Well red662 glad to see you think my grow is nice! ;) this is my 5th grow now and I seem to get better at it with hand on exsperience lol,but to give credit for the grow would have to be rewarded to alot of people in this very forum,I watch,listen and learn..........My grow space is a little bigger then a 4x4 space more closer to 4x5 ,I am using clones from my 4 main strains,right now there is 50 plants packed solid into the grow box all in 2 litre pepsi bottle started flowing when plants hit about 8 inch's,note:I did no cutting of the tops, all those tops you see in the pics are main cola's but as you can see some plants are taller thats because different strains are a little taller then others....I haven't figured out what the yeild will be at the end of the cycle and after curing,but I should do well,by the way this is my first time using HPS for flowering in the past I was a complete flourcent grower but have had success with flourecents from start to finish with my last 4 grows,but to behonest the yeild was not there,did o'k but found myself forced to updrade.I hope this time the weight should be there and by the looks of my plants only 3 weeks' in flowering I have already done better then my flourecent grows lol..hoping to pull a couple of pounds but would be happy with one pound lol...lets see what happens wish me luck. ;)
wat kinda nutes are you using? if any at all
No ferts right now my friend,soil is full of nutes,afraid of fert burn! besides just trying to keep the ph balanced is a job within itself,kinda afraid of the nutes you buy at walmart,pant food 15-30-15,miracle grow 15-30-15,don't live close to a hydro shop and can only get what walmart or canadian tire,or homehard ware has to offer.....no advance nutes in either location to my knowledge,maybe there is a product that is great for flowering in those stores I mentioned but am kinda shying away from the ferts I mentioned,is there a decent nute at either location that can be used on my plants with success??????? not not sure what to get at any of those stores any help???
You can use any of those ferts, except Miracle Grow. Stay away from that stuff at all costs, not suitable for growing MJ. I get my ferts from Canadian Tire. They sell some organics, but they sell the most common ferts. From vegging ferts, to flowering, blooming ferts. I got my veg fert there, 5-1-1 yesterday, I got Shultz 10-15-10 and 15-30-15. So get any brand, I would use 10-15-10 first, then 15-30-15. Just so the plants get use to the ferts.
But if you have ferts in the soil already, I would only reccomend giving them a couple of SMALL doses of 10-52-10. In the last 3 weeks of flowering or so. To plump them up really nice. Other than that, they look really nice, keep up the good work!
Good luck.

Why is Miracle Grow so bad? Please explain.
Thanks dude! I have a old can of ferts from a few yaers back,that the wife used on her tomatoe's it's called,plant prod? 15-30-15 bought at walmart it says for flowering!.should I stay away from using it or give the plants 1/4 strength of recommended dose!,or go with the 10-52-10?Quote:

mix it up in a big tub and wet it until it is like a paste (on the drier side)
...is this what you were asking for.later
Nice grow Mellow Man :D Are you just using the fans for circulation or have you got an extractor too & what strains are you growing?
They look good for 3 weeks & good luck with the result :D
I don't have a heat extractor or squirrel fan as of the moment,I only close the door's on the grow box when lights go out,but even then still have the top fan blowing,I have the big fan blowing through the canopy of leaves all day,and the little fan that hangs upside down is pointed directly at the 1000w bulb,to try and keep things a little cooler,but a heat extractor would be idea for me and is high on my got to get list lol..any suggestions? I was also thinking AC machine would help alot,I am also concerned about getting more fresh air into the grow box,I don't know if the the co2 levels in my house are good enough for faster and bigger growth,I believe I heard that co2 levels outside are around 400 to 500 ppm,but inside my house not sure? I was thinking i could run a intake vent for fresh air to my grow box,but if the co2 levels are the same inside my house as they are outside whats the point? not sure about any of the things I just mentioned that within itself would be a completly now learing exsperience for me,but always looking for ways to inprove my grow..........note:even with the fan blowing directly at the hps 1000w bulb it still can get pretty hot in there lol.Quote:

I can bet my whole crop that youl'l spin out and throw up your guts lol....1 hit on the bong look out,2 hits on the bong you can't see straight anymore lol,it should be banned lol....Quote:
