Here is 1/2 (right) of my crop as I was unable to capture the entire jungle on my cam. 6 plants total, 12/12 from seed, 250w hps with bat-wing horizontal reflector. They are about 24" tall (all the vertical space I have to work with) so I'm super cropping some of the taller branches. I have a 67w CFL I'm going to throw in there also. The girls are all Speed Haze (ssh x j.herer) along with a single MK Ultra deep in the middle of the jungle. The haze are 16 days in and the MK Ultra is more like 3 wks (she flowered first). Gave them their last dose of fish emulshion last week, and now I'm using "Orchid Bloom" I have laying around the house. It has worked pretty well in the past. 4 out of 5 Speed Haze girls have a citrus-candy smell that reminds me of some California Orange I ran a while back. About 60 days to go, and counting them down:weed:

Thanks Popcorn, I was hoping since I'm using the hps my girls wouldn't stretch so much. I'm positive it's the sativa genetics, and would definitely do better outdoors in full sunlight. They would be very hard to manage though, since I have height restrictions wherever I grow. The Speed Haze would do best in California, growing unchecked and reaching 12' tall or more. I got these seeds cheap, so I'm trying to run them under my HID, all huddled together and a bit crowded. We will see how it goes.

Well the sodium will make your plants stretch. What most growers do is use a full spectrum HPS and that will help limit the stretch. I myself use MH/HPS as well and I get nice short nodes with the MH but as soon as I flip to the HPS I gets the stretch. Keep up the good work.
 
Thanks bro, luckily after a little super-cropping it looks like things will be fine, and no more burned leaves. Will update in a month or so :weed:
 
Hehe, Thanks bro- just switched over to Orchid Bloom, (already had it laying around the house). It has worked ok in the past, so I'm pretty sure this won't be an exception. I feed heavily with fish emulsion until the plants are about 16-18 days into flowering. Then I switch to bloom, and I have some 10-60-10 (Super Bloom) for later on :-)

Everyone I know use's something different lol. I myself use Advanced Nutes Jungle Juice NPP G, M, and B, Big Bud, and Bud Candy And Jakes Fertilizer G,M and B I also use Botanicare Aquashield and Cal/Mag.
 
Holy Shit ! - that's a lot of nutrients. Been thinking of trying bat guano (especially for flowering).. I like to keep it organic as much as possible. Have some homemade compost that might be "ripe" and ready to use this season-
