Zen I have 4 plants flowered at 12 inches under a 250. Two I LST'd a little and they branched a lot. But they are the perfect size, wouldnt want them any bigger. You have 7!? Are yours sexed? Your expecting to get rid of some males? 7 plants under a 250 flowered at 12 inches is asking too much. The lower 3rd of my plants are getting zero light, And the leaves have been dying from the bottom up. Of course I have a nice small enclosed area to maximize my light. 23inx23inx5ft tall.

Next time I plan to flower at about 9 inches with 6 plants of 6 different varieties.. Of course it depends on variety. If you have pure indicas 12" is about right. I have hybrids, they are 3 weeks in flower and have more then doubled. They are about done with the stretch now. 3 of my varieties next time are pure indica, I might let them veg to 12 inches cus they probably wont even double height in flower. Its gonna take some tweeking for sure for me to get it right with all the strains. Im super anal about keeping my light close and my canapy even. My lights about 2 inches from tops, and I train them to all stay within a few inches of eachother.

What's up? I had one plant that I vegged for 4 weeks and then flowered for 8 1/2 weeks. The plant produced a little over 3oz for me. I did run in to a few problems with the ph meter that caused the ph to be way to low but was able to catch fairly quickly to fix. I use the advanced nuts 3 part system with big bud to advanced nuts website feeding schedule since this was my first grow. Hope this info helps some.

So how much are u expecting from them 4? I have not sexed yet they are all from seed so when they are readdy I will cut clone and root into rockwool and flip them clones on 12/12 so I don't have to waist any valueble vegging time. And about the light I will also be suplying a cupple extra 100w cfls for the bottoms of th plants. My grow space is about 3ftx3ftx 5ft
temps very from 75-85 f
I no for sure one of my hk is male it's very lanky and show the charictoristics of a male plant, but this I okay as I am looking to keep this stain going.
Currently using some ab nuts from a componie called DNA my friend had some so it's was free I mixxed some parana from advanced nutes my plants seem to be loving it. I also have big bud, bud blood ,carbo load and super thrive for when the time comes.
Been having problumes uploading pics so far but I will Keep trying.

Stay Up

Yeah 3 oz isnt too bad from a 250 I dont think. So your breeding and cloning? Id bag the male flowers and kill it as soon as you collect enough pollen to get a few seeds on the plant you want to knock up. And just a few 100s? Your almost doubling your light... Thatll help

Thanks!! I wasn't able to do pictures this round but my next grow will be fun now that I have the first one out of the way. I will try to put up pictures of the setup and the final product of the first grow. It's smokes well and packs a punch. Just the way my wife and I like it. :bigjoint:b Starting next grow this weekend.:-P

Yeh once I get all my plants sexed I'll be putting in 4 100w cfls on the bottoms of my plants to add to my 250 w hps
so I'm hoping for the best with 650w of light, I will also be using molasses for flowering as I allways have and had nothing but good results.

Running 2 dwc tote buckets with 2 5" net pots in each. My first grow 2 were stunted and 1 was male, I was happy with 1 female. 250 hps of course, but I just bought a 250 cfl set to veg with but will also be adding this to the flower stage this time. I have a duct booster for exaust, a 7" circle fan from Walmart and another 7" circle oscillating fan in a 2' L. X 4' W. X 5' H. tent. I'm doing 2 White Widow seeds and 2 Mix Bag Med Grade Unknowns. Friend gave me his seeds and didn't label seeds.

My grow box spec's

size 40x24x53 inchs

light 250w htg hps/mh set up

exhaust fan 8" inline 240 to 500 cfm set on 240cfm

attic space thermostat set on 78 f

small fan inside circulating air

exhaust fan and attic thermostat keep box at 78f fan turns on for five min every 1/2 hour or so.....

I think the light has plenty of lumens for the six plants im growing the shiney bubble wrap helps

they have three way meters for soil, water/light/ph the meter uses photosynthesis to detect light. every where in my box had a good reading.

I also made the box light tight so i could flower with it too. zero light when in the night cycle

Then you more then likely wont need to cool light if you use ur light to heat ur space
