hello everybody this is my first grow and was wondering if you guys can give me some suggestions and or comments. my plants are between 3 1/2" to 8" tall. they are 4 weeks from germ and are currently under 400w mh .started in the areogarden and 4x t12s. now they are in a homemade bubbleponic system with drippers and a bubbler. my closet is 6' x 3' x 8' high(temporary will be moving set up to garage after this grow). ph is @ 6. ppm @ 1300. temp. ranges between 70 to 85. humidity 29 to 40. they are in 6 in net pots and seem to be doing ok but they seem to be a little short compared to other posters plants at the same age. here are some pics.

so far they look really good and healthy...keep us updated!
sorry potroast i'll try to put up 60 next time...j/k.lol guess i'm a little excited about this awesome new hob and went crazy with the new camera. anyway i had a question for you good folks. i'm thinking of taking four clones of each of my plants as soon as they reach the desired height. and then flowering the five original plants and destroying any males and the clones i cut from them. would this be ok? or is there something i should do different. and thanks nighttrain i will definitely post more pics as they grow.

Alien,
Thats exactly what I did. I'm on my first grow as well and about a week and a half ago, I took three clones off each of my four plants that were about a month old at the time. I have since started flowering and found out that one is a male so I will be getting rid of him and his clones.
Judging by the pics, I would wait another week or two though to let the smaller plants grow a little more to the size of your big one or maybe a little bigger. Mine were about 12 inches tall when I cut from them and they have done just fine.

thank you everyone for checking out my pics . here are some updates and new pics my tallest plant is 14 1/2" and shortest is 10 1/2". they grew so much in just 5 days!!! i think my home made reflectors helped alot. i made them with mylar, a. foil, and cardboard. gonna clone them in 2 days and then start flowering. if anyone one has any tips about cloning please post. thank you.

keep your temp to a max of 80... your plants have rough ridges...raise light... lower your temps
do you suggest the bubbler? i have all the equipment to make at lest 3 bubblers or ne other kind of system. have u ever had any problems with the matenence? how often do you change the water?
i currently have my plants in a makeshift bubbler with 3 air pumps (2800cc) and 6 bubble rocks. i have a water pump should i add it and spread water out that way as well? or not? im kinda frustrated cause my seedlings have been in the bubbler for like 4 days and they havent made really any gains.
im wondering if im doing anything wrong. obiously. ill put up some pics mayb u can help me out... thanks
