Also, I've heard that you should start seedlings off under a fluro and move to the 400w once a few sets of leaves can be seen, is this correct? Thanks

Finally! Back up and growing A nice little temporary growroom, housing 8 B'shen and 1 white widow (my little baby ) clones. Hoping to get a quick grow off before going back to Perth. I'm using 7 CF's to veg for about another week, then I'll put them under a 600w hps. Got them in coco peat, and the WW in straight perlite, run to waste.

just curious about clones, how many times can you clone a clone before it turns to crap smoke, I've seen some excellent looking smoke the last year or so lovely tight well formed buds but no smell or strength, is this what happens if you clone to many times.

Hi i am flowering my three sativas as we speak they are in about day 5 of flower and just showing a few extra hairs and shit. I have never realy grown a male funnily enough only one that was given to me for decoration. ANyways with the sativas they only have hairs everywhere does this Female or do males grow these too.

Hi one of my plants has some nice big chucky buds on them, and i would say it is very close to harvesting it. my query is this the crown buds are say 6 inches long, and just one or two inches below the crown on the same stem is a couple of nice nugs growing up towrds the crown. these little nugs are no way as thick as the big crown, but they seem to have more smell and crystals and glistning than the crown. So im wondering do buds mature from the bottom of the plant first and workl their way up to the top thanks Jason
