are you sure it's heat stress?? what are the temps? Is heat a prob??

I would veg them longer.. I usually veg them until they are at my desired height. Then stunt the growth with bushmaster.

oh i already have one of those and found the Grow faq tab really helpfull, a complete guide on how to build one. My ventilation just isng quite cutting it. plus the attic gets pretty warm durring the day, like high 80's which doesnt help cool to much. Dont want to fuck with CO 2

you should probably start flowering then...if you can have the lights off during the day, and on at night...your grow is completely stealth right?

MM the 12/12 shouldnt be a problem for my autos, thats how i grow em every time bro, and yeah it'll help with the temps if you have lights off in the day...i was having the same probs.
The LS might stretch a lil, but bein as you have around 6-8wks before it'll start flowering, you could just fim it or top it continually with LST too and then just let it flower, or give it a high dose N feed, with low P, which helps delay flowering a lil.

Ya, i thought so, just making sure it was the right thing to do. 6-8 wks? damn 4 reall? thats some crazy shit. I think ill try that fert style, good idea there. i dont know about topping, you think thatd be cool eh?

you can top anything you like,except the autos..just do it while theyre lil, so you can trail em around the tub.
the lifesaver will veg for around 6-8wks before it starts with the preflowers, but once those show it will start budding in a matter of days, and pretty rapidly too.

Hey guys. Im wondering if I will have heat issues running a 150wHPS under a batwing reflector. It will be the basic HTGsupply setup. I will have a 4" Vortex fan connected to a scrubber and there will be a small fan pointed directly at the bulb and another small fan blowing at the canopy. Two small, or one big passive intake will be cut out aswell.

Dimensions are 2'wide X 1'.5"deep X 2'.10" tall

it shouldnt be a problem as long as the ambient room temp isnt above 85˚

how far are you going to have the lights above the canopy?

So where do you peeps look to check your trichs? I have been looking directly on the bud, and there is only about 10% amber, but on the leaves close to the buds, its more like 40% amber. Where is the best place to look?

i scope the entire plant Bx..
tbh i'd chop at what youve described.
i make sure all leaves are atleast covered in cloudy trichs, and that closer to the buds are cloudy / amber.
pure sativa's i pick when tis mostly cloudy with a few amber, but i grow those for my wife, she doesnt like couchy highs..she's all about the giggleyness..foolish girl..lol

happy tokin

id like to get them as close to the light as possible when done flowering. My clones will have about 1' 9" of grow space...well...that's how much space there is till it hits the bottom of the batwing reflector
