I have about 13 nigerian sativa plants growing right now under 3 300w equiv cfls in a an closed off area closed off by mylar sheets. im using metromix 360 soil with MG general ferts with a constant temp of 75 and humidity of 40% under a 24/0 cycle.

im planning on a getting a 4x4x6.5 tent with a 400w hps and carbon filter by flowering but for now ill keep you updated on whats going on. if you could give me any advise that would be greatly appreciated :mrgreen:

i lost my patience and figured no one wanted to see every few days of growth up to this point, so i will show you where im at as of today. i ran out of two liters. im only using them till i sex them. im planning on flowering till i can sex then topping then going back to veg until im ready for flower.

today i went to the room to transplant some plants and jeez i could already see improvement in the ones that i transplanted yesterday. tomorrow im switching to 12/12 to begin the sexing then topping process. check these girls (hopefully). btw are the 3 300w equiv cfls good enough until i get my 400 w hps? Tell me what you guys think so far!!!

looks pritty cool. if my research is correct droopy leafs mean a slight lack of water.
dunno if its just me but on soem of pictures you have slightly drooping leafs..

thoughs are some big plants for under a month using Cfls but then again 3, 300 watts lol its lookin great to me, i would say top before you switch into 12/12 so it has time to recover and veg before it has to start producing the hormons for the bud or ball sacks lol other then that nice ! rep +

looks very good however, uncharacteristic of a sativa...it looks like straight indica, my friend, you have what is a hybrid or an indica

hopefully they are happy in their new home, the latest pics looks like they could use a transplant and you also fed them a tad too much.

anyway man it really does look great dont sweat it its going to turn out pretty good.

i also grow in a 4x4x6.6 under a 400hp light i use 4in pots for the whole grow. what i like about the tent i have is that it has a spill tray and i just att the water and food to the tray the thought that you need big pots is not what i have found using these small pots allows me to see what is happening under my plants also you do need to water them every 3 days bc they dry out quickly. also using smaller pots cuts down on soil mites and fungi. the pics are of my current grow. good luck and lookin good.

well the pictures you saw were of the day i transplanted, now they are a lot less droopy and seem alot more healthy, im going to top today, im very nervous to do it haha. does it look like a hybrid? and how do you figure im feeding them too much, because right now im using the MG (i know) 24-8-16 ferts at about half of the recommended dosage.

k so i topped my plants today (to the fourth node) and put them back on veg, (luckily they had only been on 12/12 for a day so i doubt any harm was done) one of my plants had a yellowish brownish tip. there are also a few plants with the biggest hulking stems ive ever seen hahaha. any input? :mrgreen:

yeah cause the plant will try and repair the leafs but if there to far damaged im 99% positive it would be better to trim them off , wouldnt worsen the condition at all if you did, and if it was a disiese your deffinatly better trimming them off
