Hey man, a couple questions about your set up. With your 400w hps, you don't need a 6 inch inline fan pulling out air from that lamp heat? It looks like there is no fan sucking or blowing air through the ducts. Also are all those seeds feminized? How do you expect to grow all of those in that space? hopefully they are not feminized and half of them turn to be ladies. is that was your shooting for? The light green is nothing to worry about. Just follow your feeding schedule. Your fox farm nutes schedule says you should add grow big in like week 2 after vegging I THINK. When i used the fox farm i used the open ses. cha ching and beasite budz,they were a great addition if you have an extra 100 bucks to put into this. I also added KOOL BLOOM into the fox farm schedule. The buds were so amazing.

First question, there are two fans actually, they are 6" duct fans, one is in the black sleeve in the top of the pictures, it pulls out air at a very good rate but I have a 18" carbon filter on the way plus a 6 in Can-Fan High Output to keep air very clean, I know it is a huge overkill but I will get a RPM Switch to lower the RPMs. I plan to expand my grow room so that is why I am getting things that give me some flexibility. I have another 6" duct fan pulling air through the Hood. Keeps temps in tent at a nice 72-76 F. I mentioned it in the first pages but yea, they were not fems, I started with 14, am now down to 11, 3 of which are confirmed females and 8 still no sign. I think the rest of them are females because the males showed sex weeks ago. Either way I need to get them down to 9 at the most. If I have too, I am prepared too implement some Darwinism and pick the weakest plants left and remove them. I might put them outside, feed them, and let nature run its course.

I will put some pix up today. I am going to put in the HPS bulb today, the green is completely back now, I read that when the lights are off plants release liquids into the root ball. That is why the nutes I had given them had not been sucked up yet. I will post pix in a few guys.

Thanks guys, here are some pix of a couple of minutes ago, they are now under the AgroMax HPS bulb. Do you guys feed them nutes two times in a row or do you guys flush after each feeding of nutes? I want to feed them again but I am afraid of toxicity issues. I have been giving them less than the rocommended dosages and they have been taking it well.

hey man as far as i have learned uninterupted dark is crucial for 12 hours during day (lights on) it is not as crucial a friend of mine waits till his lights come on at night ,sprays neem and gives them two hours dark after spraying .

Hello guys

Hay 619sixfour nice grow man. I was looking at your pics and seen one of you plants is a lot taller than the rest. You could tie it down and bend the plant a little each day until it is the same height as the rest, then you could lower the light more without burning the tall plant.

Keep up the good work man ill be watching +rep:bigjoint:

This is my first post on RIU but I have been looking round the site for a while now. I’m in the middle of buying my new setup, I’m going all out for my 4th grow. I will hopefully be getting a grow journal of my own going.

I have done that a few times and the results are never what i wanted. I'd say keep them on there regular schedule so you don't stress them at all. If you think they are deficient just add more next feeding. From my local hydro store I found this stuff called SWEET. It helps with smell, lower minerals, and overfeeding problems. What i do is kinda overfeed them A LITTLE (nitrogen is my only over feeding problem) and just add sweet to make up for any problems. (i'm no expert but i did grow 7 oz's from 4 plants on my first soil grow!!)

Yea your right, if ain't broke don't fix it. I will flush them with Kleen and regular PH'd water and Sweet. The next watering I will use both FloraNova Grow and Bloom for the transition. I will post up some more pix tonight or tomorrow depending on how I feel. Stay tuned fockers.

I was going to water them last night but they are all still pretty moist except for the super female that is just really thirsty, I gaver her about two cups of plain PHd water just to hold her over until I water all of them tonight. I will post pics tonight.

I would do nutrients once a week and let the additional waterings wash all the old nutes out and prepare for the following weeks feeding. P.S. I found some stuff at the hydro store that stops a plant from growing once you get it to the height you'd like. If you ever have tall plants being an issue you can feed your plants some of that stuff and they will just bush out. Nice looking grow by the way.

Thanks for the info, tonight I will just water them with some Kleen and PH'd water to flush them before I give them their next nutes. That product you speak of, sounds really cool, any names or websites I could check out? Thanks for looking and for the advise.

Ok guys, like you suggested I flushed them with Kleen and PH'd water. Here are some pictures of the watering and some of the girls





Enjoy and I appreciate the comments and advise.
Next week I will feed them, they look like they could use some.

Some leaf curling, but otherwise looks really good. Over/underwatered? Dunno, but doesn't look like anything major.... did they just wake up from the dark? Cheers...

LoL, Yea I had just pulled them out from their good nights sleep. I was waiting outside the tent like a little kid watching the clock tick down to lights on.

I will post pics of them tonight. I cant wait to see the little white flower spots everywhere. What do you guys do when there is one or two plants that drink more water than the rest? Do you guys water your entire crop at one time or do you check each potter individually?
