Update: 11/23
Ph level of the soil is still around 6, is that too low or just fine?

my main queustion that is bothering me is how far should the light (its a 150 watt HPS light) be from the plant?

can i mist the leaves with water?





6 is fine.

In general, the correct distance from your plant is the closest distance you can get without burning your plants.  If I am using artificial light I use my $20 infrared thermometer to check the very top parts of a plant for surface temperature.  I am fine with any temps at 90f or below.

You can mist your leaves.  DON'T get your lamp wet.  Even small drops of water can cause a hot bulb to burst on contact.  You should consider doing some searches on the web regarding foliar feeding.  Some people do it.  Others do not.  I have seen incorrect information about it posted on Growery, so I would look elsewhere if you are really interested in benefits of spraying plants.

I am not a cannabis grower.  I find the cannabis growers to be the most open to experimenting and sharing out of all of the different botany groups I enjoy.  I frequently use the suggestions that I find to apply to own organic gardening and food production.

12/28/10:
well about 3 weeks ago i threw out the MG that was stolen, and bought some new MG. It's working out fine, no problems showing what-so-ever but i could be getting better results with other nutrients.
i have a pic so i'll put it up, it's over 2 months if not right around there. going to flower soon, any comment, harsh or polite, are accepted.

It's hard to make much out under that light.  But it looks good.

also i've been cutting downn on nutrients, cuz i've heard your not supposed to be using nutrients, but how far into flowering should i drop the nutrients?

A little pocket microscope or a jewlers loupe. 40x I think is the minimum you want. But opt for the microscope, $10 at radioshack and there'll be no questions with that.

Lookin' real good dude!

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

appreciate the comments guys.
i was surprised with the MG as nutrients though,
have always heard bad results but they impressed.
i know there's obviously better options out there but it did the job.
just gonna wait till the second grow to upgrade nutrients.

i know its getting a little ahead of its growth,
but im clueless as to the process of drying and curing the buds after i harvest, and im not sure how to ask this, but how to harvest too.
Just if there's anything i to teach would be great.

I used to look at the trichs with a jewelers loupe but I just got a pocket microscope Monday.

Totally, totally worth it. And, totally cool to look at small junk with.

Harvest will be ready depending on what kinda smoke you want. Uppy head high will be mostly cloudy trichs. A mix would be 1:1 cloudy/amber trichs. A more couch-lockey stone will be an ameber majority.

I prefer the stoney high, so I let them go a bit longer. You can also tell when the calyxes swell up...it'll be a noticable difference :thumbup:
