Well i guess its ok if they're illegal as long as MJ is legal.

Hey,i have been FF at night just after lights off,is this ok? And is there a better time to FF as far as light and timing and such?

Also on my 10 pot hydro set up,i added a 26watt(6500k)w/o the reflector hanging down right in the middle so the plant sides will get more light and the other color of lighting.

I replaced the two small 12" air stones and pump with the bigger ones i showed you and the pump with the big 65 Liter per min.Looks like a jaccuzzi in there and should cool the solution down too.

yea, they say the best times to ff is 15min after they come on & 15min b4 they go out, but not on flowering plants, b/c of risk of bud mold.

I know i've been posting this on the forums but I cannot get a good answer.

My seeds are germinating and I mixed my soil today

22 quarst organic compost (store bought)

8 quarts sphagnum moss peat

and then probably 2 quarts of perlite


is the compost going to be too harsh?
should i nutralize it with some soil from our woods (it's loose and full of worms)?

Please help this newb!

Based upon suspects results and all i have read on the subject i will continue to FF during flowering(but only lightly and not in the last weeks)Knowing that mold is a very real possibility and one which i really want to avoid,ff at the end of the light cycle ATM will stop while I'm ahead.

So i've done alot of research on growing, and i plan on doing it for personal use, but i don't really wanna go all hardcore and get like 10+ plants going, I was wondering, on avarage, how many plants would produce enough to last me an 1/8th and week till next harvest? like 2 or 3 plants or something?

I know soft white CFL bulbs are best for flowering, but when it's dark outside will it hurt my week old plants by keeping it on near them? or will it help?

Ok, I'm totally new to this presexing thing because I flowered really early on my test grow so no preflowers on that run.

Is this a rat bastard male??

P4070044.jpg

These are at 24 days from seed, if these are preflowers I'm shocked! I didn't know they could show sex so early!!

Of course, maybe I'm just baked & seeing things!!
