Sounds like we have similar setups.

I personally have good consistent success vegging plants quite large before moving them to flower. 3-4' for a couple of strains I have is common for me. I do a bunch of pruning/topping in the process to remove foliage at the bottom and increase the number of branches at the top. One strain stretches to 6' + in flower..

Also use Advanced, 2 x 1K hps, 2 x 8 tube T-5 in flower, all mounted fairly high giving me 82" from the floor to the bottom of the lights. Maintain temps in the mid to upper 70s with the lights on... the results are unbelievable.. giving me 16-20 oz a month from 4 plants (I have room for 8 and harvest monthly) the buds are really tight and dense as well, which I attribute to Advanced stack, especially Connissieur (sp?). My biggest problem is having to use bamboo sticks to tie up my stuff that tends to fall over from the weight of the buds..

What are you doing with your nutes? I run about 2ml per liter on base and 1 ml per liter on additives. For example, 40 liter (approx 10 gal), I'll use 80 ml of both A and B, 40 of Sensizyme, 40 of Big Bud and 40 of Bud Candy.. I vary the strength through the cycle, but the ratio of base nutes to additives always is the same... I also flush every week as well.

Farmer Rich Reviewed by Farmer Rich on . buds I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am new to growing and I am sure you guys will know where I am making my mistake. My buds are fluffy-spongy. My grow room is a spare bedroom, I am using advance nutraints, I am using two 1000w lights, I am venting and adding new air to the room in the amount required. Using 750 plus cfm. I have rotating fans in the room to move the air around. My plants are healthy and happy... most stocks around the width of your thumb. no bugs etc. Do a proper Rating: 5
