I use big bloom tiger bloom and grow big. Big bloom has been used from germination on. I do add extra nitrogen after 3 weeks in veg. Some fish emulsion and dried blood to perk it up. Here's some pics. They're 47 days into flowering they vegged for 30 days. Thats a 4x4x6.5 tent with a 400 hps cool tube. Also used molasses, kool bloom, and pirahna but that was only use for the first 2-3 weeks in veg for good root system. How do they look? Any guesses on how much yeild? I'd says 40% pistels have changed and the trichromes are 75% cloudy 15% 10% amber.. rough numbers

Dude.. your plants look bomb ;-) I'll be thrilled if mine look like that 4 weeks from now.

Here are my babes. I started with 8 -- 6 indica-type bagseed and 2 bubblelicious. The bub's went male, as did two of the bagseed. So, I've got four girls left growing me out of house and home (good thing I've got 9 feet of headroom at the rate they're putting on..).

I vegged 4 weeks under 400W MH, then switched to 12/12 HPS. They're in pre-ferted MG potting soil.. I've just started adding FF Grow Big the last couple weeks, and will switch to Tiger Bloom now that flowers are starting to show.

I'll keep y'all posted..!

PS: the last pic is of glossy stem bases that showed up only on my females, well ahead of any other signs of sex. Anyone else ever notice this?

I wonder how average my plants are for using a 400 watt light...above below?

Well, this comes from a noob, but I think your plants look dense and sweet :bigjoint: I don't know about expected yield -- I hear "a gram per watt" and 2oz per plant a lot for 400W grows. In my very non-expert opinion, it looks like you're in the range.

Sounds like you're literally days from harvest -- I'm jealous! A 1/4 sounds quite reasonable... Based on other stuff I've read in RIU, it seems like there's a 60-80% weight reduction during drying, but it looks like you've got the volume to end at 1/4lb.

Man, a f*ckin' 1/4lb of top-shelf dope..mmmmmmmm...

Did you do any LST? It looks like your grow space is pretty well occupied, but this is a way to get total canopy coverage in your space. I'm just starting with it, but have seen other people's grows where they've got all the gaps filled, and just about all the buds are the same distance under the light..

Yeah I trained most of the brandches to fill the area. both plants were topped after 2 weeks of veg. The one on the left ended up with 4 colas somehow.. I dunno how it happened and the one on the right has just 2 colas

420weedman, nice buds. i got a question for all of you who use a 400 watt HPS. my grow space is a cabinet its 3x3x7. i wanted to start budding the other day and i hooked up my light and the room got over 100 in like five mins. i had to fans blowing on the light and it still was hot and my fans are both really strong. is it too much for the space

You MUST remove warm air from the space. Blowing the air around does no good if it stays in the cabinet. Need an exhaust fan.

I used to run my 400watt in a 2'x2'x5' space, but I had a 465cfm exhaust fan for cooling. Your "powerful" fans are doing nothing if they are not exhasting the air. You can blow as much hot air around as you want and it wont cool it a bit.

Make sure you exhaust fan is an inline fan or blower. Duct boost fans will not work well and your standard standing fan will do nothing for you.
