That is about the right size, shit I wish mine were that big at week 4 last grow. My temps were impossible to control in my situation so it led to stunted growth. From the high 90s, to the low 50s. I could not imagine running the same setup in the summer, it would probably be like 150 degrees in that mf..... The person didnt even know I grew in their home wtf lol! Now that's odor control, I wont do that again.


Think if you were transplant to 18 gallon pots. (People are going to shoot me for this!) Defoliate a LOT and give them 6-7 more weeks of veg, you will have at the very least 10 zips per plant

Yeah, my temp is right on point for where it needs to be, how ever since i switched the ballast form 600w to 1000w it seems to get alot hotter in there so i needed to open my tent for the 12 hours the light is on for an 81 degree temp and close it on the 12 off for a 72 degree temp. all and all seems like its working out but for the smell i have one of them carbon filters to ducked out of the window. the space for me right now is too small to increase the pot size any larger so im going to keep them at 3 gal for this grow but next grow im switching to a 4 pot 10 gal undercurrent hydroponics system that im currently building.

That 17 incher is going to turn into a 4 footer. Nice looking plants mate. I love indica plants. Short and squat but pack a serious punch in late flowering and smoke.

Is that a gorilla grow tent.
and what size fan are you using to vent out the hot air? 4x4x8 = 128 of Cfm.

A 6 inch fan would be good enough to pull that volume 2.5x that out of the tent. and you could vent in cooler air with a 4 inch inline.

No, not a gorilla im using an Apollo horticulture 4x4x6. and i kinda went for an over kill on the output fan with 435CFM just because I plan on upgrading to the entire room with a 6 1000w light set up. Im also venting in cool air with also a 6" inline but nothing really to special one of them $20 cheap metal ones

Mine were 15-19" and I am on week 3. The only ones that are stretching are the blue dreams. The other 5 have not stretched at all but are budding from all over. I wont get anywhere near 4ft. I am also running twin 1000w hps lights.

So i just stated week 4 veg and it seems like my plants are not as tall as they should be. All 9 of my plants are Caramelo Sativa strain, they are grown in a coco loco coconut core soil mixture. I'm using fox farm top 3 growing nutrients with a light cycle of 18 hours on 6 hours off. Im using a Apollo dimmable light ballast, right now it is set at 600w. The temp of my grow temp goes from 79-81 degrees with a humidity at 41-44%. now the tallest plant in the room is 13" and the smallest is 8", now i feel like that might be a bit too small for week 4. this is my first grow so im not sure how tall they should be at this time, I now that they should double in size during flower. Basically my question is are the sizes of the plants normal for this time in my plants growth?View attachment 3717943

Look at the middle plant in the pic. The edges are coming up, a sign of heat stress.

My mate flipped his sativa after 3 weeks of veg, his tent was 2.5m, after the stretch they were wayyy too big for his tent and he had to move them to an extra tall room instead. They got too big even for the room and he put them outside and they grew enormous. This was in spain where growing for yourself is legal. If you are in a non legal area, that might be a bit on top lol.
