Ohh ok.... my ALMOST disaster.. well as you can see in the back row of my setup. I accidently watered the plants with water that has gone through my water softener:spew: . I wont tell you who did it because I dont want to implicate my wife in any wrong doing *wink wink* but I think they will recover pretty well. They seem to be ok except for the very tips of the newer leafs began to droop and you can see the obvious damage to the lower leaves. It looks like potasium OD or something similar. I gave them good water and actually gave them botled water today to make sure they were getting good water.

IM putting a 400 MH next to my 400HPS because my outer plants lean too much too. Im in a 4x4 exact room and have 13 plants. Same pots as you, I thought they were 3 gallon but I dont know, I think there perfect size for mature plants though. Anyway I dont think you can really do more than 6 plants per light (400 watt at least) realistic after getting setup, but with 800 watts, my 13 are perfect and should bring me a LB. If all goes well im trying a 600 watt HPS and 400 MH.


Anyway, noticed you have same large pots and same lack of space per 400watts so if you want take a look at my grow, got a video on there too, and Ill be adding a 400 MH this week, Im wiring the ballast for it now so you can see similar room with two 400 bulbs as your thinking also.

my video 4x4 hydrohut, 1 400watt for now. 800 watts soon. weed in hydrohut video on Educational

Yea mine are leaning but this is my first go round so well see how they do. The pots you have are two gallon if they are the same as mine. I think another 400MH/HPS setup is the key. I may just get one soon. Ill let you know. If i can close these couple of contracts in the next week or so. I think Ill pony up for one more like i have now. I watched your vid. How do you have your lights strung? i want to use some sort of pully system but right now I only have a manual system. Any ideas? Thanks for reading my grow!!

hey Cidly, I'm upgrading to a 600 watt or a 1000 watt I let you know what I find. They sell hangers for the light at HTGsupply or hooks and chain works.

Cid, looking good there, bud. I'm glad your wife is onboard. Mine is a toker, so I didn't have to twist her arm too much, although she's not liking the lack of closet space.

Dude, you HAVE to get a HPS light for flowering. After all the work you've put in, you don't want to sell those girls short. I have my 3 girls vegging under 400W MH and yesterday I picked up a used 400W HPs. Both my lights are used but I got them both for under $200 total and that's the reflector, ballast and bulb. Unless I LST or FIM like a mofo, I don't think I'll be able to separate my growbox into a mom/clone veg chamber and a flower chamber. I may have to go with 2 separate grow areas. I actually have a 2'x2' area in my closet right next to the growbox that would be ideal for keeping the mom and clones.

I'll be following along with your grow. Good luck!

My girl hates it in the beginning, but once the buds start forming and she can smoke some...oh how she changes.

Hear me.. yea bro i have a 400HPS i got the system from HTS... here take a look... High Tech Garden Supply. Thuis is the system I am going to double it with, dual 400W MH/HPS. Actually i only want to grow for my own use so I guess ill need to get a couple of grows in to see what I can yield under a 400W system.:joint: If i can yield enough... enough.. HA... how can you ever have ENOUGH weed?... I mean i smoke about 1oz a week

I ordered my pulleys from ebay. They were $10 bucks delivered. I compared them to the hydrofarm ones in the store and they were exact duplicates nothing different. Except of course hydrofarms cost $20. and tax would bring that to 23. so 10 delivered on the dot was nice. I recommend it but of course thats provided your light isnt heavy, and as long as you dont have ballast built in im sure it can support it cause theyre pretty diesel. Im actually ordering another set for this 4 light t5 setup I just got. Ill have vids this week, the site takes forever for vids to be processed and get a link is why

Cidly I watched the video.Plants looked pretty droopy.I didnt see any intakes or outlet fans looked like you taped them all up.Did you add some in and out fans as the air is probably bad in there since you need fresh air in and the old air out few times aday.Did you set up a drip line for watering as you wont be able to water the back row or 2 in a week or 2 as they fill in.Mine are at end of week 3 from clone and I cant get anywhere near the back or middle of my grow

How do you keep the mother plant around? does it stay in an extended veg state? How does that work i wonder. Also how many plants can you grow under that 400watt system without straining any of the plants? Thanks
