I'm doing a grow vegging with T-5 lights and flowering with my 600watt hps.

Tent: 3x3x7
Clones: Jack Frost
Stage: Still vegging
Pots: 3gallon to 7 gallon pots
This will be my first time using a 600watt hps light . So any tips will be helpful and I'm all ears to advice.

Here's a few pictures in the 3 gallon Super root pots

Also. I just transplanted a week ago into 7 gallon pots . They will finish in 7 gallon .

I love my T5s for vegging. I also use a 600 watt HPS for flowering. Is it going to be running in that little tent there? If so its gonna get hotter than hell. My tents only a bit longer than yours and I had to go buy a small air conditioner to put in it so that my babies wouldn't overheat.

Just set up the 600 watt last night today will be the first full day and I switched to 12-12 last night as well . Temps are at 77 degrees with 45% humidity seems pretty good .

This is my first time with the 600 watt so I'm anxious to see how I do . There's a lil droop in the leaves because the just woke up and I just watered

Just put a little trellis on there for limb support but they seem to be taking to the light well . Temperatures are nice and steady .

well for 1, i was using shit soil from lowes/home depot and bagseeds.. i average an ounce per plant which is terrible cause with my first grow using 400w and 2 plants i got 4 ounces. last time i did a vertical barebulb with 10 plants and got 12 ounces.. so yeah you get it.. yield sucks lol. this time i bought tangerine dream and got some freebies.. and im going with fox farms ocean forest soil this time aswell.. working on getting the rest of my list together.

Your yield didn't suck if you did 10 plants and got 12 ounces of a vertical 400. Actually you got .84 gpw which is great.

it was a 600 vertical bare bulb the 400 was 2 plants 4 ounces.. yields just seem low to me when people are pulling a pound with a single 600 the vertical would have been better but i had to pull them early cause of family issues

When leaves claw like that it means the plant is overwatered.
When the leaves go back to normal it means the plant sucked
up the extra water but growth will be stunted during this period.

Starting to see the beginning of the white pistols come out and try are stretching but I'm tying them down and bending them . What them to stay low and not to close to the light . Probably feed them on Thursday or Friday . I'll let them tell me when they're hungry .
