400W HPS + 45w of clfs 2700k-FLOWERING-PICS

[sirus420]

So my hydro shop had a sale on hid kits so i broke down and bought one, a 400w HPS. i feel like i stepped into the growing game for real haha. So i put the flower room back into the closet and added another exhaust fan. Now my temps at the middle of the plant are 75 but by the light its around 92. Is this a problem?I got 4 13w 2700k cfls. So I had a thread on here for this plant in the cfl section, but no longer using them except for 4 13w 2700K ones. i put up some pics please comment and critisize as im unfamiliar with a hid system. Im used Jungle Green 20-20-20 for veg and Bud Bloom right now i dont remember the ratios and have Yield Up for the last, its a line of nutes from my hydro shop.

So heres a couple pics of the budz, you can see all the budding sites very distinctly now, im jjumpin around with excitement full time, i never want to leave-but i love coming back to see improvements. I also got a different strain plant on the go and im posting a pic of it but it looks like it topped itself. I have no idea how this happened, i never cut it once or tied it down. its only like 7-8 inches and is two weeks younger than my big girl. WTF happened to it?? PS the plant is tiny but has madddd root structure-big thick medusa hair roots-cocaine white lol +rep for answers.

thanks man i got two comp fan for exhaust and one comp fan for intake. The plant doesnt smell really yet but i have already made a diy carbon filter, by wolfman zen its in the diy section on like page 3-4. Im goin to be gettin higher power exhaust fans next paycheck, my temps are a lil high.

 

[sirus420]

can anyone tell me if I should be trimming back some of those big fan leaves so the buds nears the bottom get more light or does that not matter cause the bud grows in the dark?

 

[cwgizzle]

All of the fan leaves will fall off eventually anyway. I pulled mine off when 1/2 the leaf was crispy.

 

[sirus420]

ill just let them do there thang then.

Hey sirus, what medium you in? I just saw womething about using 20-20-20 nutes?<---got a link to what your using?

Everything I've ever read says to not clip any fan leafs.....they use them for the photo-synth bla, bla.....etc.,etc. But I 'll tell you, I was growing this Mazar x Afghan that's the stoutest looking most healthy pheno I've run........but the fricken leafs are huge and dont let the light through the canopy at all.......the buds underneath the canopy dont finish and are fluff. So anyway, I went to pruning.....I pruned MASS off! Well, the big one I still have left(at 90+days 12/12!) is now starting to finish; the buds are getting hard and she's loading up with trichs.....
So, maybe in some situations it may be alright to try, as it was for me. Unless your doing SOG you almost need to do some trimming, just hopefully before the 12/12 if possible.....

Well, great luck to you!

Alright so here is an update on my baby girl, sorry for not bein on here for so long been real bbusy. She seems to be almost stopping production, the top was burned a week ago and it hasnt come back, ive got the light almost 20 incehs away now. its odd cause the temps are alright. Anyone know whats goin on?

 

[sirus420]

Alright so heres more pics of my damaged girl. Im almost positive it has to be nute burn so im not puttin any more in until i see improvement. is there anything i can do to help speed up the recovery process? and heres a couple shots of my other "girl" who grew 2 main shutes on her own haha.

Im so f'in stoked Yesterday i found out that my indica plant is also a girl. both seeds are from bags of bud and one turned out to be a sativa and the other indica, and both females. She showed me her pistils only 3 days after bein in the bloom room. My big girl is doin alot better with more new growth on the top cola- it was burned bad by the lights and then sufferred rank nute burn. Everythign is pannin out now and i coundted 15 main budding sites and they are starting to shimmer and shine with resin
