Honestly you say you have been flowering since 2-28-11 so they have been in there 9 weeks I would say look at the crystals to see what color they are if they are milky white pull it. Although depending on strain that thing is done bro. You are lucky to have as much as you have on there with only running those 2 75 watt lights. I am surprised you even got that much... Pull em dry em and smoke em is what I say.

Check out my grow + rep if you like it.

well i mean i cant really see that well cause i dont have a magnifier yet but the majority of them are turning a bit milky but then theres some that dont even look like they really started to devolope yet. still clear and a few of the tops are really just starting to flower now. im gonna try and track down a magnifier today to see if i can get a few good pics to post.

Yeah, i grew out a bagseed last round and didn't take a cutting b/c i've never had much luck with bagseed. What a f'in mistake! That was the strongest Blueberry smelling weed i've ever seen. Only got an oz outta her, but it was stoney. Lesson learned.

i use Grandmother's Blackstrap. If you have yellowing, you might try some nitrogen too. Guano, etc.

deadlee, thx man. ill take a look td and see if i can find some of it. think i could just give a weak solution of the 20/20/20 stuff? i dunno if id be able to find guano here. not to many dedicated garden centers here. and doubtful id have enough time to order it in.

anyone here usin 600w hps? around how much does it cost to run them for a month? i have a 600w hps kickin around here but im just worried it'll spike my bill if i try and finish her off with it. i would like to get as much as i can out of er though and this shitty 150w light just isnt doing it justice.

The nutes, i don't see why not. But you can buy inexpensive nitrogen sources at Walmart. And i'd say go 1/2 to start. You may end up at full strength depending on the needs of your strain. My Trainwreck was hungry as hell.

i run a 600w HPS with fluoro/cfl sidelighting. 12/12 costs me about & 30/mo and 20/4 costs about $50/mo.

i couldn't affor the MH bulb even though i have a switchable ballast, so i'm using HPS and 6500k fluoro to get a little better veg spectrum. It's actually making them bushy as hell. This is my first go with supplemental lighting though.

idk too much when it comes to ppm. i'm learning, as i get into DWC, but let me send out a couple messages to growers i know here and see if they can't help you.

Where you may have gone wrong in your veg, is not allowing the plant any down time without light.... 18/6 works better than 24/0 with HID intensity

P.S. I heard vegging works best for some plants like 17/7 or 16/8 with HID

Yeah. i've been experimenting with light scheds to see. My initial crop was 18/6, then 24/0 on the next(HORRIBLE, imho) and i've been trying to find that balance which i think is different dependent on strain too.
