2nd grow and i do not know what i did wrong! 4,500 dollar grow room. started with bag seed and the buds from the bag seed was much better then my hydro??? i'm using foxfarm nutes by the feeding chart and still no big buds. flood my plants to the point were the planter almost overfills to make sure the roots get juiced 6x during a 12 hour light cycle. co2 every hour for 20 min. temp is at 65 f at night 72 f during the light time hymid at 40-50 % at all times. 14 plants to start 7/7 male female kept to for mothers five for fun. about 1 1/4 ounces for all five bitches. TOTAL!!
how am i f'n up????

Maybe you're not letting them go long enough. It could be your seeds, too. "hydro" is not a type of weed. It's just a method of growing. I hate when people say hydro, because 90% of the time they're saying it to be cool, when really they're just making themselves look ignorant. For somebody who spent 4500 on a grow op, it seems like you would know that. No offense.
YES I DO BUT I FIGURED under the right conditions i could make something good better. also i invested to get something back. i did not expect much from the first grow but how to get all the newbie mistakes out of the way. i went by the color of the tri. i started flushing when they got to 30-40% amber and waited tillabout 85% before i harvested?
Aint that the truth ediots from my town always say that shit this some "hydro" or "dro", and im like get the F outta here.
Thats some mexican brick dumb F's sheesh...

I don't know man, but you got about 600 bucks back(assuming you don't smoke ANY of it) on that 4500. Good luck on your next grow
my grow room is a 6.5x 6x 7.5 i used 2 400w hps and 600 mh on a 12/12 cycle i did use co2 every hour for 15 mi have a climate control for temp and hum do not have a co2 meter but by the calc of the room i thought it was within specs?? for a guess the plant were in the veg room for 5 weeks and they were between 11 to 17 inches tall. i keep the lights about 15 inches from the top of the canopy some plants are a little taller so they get a little closer. but have not cooked the tops of the plants after it happened to the taller ones.

No doubt. Good luck.
He stated, in a not so elegant way, that what he grew in HYDRO was not as good as the bag seed. He did not say the strain was HYDRO.
If you veged for 5 weeks, they should not of finished between 11-17 inches. Something is stunting there growth. Again, how long did they flower? How was your PPM and PH? What water were you using?
a lot of times in the beginning its easier to keep it more simple. i mean with cfl's i just harvested a plant that was 2 1/2 feet tall and yielded 2 ounces. i am betting its the strain. it has to be almost. it sounds like you are doing fine besides that. so if i were you i would go get some clones, or order different seeds. cause that is a small yield for spending that much cash on a grow room! good luck man!!!
