Yeah man, they're under a sun blaze 48 - 4 foot 8 bulb fixture. 54 watts each - 432 watts total. Hardly any heat, plants can get right up under it.
2 weeks today. All is well. Prob going to do first dose of big bloom next watering.
As far as the flower tent I may do one more watering for the ultra Sonja and let her dry out but then she's comin down. NYCDs aren't far behind.

whats the space on that rig? I've never worked with floros..
I was also looking at zip tying some floros to the poles! Now that I have more space to work with, if I'm only running two plants! I think that will be a lot easier with only two.
more on the zip tying floros to the poles after i figure out my veg floros though
shit I thought this was my journal sorry for the long post
sour diesel fuuucking my shit up

Yo guys -
Been a few days since I posted. Have been busy gettin moved into the new crib! The move went ok I think for the little girls. They showed a bit of wilting and sadness, but think they are starting to perk back up.
Have started construction on the new flowering room. Lookin pretty decent I think. It's 8'6" x 6'9". Going to be running two 600 watt lamps. Got the brand new one set up, am going to have to wait for the NYCDs in the tent to finish before I get the second one set up. Getting pretty excited. This will be my first time actually working with a ROOM. Feel like I've waited long enough, about damn time. Stoked to see what I can do with it.
Mmmm not much new to report though. Here in a few days when I feel the babies have fully bounced back from any stress, they're all going into 5 gallon buckets. Sure do wish they'd get some height, but soon enough I imagine. Fat squat little ladies they are. But so yeah. Update soon - oh, Ultra Sonja is getting last light period tonight, then will go into darkness for 24-48 hrs then will be time to chop her up!
Beginnings of the flower room:
Little ones (and some of my first attempts at cloning, 3 have rooted):

Yeah, got a 6 in max fan that'll be pullin through a can33? I think it's a can33.. As far as exhausting, I have a couple of options. Lazy option is to just exhaust it into the main area of the basement.... Second option is there is this duct in the closet of the grow room that literally just goes straight up to an open vent in the floor above it..could just blow the air up and out of there. Third and probably smartest option is to run ducting ALL the way across the basement to the laundry room - there is a window that opens but is covered by my backyard porch, so isn't visible from outside. Dirty as fuck under there, but acsess to the outside I guess. So yeah, not exactly sure how I'm gunna run that yet, but should be able to figure it out...in theory...hopefully lol

Just got done transplanting all 15 kids into 5 gallon buckets. I'm fucking exhausted. Will update in a few days when they have perked back up. Lots of work to do in the grow room this weekend.

Plants look great. How long are you going to keep them under fluorescent?

5 gallon pots are COOL! We like 5 gallon buckets too! Any ways they are going to love all that extra space, but also you might just have to water more often depending on your temps and humidity. Looking superb!

Well, plants perked right back up! Less than 24 hrs and they are reaching for the light! Little to no signs of transplant stress aside from the initial wilting. I'm hoping that with the extra space they really start to blow up soon.
This weekend I'm gunna get the rest of the room poly'd. Then going to rig up a temporary filter>light>fan>exhaust set up that Im going to run until the tent finishes and I get all of that equipment. My plan is once I get the first 600 going, flip to 18/6 with the flouro fixture still on too. Run 18/6 until I reach desired height. I'm hoping to get the other hps in there before I flip to 12/12, but may run 12/12 for like a week before the other light finishes in the tent. The last NYCD still has like 3 weeks, don't know if the babies will veg for that much longer or not..
Speaking of my tent, (obv been busy w the seedlings) the ultra Sonja ended up having her last light period last night. Is in 24-48 hrs of darkness right now before I chop her up. Ended up letting her go 66 days. Will get some pics of her and the NYCDs up soon.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.
Verde - no I didn't use anything, just plain ph adj. water.
Day 68/49 in the flower tent. NYCDs in the back are getting close. Have been on straight h2o for around 2 weeks, and may have gotten their last drink last night. Gave NYCD in the front a pretty heavy feeding last night - 2 tsp tiger bloom, 1 tsp grow big, 1 Tbsp big bloom. Gave her the whole gallon.
The ultra Sonja is finishing up her dark period and I will be chopping and trimming her this afternoon. Will post pics later of her and the harvest

pick up some Super Trive or Trive Alive at your hydro store 
Seriously I was a non believer before but I'm def keeping it around more often it makes my plants way happier.. I even used it on my tomatos when transplanting and it really helped them
Home Depot has Super Thrive... a hydro store would have more options (organic and whatnot), it's like $10 at home depot
It's not something they need but they sure like it. I had to cut my plants in half (literally) in flower because they stretched 5x... and I did a NICE h2o soak with 5mL/gal of water and they didn't even seem to notice! They just kept on trucking.
Looking good though
