1st Grow 400W MH/HPS Ebb & Flow

how many females did you end up with??and how tall are they???lets see some pix bra

Ended up with 7 females. Tallest is 5 ft. Shortest is 3 ft. Way taller than I would have liked. Thats why I decided to go with the topping technique this time. Ill get some more pics up this week.

A few pics...

Pics in Order:
1.) The love of my life!!! My second half!!!
2.) Some buds
3.) Should have topped them!!!!!
4.) In the process of building new tent
5.) Thick stalks!!
6.) More buds
7.) Widow, Kush, God Bud
8.) My beautiful female widow. Im letting her enjoy most of the light (except for the clone in the back) Im going to keep topping her for maximum yield. Sort of a trial for me.

Hey guys. Is there a line of nutrients out there that is better than House and Garden? Just curious. I just cant see anything being better.

People seem to like canna nutes esp with coco, I've been fond of Ionic now that I've got my schedules figured out. A lot of people out west are using AN products like sensi. Dynagrow seem to be other popular buget nutes. Fox farm also well liked, it's all preference and advertising really. Finding which one and which schedule works best for you is the challenge. What is house and garden anyways?

Ok cool Thx.

House and Garden is from a small town right outside of Amsterdam. http://www.house-garden.us/ These nutes were highly recommended to me by a grower. They seem to be AWESOME!!! Just was curious as to what seems to be the KING of all Nutes.

New Update of the girls at the end of 6 weeks flower. Trichomes are turning Milky/Amber so I should be right on pace for one more week of nutes and 7-10 Day Flush. We'll see.

7 day flush seems to be plenty in hydro/Flood & drain. Plan on using a additive like clearex or just plain water? I researched some more about H&G, seems it was created by a guy who left canna. Good stuff indeed, I might have to give it a try in the future, unfortunately closest supplier is 1 hour drive. Best of luck on the remainder of the grow.

Edit: Can you throw up some lights out pics for us? Right after your 12 cycle shoot a few flash shots. Amazing the difference in look.

Ok thats good to hear. I was hoping to only have to do 7 days. I planned on just doing plain water. I really feel as if you cant get much cleaner or more fresh than plain water. Oh wow I had no idea about that H & G history. Its def really good stuff dude. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Damn that sucks that the nearest supplier is an hour. Well worth it though if you get the big jugs of it. prob get you through like 2 harvests.

Thanks man Im hoping this crop comes out decent. Then I can get the pineapple and all the other crazy shit started!!! My one widow female so far that Im topping is getting so bushy since I topped all of her node sites. I'll do it for another week. Then I'll let her bush out for a week after that, then flower her. Hoping for a big yield from her. She'll be a nice size shrub

I'll get some pictures with the lights out when I go back tomorrow. I'll be there all night tomorrow checking all the levels and trimming and all.

You will be amazed the difference genetics will make in your grow. It's funny because all of my bag seed look similar, smaller buds, airier, less resin, more leaf in the bud. The bag seeds don't tolerate the nutrients as well either. I will never grow another 'bag seed' again.

Haha. Me Neither!!!! My widow is about 12" tall and already has 13 nodes. Freaking crazy!!!!

Leaves are dying off just in time for my flush Saturday!!!

Nice bud shots, rep if I can. You have a lot of plants with pure white hairs. You might considering harvesting the ones that already have orange hairs started when you plan and letting the rest go a extra week or so. They could have some sativa genetics in them and they take a bit longer to finish. If your ready to rock out the next round though, screw it and take em early lol.

Lol I hear ya. I was thinking of harvesting 3 of them and letting the rest ride it out for a week or two. Not sure yet. I have 20 other plants still vegging and getting topped under my new t5 light so Im in no rush. All 3 tents are occupied. I have a nice topped widow and clone flowering in my other flower tent. She's so short and bushy, I love her!!!

One bud that I trimmed a few minutes ago

Am I the only one that thinks these plant look far from finished? The density,hairs, bud formations still look like they need multiple weeks to flower.

Indeed..

I completely agree that they look that way but it was weird. I looked through the microscope and half the trichomes were cloudy and half amber. In person the hairs look much more orange than they do in the pics. Very frosty. This was my first grow so I was a little scared to let them go too long These were just bag seeds for trial anyway. No worries. I have Kush, White Widow and God bud all going now. Ive topped them all and they are getting verrrryyyyyy bushy. Im really excited about them.

Maybe after they dry out they'll look better?

Any thoughts?
