New to forums, 1st Grow in new spot. What do you think?

[irydyum]

Just wanted to post some pics of my current project in my new space. Currently running only one 400w HPS with Hortilux Eye bulb. Unknown strain, just from a random dank nug, wanted to get new spot dialed in before I run with my strains. Currently vegging some MK Ultra and Green Crack/Mango. Cant wait to flower em out, let me know what you think. All comments are welcome.

Pic 1&2, Just before 4th week
Pic 3, about 2 weeks
Pic 4, Flowering 2 weeks, small ones are MK and GC
Pic 5, Third week Close up

Looking very nice and healthy:thumbsup:

The only suggestion I have is: How close is the light to the plants? looks to be a little to far up for a 400 watt. Other than that it looks perfect.

Nice grow:thumbsup:

Bulb to canopy is about 16". Temp at canopy is 80F. Showing a little heat stress but ventilation is a problem in a rental, I can only do so many mods. Have to make due with what's feasable on this one. Thanks for the compliments tho, much appreciated.

They look nice...:thumbsup:

Are you gonna let the younger plants catch up to the older ones...before you flower?...only one light/one room?

....anyways...with Fall, maybe that will help with temps?...introduce fresh air as often as possible. 400 watt HPS/Hortilux...RULES...:smokin:

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

16'' inches is perfect for a 400 watt light:thumbsup: the camera must have made it look more than that.

Other than that your grow looks like a veteran's grow, not anywhere near a newbies grow. You obviously did your research and it paid off:thumbsup:

Dutch-
I have converted one of those cheap extra closet things from WalMart to be a veg spot. No intense light, im running a mix of cool and warm CFL's and their only mission is to keep the photoperiod right. I'm vegging the small strains for about 8 hours each day under the HPS and then returning them to the "closet" when it's lights out. I know it's high maintenance but I figured I should take max advantage of the HPS, and the Hortilux doesn't seem to be causing any stretching. I'll be cloning them in about a week to find a couple suitable mothers and then Im going to try a SOG with the strains. I have attached pics of my "closet" and if anyone wants to know how to build one it was hella cheap.

Thanks for all the enthusiasm, I'll try to keep this updated through harvest. Appreciate all the kindness going on right now. Keep it green.

Here's the latest pics at about 40 days flowering. Any comments are welcome.

Did you top that plant? Just asking cause that first looks like you did. Looks great by the way.

[SouthernGuerilla]

everything looks damn nice!

[irydyum]

Lit up- I did top this one, actually I did the FIM technique on it and it produced all those tops. I also lollipopped the plant during it's first week of flower. Also early harvested 2 branches that were underproducing in hopes of fattening up what was left on the plant. From my eyes everything looks to have worked according to the predictions. Couldn't be happier.

Southern- Thank you for the kind words, nothing will make people keep posting pics and shit like some compliments. More to come soon.
