alot of little ones = quicker harverst
If you have a veg cab as well as flower, then this will not make your plants flower faster.

And you will not want a space any bigger than 3'x3' for your 400watt light. Anything larger and you will end up with loose, airy buds. I used to have mine in a 2'x2' area and would pull 6-8oz off 5 plants.

People are always asking the question, "so on average how much weight do you think I can get per plant?" Obviously no one ever has a real answer so let's hear it from the 400w club. How much has everyone gotten in previous grows? Also, if possible, list what strain and what grow method.

first grow:
MasterKush
used 400w hps about one month into flowering. i was broke and couldnt buy one haha.
harvested about an ounce
used GH 3 part floragro
i think i harvested it a little too early too, i was too anxious

second grow:
Green Crack
aero garden for veg
waterfarm for flower w/ 400watt
GH 3 part floragro and kool bloom
im about to harvest in 13 days, looks like i will get very close to 2oz but we'll see.

So right now I'm using a 400 watt MH and I'm pretty sure it's causing my buds to be pretty airy. Anyways besides the point, my real question here is what area should I portion out for each plant. I want to run a SOG so I'm thinking flower at about 8"-12". Also I originally had planned to do a 3' by 3' box but it sounds like that's on the upper end. Would I optimize my efforts by decreasing the size of the box and running less plants through it. Maybe a 2.5' by 2.5' with about 6 plants. Any help from you 400 experts would be awesome thanks guys!

i dunno bout a sea of green in a space like that...might be better to grow and train a monster to fill the whole footprint, less maintanance. on a whole other note ANYONE RUNNIN A LUMATEK??? i just threw in a brand new venture metal halide in my lumatek and the bastard blew out on me already...the hps is still runnin like a champ, ANY ADVICE?

Well, after 61 days flowering I harvested 5 oz. Trainwreck yielded 3.5 oz, and Crimea Blue came in at 1.5oz.
400w Sunmaster MH-HPS conversion bulb. Waterfarm closet grow. My first hydro. :mrgreen:

Caddy is my new daddy! Holy shit man, that's impressive. You can barely see the buds through the crystals on that Train Wreck. Grow on, grower. You da' boss.

I used GH Flora series only, this next go around I am adding liquid Koolbloom.
Very glad to hear that and goes to show that GH used properly is just as good if not better than all the hyped up and priced up brands out there.

Would you mind sharing your formulation throughout the grow cycle?

All you help is much appreciated.

if moeny isnt an issue, caddy. i would do liquid koolbloom first then after about two weeks would shift to the dry koolbloom. I have seen both liquid all the way through and dry all the way threw in the same strain and surprisingly the switch made a difference in oil production


Not that there could be much more on that Wreck ;) Good Job!

very nice caddy!!! that trainwreck is amazing!! yeah kool bloom will boost your production for sure. i'll post picks soon of my harvest (11/11/2008)

quick question, what did you use to flush your plants? just reg water or some type of formula? and how long?

I went from the 'aggressive bloom' dose, to 'ripen' for 1 week, then plain water for the remaining 9 days. If I could do it all over I would have not done the ripen, just plain water for the last 2 weeks.
