Next is there anyway you can create a room or cab for this grow-to maximize the efficiency of your light? (not necessarily a big issue with 1000w you'll still be impressed).
Keep up the good work,

Specs:rastasmoke:
I always keep my PH around 5.7-6.0 cannabis loves slightly acidic soils, chech the soil ph by placing some soil and your irrigation water in a small cup and letting it leach for 24 hours and then test it and adjust accordingly. I prefer a NFT bench myself(nutrient film) but soil is always good. Keep the light as close as possible without burning you lose lumens for every 1'' of distance. 3000-6000 lumens per plant is very effective. Are you ready to start the flower phase yet ?
Additionally your plants may be yellowing from the ph being off and tying up certain nutrients, particularly zinc , magnesium and manganese. Did you try a foliar feed at 200-300 PPm 6.0 ph ?
Specs- Actually im about to move this light into a closet that is 6ftx3.5ft so that will probably help with the efficiency. Also i have had 2 fans on the for the entire time to help with heat since i cant afford a fan for my light. So i think my stalks might be pretty nice but im not sure. I will post pics of them soon for sure. THANKS for the advice.
Imed- not exactly sure what your talking about. this is my first grow, so some things i get confused when talking about. i would say my soil was slightly alk. at first but now has gone to about an average of 6.4. also i dont really know much about foliar feeding. how should i go about that?
this photo is about 6 days old. batteries died on the camera. will have recent pics up tomorrow for sure. stems and all included. also i cant seem to get the camera to focus so you can see the white hairs hmmm maybe i need a better camera
OK so heres some pictures. STILL not with a better camera though. oh well. Below are photos of all three plants. both leaves and stem. Also below is a photo of the newly constructed clone room.
Details:
Abbey 48 days old...female pre-flowers
Hannah 48 days old female pre-flowers
both show some slight burn and/or yellowing of some sort and hannah is pretty stunted i believe.
the third plant has yet to show any sexing so of course has no name and is about 4 inches tall. and 35 days old (haha) didnt grow at all for 2.5 weeks but has recently sped up.
The new flowering closet is 4ft by6ft and 9feet tall.
The new cloning closet is ft wide and 3 feet deep with about 5 feet of free space above the light.
The lights in the cloning room are as follows:
2 48in fluorescent day light 40watt tubes. each producing 3050 lumens and has a 6500k color temp
2 26 watt daylight CFL's. each producing 1600 lumens and a color temp of 6500K
1 26 watt soft white CFL. it produces 1600 lumens and has a color temp of 3000k.
everyone let me know what you think......as stated this is my first grow and it's been a blast so far haha

waiting on the world to change.......
more pictures.....
DAY 51........ I cut 5 clones from Abbey on monday and placed the in rockwool cubes in a propagation tray w/ dome. I am misting the dome a little 2x a day ad proping the lid for air circulation occasionally.
I plan on taking 5 more cuttlings from hannah in a few more days, when se gts some branches that are optimal for cloning. The 5 clones seem slightly droopy, but i am keeping a close watch right now.
As for Abbey i cut the bottom off of her original pot, and place it inside another full 2 gallon pot. i didnt want to do a full transplant on this plant because i still may have to take a couple clones again, and i didnt want to create a mess. i plan on doing the same to Hannah in a week.
hopefully my clones make it, i think i may start flowering in 10-14days
UPDATE.... i now have 5 seedlings and 2 clones in the cloning rooms the tallest is about 7 inches and the shortest are about 4inches.
Of my two older plants one looks pretty good and the other needs a flush. They went into flowering last night and will start flowering nuts. wed. ish. the tallest is 18in tall and the shorter wider plant is 16 inches tall. things are going well, but there have been some hiccups. any ways anymore information need just ask, i have lots of time and dont post as much because most of my problems are related to ph and my meter blows! next time im getting a nice tds/ph/ppm meter. pics tonight when the lights come on......i hate having to wait 12 hours to see them, but the cflowering closet is basicly 100% pitch black and i dont want to disturb that at all!
sorry about the delay but the website was down last night.
