I am 36 days in the the one on the right. Both AK47 autos. The biggest is 60 cms in height. I got them both under a 400 watt HPS in 10 gal pots. Any guesses?

Oh damn thats no good. I thought I had everything covered. I'm gonna have to read up about salt buildups now. Great I stuck em in 10 gal pots thinking id get better than last time and bought this new hps instead of the cfls i used for vegging. Don't think im even gonna break even here. Oh well a little bit of clean smoke mabe .... :/

btw the yellow leafs are from the light I'm pretty sure I had it too close, although I may have gone over the top with nutes too. Been using too much foxfarm stuff I think I heard it was great. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh cheers, well I am a beginner, can't get everything right first grow as for the mess I suffer from severe backpain. But I am doing the best I can. I only just transferred them to bigger pots and that pretty much wore me out. I'm gonna hoover tomorrow. And if your talking about the bags in the background as mess thats all the space i've got.

Thanks for the criticism. (genuine)

Clean up that closet bro!!lol jk.... 10 gallons are overkill for those baby plants!! But really tho but a tent or something that closets not going to help your yield!!

I am new so cheers for advice. I don't think I'll get a pound with the comments above but thanks for the wishful thinking AllenHaze.

I didn't know the cupboard would harm my plants to be fair but at least I do now. Cheers guys

You need to have lots of drainage every watering to rinse out previous feed thus preventing salt buildups in the medium. I see your not equipped to deal with this drainage therefore I feel you will be tempted to under water, building up salts.

Bucket in a bucket grommeted and piped to floor drain rocks.

Thanks Snaps, I do appreciate your concern for my setup do you think its essential in your experience that I make this change in order to get a decent yield. I know you mentioned it but 1 good thing about these pots is they are 'squized' together because they are made from fabric which is convenient so they fit under neath the small 400watt hps sort of like a rectangle.

Perhaps I could make several small incisions on the bottom would that work? How important is the drainage. I didn't know fabric pots were a no go. dammit....

Thanks so much I hope to be as experienced as half of you guys one day :P no lie. Any more recommendations or advice much appreciated.

also, does anyone think I should cut the top off the right? you can see what I mean from the pics, this would get more light to the bud points obviously

just pinch it and fold it over " supercrop / pinch" dont go cutting on nothing O.O
its flowering why cut away potential yield

and you could just staple up panda film and the stuff could stay in the closet just flap it over so you can still get to the stuff if needed
