The bloom room is way too crowded. We're installing 6 new 1000 watt lights tomorrow. We spent today getting parts and installing a new sub-panel for the lights and cooling fans. Once the new lights are in, we can bring about 6 more plants in from the veg room to fill out the flower room. Then we'll hang 4 - 600 watt bare bulbs around a few smaller un topped Lavander crosses I have just for this purpose.

Here's 9 Bubba Kush plants 2 weeks into bloom. They're in 10 gallon buckets with Sunshine #4. I'm switching to this great coarse/fine coco blend I found for all future planting

This Bubba is 3 weeks into bloom. I'm very happy with the amount of bud sites and the current size. I'm going to go out on a limb an estimate this plant will yield 6ozs.

Here's a close up on a Bubba 3 weeks into bloom. By tomorrow night these girls are going to be getting blasted with alot more light than they have right now. These first couple crops are all about getting a feel for canopy shape, training, and light distribution. This is my first grow with real plant limits. Typically with a grow this size I'd have...well...uhhhh...let's just say alot more plants than I have here. So, we're trying to get a feel for how to maximize yield with only about 45 plants in an 8 x 24 foot area under 12,000+ watts of light. The other 45 plants are in the veg room, and I reserve 9 plant spots for a mother or 2 and some new strains.
