Yeah me! b1

 

Here's my lil babies today a month old.Notice the thickness of the main stem like a good sized finger.These are being grown at the time under 3 -26 watt warm white compact fluorescents for a total of 5100 lumens.Can't wait till these babies go under my lil ole 150 HPS,16000 lumens,and watch them take off.I am debating whether to low stress train them or not.Think it would increase my yeild?

 

yeah man that woudl increase yourharvest bye 2 or 3 times......but i woudl move the lights closer, if they are fluros then they can get about and inch away from the plant...they look kinda tiny for a month old...

 

Tiny they got 6 or 7 nodes so far.Lets see
you do better they're a pure indica my friend.

 

By the way they are under 81 watts warm white
CFL
soon to be under my 150 HPS.

 

Not having a go at you my friend but you need to dramatically increase your light.My indica plants are three and a half weeks old and over twice the size. I am sure you will harvest some excellent buds. But if you invest in a 400W HPS light with a expanded spectrum bulb it will pay for itself many times over and just watch the difference in growth. If the temperature is a problem get a fan blowing on the plants plus an extractor fan. If its still to hot try a 250W HPS light. If you use the expanded spectrum bulbs you can use them for vegging as well, obviously the bigger they are after veg the more buds you will get.
One last tip if your going to train them why not fasten a net just above your plants as they grow you can carefully bend them over weaving them in and out of the net.Leave them to grow straight up when properly flowering.Using this method you can utilise your whole space giving all of the plant maximum light.
Hope you don't get defensive i am not critising your plants they look great' just trying to offer some useful tips.

 

Hey buzz I did not thnk you were critisizing my plants and I hear you about the
lights and my yields.For flowering I'm going to put them under my 150 HPS in my
stealh box which sits in my double door bedroom closet,1 side veg 1 side flower
vented to the attic by a 6" 120 V duct booster fan which blows the air out and and brings air in at the same time,passive air intake.
The grow box I constructed has got 2.34 sq' on each side so on the flowering side under the 150 I'll have 64 watts per sq' for flowering which will give me some nice tight buds.Wonder if I should get me a 250 HPS for flowering or if that would be over doing it at 106 watts per sq 'What you think?

 

I always reckon the more light the better. How big is your flowering space. do you mean 2.34*2.34 or do you mean 1.53*1.53. If its the latter have you ever thought of making the two spaces into one larger grow space.
Dont want to confuse things too much like you say if you have got 64W per square foot that should do nicely for flowering. See how it goes. One tip though as stated earlier if you can get a fan blowing on the tops of your plants you will be able to get the light a lot closer.

 

I have 2 sides 1 for vegging and 1 for flower, they are both the same size 2.34 sq ' each side.This way I got a side for vegging and cloning and 1 for flowering.
