socialistpete - it just makes sense, I can run a 250W HPS, which is basically the same watts as I was running on CFLs and I KNOW the harvest will be much better.

monkey - good to have you over here bro, things should get interesting real soon.

I'm going to throw up some pics of where we are right now. I am also in quite a debate right now as to what to do. I have all these plants that are just huge and are all about a month into veg. I wanted to keep them as mothers, but I am starting to think that they will get rootbound quickly and I will be fucked. They are all in 1 gallon buckets right now. So you say, "flower them stupid" well ... one week from today I am leaving for 8 days to go skiing in California, so I am really worried about leaving them at the beginning like that. I have a friend coming by, but it's still a risk.

I'm just not sure what to do. Do I keep ripping clones and getting those ready for when I get back? Or do I just start flowering these big bitches? Anyone know if I can keep mothers in 1 gallon hempys?

I should have definitely looked into this before. Timing just worked out funny. I will probably just keep ripping clones, let them veg while I am gone and then move on from there. It's safer, easier, smarter, blah blah i hate it.

Pics in a bit
