:weed:Sup Fello AGers.
I am six weeks in to my AG grow and we are looking good i think. I got a little worried about brown spotting and wilting on some of the large fan leaves so i trimmed them off about two weeks ago, in there place two more stems have popped out.I cut my nutes back to one tab of the AG stuff every two weeks and the browining has gone away. i have a total of ten precious girls (i hope) just threw about two to three bag seeds into each seed cage and set them on lettus and greens. I have two large plants and the rest vary widely in size, am a little nervous about topping the taller plant so have been putting it off. any suggestions would be greatly appericated.

i still have my lights on 18-6 what do i need to look to go into flowering? When do i need to get more lights, when i start flower?
They seem to love the air stone, i saw a big change in growth after i got the air stone.
I know how to sex them but not sure when i should or where i should look.
Root mass looks great all white no browning so my water is good.
I am in such a rush to see this work i walk in and out about 30 times a day and i work 40 a week.

the tops i cut are looking great, they seemed to take it pretty hard when i cut them, but now they are really looking great. these are considered clones, Right?
i will give them another week to recover from the cut and then turn to flower. do i go 12-12 or 24-0 and how long?
I LOVE THIS FOURM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICC YOU ROCK MAN

no when you topp them you toss the part you cut off, its just a growing technique, go 12/12 for flowering

a clone is a basically a new start off the plant ....like how people that do house plants call em starters ...its basically a offshoot of the plant ......here is a pic of some of the "clones" in rockwool cubes ...some people call em starters ...

so the tops i cut and transplanted in the AG are a waste of time? they are healthy and strong. should i pull them and toss them,if they dont produce i dont need them. If they will then no foul. but i dont have alot of space to waste on vegetation.

idk man they might root by themselves, could always give it a try, normally people use rooting gel

both of my cuttings have taken root and are growing like nothing happened. WOW! I am gonna give them another 4 days to recover then i will put them to flower.
12-12 lights, I am gonna go get two more lights for the room, any suggestions on brands or watts, CFLs? I am currently wsing the AG lights only. There are not any specialty stores anywhere around so is Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart.
Thanks for all the help!

OK. I checked on the girls this afternoon and one of them looks like it is sweating it not slimy or milky. My humidity is good and there is only one that has this moisture on it. It has a very pungent smell. VERY STRANGE. any ideas. I am gonna get two ligths for flowering tonight and put them to flower on friday. i will post more photos this evening. I am hopeing to turn at least a half ounce per plant i have 12 plants they havnt shown there sex yet so i dont know if they are all little girls or not.

Do i get normal bulbs(screw in type) or the halogen (long glass tube) what produces the most efficent light power consuption is not an issue. Just want the best use of light for this application.

Well I went out and bought two grow lights lastnight but I got the floursent lights. 24" they don't have the CFLs on them so I am not sure what they are. They look like they are putting out enough light. The lady in the garden center said they were good for flowering. I will add Photos with my next post.
