Hi If this is your first ever grow then you may make the same mistake 99% of beginners make, After going to all the effort to get those little precious beans from our good friends around the globe or from some stanky ass bagseed. Whatever the case may be this seems to be the most commen mistake or problems, and ofcourse the grower is never to blame (MY ASS). So some people may disagree but results speak for themselves. Deciding which medium to raise your beans in seems to be like the million doller question to some people, If so swing me the Johnny Cash. I would start them in a nice quality seed raising mix, use whatever pot/container you like as long as its not clear and has a bit of depth to it. Personally I use Seed Raising mix (Searls) with a sprinkle of worm castings mixed through for all my seed grows, hydro or soil. Though to be honest I havent planted beans in ages, As clones are obviosly your goal, And then a Mum or three will be in your near future. Had my mum's now for Donkey's. Wouldn't trade em for the world. As for your lighting I would piss those cfl's off straight away, and put them under the 400w. Start at a meter and work your way down over the days till they are happy, you don't want your plant reaching for light, but you dont want it too close either. Also in ny opinion the whole EC, PH issue is alot of people downfalls too. People are always adjusting then readjusting all the ph and ec levels till they wouldnt have a clue where there at so the have to flush and then generely do it all over again. As long as you follow the directions on of the nutriant bottles and flush with plain water once a week/fornight you'll be sweet Just keep it all as simple as possible, the plant will tell you what it wants not a pen. Just my 2 cents.

yup.

No the reason they started to bud is cause you planted them when the days were still short, so it vegged a little then started to bud,, like bill said your plant will more than likley reveg meaning it will start to grow again As the days get longer. You really need to plant when your days are rising above 12hrs and let them veg all through summer. plant on fathers day harvest on mothers day...good general rule of thumb.

Great product I have used it for a few yrs now. great for gnats and mites and wont burn ya plants.

Nothing wrong with fem seeds, I have orded heaps, all female and only had a couple of banana's at the bottom pups(twice outta loads of fem beans). GHS fems are shit hot m8, go with them all the way also the cheese is a great choice I have grown it and have heaps of crosses with it,,absolute stunner of a strain. If you are after the cheapest best fem on the net(only in my opinion) SB has The Church $23 for 5 fems, my fav strain. peace hoop.

Nice choice m8, ya won't regret it.

Want me to hold ya dick while ya piss too.... Geez man have a look around the site, lotsa info on Vegas growin. No one's gunna help ya if ya can't even be bothered helping ya self.

NEVER use Brunnings seed raising mix, it is the worst outta the lot, full of wood-chip, I'd say at least 80% chip (not good). I highly recommend Debco seed raising mix, though Yates and searles do a nice mix as well, all available at Bunnings. There is no prob's in using Brunning's coca blocks just make sure they are the unfertilized ones, and make sure you rinse both coca blocks and perlite very well before using/potting up. Also keep the lid on the humidifier Dome until they sprout, then take it off.
