I have been growng my GDP girls under a 1000w lumatek HPS dimmed to 600w. Temps are 75-83 F. 24 hour light cycle.I have been keeping the nutes organic and started with a little Humboldt Verde because of a nitrogen deficiency(that verdes crazy its like 16-2-1 or something). After a feeding or two I changed to a more moderately balanced Earth Juice Grow. I messed up in the begining by using tap water and the Verde by its self(without sipplemental p or k. Now things are looking good though. Theyre established and starting to take off. I've been pinning the highest growth down with paperclips and cutup wire clothes hangers. Its working good and the new growth is spreading out instead of up. Tell me what you think and give me any advice you can. I'm especially interested in any info youve got on the GDP strain. Thanks in advance Pics up later tonight probably, Definitely by tomorrow.

Alright the first two are about a week and a day ago and the others are from yesterday after I pinned more branches down. Tell me what you think and any improvements I could make. I'm hopin the pictures bring some more input.I'm looking for all the advice I can get especially since most of the GDP grows I've seen weren't the best yielders. Thanks guys.

Thats a yes on the hps..I added some more soil to a couple of them, but they kept falling apart when I would take them out to add the soil. I ended up just deciding to wait a little while so the roots could spread a little more and hold the soil together a little better. I might try again tomorrow before I take pictures. Thanks for the input guys.

I was watering last night and it felt warmer than usual so i looked at my thermometer. It was just above 90 degrees. So then I looked around and looked up. The ducting from my hood to my exhaust fan disconnected and the end that was supposed to be on the fan was laying on the ground. I'm just glad I caught it before I stressed them too much.. theyre looking great and have really taken off..sorry about the delay but pics coming soon

GDP is one of my favorite purp strains, I forget the genetics, but its quite common up here in nor cal at the dispensaries. What kind of humidity levels you got going on there?
