400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

Thanks for the advice man. That really helps cause I knw This is my first time but i got 2 sweet island females that just preflowered and are now 20 inches tall. How long do you u think it is possible to leave them in vegeatative stage before i must flower becuse i have enough room to let it grow as much as possible but im just not sure how much is too much, if there even is such at= thing. Thanks again.

you can grow them as big and as long as you want but remember that when you flower them they will double or triple in size by harvest so make sure you will have room in the flower area,best of luck
 
Alright. I appreciate the help. Lord knows I need it. But yeah , right now they are 20 inch height but i actually made them bush before i made the stretch so they are pretty huge already. Im about to do the cloning process here pretty soon as well. Hey, lets say when i take the clones from my 2 mothers, and the clones are nearly 14-18 inches with pretty fat stems, how long after before i can place them into flowering mode (of course after they have laid down a solid root system? again man, youve been lots of help man.

you can start flowering as soon as they root or veg them as big as you want,its all about how much room you have in your grow area and how you want to grow,small plants or big plants
 
at harvest time, about how much yield do you think that plant in the picture would yield you, after it has been dryed and cured? I ask because im debating on whether its worth growing a christmas tree or just a rose bush(lol) , depending on the yield. Im looking to yield at least 112 gs. I had on e previous attempt at this and I grew a killer Willie nelson strand. It was pure luck that I grew it so good, except.... its growth mustve stunt on me because of the stress a rookie usually puts on his first attempt. i flowered it at 12 inches and half of that was destroyed because lack of light that was suppose to penetrate them, so i lost half my crop probably. it was in veg stage when that happened, thats y i say i wa lucky to even get sumthing, but regardless that little 12 incher only provided me about 7grams. Pretty messed up. But for now i just wanted to know how much your little baby is going to yield you?

from my experience its better to grow short bushy plants than tal plants indoors cause the lights we use arent as good as the sun and lack of light will give you small airy buds on the bottom.a couple methods you should look into is sog and scrog growing.i like the scrog method my self ,you just train the plants through a net and it will keep your canopy even and allow more light to your bud sites wich means bigger harvests.

good lookin stuff you got there.what strain is that?and 13oz,did you use just one 400 ,dirt,hydro?
thank you sir, It is white russian from serious seeds. its a passive hydro, in promix(soilless). 5 gallon buckets. I use 400 watt veg, then added a second 400 when two more plants were put in the room. I do a perpetual harvest so I pull out two plants a month, or 6 weeks, depending on the trichs. anyone who hasnt tried white russian should, giant fat dense sticky buds, and the high is what i have been looking for, for quite some time now. starts off with a great head high, then mellows out to an all around stoned, with no celing.

damn, i thought my lights were close... I use chrome dome and gavita bulbs, no hood, the reflector is built in the bulb. being that, i can only get about 8 inches before its too close and burns the tops. i just have a fan blowing on the bulbs at all times. 78 degrees with the tent closed up.

i have mine in a a/c hood so its not hard,my temps stay 78-80 in the tent closed up.ive thought about trying the white russian but there is so many strains i want to try its gonna take a while to get there,lol,heres a pic of my raw deisel at 16 days flower Picture 191.jpg
 
nice! would you to happen to know about how much(if done right, and i wait till the trichomes are half and half) will my 20 inch female yield me? I just started to flower them at 20 inches. just A round about estimate

this can very so much by how your grow is setup.strain,dirt,hydro,what size pots ,what the temps and humidity is nutes and how hard you push them.there is no way to tell what you will harvest.but they say that if your doing everything right you should get a total harvest of 1 gram per watt of light used.so if i had a 400 watt hps then the total harvest i should get out of my total plants added up should be 400 grams.but this could be harder than it sounds,good luck

Its not easy to achieve 1 gram per watt. Usually estimate at .5g a watt

thats why i warned him it could be harder than it sounds,i average about .5-.6 grams a watt so i know how it is,but if everything is perfect than its possible to get
