So guys all bad criticism is welcome I recently dont my first grow.... i used 12 37L smart pots so I'm told! A 1000w daylight and 4 standard 1000w lights in a 8x8 room I vegged for 5weeks but being a novice I left my babies in small pots for 2 of them weeks not allowing the roots to go anywhere.....weeks went on and grew well now in my last week(flushing) but the buds are heavy and just flop whats the best way to string them up? Thanks

They look pretty good mate but you didnt need them big pots for indoors your just wasting soil/coco. Looks like a bit of heat stress in there but they still look nice and big. Congrats on the first grow

What are these 1000W lights you are using? I've never heard of "standard" bulbs being that high. Are you using metal halide and hps?

Don't wast time flushing, they aren't in a toilet. It is a myth that you need to do that. As for tying them up, go to a nursery and by bamboo plant poles and then put them in the pots and tie your plants up loosely like you've already started doing. Looks like it's going to be a good harvest though.

A friend told me he was using these smart pots but using 50L ones and was getting 12-17 per plant per light how true this is I don't know but he does really well, And yes through the short summer we had there was times when the temp got to 30+ so I got a a/c unit and managed to get the room back to around 23-25 I've just harvest and I'm pleased my next one should be better
