Here's this years' set of 400W beauties -- 3 bubblelicious and 3 superskunks. I ran two of these bub's last year along with some bagseed and they went male, so I hope that raises my odds a bit for this batch.

Pretty early; not much to see yet, but I'll keep ya posted.

Love my 400W - discrete, doesn't heat up the house, produces like a mutha for my purpose (personal medical plus close friends). I start in the winter when electric bills would go up anyway, not that there's enough "bounce" to pick out in any case.

No, I'm going with a more standard protocol -- 18/6 on MH for 3-4 weeks; 12/12 on HPS.

I vegged 4 weeks last year and ended up with a nearly unmanagealbe jungle. I'll probably pull that trigger at 3 weeks this year, assuming all goes well to that point.

looking good budz you only veg for 3-4 weeks? from seed? I'm used to clones, doing seeds this time mine are at 3-4 weeks I lst'd them they are only about 6" and getting really bushy, had to trim some fan leafs to get light to the nes comming colas. The spacing on the nodes are really tight, I used daylight cfl's for veg 2-3" away, I think the nodes are too close. Will have more pics when the wify gets home

ok i kno this is a debatable subject but im goin from xperience. Dont clipp fan leafes they r the eingines to the plant. tie em back out of the way if u need. i tested this too, and my ak-47 plant finished 2 weeks early. it make them mature rapidly, but they dont develop all the way so u dont get ur yeaild or ur potency, plus thay hold all ur nutes and wen u clip them....bye bye nutes.

thanks for the reply there fuzzy budz, but I have nothing to tie them back too, they are soo close to the plant and I just trimmed the tips of the leafs except I cut one totally off, had no choice really

First post in this thread for me! I'm currently on my first grow using HID lighting. I am using a Digital Greenhouse 400W Electronic Ballast. Vegged under Agro Max MH and flowering under Agro Max HPS. Had to use the HPS for half the veg state because my MH blew 2 weeks into the grow. Anyway, here's a couple pics from my grow, 23 days into flowering. bongsmilie

this thread made me change my mind and spring the cash on a 400w setup from htg instead of going with cfl's for my first grow. cant wait to start contributing after I learn some more and get some grows under my belt

Excellent choice; I almost started with cfl, then scraped up the money for 400W - you will NOT regret it!

My frist grow was a 400 mh
Then I had to move and then did 2 cfl grows, now this is my first grow with 400 hps, I'm stoked to death, can't wait to see the results, I garantee it's gonna be EPIC, I'm kinda glad I did the cfl grows, taught me quite abit, now I know what type of stuff to expect, and now I get to see my true potential with the hps.
Keep it green

yes, good decision. I couldn't afford a nice light for my first grow, so I just used cfl's and I didn't even get an ounce off of 5 plants. I figure if I'm doing something this illegal, I need to get a lot more out of it.
these are my plants as of a few days ago.
