12/12 hps, nutes still as mentioned earlier based on height/days in grow. ;-)

Youll get more isolated clusters because of how this grow has gone for you so far if you stay on this path and with our specific cab setup. You can always stick with the MH for the next week; however the stress factor versus you got a grow that wants to "grow", I say slower down now - you know it will continue to grow another 10-15" anyway so just figure it in - a few less inches in height vs. risking a more tight cluster of budding. Please note that these comments do not pretain to a "regular" grow; only to TrueLove's strains, past, recourse, high return results in short period, continued nute therapy and cab.

ok ok i can dig that you got advice for the specific setup, but i dont quite understand why you say tight bud clusters is a risk?? i thought he was trying to watch his space thats why the MH seems convenient to help keep em short. I can understand if maybe its a strain related thing or your humiditiy is too high?? i guess you comment threw me off and wanted to know what you meant by risk of tight clusters.

true.. shit is looking great man and its def gonna come out nice mh or hps for now hehe and no disrespect meant dishguy just asking a question

Hey, I was referring even though he could easily grow these tall at the rate; however if I have to choose (based on restrictions all-around) between a few extra inches of growth and more than possible thicker buds... I would have to say safe with around 25-32" plants on hps.

Either way you know you basically got 4 more weeks of "veg/growth" - take the risk of 3.5-4 ft plants stuffed or 2.5-3ft plants comfortable. ;) Just my experience... this happened to me in the beginning with this cab with a nute mix up and optimal conditions.

Nothing bad to say about the course so far - looks as planned, now they are on track with nutes.

I'm not an expert on this strain exactly, but what dishnetguy is saying sounds right to my ear.

Looking forward to some flowers!

I took these pics and switched to 12/12 on 4/3/09. I'm using a 400w HPS Bulb.

looks great man, gotta ask have you got some airflow under that canopy? it looks like you get plenty of room to put a fan in there if you don't, unless your rh is so low its no even a concern? anyway that bush is tiny but massive at the same time, keep it up

Sounds and looks Perfect - #'s are within optimal range and you are staying on schedule! We gonna be watching these gurls "moving on up, to the top" over the next 2-4 weeks, should see very good results esp. when they start to get really hungry somewhere around the end of that 3-4 wk frame. ;-)

From germination to today they are 37 days old. They have been flowering for 13 days. I will be changing the reservoir tonight as well as taking more pictures. I can't seem to keep the PPM very high for two reasons. One, they eat and drink a lot! Two, I haven't worked very hard to keep the PPM up. If I remember correctly the plants are about 3 ft. tall and the light is raised all the way to the top. So hopefully some buds will start growing wildly here real soon.

looks real nice bro, you should start to do some form of training or you will outgrow the space for sure mane. Try looking up lucas formula + add back and there is a way that they got for the full grow w/o any res changes. This is a more advanced technique but you might wanna look into it for the future. Its hydro cheap as hell

Thank you both very much!! I was changing the res last night and the exhaust fan popped out of it's location, fell down and sheared off like 7 fan leaves off one plant :evil: The damage was sustained to at least one side of the plant but it really hurt my feelings. I try and baby these things as much as I can and that was just painful to watch. I'm just worried about stress, slow growth and that plant becoming a hermie.

ye just keep em at a good distance frrom the lights and try not to stress her at all and you wil probably be fine. i also have had the same problem with the fans i use to cool the lights so i made a custome box with some activated carbon so that it couldnt suck in anithing other than air
