Flower help plz

Ive managed to get females to the flowering point of their life cycle and Im guessing im going to have an issue maybe I can get help on.

I have a 4'x4' area and a 1000 w HPS. I hit alittle wall, I started a bunch of seeds so I was gaurenteed to fill my space with females, but I now realize not only do I have too many, but they're already 3' tall one week in and its a 6' room.

?#1: Can I take some of these out and put them back on 24 hour veg light without stressing it to hemaphrodite when I reflower?

?#2: Is there a way to make them stop growing vertically without slowing down flower production?

I topped them about 2 weeks ago and I didn't know if doing it again would overload the flower sights with new growth rather than buds.

if theyre in flower, dont top them. this will hurt things more than help. look up bending or lst techniques

1000 W hps in a 4' x 4' room! That's a lot of light - you must generate a lot of heat too!

Pinch the buds at the top or tie it over.

im doing the same pugh itsa bitch to cool!

Rooms 8X5 Im using 4X4 for plants because they don't reccomend over 5X5 with the hood I have. It'll cover the whole room but not efficiently enough to grow a whole room.

I reccomend a sealed hood with the glass cover and 6" holes to cool it. Then get some 15$ flexable ducting from home depot it comes in a box thats no bigger than a big gulp from 7-11 and theres like 25 ft. in it, and get an exhaust fan that the ducting can be clamped to. Or "can fan" if you wanna pay for a name brand. This is all stuff at Home Depot or Lowes. The fan I have moves 434 cubic feet per minute. Some people run duct to the outside of the room and use that air. I leave one end open on the hood to help cycle air through the room, and take up less space. Just put a nylon over it to keep dust off the inside of the glass and bulb.

At first I was cheap and didn't have a cooled hood and my temp shot up to 90 deg. with a reg box (56CFM on high) fan. after about 3 hours of that I put CFLs on them for awhile and took the bat wing hood back lol.

The fan I have actually decompressed the room at first and ripped the mylar off the walls at some points and almost broke the door.(Its completely sealed) So what I did was I got a few of those things you put on the outside of your house to direct clothes dryer exhaust towards the ground and I installed them on the door so air can be replenished. Also put stockings on these and if you have a strong fan you will need more than one. I THINK 2 amps is the power consumption for the fan I have.


Im not bragging by any means there ARE better ways to do this, I only posted this in detail because I learned the hard way and before it was all said and done, the cheap route didn't work, and I had to spend even MORE money and do it twice to get it right anyways.

Moral: DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME CHEAP ASS!
