You need drip on those net pots too big, water will not make it to the roots fast enough. The roots will emerge get into water then die because they are being choked off by lack of food/water inside unless water is up near top of rapid rooter.

Those stains are just from the organics I use.. but growth is good..

Looking good bro, can't wait to see your ladies produce! Hope everything is good in your neck of the woods.

Three days.. no calyxes.. Not surprised. Usually takes me a week or more with this MH bulb and high nitrogen level I'm using. I'll post some new pics soon.

Yeah.. just because of my light being a 250w. If I was doing one plant I might go 6 weeks.

This is day 30 (I think.. it's day 4 of flower so it may be 31)

thanks, thats what i've got. one plant. so i'll go another week or so. i appreciate the reply. i veggied with cfl's for 3 weeks. then got my mh/hps 400 watt cool tube in.

You going to flower with a hps bulb?

You can't tell.. but I did some small lollipopping already. A few nodes off the sativa pheno and the base node off the indi.

Edit: I really don't like to loli, but the nodes are too compact and not getting any light anyways.

yeah, 400 watt. cool tube reflector.

here is what it looks like.

Mmm makes more sense..

I know I should switch to coolers.. but I just don't want to deal with the fabrication into a DWC setup.

i bought a kit from s.h., thats the tub under my plant. of course its for six plants and that wont work, but thats where i got the dual spectrum's. my first plant didnt bud useing those lights.

those cfl's really do veggie well though. do you think i should start flowering?
