tikiroom Reviewed by tikiroom on 07-29-2010. MMJ Patients first grow....Flowering stage Hey everyone this is actually 420coach I made the move and lost my internet for a while. Forgot all passwords so I had to make a new profile...... My ladies are doing super...The two Chemdawgs I was treating for mites did spread to some of my other plants but im controlling there population by scrubbing the leafs with soapy water every other day. This is day 12 of flowering and I can say things ae looking good. Running 6 100w cfls,4 tube t5 cool white floros,2 tube t5 cool white floros Rating: 5

My main was question was are using a MH bulb instead of a HPS bulb for flower?
I understand heat issues, apparently to me what my body feels to be around seventy degrees is actually eighty. I guess I always have run hot though. lol
If you are running mh instead of hps because of heat, i thought from what i've read that hps ran a little cooler. Anyways just curious because i am currently on my first grow, and everything right now is a learning experience. I don't think I read this much in high school. :jointsmile:

Well I learned the HPS do send off alot of heat with the red spectrum... So for this first grow I went floros and MH. There doing pretty well the Chocolope has this citrus smell that is so inviting....I cant wait.

Well day 30 of flowering heres a few pics with the lites half off. Still a shity camera...:wtf:

You still have some time to go man, 8 weeks is the general rule of thumb for flowering period, about 60 days total, but when you are getting to about day 45-50 you be the judge by how many of the hairs have turned brown, unless you go out and buy yourself a handheld microscope, then you can judge on when to harvest by looking at the trichomes themselves. I don't have a microscope yet, so I judge by the hairs, usually when about 10% of them are brown I go ahead and begin to flush, clean phed water, then when about 75% are brown I harvest.

I use baking soda as ph up and some stuff I found at lowes for ponds and stuff for ph down. I ph all my water to ~6(I'm using the GH ph solution drops) after mixing nutes.

hope this helps!
