$5000 + in grow room and buds suck! you can go under my profile under albums and see picks. girls came out with low yields - around 1/4oz or less. the bagseed i started with was better the the bud i grew hydro. i veg for 4-5weeks and flowered for 9 till the tri turned 80% amber.

it doesnt matter how much you spend on your grow room. If you dont know how to grow and dont have good genetics it will always come out like shit.

i started with a large investment so that i wouldnt have to upgrade every harvest. i figured i start with good equipment and i'll learn how to tune my skills quickly. i never said i didnt grow i just like to know what mistakes i might have made to make it better,

Try again dude, Obviously you did something wrong. Everything is trial and error, and if you give up now what was the point of starting in the first place.
If you keep on trying all is not lost and wasted. Lets review your pro's and con's.

Pros

- You have a $5000.00+ Grow room
- all you need is seeds, And or clones.
- You had your first learning experience
-You still have a leg in this race.

Cons

- You have Crappy bud
- You're Spirit is crushed
- You have lost a little bit of time.


Now reviewing your pro's and con's, like i said you still have a leg in this race and its never to late to restart.

Get back in their man and learn some more.

No one grows their best plants there first time.

Keep your spirits high dude.
Try Try again.

it seems like you know what your doing so i dont know where you could have gone wrong. do you know anything about the genetics?

I can't say conclusively, but my default is always to assume a noob overnuted their plants when everything else looks good. I think your next grow is going to be 100% better, but please keep an eye on the nutes and always err on the conservative side.

wow with that setup you should be pullin 2-3 oz a plant vegging that long
 
i think that you need more hps when you are flowering. mh is only good for veg. i tried both mh and hps for flower also tried all hps i got bigger yeilds with all hps during flowering. stuff as much hps light as you can over your budding bitches and make sure you are running the proper nute solut. and flood every two hours for 7-10 min. while lights are on. thats wut i do and i get about 10- 14g per plant with no veg time at all. clone straight to flower. also experiment with diferent brands of nutes. good luck!:eyesmoke: p.s. i found that 6 inch rockwool cubes work best for flood and drain:eyesmoke::eyesmoke::eyesmoke::eyesmoke:

you can flower with MH, and it's fine, ..and don't stuff more light than you can handle in to a room. You have to think about ventilating , and your power usage.
