315cmh CLOSET GROW

more pics
That's quite a large footprint, what is it taking up? The light looks close to the canopy, keep an eye out for any bleaching on the top layer. I've seen it on several strains when I've tried it below 20". Typically run them 20-22" above canopy and it's not bad. Plants look great...
 
Looking good Toxic

only thing I`d suggest past adding more lights would be topping your pots with a layer or perlite, it helps save a bit of water, reflects light and heat and it stops bugs getting into the rootzone

maybe try it next time, if thrips get into the dirt they can be such a bitch to wipe out
 
Yeah groerr I rotated the canopy a bit cause I noticed some slight heat stress I can raise the whole grow room up a foot or so if you guys feel it's necessary, will I see height growth still ? Or the plants just focused on flowers ? Also thanks for the advice konass I'll look into I did put a small layer of rocks on top and put soil on top of them

They look far enough into flowering that any stretching should be pretty well done. I typically let them stretch into the light and guess at where they'll land after the stretch. Once they're about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks in and look like they've stopped stretching I adjust to the final height of 20-22". Cheers.
 
Help GroErr !!! Why is my bud production look so low i only have 10 days left till "harvest" where did i go wrong...
Well that's a tough question, plant looks great to me, a little small for the pot but quality and health of the plant looks good! Doesn't look like you stressed it or anything, some training like Super-cropping and FIM or Top while vegging can increase your production. I use both Super-crop and FIM on every plant I flower unless I'm doing a pheno hunt, those are the only plants I'll let flower without training to gage the natural growth pattern/production. You can take a relatively low or medium production plant and turn it into a decent producer with some training.

That said, genetics plays the biggest role, not sure what strain that is but I run strains that produce very little compared to others, but I like the quality so I don't mind. Try training a clone from it if you kept one and you'll get an idea of how much more you can get from a plant with a little training. Lots of reference info on this site if you search for super-crop, FIM, or Topping. Cheers.

Here's one that normally would produce "medium". With some super-crops and FIM's, it produces more or less 50% more than letting it grow naturally:

So i got home and measured I'm about 10" away from the tallest cola. I really don't want to have to raise this grow room any higher just for the sake of having to move everything, I'd hate to break a bulb or plant by accident. You think It would be okay if I left it as is and just pay close attention to stress and burn. Like I said before the tallest cola had very slight heat stress with the leaves curling up ward, but no signs of yellowing
 
Yeah you're going to get some bleaching/burn at 10", I ran it from 14" to 22" to find an area where most strains can handle the intensity and it stopped around 18-20" depending on strains. At 14" I moved it up within a week, was seeing bleaching on all of them. Might want to consider the effort, it's a one time deal and your plants will be happier. Those LEC's are pretty intense under the SS reflectors.

Looks like my friend is giving me a 400 hps hood/ballast I might be converting to that, coming up in the next few days give me some more lumens in there
If you can handle the heat additional light never hurts. I've gotten some great results mixing spectrum from different light sources.
 
sorry they didnt upload ive been missing watering days lately because of work i haven't been home, i came home to this i watered them all. hoping that was the cause, i water them a half galloon or so before leaviing for a couple days
