Fantastic..
Those are CFL's correct ?

Get THE CFL's less than 1 inch from your plants.. You will need to adjust the lights nearly every day because the plants will grow......

Lower some lights inbewteen the plants ....

and add 1-5 more lights..

Flower them tomorrow!!!!

yes tomorrow

okay they are on 12/12 now, on a timer and I have lowered the lights even more.
I have 4x150 watt CFL's and 4x100 watt Sodium on them

[Garden Knowm]

Are you using COMPACT HPS bulbs?

: )

[sdhall36]

no they are just Low enegry normal bulbs (household) 4 x 100 watt (bad?) - and the other four are "pro-lite Daylite Helix Compact Florescent" Model 6400K Helix 220-240V / 50Hz (even distribution of 6400k light 360º).

2nd day of 12/12 now - they be growing tall man!!!

Also the one that was dying is perking up a little now, given 5-5-5 pnk general purpose fertilizer.

How long do you think it will take to flower/show sex for them? Will prolly have to kill some males - waaaa, I love them all!

love and light Knowm (thanks for taking me under your wing) x

Replace the four 100-watt incandescents with some cool CFLs and your plants will do even better, AND it will cost less on your electric bill. Incandescent lights don't help plants much; they're 'tuned' for the human visual spectrum. They generate more heat than they do light that plants use.

okay - a pic, I'm flowering now (well just started to do so) - they are loving it, not dying at all now, harsh growth everywhere.

This is exciting isn't it?

Where are you... help me we need to sex soon!!!!!

arrrg! 5-5-5 NPK

The lights are okay so far, lack of phosphorus causes blue leaves, lack of nitrogen makes leaves die, and lack of potassium makes the plant slow down... is this right?

anyway they are good to press - now how long? to flower? (the pH is 6.6 using pH papers) - will be good after next flush.

First gro and... fuck I'm doing okay - sativa/indica seeds from Holland 50/50 KC Brains seed bank.

Any input?

[sdhall36]

No Jamstigator - they are energy saving ones and I heard that plants need "warm" light (sodium) for the flowering time + with the CFL's so near now they will bloom - no good?
I'll take a pic tomorrow (day four into flowering) - we might see some sex then perhaps, I think I see a white hair from the top plant, looks exciting!

[sdhall36]

you are wrong this is a female!!!!

day three into flowering and oh yes - white hairs

Karma - lol best plant and a female - you were wrong Knome, but I forgive you x
