I have 5 auto plants growing. One is doing immaculate (i hope) and they decend in growth from there. I know i messed up a lot as this is my first grow. If anyone has any suggestions to help these plants out i would appreciate it. The one that looks nice, is that what the flower is suppose to do? They are in the third week of flowering

Ok, need a little more info. My biggest concern is your light source. What are you using for light. Your girls are reachy as hell! Not baggin on you, they look ok just really stretched. What strain(s) are they?

I am running LED, which I just realized going back on it is only 200w. I have an hps light but couldn't figure out how to get the heat down. I'm not taking it as you bagging on me, I know I need the help lol

Oooooohhhhh! You can probably still boost your yield with some LST. It would have been better to train them before flowering or just after but you can still bend them to the side to increase air flow and light penetration.

For 5 Plants, to get a decent flower cycle, you're going to need more light. How big is your grow area? You said you have an hps, got a pic? How big is it? Wattage, brand?

Ok the led you have probably isn't that good. What brand/ where'd ya get it?

you can buy a cheap cool tube light shade that will hold back some of the direct heat to the plant tops, but as for genral heat build up , im just useing a 250watt mh and my 1 x 1 x 1.8 is at its right temp or slightly above with no vents open.

Just to give you an idea on lighting, and mine is, by far, not the best. I've got 2 Mars Hydro ts600s and an Amazon "1000w" cheapie that combined pull a combined 340w, from the wall, in a 3x4x6 and they do ok. I know I can do better, it's just not in the budget yet.
Edit: I'm American, that 3 feet x 4feet x 6feet.

can you not save up 30 dollers for an extraction fan? i have an inline extraction fan im going to strap up in one of the vent holes to get rid of excess heat when i change to the 400 and 600

He's just trolling you. Anti-Auto whatever. When I have an auto that looks like this, he can sit on his purist ideals and miss out. I grow both autos and photos. I get the best of both worlds
