Thanks, WeirdBeard! Purilla is coming along! Tomorrow, Thurs 4/12 will be it's 21st day after sprouting, so hopefully I'll have indications of sex soon. It's got two sets of three leaves now, and the next set is sticking up from the center. It seems to be taking about two days for each new set of leaves to unfold. I wonder when the 5/7-pointed leaves will appear? There's an Awesome webinar finishing up on healing properties of cannabis called "The Sacred Plant". This last episode has really great info on the healing properties of terpenes and personalized treatment methods for serious illnesses (down to the genetic level of the person and the plant). Here's the link: https://thesacredplant.com/webinar/webinar7fpc Enjoy! It'll be up until Fri/13th at about 9:00 pm EST. If you miss it, just let me know. I was able to download it, but I just haven't uploaded it to my Google Drive yet... Peace & <3

@love_violet,I o and post some pics for us!!

@WeirdBeard, Wow! That's a beautiful light! Thanks for that. It's on my wish list now. :)

Thanks so much WeirdBeard! I'm getting one of those full spectrum Morsen LED 80 watt grow lights with the red/blue/white/IR & UV, delivered by Friday. I'm feeling cautious about running big watts here so I'm hoping this highly rated 20=80 watt spotlight bulb will work with this one plant. I'll wind up with about 75-80 total actual watts that equal about 400 incandescent watts, and I'd like to keep using both led and cfl. I sure hope that's enough light for my little 2-ft x 3-ft growing space in the closet. I decided to call this plant Purilla since it's purple gorilla. She got about twenty earthworms from my garden today and I mulched her with pine needles to hold her sturdy, cause I think that four-inch stem is a bit of a stretch. I'll probably earth-up an inch or so. Day six since sprouting, and I can see the very beginnings of that second set of leaves, so there's still hope. Thanks again! :)

I need help with my set up. 300 watts of LED brought forth a gorgeous single LSD-25 plant, indoors. I need to know, 1) how many bulbs were used to total 300 watts? Were those 300 equivalent watts or true watts? 2) Were purple grow lights used, or more like the white-light Sun Blaster? I'm growing a single purple gorilla plant with 7 smaller watt bulbs - white LED and CFL, with true wattage ranging from 6 watts LED = 50 (5) , and a couple of CFLs with true watts ranging from 12-30 = 60-100 equivalent watts, each. (In my closet with a heavy black/gold[specks of hematite] virgin clay organic soil/compost medium. I added compost, perlite, crushed egg shells, and coffee grounds. My soil is very alkaline.) My seed sprouted and stood up within 48 hrs after planting directly in a 3-gal pot. It's been five days since it sprouted, now, and I'm looking for the second set of true leaves. I'm a bit nervous because the first set opened up two days ago. I'm concerned that maybe I don't have enough light. ... (the stem is 4" tall and sturdy, and other little sprouts that popped up have also stopped growing, California poppies and probably lupins) ... but I did notice in some You Tube diaries last night that several growers experienced a growth-pause at this point. Is this normal? I was planning on getting a set of 4 or six 5=40 watt LED grow spotlights with red/blue/UV & IR cells after I get paid tomorrow, ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07428QCCZ/?coliid=I154NO701AMW89&colid=18NJEV9O6BLXJ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it ) and use them on flexible extensions, ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B079K5P6P2/?coliid=I3PSIF2T3MQV9L&colid=18NJEV9O6BLXJ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it ) but now I wonder if I'd do better to just buy a single higher watt bulb. I can afford to invest about $30.00. I've already got 2700 and 6500K going in LED and CFL, Should I go for the colorful growlights to add to the bunch and fill in a few missing spectrums? ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B078B8HGRR/?coliid=I3CATT2KID8YU5&colid=18NJEV9O6BLXJ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it ) Or would it be better to just stick with the white lights in a particular Kelvin? ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00AKKU7SA/?coliid=I31ER56FVC4RP7&colid=18NJEV9O6BLXJ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it ) Sorry for the lenghty post, This is my first grow. ... Also, where can I get LSD-25, Jack Herer, and Green Crack seeds in CA? I poked around all day & night last weekend, and I'm still pretty confused about Fast Bud distributors for my region, even though they say they're from Los Angeles... ? Help!!! This purple gorilla seed came with some bud I got a few months ago, and I'm really glad it sprouted, but I don't know if it's male or female yet... I'll appreciate your guidance, Thanks, love_violet
