I top my plants down to just above the second true node, when they are only four-five nodes high - no stress to the plant. So yours are big enough to top if you like, and you should be able to root the tops. If you're interested in more info on topping, check out Uncle Ben's topping thread, it's...

Unless you seriously over nute your plants, you don't need to flush them before harvest.

I don't blindly follow anyone, but I do pay attention to what I read, and results. However he came by the information, listening to Uncle Ben's advice has more than doubled my yield per plant, and I expect even better results in the future. Has your advice done the same for people? Just because...

Yep you may end up having to tie them, I forget without looking what week flower you're in, but if you've made it past the two week mark, three is even better, then they shouldn't get too much taller.

That is a beautiful sight! Kinda makes you sad to cut 'em, doesn't it? Until you get your first taste anyway...hehe So does the purple kush retain that color even dry? Don't forget to post your dry weight when you get it - it looks good though!

Oh, lol. Well, it's kind of strain dependant - some strains, like Blueberry, for instance - will only give you their full potential if you top them, whereas others may yield less if you top. My advice? Research the individual strain you want to grow, and find out what others say about it, see...

I'm not sure what you mean by BLZ bud, so probably not.;-) I just finished up my Train Wreck not two weeks ago, have White Widow, White Rhino, Sour Cream and LA Woman a tad over four weeks in flower, and Lemon Skunk a tad over four weeks in veg right now. Check out the journal once if you like...

Yeah, my smallest buds usually dry within four days, five to seven days for the larger ones. Times may vary with your environment, so don't go by any set time schedule.

lol...I hope not! On a side note - I can't believe how quickly the Lemon Skunk is growing now, I may have to try this strain again, when I have MH lights to give them a better veg.

Nope, no special fixture required.

For this reason, it's best to save a few pieces of fresh stem - if your bud begins to overdry, just put the stem in the jar with it, and it should remoisten it.

They look great! That first shot is very pretty, High Times worthy, even!

Yeah you should get 30g off of that, maybe a bit more. Congrats on your harvest!

Yep no worries, they just get tired at the end of a long day, as do we.

Yep, it's normal. After it's fully dried and begun to cure, the smell begins to come back. The longer it cures, the better she'll smell/taste.

If you haven't, check out Uncle Ben's thread on topping - it's stickied in the Advanced section. I use his method, and get four main colas every time.

I wouldn't expect a pound on your indoor grows for awhile. lol If it was me, I'd just use that HPS for the entire grow, and add maybe a four pack of 6500K CFL's around the sides.

Just fyi, a plant flowered at 12" will be approx. 3-4 feet when it finishes, depending on the strain it was.

An HPS lamp typically gives off a yellowish appearing light, and requires a ballast to operate. Maybe you could post a pic of what you're working with and we could help you figure it out what it is.

Increasing the circulation will help with the heat, but ultimately, if you want to use the MH (I would) invest in an air cooled hood, or cooltube.
