Thoughts and advice!!

Gc313 · Dec 6, 2016

Hi, this is my first grow any advise or thoughts as to how my plants look or what I can expect would be greatly appreciated..well I have three black waters under 1000 w mh/hps. In seven gallon buckets with soil...go box nutes.. everything solid ph and temp .been in veg for two and a half months there about 28 inches tall by 16 inches wide I topped once and fim several times. I don't have any real questions just more would like to know if I'm doing it right , if they look good and what they could yield...I know it's a basic thread but would be great to verify if I'm doing it right and they look decent or get better through corrective criticism..

Looks great man, using my theoretical theory, you can determine weight. The equation is Lumens^6 Pound. I've gone ahead and did the math for you, it's comes out to about a pound.

Thinks for the advice brother! Do you think that it looks like a plant capible if producing?

I have used the go box several times, and my one recommendation would be to mix it lighter than recommended. Those nutrients come super concentrated making it really easy to burn your plants.

Your plants look good, but seems like there are some watering issues. How often do you water nutes compared to just plain PHd water?

I water when the soil dries out ..and nutes every third water..do you think I should mix in fewer intervals? What sights of water problems are you seeing

take horizontal picture please. I want to see all the plants.
It looks small for being 2 months in a 7 gallon pot under a 1000 watt HID

these giants will be unwilling to comply with your restraints soon.

Will do when I get home from end to end it's about 16 or eighteen inches my first three weeks were horrible so I would say that stunted growth

It may seem excessive considering I only have three plants in a tent but what do you think about hooking another 1000w hps in there vertically

Do it, you can never have too much .

Hmmmm....Not so sure the majority of responses up there ^ are serious! "About a pound" is the standard "tongue in cheek" answer to a newb question about their plant(s).

With that said, I think your plant looks good and I would suggest flipping to flower now as it will stretch during transition. Tho we don't know the size of your grow room/tent as that will have a bearing on your decision as to when to flip too!

Also you will only need one 1000 watt MH/HPS...no need to have a second with just one or a few plants!

So....Yah, about a pound!

Cheers and Merry Christmas!
