time to get busy! -1000hps&400mh-

nice dude, i like how everythings lookin. do u top ur plants? bend them? i have so many to work with, trying to figure out what the best methods are, right now im just vegging everything and flowering 2 autogrowers, and continueing to clone, i have 7 potted now and more rooting in the dome.

growing 12 from seed, 2 are only babys at 5 inches rest are about a foot and a half, those 7 clones all under a 400watt MH

then i have 2 autogrowers flowering under a 1000watt HPS thats on 18/6, also veg. my mother under it cuz theres clearly no further room under the 400MH

need to get a bulb for my 1000watt MH right now and mayb a light mover kit for both MHs to run on for a massive veg area, this is all my first go so i wanna get the most out of everything along with QUALITY! hense me mentioning this i see how huge ur calists are (cant spell it).. tips? thanx bro

thanks for stoppn by Gibbs
actually i do a bit of all, the SSH strains does alot better if i top, then bend em and vegg for a while. the Blue dream is doing waayy better going straight from clone to flower, and just letting em grow. they all look like i lollipoped em on purpose, but its just how they grew lol one BIG fat main stem with a huge cola on top.
honestly, the best method depends on the strain's traits, and your setup.

sounds like you have a good system going, make sure not to over welm yourself tho. some people tend to look at the "forest" instead of each "tree" indivudually, watching and learning your plants is important when looking for size and quality. the main things i learned that get me far better results is FRESH AIR, lol. it was amazing what a diffrence it made getting a constant flow of fresh air in my grow room, and also treating each plant as and indivudual. i used to feed plants on a shedule, always ran into deficiencies and under/overwatered palnts, the lil extra work payed off, started keeping track of each feeding for each plant and all my problems went away =] also i noticed my yeilds were ALOT better size/quality wise. once you can read and listen to your plants, you can give them what they want as soon as they need it, instead of a day or so after. witch makes a HUGE diffrence. i guess i dont really have any "tricks" or methods to get my plants or buds the way they are, other then giving them what they want when they want it lol. and treating them as the living creatures they are, not just a pretty cash crop or "drug".

wow you fit all them flowering under just one 1,000w hps? how far away is the light from the furtest plant out, do you use a light mover or anything, or like rotate your plants into the middle of the light or something? thats quite the setup looks very legit

a 1000 w hps and a 400 w MH, the lights were about 16-18 inches above the plants, and the furthest one out was about 2 - 2 1/2 FT from the center. i just rotate them everyday. i actually just harvested this round about a week ago, forgot to update pics so heres a few =] took a few of the new line up of clones and mother plants
thanks!

Thank you so much for saying that - I have learned a lot this summer and that by far is definitely true. You gotta treat your girls like kids, they all need something different. I thought growing was going to be easy and it truly takes some dedication. I have really enjoyed watching your progress. I will journal and get some shots up and perhaps I get get some good advice from you and others.
