Good stuff mate. In a way I hate the flower stage cause I have to go all day without seeing them. Mine sleep all day and wake at 8pm

Might have lights on during the night next time, especially as we're coming upto the cold weather. Only ever grown in summer before.

Exactly why I have my light on at night. I also grow all year around so in summer I just don't use a heater as the room is warm enough in the day. At night the light keeps the room at a nice 27 in summer and in the middle of winter I may need to use the heater a little at nite and definitely in the day. I have a blow heater with athermostate so it keeps the room at a constant 25-27 in winter when the lights are off. It works well for me.

Sounds like the way to go mate.i don't grow in the loft, its in a bedroom so hopefully shouldn't need to use any heaters. Loving the cooler westher now though, the temperature in the tent is around 25 today.

Perfect temps. I've now mastered the temps in the roof. Sometimes though when it's snowing I do need to keep an eye on things. I have had my biggest yeild harvesting in Feb so it can be done

A lot easier to get the temperature up than down. I'm going to get some ORCA film for the next grow aswell, this is said to reduce the temperature by a couple of degrees. Looking at my pics mate, whats your guess on yield?
Hows the Swiss ladies doing?

Mate I recon 6 or 7 ounces dry, but it's hard for me to judge from only pics. Do you think I've under judged with 6 or 7??? Mine girls are doing really really well. Getting bigger everyday. No real signs of flowering yet but it's only 1 week exactly tomorrow. Do you think it should be showing more than pre-flowers ?

No mate I thought around the same, maybe 5/6 but I'm a bit of a pessimist!
And that sounds about right for me, the plants putting its energy into growth and probably will do for another week, then it will start putting energy into the buds. Two times I hate are the first two weeks after germination and the first two weeks after switching to flower, so frustrating!

You think exactly like me. That's the same for me. After germination it can be tricky indeed. And this time right now is annoying also. But I am seeing growth which is the main thing. I will try and get a pic or 2 tonight when the lights just go on. The HPS light makes taking pics hard

Nice one Matty, look forward to seeing them! Yep the HPS is a twat for getting photos, I get mine as high up as it will go out of the way. The first set of photos earlier are just normal shot under the HPS. The second set are under the HPS but with the flash on. And the third set was when I took the plant out of the tent, so I took them in the dark with the flash on.

Looking good mate, they will appreciate the 400 in a week or so and start making fat smelly buds! Are you classing this as the first week of flower?
