Looking good at 4 weeks. What aspects of the environment are under control? You want to maximize this I assume.

looking very nice !!! i also just about to enter my 4th week of flowering...lookin pretty similar, just not as much hah.. how did you grow them? any LST or topping? how many you got there even haha!!! Oh yeah dont be sprayin the buds to much now dont wanna get any bud mold goin on!!!!
thanks. maybe i just mist em once a week then. got 10, had 16 but it was my first go around and my teacher had family problems and couldn't be here so i lost 4, dog ate 1 and 1 never really grew over 10 inches tall, i pulled her out, she's under the t5 with the one clone i had success with. can't get any more to root in my groclone. they r in there so long they get slimy gel on them. don't know what lst is. topping, yea i topped them, one of the tops is the only clone i got to root, my teachers back now though and can always give me babies.
unsure if it's cause at first i used spring water until i realized the price it was costing me to change water e3d in groclone and water the 16 pots i started using my well water. it's very hard rusty water. cleaning the shower is a nightmare and im always cleaning the sink screens. i am also wondering if i shouldn't be slightly chlorinating the groclone water, enough to make 200ppm. once they're in the pots the well water seems to do fine. but then i gotta wonder how much better or bigger or how much more final weight could i possibly have if i used fresh spring water the whole time. im looking into some tiype of water treatment for my place but i've reading and absorbing as much as possible and it seems certain methods really don't help much and possibly could make it worse. some of the posts in here make me feel like a complete moron, you guys sound like rocket scientists. i dabble with some chemistry even for testing other things for percentages and making and sterilizing things however the talks on here about the breakdown of what type of water has me stumped. also wide array of opinions on how much watering and nutrients during flowering, since im using organic ferts do i flush or not, some say yes, some say no. seems no matter how much help you got you almost gotta see what works for exactly what your doing. learning things all the time though. i was completely illiterate when it come to horticulture or botany or whatever this is called. gardening

nice plants! wish i could get away with using a 1000watter..
wut do you use? i just noticed my bills been astronomical and i have a high efficiency furnace which is about 12 amps and the 1kw is about 11amps and i had them on the same phase. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. just changed flipped the furnace to the other phase, hoping to see a 30-40 dollar drop. i just switched all my incandescents to the flourescents which so far i think i've knocked 700w off by doing that. got more to go.

yeah man i hear ya, only real way to figure shit out is doing it...I certainly dont know everything, very little if you consider how much there is to actually know about this great hobby. "LST" is short for "low stress training" it works great if you have limited space to work with, or wanna get lots of tops (least i think) currently I LST all my plants cause i dont want anything goin past 30 in really...only had one real run at LST so far from clone to flowering plants and it turned out amazing!!! all you really do is tie the plant down, once you feel its old enough which 3-4 weeks after seed i usually start to pull on them, instead of having a tall straight plant in the end you will have more of a bush! Also, when cloning I belive its best to you straight up distilled water, personally thats all I use is distilled water nothing else!!! Still havent gotten cloning completely down but have successfully cloned 2 strains, and also cloned those clones, altogether rooted 6, still trying to figure out best way for me to achieve 100percent success!
im defintely working on getting cloning down myself still. heres some updated pics of buds right before i hung them up and a fairly trimmed bud to show what final herbs will look like. thanks for the compliments, this was my first grow. only gonna get better. this was in a 5x5x7. now that i seen i can do it adding a 4x8x7 to the mix. gonna make sure i got full tents too before i start. this was only 10 pots in the 5x5.
