[gundahead1270]

ok so ive been growing these plants, this fri will be 3 weeks there all 6-10 inches tall, they started from seed, grew under 2 2 1/2 flouro lights they grew fine, so now i transplanted them into 8 ounce pots, there under 2 100w halogens i have them high enough that they dont burn, and the 2 flouro are int he middle i have 12 plants due to i figured half would be male, now i know the spectrum on halogens is wrong and the flouros arent strong enough i was just wondering how well these will do and is there another way besides buying a grow light for 200 dollars, any help is appreciated

ok yeah so i just went and got a 48 inch dual flourescent overhead light, i got two aquarium and plant lights 40w's and i bought some cfl's 2 of them the kind that are supposed to be similar to sunlight i guess they are 23w dalylight extra mini 100 which is better the 48' or the 2 cfls and if im not mistakin nodes are sets of leaves correct? ill put a pic up ina bit

[gundahead1270]

thanks all so here are some pics of my grow my plants are really tall but i think its b/c they were stretching for light. now that i have a dual flourescent light overhang two 24inch flourescent tubes and 2 cfl 35w i hope theyll stop shooting up and maybe start growing out, im totally going into this blind i have no idea really if thats enough light im thinking ill need some more once they start to flower, but for now it should be good right? umm aswell the soil i bought is miracle grow time released, so dod i need some more fert or will that do for now, all the plants are green and lively some are starting to fall over (which i will fix today) other than that i have one major question i have a friend who is a veteran grower and he told me to distinguish between male and female right above the branches there are these two little hairs he said if there crossed there male if there straight there female, is this true and what are some easy ways to distinguish between the male and female there are 12 plants so i should have a outcome of around 6 females correct? and when do i switch the cycle?

wow fuck me bro halogens wat the fook your gonna burn your street down man.if you can get some cfl's if you can go one better get an hps but for fucks sake get rid of that halogen.

[bud bud ding ding]

yes check were the branch joins the stem your looking for white hairs(2) also what strain you growing and how big do you want your plants that determines when you flower.marijuana plants when forced to flower grow biiiiiiiiiiiiig.

[gundahead1270]

i dont know what strain they are just some kron buds i got from my friend who grows, i got rid of the halogen lights but it never burnt them they seem to stop stretching as much now that i have 2cfs 35w and the 48inch dual flouro and 2 more 24inch floro i will get a hps light after this grow i just dont want to put that much money into it if i find out its not my knack but yeah you guys keep talking about hairs 2 of them when should they appear, cus the plants neither have those or the balls, granite theyre only 19 days old, will this be enough light and do i need some fert still? all help is greatly appreciated
