4th closet grow - aroma/rocklock 400w-hps full spectrum bulb

These were started June 6th....with flowering being initiated July 30th. Using FF big bloom and tiger bloom, alternating bloom boosters between jack's classic 10-30-20...grotek monster bloom 0-50-30.....and green light super bloom 12-55-6. When using the jack's classic I add some bloombastic to keep the p/k numbers high. For carbs i'm using botanicare sweet berry and some unsulphured robust molasses on an alternating schedule. So far things look real good....flowers and leaves show no signs of nutrient burn...also using C02, a 10lb tank with a regulator attached and a monitor to confirm ppm in the grow room...average being about 1200-1500 with the tank going. Basically looking for any advice from people on here as to changes i should make if any.....and if so, when should those changes be made??? Props to uncle ben by the way....thanks to some of his info my last couple of grows exceeded my expectations. All advice is greatly appreciated....pictures will follow

Here go the pictures. The first is the aroma, a little bit ahead of the second...which is the rocklock...the third is the two of them together....then the pots to give some idea as to size, plus make it known that hydroton and soil play well together...

How big is your grow room? I am using FF soil and ferts and I am 43 days into flower and I don't want to be rude but yours don't look like they are that far along. I was thinking about using CO2 but now I am rethinking it. You can check out my first grow in my signature that I am currently on. Are those bag seed or somthing??? I am just supprised how small they are.

The pictures only show so much....the one showing obvious flowering is just part of the top of the plant....and the other had a longer "stretch" than expected so it's a little behind the other, as I said before. I've actually stopped using the C02, and you're further into flowering than I am....furthermore what strength light do you use?? I've seen pictures of grows with 200 more watts that look at least three weeks ahead of mine with the same number of days spent in flowering and no C02 enrichment....

Didn't want to be rude at all just asking. If you started flowering at July 30th like said you are 45 days into flowering, I am only 43. I am using a 600w light so maybe that is the difference. I was just making a comment bro not trying to be rude or a know it all! I am still a noob so sorry if you thought I was shitting on you. But you did say " All advice is greatly appreciated" and I do think that your plants look a little thin and lacking in bud compaired to mine. What size pots are they in? What are you using to water them with? Are you using tap water, my buddy uses that shit and his plants are the same. Just wondering bro, no disrespect at all!

No offense taken....it's the light strength that makes all the difference. Things move faster the stronger the light is.....preflowering is shorter and bud output is greater.....which is i'm sure what explains the difference. What other nutrients do you use besides the FF stuff...??

I grow in FFOF and I used the trio of FF ferts big bloom, grow big, and tiger bloom when directed by the FF feeding schedule. I also got beastie blooms and cha-ching for finishing the plants. To tell you the truth I fucking love FF products and I will stick with them for a while. GL on your grow bro! Lets all grow big and be happy!
