400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

What's up guys? Rookie here but def. Plan non being a part of this thread in the near future.. I just got my home made cab built and put together, just waitin on my beans to pop. Aurora indica and wonder woman, DWC, 400w hps/mh. This is gonna be fun B-)

Current grow at day 28 of flowering using a 400w HPS the entire grow. I've been trying out different nutrients, which is why they look all beat up I just haven't dialed it in yet.

Just finished my first harvest. I guess that makes me an official member?

Anyway, some random pics of harvesting, drying, and getting ready for curing. Just over 9 ounces off of two plants (DinaFem Critical + (freebie seeds) = 4 ounces+, DinaFem White Siberian = 5 ounces +).

Grown in DWC buckets, 30 days of veg, 60 of flower. They were 30-34" tall at the end.

Just before chop:

Drying away:


Into the bags for 2 days before curing in jars.. Crit+

ULM awesome dude!! I'm looking to get a 400w HPS as well..soil? What nutes? I'm guessing you LST them?

2 5gal DWC buckets using Lucas formula. I didn't train them at all. Just let them grow naturally. I didn't expect them to get so big!

So my first grow and harvest is complete. The buds are curing. Came in at 6.5 ounces of primo buds not counting popcorn and smaller stuff I'm smoking. Just under .5g per watt. Not bad for 2 plants in 90 days I guess!

2nd grow, organic amended soil, topdress feed when needed, 2.4 gal airpots, start from seed in 1lt airpot. Strains are jack33(top left), vanilla kush(top right), mr N black widow(bottom right), BB blue cheese(bott. left). parentheses are for the first pic.

Hey everyone whats up wanted to ask you guys what you thought about my plants theyre 4 weeks tomorrow, from seed, all organic for now no nutrients.






Before LST ill post after lst later..all have 6+ internodes , are these good size for age? Running 400w hps thanks

transplant they should be a bit larger for 4 weeks. but they look extremely healthy.

Shade soil?

400W with a 300W and 50W induction supplemental lighting.

Thanks irieie yea I thought they should be a bit bigger to but I haven't feed then any nutes yet,kinda all organic for now at lest ... But,yea,im quitting to go pick up some new soil and drop them in there 5gal resting pots..

There we go, read my mind, keep em coming...Man those plants on the left cab are looking healthy, i like how close you have that light without a cooltube, sick, you must live in a cold area? Or is that oscilating fan thats doing the trick?

That light doesnt look close at all, especially for a 400. I've only used as small as 600s, but even with thier much greater penetration, I'd never space my lights that far off the canopy. The best buds I ever see are with air cooled hoods, and a canopy less than a foot from the bulbs (not the reflector).

You should aircool your light, and put a couple blocks under a couple of those plants to give you a nice even canopy VERY CLOSE to the light. If you get a canopy under a foot, and maintain 74-76.5 degrees it's going to not just double your yields over the above, it's going to make your tops incredibly more desirable. Look up the Law of an Inverted Scale on here somewhere on the se forums, and see how it relates to HID bulbs. You gotta get closer, and you really need to focus on a canopy in limited space like that.

Overall though it looks like a nice little set-up!

That first pic is one of the best "little light" set ups I've seen in a while. Very Pro looking. How's your temps?

My temps are actually doing pretty good. I have a regular squirrel cage fan running at about half speed and im sitting at about 75f.

Just got my 400w from htg on Wednesday, great customer service on that website I must say..
Anyways I had my girl vegging under some dIY cfl hood with 2 6500k 120w and 2 2700k 120w for roughly 5 weeks, it extended because I was planning on getting the hps sooner but money and shit put it on hold for a week or 2 XD.
Anyways I've been in flowering now for 3 weeks, nearing the end of the 3rd
The first 2 weeks it was flowering under the cfl's and since I received the light it is now under my hps!
This is my first grow and used mixed bites during veg until I got my hands on some FF nutes just for this grow

Next grow I plan on it being in a tent with some of subcools super soil

Oh yeah the hood is a easycool6 with a 160 cfm inline cooling the hood and venting the heat outside

Edit: Will post pics when I can! My phones not letting me right now -.-

If your talking to me, that's my first grow, and it's been done for a month and a half.

My 1x1x2m, 400w system in my bedroom.
This is my first attempt and will expand my production with experience.
