Forget the class. If you have time now I would recommend growing a fruiting plant that closely resembles weed, like a tomato plant perhaps. Once you know how to take care of your plant, growing weed just requires some research online. Good luck!

Thanks smokenwisdom! Actually since this is my first grow, I have no idea which ones are popcorn buds and which ones are going to be main colas - I think I'll trim what I can, and harvest for myself so I can differentiate the different types next time. Thanks for the tip!

Hey khonisaan, Yeah I figured I should do an update - it's been about 40 days with the lights now, about a week plus of flower, the plants are doing great! The leaves are a dark shade of green and they've filled out the screen. It's a little warm with two lights in there (about 84 - 87F), but...

Hey guys, hopefully my scrog isn't too crowded - let me know if I need to trim beneath the canopy. I've heard that leaving the leaves on is better, but I'm not sure. A little help? Here's what it looks like underneath. So, trim? Yay or Nay? Thanks guys! TGM

Day 145 (16/12/2013) Updates! The screen is completely filled, and yes, they're experiencing that growth spurt during the first few weeks of flowering. Hopefully not too much, because there isn't a lot of vertical space left! I don't think I can train anymore, that's as even as I can get it...

Day 132 (3/12/2013) Flipped the lights. Thought it's better to do it early rather than later. The single plant is filling out nicely, but the other 2 not so much - I'm starting to think scrog is best done with a few strong plants. We'll see how it goes with the next grow though - plan on using...

Day 128 (29/11/2013) Ten days of training, I think it can fill out more but I should probably make the flip soon. Anyone with any suggestions? Just a note; the single plant on the left has grown a lot bigger than the 2 on the right! Maybe I should work with less plants next grow. Can't...

Day 118 (19/11/2013) It's crawling along! The plants are breaking through the screen, going to start training them soon. So far they're looking good, the lights are doing a great job in veg!

Hey Tomb! Thanks for still following, yup, the remainders are all clones. If you have a temp issue, do get the LED's. They have little heat signature, and they're cost efficient, powerful lights. I can't say how they'll do in flower, but currently in veg, they're doing great! Latest update is...

Day 108 (9/11/2013) Ah, a black day. Decided to kill the two plants affected by root rot, consoling myself at the thought that at least I have 4 more, before realizing that one wasn't growing quite as big as the others. Turns out, she was infected with spider mites. Killed her too, now I've...

Day 105 (6/11/2013) Got my Hans' panels! I've elaborated about it here. So far I've installed only one of them in the tent, just to see how the plants react to the light. Though the lights were bright while I tested them in the room, it seemed a little dim once I got them into the tent...

Hey guys, I know this has been long overdue, but in the end I decided to go with Hans' panels. They've been getting great reviews and recommendations, and the low shipping costs and similar electrical configuration appealed to me. The panels arrived within the week! I wrote an introductory...

Hey guys, just to clarify this isn't a complete review - I've just purchased 2 Hans' panels and wanted to share my experience of my purchase. I switched from HPS because living in this tropical country, and added with my small grow tent (2x4x5) led to some serious heat issues. Even with a 4"...

Day 94 (26/10/2013) Overdue update! Sorry, I've been occupied with a lot of things, I haven't had the time to log in and update the grow log. Rest assured I haven't forgotten my babies though! It's a growing passion and I'm starting to really enjoy it. =) On to major updates - So I've moved...

PaxEtBonum, Lol, I have the complete opposite of your problem. Tropical climates here means I deal with a perpetual summer - at least 85F in the day. I'm struggling to keep my babies cool, but recently one of the cuttings just had their leaves bleached with CFLs. Thanks for your input, I know...
