I really don't forsee your plant getting to be 5.5ft tall..... Are you gonna top and clone? Train it in any matter? Or is this gonna be the plant in its natural form?

So I started Flowering today my plants are 13" for the biggest of the three and the other 2 are around 12" tall. Im going to be adding some Homemade CO2 for the flowering stage and also a DIY grow box so I can take some clones. Going to the store later to pick some stuff up fo rit all, I shall take some pics once I get it all fixed up

Hey man and Welcome. I just read over your thread . I use a 250 w too man . I keep it as low as possible , you want to take full advantage of the bulb with a 250 . It doesn't penetrate far into the canopy . I went to LST for this reason somthing you might want to consider on future grows if you stay 250 w. I run mine down at within 6 in of the glass on mine . I air cool it and have a fan blowing directly across thetop of the canopy . My first plant I grew with out training or topping vegged to about 14 in , it topped out at 39 in. in flowering you shouldn't have to worry about 5 1/2 ft plants .

Thanks a lot King how many plants do you normally do under your 250W I have 3 under there now Ive seen some people say 2 or 3 and one thread with like 8 under one but he never finished the journal. I just went out today got some poster board to make movable reflectors with my Mylar paper. Also added a few cfl 26W that puts out 100w light to get under the canopy. Right now My light is about 16 inches from the tops. Also making some homemade CO2 today to let fly around in the air.

I think 4 is good for 250 but no more . And that is pushing it . I'd supplement with CFL's over 4 . It's a good budget light wattage ,but as soon as I can afford I,m going with 400w Ceramic metal halide .

So I added a couple Weederade Bottles as I call them To give my plants a little CO2 boost during flowering so here is a few photos from it I will be fixing the set up once I figure something out but i figured they may as well get the co2 while i think

So I am now on Day 3 of Flowering and in those three days my little Midget plant is taller than my other two, When I started Flowering I had to PLants at 12" and the Dwarf at about 10 1/2" So In three days my other plants grew about an inch and that little fuckker went up 4 inches. I cant wait till they start show buds and getting all sexxy. :leaf:

Looking great kron...looks like I"ll be following you now LOL. Love the homemade co2. I do have a question though...what size pots are you in at the moment..I'm in 6 inch diameter pots and I want to transfer for a bigger pot but don't want to transfer during flower..so just curious as how big I need to go.

Everything looks good! nice and green. I don't think your plant will get 5.5ft tall, I notice in your pics that there is a couple inches of space where you could put soil. You will have the head room since you just kicked into flower and only at a foot tall.

Where did you serve?
