sounds fun.. and oh yeah you gotta get a little hydro going im seeing growth like never before just imagine all that money ive spent on pots and soil i could have a thousand dollar hydro setup pushin 3-4 pounds ever 4months or so ive never had 2-3inchs of growth per day and i havent checked the ph of the nutrient solution i just dump in some nutes and water and let it do its thing i dont even gotta worry bout them they water them self its like my plant took over and said go away im growing ......lol hydros lonely no interaction with the plants and the guy at the hydro shop said the one im building is complicated the hardest thing was to smash the lava into smaller peices ...i took those seedlings outside so they can do they thing its the first day of spring so well see might just let them be till may and force flower inside idk depends if my closet will hold me over till then im going 70 days on these girls there starting to put off thrichomes but still arent very stinky wats the flowering time with cfls ????
no i did'nt LSY...i only mention the seed schedule cause it something you can do to increase your chances...instead of blasting them with 24/7 light in there infancy...were your seeds femmed? :hippy:Quote:
