I'm flowering 6 strains of marijuana: 2 x Delicious Seeds Jack Herer, 1 x Delicious Seeds Critical Sensi Star (Amazing), 1 x DP Lemon Skunk, 1 x DNA Lemon Skunk, 2 x Sour Cream, 1 x GHS Super Lemon Haze and 1 Royal Haze for a total of 9 female plants.

I used Soil as medium and I'm feeding with General Hidroponics Nutes using Lucas + Additives. ml/gallon as flolow:
Vegetation:
5 Micro
10 Bloom
2.5 CalMag
1.5 Thrive Alive

Flower:
8 Micro
16 Bloom
5 CalMag
1.5 Thrive Alive
1/4 Tps Kool Bloom (Starting at 4th Week)

I Vegged for 1.5 months under CFL's and switched lights December 25th. Flowering bulb from week 1 to 2 was a 1k HPS Sunmaster but it just burned without notice and I had to switch to an old Agro Max 400W, until day 27 when my new Hortilux arrived from abroad. Yield still looks promising. This pictures were took exactly at day 30.

One of the pics is really cool, the leaves form like a round palace in the background. Opinions wanted. Thanks

Looking good! Can definitely tell you used CFL's by all the stretching, but you should still get a decent yield now that you have a proper light :)

when I switched they were very lush and compact except for the jack Herer which always grew out of control. I'm thinking the dramatic stretch was due the 400W HPS period from week 2 to 4. Although I got good pre flowers with the sunmaster, the inter nodal space is messed up in almost all of my plants. When I started I was aiming for 1.5Kg of cured product, now I'm praying I can reach at least 2 pounds. I'll post some pics at day 45 (Saturday)

Good chance you'll salvage this grow now that your back on track with a new 1000w bulb. But IMHO based on your pics and the time remaining in flower I don't see you getting 2lbs (cured) from this grow. This is the reason you always keep extra equipment on hand whether it be bulbs, reservior pumps, backup ballasts. ect,ect. Just a week ago I had a 400w MH go out in my mother room and 2 days later I had a 600w HPS bulb "AND" a 600w digital ballast go out in my flower room. But I had back ups for everything and no time was lost ordering anything, I just stayed on track. But good luck fellow grower.

Here are my girls at day 39 in flower (no veg time at all)

wow.. only 1 pound? each plant would have to yield 50 grams... comparing my pictures with yours I'm afraid you could be right... Even though all my plants are topped and have multiple colas for being over vegged. I'll take more pictures today @ day 40 so you confirm or restate your estimate outcome . Thanks for your inputs btw

Which one is the sensi? I see you said at the top of the post that this was an amazing plant. I'm growing some now, and mine look nothing like any of yours. Mine look more like squatty shrubs that your would put in the front of your house. What is it that makes it amazing in your opinion?

It has an intense smell of grapefruit ice cream making her the most pungent of all, the nuggets are tight and look more frosty than the rest but I guess its shorter flowering time has to do something with it. The branching structure is compact and the leaves look really elegant wearing dark green. It's also a very good yielder taking in account I screwed up this grow. This is the second time I grow Sensi Star and the first time I managed to pull out around 120 grams out that plant using a 400W, this one is showing the same treats, although the yield wont be as good.

Awe man! I'm gettin all giggly with excitement. That is awesome news. I'm on my maiden voyage, and sounds like I'm startin with a winner. My spacing is alot tighter. Sucks about your lighting woes. I have zero backup for anything right now. Everything is brand new, so I keep my fingers crossed. Here's a shot of my sensi taken the other day. 38 days. Just started flower a couple days ago. I had some issues of my own. 3 to start with. One died, one lagged way behind, and one did pretty damn good. I would be happy with 5oz per!
