This is my second grow here on RIU, and i have switched from CFLs to an HID.
The run down:

Area - 2.5' X 2.5' x 4'

Lighting - 400w MH (Agrosun Gold bulb) Hydrofarm - Agrosun BUSUHL400HZAS Agrosun Gold Halide Horizontal H/O - 400W

Medium - Soil (5 gal), mixture of cheap potting soil, perlite, and some worm castings.

Nutrients - FF Grow Big/Tiger Bloom, following feeding schedule for FF

Genetics - C3PO clones, 6 week flowering 80% sativa, 20% indica

Watering - 2 times every 3 weeks, 2/3 Gal per watering

If i can get 2.5 OZ off these 3 plants i will be content. Any opinions or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Pic #2 Overall closet Shot
Pic #3 Bud shot one of the middle branches.

Watered Today
add black strap molasses and tiger bloom. looking good so far, only 3 weeks left till chop chop.

Had to bend them over a couple of days ago because they grew too tall, so no they kind of make a circle under the light. just bought some plant holders and put one in each pot. then just feed it through to the holder in the pot one left of it. worked pretty nice gives a lot more light to the side of each of the plants. did i just LST on accident :)

Would be 6 weeks and ya my buddy grows this strain all the time. has finished some of this generation already and it only took him 39 days. i gave myself the extra 3 for good measure. if it takes long it takes longer, but it SHOULD be done by then...

Yeah you are gonna need a while longer. I got bigger budz on a plant budding for a week then those. There is not enough bud matter, it is just a puff of hairs. Trust me and wait at least another month.

first pic is stuff that is dry and curing, second is of a branch that just got cut.
ill post some pics of the whole harvest when ever i get around to cutting it down. the strain is a local that was breed to be a fast flower and have an unbelievable sativa high........not to put out lbs im quite happy looks to be about 3 oz dry:) not bad for 8 weeks from clone to harvest

EDIT: last pics is plant 2 all trimmed up, 3 is probably gonna go tom or the next day

it still looks scraggly but like nice smoke man. my point was, with a 400 watt hps lamp, you could have had better formed buds..like you had an issue with light penetration. you can do 8 weeks clone to harvest with a lot of good strains.. sweettooth was the last i messed with; two plants cut at 54 days, 78g.. nasty looking nuggets. the pictures I saw of your plants looked super leafy and underdeveloped in the pics i saw.. maybe it was dark? anyway it still looks nice. enjoy your ganj dude :joint:

ya was under an mh the whole way, that is probably why it is so airy, but the strain grown by a couple other buddies (one use 6 1000s, the other 3 600s) and it al ways kind of looks the same. they mix their specs 50/50 hps/mh and it is a little denser but thc content seems to be same. hopefully with a long cure it should be smoking so smoooooth...
