Yeah. There getting there! I didnt have anything tied or scroged of course. Now everything is growing straight up for the most part. There are tops higher then i would like, i hope the just fill out to bigger buds. Tent is pretty full now. Once bud starts to pack on i anticipate alot of shit falling over because of all the topping some stems are thin. I'll probably get some yo-yos.

It may be to late but I highly reccomend tomato cages flipped over in this type of condtion. I get the 48" ones from home Depot for $4 each and just cut the top ring off and stick the rods in the soil. It at least keeps things from flopping all over the place when the weight comes on.

Another option I use is these trellises, they have 2 feet and can slip down the edge of fabric pots. I buy them at the dollar store and I think they're like 3 for $2.50, have seen them online too. Good for LST/support all the way through the cycles. I typically use 2 per pot but have used as many as 4 in a 10gal.

I was thinking that too. I'll have to go grab some.

After 1 week flowering. I expected more stretching this first week. It hasn't been much at all. The temps were a bitch this week, but i kept it under control. I started to notice some heat stress on a few of the highest leaves. I raised the light a bit more, but lowered them to about 24in above the canopy this morning.

gpw is great,, i think 2 gram per watt is achievable with cmh,,, my best so far is 1.4gpw but im aiming to hit 1.5 on my next run and think ill hit 1.75gpw once i get everything dialed in and veg plants long enough.. even a beginner can get 1 gram per watt with cmh wile with hps it takes time and expeirience to hit... grow and be well to all

1.2 to 1.4 not a stretch with the 315's, all about strains and filling the footprint to get the yields. You need to find the right footprint and height to take full advantage. With the 315's 34" to 36" height from the soil does well and will bring you above 1.5 with the right cut. Whatever you end up with though, it'll be a lot of weed :)

Hey guys. I am new to the forum and growing. Using a 4x5 tent but only about 3.5ft round area under the lec 315. Lotsa issues my first grow including getting clones with gnats. Pro mix Hp with myc ppm is 550 outta the bag. Temp too low a few times. Haha all learning. I am at day 40 of flower but everything is still pretty small. Watermelon and kemo strains

These 5 Chocolope all came from the same mother but there are 3 diff pheno traits outta the 5. Its weird. The Jack H is a really great plant. Very durable, low maintenance. It tops fine but doesn't like lst'ing. I kinda respect that.lol Its more like a tree. Smokes good too. I like the piney taste it brings me back high school.
I'll be happy with 1gpw. 1.4-1.7 would be crazy. My goal is to eventually pull a 2lb grow with it. Eventually........

Just an update. I feed them two days ago. One of the med stretched choco's need flushing (back left). This morning i looked and the other medium stretched choco (front right) need to be flushed due to clawing. So i pulled her out and ran about 3 gal of clean water through her. I took this opportunity to snap some pics.

oh yes i keep moms, clones,.. .ive been running th seeds bubble gum for a long time now im probably on my 10th or so generation clone mom.. i feel clone moms get better with generations, adapting to your grow style..i actually kept the misty strain for almost 7 years,,lost after a power outage...i miss that strain..just planted 3 5-0fems black skull seeds, and 2 female blue berrys by spliff and 2 regular nl5xafghan from mr.nice all in hopes of finding 1 strain to replace the bubble gum. the gum is a great producer of sticky sweet gum smelling stuff,,so its going to be hard finding a better strain to replace her..im running several strains but need to cut down to one strain that is all i need,production,structure,easy to trimm, and of course the quality high thats most important...
