1. are you still vegging?...you can do some trimming.

2. how far from; whatever kind of light you have, from floor to light source?

3. most strains won't go over 5 feet; except with weak lighting

no i just started the flowering process a few days ago....right after i read the whole doubleing sometimes trippling in size post........im a little spooked to trim cuz i dont wanna over do it or anything its a 1000W light using HPS thats about 5.5 fet or so im not exactly sure here are some pics of them right now... im a little suprised that they dont stink as much as i thought they would....maybe that will change when i start getting the buds goin Attachment 296258Attachment 296259Attachment 296260Attachment 296261

I wish I had a place like yours how big is your room/tent ?

I have pretty much the same set up as you (6 1/2' cube tent w/ a 1000 watt hps & 2'x3' a/c reflector).One of my 2 plants well over 2' + the height of the bucket when I started flowering 23 days ago,almost 2 weeks later than the grower I bought them from said he would start them.It quikly shot up the foot or so to the hot glass of the reflector then I just turned the pot where it could grow past it.I did very little trimming but the grower had "bent" ? one of them where it grew a little sideways...instead of growing up its growing out more,with a little trimming I think it would have been about perfect.The two of em take up almost half the floor space of the tent,as far as doubling & tripling in size i'd say mine are close to triple what they where 3 weeks ago.And yes,they will start stinkin up the place in a few weeks.Ive got a pile of plants in veg (allowed 16 plants legally but only 4 in flower) and will start trying several different trimming styles within the next week.Can anyone recommend the names of a few of the most popular styles of trimming indoor plants to start with?...working on getting a digital camera soon to upload some pics.

my growing tent is 4 feet in depth and about 9 feet long with a height of 6.5 feet, im looking to add another tent to go beside it to double my plants and yeild i cant wait until i start seeing buds ill add more pics in another few days....or maybe once the buds start to pop out, i need a better camera

If this is your first indoor grow you might want to get a mite preventitive like neem.I got mites early in flower phase and just had a bout w/powdery mildew...I read that the neem helps prevent that also.Luckily I caught both early and easily took care of both problems (Azamax for mites,3:1 water milk mix w/a drop of dishsoap in a spray bottle).I read in another forum yesterday that if you let your humidity get over 80% powdery mildew is almost a certainty and sure enough about 5 days before I found it I had plugged a humidifier into the wrong timer and it kicked on in the middle of the nite and I did'nt catch it till it was almost 90%. Anyway,it pays to keep a sharp eye on your leaves,especially the lower ones.
