Sun Blaze T5 High Output Fluorescent Grow Light 4ft 8 Lamp

[Zummy81]

Finnally I've listen to your advices...I'm now growing only 3 plants, they are only 2 weeks old, but everything looks nice. After I re-think my setup I'm sure that 8 plants was a bit ambicious. Let's start with some moderation and a better chance of succes

I have a question about mother plant...I know a mother plant should always be kept under the light on a 18 hours light and 6 hours darkness ratio. But how can I make sure the plant I choose to be my mother plan is a female ? What I understand is that we can diffirenciate the sex of the plant about 2 weeks in flowering stage...I'm confused :wtf:

Thanks

Sun Blaze T5 High Output Fluorescent Grow Light 4ft 8 Lamp Hi, I just purchase this lamp...I think it will be good for my grow space because of 2 things : 1- I can save some space (4 foot ceiling), the lamp is just about 3 inchs high, and I can put the lamp very close to the plants because it produce way less heat thant an HIV lamp...I'm thinking about installed it vertically, will it be less effective than honrizontally ? Also, I've decided to put only warm fluorescent to boost the flowering stage, can I use this lamp for vegetative grow also ? Rating: 5

Well, what is generally done to determine if a new seedling is a female is that a separate clone is taken and put directly into flower. Obviously, what you get determines what sex the plant it is. However, because the cutting would have no time to vegetate properly, it must be destroyed as it will have pretty much no root structure and not a strong stalk at all.


I'll be watching...

:smokin:you got to veg under 18/6 or to speed things up under 16/8 and you will see the pre sex of the plant as it becomes mature enough to flower, if you try to force seed plants to flower before you see the pre sex signs you will just stress the plant and wont be to full potiential.
