Okay. Digging deeper, Number1 and HackerClown are the same individual... and have a third, shadowy figure standing behind them.
I'm nuking both of those accounts. I had thought this was a simpler issue. UKF, why don't you stand up and take a bow? 2 new identities in one thread... :thumbsup:

Hey SnS, when are the plants supposed to flower?

[maspino1]

ya for real! i read on hgl's site when they last posted an update on the 11th of feb that it'd
be out as soon as 4 weeks! and at approximately $60 each
i hope the colors blend as well as they do on the current 14w kit

SnS,

im not sure if you answered my prev post but did you say that you follow the FF chart they provide or do you go half str? Im just curious because i have read a lot of posts that state the FF chart they provide works great.

cant wait for the new pics!

dodo!

I've never completely followed their chart, but I've done it about half way or a little better. It worked pretty well. Obviously not well enough since I have been experimenting with nutrient brands, but I'm pretty sure you get what you pay for. I've always had just a bit of a yellowing and/or chlorosis problem, but I'm not sure if was Fox Farm's fault or not. I don't exactly do everything the way I'm supposed to.

the thing is im already growing and i dont have the money to buy seeds offline, so there for im growing from bagseed so i have no idea what kind of bud it is prbly a mix of sat and ind, so i was wondering if there were any methods to make ur plants grow more compactly or something like that?

You could grow with all blue lights and make sure you have a bunch of them. Any light that spikes in the blue spectrum will help keep em short and bushy, unless you don't have enough of it. In that case it will stretch since it would think it's being shaded. Reddish/orangish light will make them stretch but is better for producing buds.

Bluish, vegging lights = around 5300-7500K
Orangish, budding lights = around 2300-3000K

Look for those numbers on the lights. Anything out of those ranges sucks for growing weed, and the outer limits of those ranges aren't real great either.

Also grow ruderellas sp? that flower automatically and end up short, or indica varieties, which are normally shorter than sativas.

props for rollin the dice on new technology ppl should stop bitching lets get back on topic and see some fresh pics

[SnSstealth]

ok first 2 pics are to hope to god maspino gets the whole topped topping thing...lol just pickin at ya mas....look at how the top of the first 2 pics has 2 tops, where as the rest all have one top...one point of growth....eh?
3rd pic is the test plant....i pulled a few fan leafs off some of them to let the sides out....this cross is doing serious side growth...gonna trim the hell outta them this weekend probably, and set them flowering a week from today....sounds like a plan
the last 2 pics are oooh aaaah pics of the room...
opie, i wish you all the luck in the world...Im hoping this LED thing is the ish...got alot in it, would be nice 4 years down the road to know that we were the few who got out and did it...made it more possible, or maybe more plausable for othres to get out and do it...thats why we started this thread...now there are like 3 or 4 others trying it...this could make any schmo who can get the LEDs able to grow...get rid of the beasters...and soon kind will be everywhere!!HAHAHA....(evil laugh attempt)
so yeah, i wish all of you would go out and get some LEDs...need someone to compare/suggest with ya know?...so make sure you all stay on here, cause we need all the opinions we can get..unless they are juvenile dribble (number 1, hackerclown..whatever your name is) and as far as the nutes go...i am giving them slightly more than the FF chart,,its a good chart for sure, i just wanna see what this cross can take:thumbsup:

Hey specialak,

Clever screen name, and welcome to the club. If a little bitching is what it took to get you to join up, then so be it and stuff.
