Cheers guys im not working atm so just dont have the money to buy anything but i start a small job next week so i will be buying x 2 400w hps.
I made the rookie mistake of thinking the plants wouldnt grow much on flower other than budding so moved the light and yup strech !
Theres alot ill be doing differently on the next batch thats for sure.
i plan to pick up another cfl today and a small fan to go in the cab as mines died.

haha you should be kind of trying to keep track of things... at least mark shit on a calender.
it helps down the road when your feeding, and if anything bad goes wrong you can look back and see what you have or have not been doing.
and when you get those 400watters your gonna hafto boost your airflow. and make a few adjustments.\\good luck rasta

These photos were taken in my original cab , start of flowering ive got 5 defo fems now and i still have 3 unknown in veg , trying to get a mother going with one of them.
I gained a bug problem as you can see in the picture. i killed most without chems quite effectively too but got some spray and wiped the fuckers out they were feeding on my roots !

Ive been fucking about with the height of the lamp not used to it yet. i get it in a suitable place , then they grow within a day and the tips begin to burn.
dropped the light on the plants this morning so decided to just stick it at the top and leave fuck alone lol.
im trying to clone the bits that broke of but i only have water :/

always nice aint it lol
Ive got the light 20" above the canopy now. I guess ideally i want it about 13"-14" but it feels far too hot on my hand there so its defo going to cook them.
Next on my agenda is to paint / line the inside and sort out some fans mines huge takes up to much space and i have to point it at the wall of the cab or its like a whirl wind in there.
Might be tempted to have the fans out my pc but im not a fan of bodge job wiring.

yeah they are still sitting in the loft and whenever ya pick em up/get em delivered ill throw some clones in for ya as well, got a fair few strains going atm but trying to cut it down from 10 to bout 4 lol, an when ya get a spare £40 it would be well worth you investing in the cloner i bought, getting roots in 7days on everything thats gone in there so far an ya can do 12 at a time, so ya can make some money by selling cuttings to the new growers ya met lolhahaha i even spaced the pic so the doors opened as u scrolled down lol. cheers sae ill have a read , id still ike urs if uve still got them apprently my wages are paying bank charges atm

Also look at www.moneysavingexpert.com to see about reclaiming bank charges
Also also dont get too adventurous now you have a HPS, still switch em to flower at bout 12" otherwise they go mad, my 2 dark stars i waited till they were 18-19" b4 flipping em an theyve stretched to over 5ft lol

thanks dude that would be much appreciated i defo want to get into cloning etc, i should be in the positive in 2 weeks so hopefully buy some more bits.
i kinda made that mistake in my small cab at first i didnt think they'd still grow in flower so hit the roof then flipped them. First cab was maxed out lol.
its was only a few days later i read that they still "veg/grow" in the first 3 weeks of flowering.
Going to go prep some pots and start germing some new babys , not sure what good seeds ive got now wasted 24 germing in rooting pellets. >.<
got loads of the poo strain but dont wanna use them might try tap one of the locals up for some seeds
