this is my first grow room. the plants r 5-6 weeks old. they just started veggie under a 400 mh and will a few more weeks before i change it to a new 400 plantlight with red spectrum lighting for veg and flowering! im pretty excited!:leaf: I have also transplanted almost all of the plants in suitable buckets with perlite and verniculite. only a few r left to do in the blue coffe jugs, used what i had, and will eliminate most of dirt. this is my last grow in dirt. i use nukes and will start the flowering nukes next feeding. will post some more pics in a week!:weed:

You have your work cut out for you my friend.

If I may give some friendly advice:
Your plants are severely stretched, they need those lights closer to them.
Get a fan in there to circulate the air, an occilating fan would be great. It would strenghthen those stems. To support the big buds your gonna get. Those plants are very healthy though. keep up the good work. Subscribed.
 
get ride of half of those plants... air cool your 400 and drop the light to within 1ft. cut it down to as many plant you can fit in a 4by4 square... and yes the stretching is quite bad,its gonna lead to bad genes and more males no doubt.........start small! no many have a grow room to call their own. dont RUSH!!

yes your plants need to be inside a 4x4 area. Thats about it for a 400w.
First pic is 14 days from sprtout the other is 4 weeks. You can't tell me this streching is due to light. It's never more then a foot off the plants.

They are stretched a bit and defitnitly in a too big of a room and how the plants are spaced.
I think you should get some fans and put the pots more closer in middle and put the lights closer. Should repot those cups before flowering too.

sorry i got no pics, my camera lady and advisor had a disagreement so....:cry: I started the girls on a 12/12 cycle, to me they r doing great for my first time, but we will see. i am down to 29 plants and i got one thay doesnt look good and will probably be pulled. so far it seems they r all female but 3, but because i am severely sight impaired, even with a magnifyer i am not sure, and the number of females seems high! the good side is, they r growing, i am learning and i love 420!:blsmoke:

wow if you plan on growing all those plants you better get some more lighting asap brother...400 fits about a 4 by 4 area. approx. 6 decent size plants and that pushing it...

good luck
