Did I start my 12/12 to early?

Your plants look ok, however, I think they are not getting enough light. If you have the means, definitely get a 400w. With the fans and setup you have, temps should not be an issue. Move your current light closer and keep with your current schedule. I don't think you are going to satisfied with your yield. Next time, try starting them on an 18/6 or 24 hour light schedule, keeping your light as close as you can without harming them. Good luck.

Say free venice theres already a couple of them that have shown sex, so far no males that I can see but maybe 3 to 5 females. Oh yeah, not enough light? They seem to be doing all right and some have stretched like mmadd while others stayed bushier than shit. Huhh and thanks for yalls replies

im intrested to see what they will yield.. i think you should definitly upgrade to the 400 w.. ill be watching this one

Usually the males show first so maybe your in luck. But the males also grow a little faster, so be careful.

Hows it growin? These are the most up to date I got. Just took em an hour ago. Heard a little talk about puttin a 400 in there so figured why the hell not. Bought air cooled 400 watter w/ 150 cfm fan and hortilux bulb from a local. Payed 200 bucks for all the shit and seems to work fine. Hope its worth the bucks!!! Cooling the 400 watter is easier than coolin that hugulug 250 that i's used to run. Plants have been under the new light for like 4 days now. Showing flower in 13 outta 15 so far so i'm pretty dam happy. Gave em a dose of pure blend last night and i think i'm gonna get some flower nuts for the little ones. Thinking of usin pure blend soil. Heard it's not 100% organic but what do ya do. Flowers are startin to form, still really small but lookin pretty good. Got a better fan for circulation in there now. It's much quiter even though its like a 16in stand fan. Cool though anybody got any comments, wanna here yalls opinions. Respec

Oh yah and I took out my wannabe veg space in the closet and just figured i'd dedicate it to the flower

Gave the females a full dose of botanicare cal mag+ and pure blend bloom. Think the two not showing sex are females. If so I'll have 15 females. The plants are still pretty small but just curious how 15 plants are gonna do under 1 400 watter. Still seem to be puttin on a little veg growth and starting to show lot o bud growth. Buds are still very small but just hoping they will start filling in. The buds are just comin from nodes and tops. Figured I'd try the nuts just to see how the
plants respond to it. That shits expensive but fuck it, hoping itll be worth it. Want to just finish out this grow and find a new place to do it thats better than an apt. Little concerned
about smell but maybe I can figure it out. Anybody use Botanicares shit or the cal mag. Experience with ocean forest? Experience with 400's? I'll try to get more picks in say a week or so. Probably sooner cuss I's a little excited.

flowering 15 plants is alot for a 400 curious as to how big the closet or space is as they dont seem that crowded, suspect you are probably well below the recomended 50 watts per sq ft.
and your light looks like it could be alot closer but pictures can be deceiving would probably lower it as much as you can an air cooled 400 can usually be set about 6 inches above the tops but do the hand test you may not be able to get it that close would expect somewhere between 6-10 inches, this is important during flowering as lights lose half their intensiity for every foot the light has to travel to the plants and ive noticed atleast one other person point this out to you already in this thread.

Plants seem to be doing fine. Seems as if 15 plants under a 400 watter is a bit excessive though. Thinking about hexxing three or four but it's hard to tell which ones suck the baddest.
Nonetheless they are starting to swing into full flower even though they do not all seem to be at the same stage. The tallest plants have grown within inches of the 400 without ill effects as best I can tell. I'm tryin to keep the light as close as I can to keep em good and short but some wanna still stretch. I wanna take those plants outta there cuss I think they are gonna suffocate themselves a little much if its not done. Anyway the close ups are of the most mature plants while others are just showing hairs. All and all things are lookin good though, been hittin em up every watering with cal mag+ and pro bloom soil. Plants seem to be takin it well.

Just a little update on the progress. Still feeding at every water bot. pro soil and cal mag+. Having to water about every other day plants are drinkin but I guess thats good. Starting to knot up a little bit and looks like some are well ahead of others as far as maturity and time left to go. Still under the 400, temps stayin in the mid to high 70's w light six inches or less from tops. Smell is not to bad yet. I'm really excited and looking forward to these things grow. Been fun so far and learned alot. They are in two gallon pots and I'm gonna take em in those all the way. They are thirsty plants, let em all dry a out a little to much the other day, kinda caught me by surprise. Leafs were drooping and i thought did i over fert or water, turned out dryer than hell caused it. Thanks
