I'm not exactly sure what you were suggesting. I can't really switch to a bigger pot before flowering when I am already 6 weeks into flower.

As far as nutes I posted in my very last update that I am still using only the nutrients pre-mixed into the Miracle Grow soil I'm using and 6.0 PH'd water.

If you have any advice for my current stage of growth I will be happy to hear it.

Thanks for stopping by man

All kinds of new pic's today.

I did a little work in my crawl space to accommodate my growing needs. I planned to use the black / white poly to cover the walls of my flowering room but my local hydro store is out until tuesday. I still plan to get some but the new setup will work for now.

This will be my final move for my growing area. I plan to built a "veg room" in the area where the Miracle Grow bag is in the picture. Once I build that I will take out the small wooden cabinet that I am currently using for veg. The new veg area will be big enough for mother plants and a few clones / seeds at a time.

The girls are coming along nicely. Plant 1 is showing more purple in the flowers. Plant 2 is maintaining the steady deep purple flowers.

Thanks for watching as always. :joint:

Awesome plants man they are starting to get real nice there. Yeah some close ups would be killer, and nice use of space.

It has been said several times in this journal that since this is my first grow I will be following the directions laid out in the "Buds for Less" book by SeeMoreBuds aka GardenKnowm in this forum (hence the name of the journal). In the book he has one seed and 2 clones using nothing but miracle grow soil and the light setup that I have and he harvests 8oz in 76 days.

Although I may see better results using bloom nutes I will stand by the K.I.S.S. method for the remainder of this grow. I mean you no offense and I respect your opinion +rep.

Does anyone see any problems with the size of my flower room vs. my 400W HPS? The whole area seems to get a lot of light and once I add some reflective material it should be even better. What is a good square foot coverage with a 400W HPS?

I'm excited, it seems like I have a nice amount of flowering space that I can't wait to fill up. I just want to make sure it's going to work ok. I don't have actual measurements but I would say the room is 4 ft tall x 3 ft deep x 4 ft wide

That light should light that entire room if your measurements are right. I would say it can light about 4ft x 4ft pretty well.

How big are those plants? Because I will start to grow right when I get a few seeds from a friend. Pineapple express and Green crack. And I am a newbie grower this will be my 2nd grow. My 1st grow failed miserably. over watered it =[. I have 3 CFL lights 150w and a small fan.. What are some tips and etc.

Here are today's pictures. I had them out to water them so I took my pictures then.

Since tomorrow makes 8 weeks it looks like these are going to be going over a bit. Maybe 30% of the pistils on the plants have turned brown. Trichomes under my microscope are still clear / cloudy. I haven't seen any amber ones yet. What do the folks playing at home think?

My plants that are flowering are roughly 2 foot tall including the pots. The pots themselves are roughly 10 inches tall. As far as tips all I can say is read this forum. This is my very first grow so my input is likely wrong or misunderstood lol.

Troll around the forums, find someone who's grow yields what you are looking for and copy what they did. Good luck bro, enjoy!
