Yes and is why it took so long to show sex.

I appreciate you advice on the lighting and am trying to save up to re-arrange my setup. I know it's not safe:wtf: but I spent over $120 on that setup (Sadly!) and I am not able to change it right now.
I got myself some spray paint and need to find myself some cardboard to make myself something to put over my lights to reflects some of the lumens back.
Look in my grow log in my Sig, just click on it and you will see how i kept the light with in a tight grow area. I cut a cardboard box and surrounded the grow area with flat white painted cardboard. A brush is best as one can will not be enough, because it will absorb the paint so give it two coats of flat paint. I used killz, two coats worked great. Then put the plant in a corner and lower your lights below the cardboard as this will help reflect light. And you have splitters and CFL's already, so $7.00 at any hardware or wally will give you one of the lights i used. Perfect for one plant, but could add side lighting later in the grow. Just go in my log to see the pics, which will help you understand what i mean about keeping your light tight.

Duct tape is a growers friend, it can help ya in ways other methods might not for a fast fix. I will look for the light Shake made out of card board and duct tape. Served him well:hippy:with nice grows.

Its not hard to go behind some big ass store and take card board. Look behind one that sells TV's or freezers or something, but im sure if ya ask any store they would give it to ya. Tell em your moving:thumbsup:

Id bet your leaves are yellow because you water way to much. Plus id bet your root bound so re pot asap. When you water it will activate the ferts in the soil, so your over feeding it. You should let it get almost bone dry before watering and this will help the fert burn. I would only water 2x a week at the most and take that try out from under your plant. The water should run free through the plant and with that tray under there you will get root rot. Never use these.


umm... What else?.... I'm still doing reading..both online and one these forums
Once again...I really appreciate you're help and do hope you stay to guide me, watch me or just to stop by along my grow
-I am trying my best :hippy:
Thats great man, because reading is important, it also helps to ask questions that people understand. Im here to help as much as i can bro:thumbsup:and the best will get you a nice grow.

^Stuff in Canada seems to be more expensive than in the US but what can you really do right? If money wasn't an issue do you really think I would have used duct tape LOL:stoned:
You only need around 7-8 bucks to buy the hook light and get the smaller one as the bigger one will not hold 4 CFL's. Maybe take your splitters with you to see if they will fit. The bigger hook lights hood doesnt let you pull it up to get all 4 of the CFL's in your splitters, it will only fit two CFL's.

If you do these things, which are very low cost, you might get that oz your wanting. Just add card board, hook light, maybe ask around for some flat white paint in someone's garage, we have all seen paint in peoples garage, lol.

But your first thing is to stop watering so much. When the soil drys out, the roots get great oxygen, which helps your plant grow. If you have a bunch of mucky soil all wet at the bottom of your pot, it will stop growing.

Sorry but first thing is to re pot, today! Many things can become a pot, just make sure there are lots of holes in the bottom for drainage without the tray under it. I have a''how to'' re pot in my Sig that will help with re potting without any stress to your plant. Works great, but ya gotta let her dry out first, but you will see it in the thread.

I will be back, but id jump on the re pot and slow down the watering and your on track. See how easy this hobby is:jointsmile:it gets more easy each grow man, just dont get in a rush. It takes time, but the reward is unbelievable:jointsmile:

Any questions, just ask, but here. No one can help ya if your hopping all over the site. I know it seems like forever some times to get a response, but im here at least once a day or so and im subscribed so il see your posts.



Keep er green bro:rasta:
