Ready to flower

My very first time I took all the info online and mixed it into this monstrosity wish me luck it's rainmaker I hear it's pretty strong plant hoping for maybe 6 ounces is that even possible

You should get 3-4 ounces per plant!! Good luck!! What kind of bulb are you running, and how many watts? You're not cooling your hood?? It would probably keep it cooler in your room if you did. Looks like a heavy duty ballast!!

don't quote me here but id say your 6 oz goal is pretty low >.< i can see almost double that if things go well

a 600 watt bulb will give you better results, if your ballast will allow...1000 watts even better. The wattage will directly effect how big/fat they get. I personally run 600 watts most of the time, just because 1000 really put out some heat. Winter is the only time I can really run 1000 watters.

Looking good though, especially for a first grow!! Watch for potassium deficiency as you go into bud...Blackstrap molasses can help!

Read up on supercropping...They will stretch like crazy when you flip the lights, and you can bend and weave to fill your scrog.

Get ready to use pH up with that tiger bloom. It lowers pH like a mofo.

400 watts will work, especially keeping it close like you are!

I like the bucket / basket setup, to protect your floors and catch nute runoff. Very innovative! I personally never flush in soil but that's a debated thing.
