I'm not going to argue your method, but I will argue that you are telling someone else not to flower for more than 6 weeks. If you have never flowered past 6 weeks yourself, you don't know what you are missing. I would also advise that you not suggest it to someone who is just starting. You may not care about the quality of your meds, but some out here depend on quality for ease of life. Do you have any evidence that your buds are better at 6 weeks than 8 or 9?

Stick with your original plan of 8 weeks plus (indoor generally takes a week or so longer than breeders claim). Don't cut yourself short on time, or you will lose flavor,smell, yield, and THC most importantly. Invest in a magnifier so you can look at trichromes and determine ripeness for yourself. Plenty of "when to harvest" info on the site.

I run 2 400s right now, but I have been using them for the past 3 years. Feel free to check out the log in my signature or any of my others if you want to see a grow from start to finish using 400s. I have also been using BioBizz for the last couple years, and love it:thumbsup:

Regardless of the number of root systems, ( I have grown 5 up to 15 under a single 400) every grow in a 4'x4' tent with a 400hps has given me between 6 and 8 ounces. Hope this helps some, and best of luck on your grow.
