How am I doing?

Hi, newbie here
4/4/6 growbox 1000 hps, 19in pots, happy frog soil, 4 weeks into flower, feeding every third water with technaflora pura vida bloom 1/2 recommended dose. Growing 4 strains Chernobyl, Gauva Kush, Sour Kush, Blue City Diesel. 3 hybrids, blue city is Indica. Temps are steady between 75-80. Humidity is between 30-42%. Started all from clones. Using distilled ph water, tap is on a water softener system.
Appreciate any comments.
Having a yellowing leaves on one of the hybrids, haven't done anything about it yet. Haven't really given a lot of nutes. Been watering about every 5 days, after 3in of top soil drys out.

Id say the pots are way too big. You coulda fit five more plants in there. And you lollypoped way too high. But the room looks good and the plants look good, minus all the trimming. A little under cut is good. Leaving nothing but the top buds is bad for production.

Right on thx, first grow. Next time work on lollypopping better. Only have 4 per Oregon State Laws.

I think you lolypoped a little high and took off too many leaves. Its good to trim some inner branches and lower branches on some plants not all. unless you're mainlining I wouldn't trim off that much. You probably stunted them a bit. over sized pots are fine you just want the plant to grow into it before you flower. You're room would be brighter if it were all white. I don't care for technaflora myself. Not all bad though, they're not dead, can't see any bugs, they seem healthy.

Oh ok, gottcha. Ya to use the lights full potential you want to fill the horizontal "footprint" of your light. That will give you the most outta your room. Lots of guys do scrog in the size room you have. Just flatten out the canopy under a net and then al those buds you trimmed off will become top buds! Or apical tops. It will probably double your production per plant. Sounds good right?!

NugzOregon I tried to look up your law it seems like you can have an unlimited number of veg plants and why this is important is because you can preveg the plants to a huge size before flowering. This means you can have about a pound every flowering cycle if you run perpetual. It is very important that you start your clones in a small planter then transplant to slightly larger planters at the correct time in order to get the most out of clones. They don't have a tap root and don't form a great root ball on their own, start in solo cups with 4 holes cut in the bottom. Then transplant when roots come out the holes and the root ball is the shape of the cup striped heavily in marbled streaks of root/dirt. (youtube is great here)

I use 6500K fluoros a mixture of 4 foot T5 High Output and 4 foot fluoro shop lights. Depending on your veg room size you will grow the biggest veg plants you can. Do the math on 6 months for example if your strain flowered in 70 days. 180 days is a little over 2.5 flowering cycles so at most you need 4 sets of 4 to cover it they will be 70 days apart in age. I am stoned so math isn't my friend right now but I guess you'd need 16 plants in veg now to get caught up then 4 more placed in there in 70 days (is that one too many? hmm I dunno I need to roll a joint).. Pretty sure it is 16 veg plants to run a 6 month perpetual for you.

Hey thanks for all the comments. Gotta work on lollypopping next time. The Blue City Diesel is for sure stunted I think, but surprisingly has like 7 phat tops. The other 3 hybrids didn't really get a lot bigger once I switched to 12/12. Room is 6ft tall, I got them to about 2.5 -3ft tall during veg. I'am happy at where I'am at with them I think, they look ok I think, haha so stressful lol.

@MeJuana really that's interesting. So the 4 plant limit per household refers to Flowering plants? That's awesome. I actually have 3 clones from the Chernobyl going in a small closet under a T5 lol. The Chernobyl is my one plant out of the 4 of them that had absolutely zero problems.

Hey for drying, was just going to Hangup in grow closest for the 5-7 days with door shut, with my exhaust fan running with passive air intake. I can also watch temps and humidity levels as well.

NugzOregon I don't know for sure I think I seen that in something I read really fast. I am curious if you get a chance to find out if you can have unlimited veg plants.
