per plant? cuz atm i have 3 ( maybe 4 if the one i planted a couple of days ago sprouts) under a 400 watt hps, and after that i wanna have 6 fems under a 600w hps, im a newb so how much do you reckon that would get? also i was wonderin if maybe it would be better doin 4 feminised under a 600w than 6 under a 600w, cuz at first i seen it as more plants more bud, but now i understand that it might be better growing 4 big plants than 6 alright sized plants
i dont know you would have to ask someone with more expierience but i would say 6 plants under 600w would be better. i got 2.5 oz for all 3 plants idk how much per plant because i didnt weigh it all per plant and its gone now haha. good luck.

Yeah, 3 oz per plant would be no prob outdoors or if you veg for a really long time. From what I have read 1.5 per plant is good. Unless you gonna go SCROG , then maybe you could go 2-3. If I get 8oz of these 6 on my first grow I would be thrilled............. AND VERY VERY HIGH!:clap:

i dont think you will get 8 oz for your first grow.
i was hoping for 3 oz for my 3 plants and didnt :p

Did you scrog and look at my pix I have 6 plants.
Yeah I know it a lot but I have put a lot into it my set up is 400 hps/mh. In a 36x20 grow tent. With scrog. So if they are mostly female I think I have a chance at 2 ounces per plant.Copy of Scroggy Bloom 011.jpg

if you can do it take some clones from your females now, get a little veg box going and next round you wont have this issue. pick your most vigourous female,

Nice plants.I will start 6 clones from my favorite 2... they are beautiful. Hopefully this works like life and the third time will be on the money. No more MG soil , I feel a lack of control not being able to fertilze.

I like a 50/50 pro-mix/FFoF soil. ha just enough nutes to get you about 3 weeks into veg then you can start fertilizing. i also ammend with other organic fertilizers/perilite and worm castings. epsoma garden tone is a decent balance organic fert for the whole life of the plant, its a 3-3-4 N-P-K but its not water soluble so i like to ammend my soil then water in a tea and let it sit for a few weeks before planting.

Plants are looking pretty good! I have a big whole in my scrog screen due to tossing the 2 males.

Currently trying to clone the best girl in an opaque tupperware cake pan. It's not working out to good they started to brown. I think even though its not clear they were getting to much light. I have taken them out of the 250 watt M/H light and put them on a heating pad after trimming off some excess leaves. Wish me luck , I need one of them to survive to be a mother!!!!!

Anyone have any experience rescuing clones? BTW I started the clones 5 days ago as of 5/7.

Oh yeah the seedlings are of some BC mango I am starting.

Well, I have learned a lot so far. I have one surviving clone from this grow...need to work on cloning lol. Also, I would not use soil with fertilizer already mixed in , it gives you no control over nutes and everytime you try to adjust your babies burn. The buds are looking ok...I will do a better job with the next batch.
