First Closet Grow 400HPS! BigBud@CA Advice welcomed. Lots of pics and updates!

i have to see a bud grown on 30watt. that is crazy.
amazing growth rate with my 400wattMH. Every day is packing a half inch on. THe leaves are monstrous in 2 days, the stems are 3x thicker, and this is day 2. But 2 days at 400wt 5x more growth and strength than almost 2 weeks cfl. Boring is what the cfls would have been (I had 2 42 watts) Might use them for lighting up like a single bud spot on the bottom or something later. I went to 18-6 for first time today also. Light was on a timer.
So heres some fresh pics. Cause Im fresh like that. And now pics are actually interesting, as you can see, definite huge noticeable growth on these guys over 48 hours. Anyone see anything wrong with them or have advice, speak up.
Im going to canada on the 4th if my n|rvana website big bud seed doesnt make it here. Today makes 14 days. If it isnt here this week, i dont think there coming and im going. Anyone know physical stores in canada that are cool?

Bear, separate your plants ASAP!!! I know you talked about these being practice plants but perfect practice makes for perfect results.
your absolutely right, I do need to seperate them soon. Wasnt quite expecting such growth so quickly. Its like in the pot its a slow fight for light, cause you can see one plant will be pushing another to the side, then next morning like today, it fights back pushes a bit back. But yeah, im going to seperate, i figured in the pot had enough room for 3 stems, never thought about those 5 inch leaves. Ill be transferring today, there in there dark period at the moment, so im going to transfer later tonight, When lights come back on, at 6pm or so.
Ill show some pics after transfer, another set of leaves is out, another 1/2 inch probably. But there nice and small, im happy, none of them taller than 5 inches, but all have 4 sets of leaves. so thankfully that cfl in the beginning left them tiny. pics after transfer
Transplanted and went through some shock im sure. So I waited too long and those babies all mixed their roots together. Had to cut force them apart, moved them into bigger pots, not sure what size, think there gallon size. Should be enough for dirt weed.
So after i transplanted I watered and misted leaves. I also had them a bit away from light about 6 inches more than pic shows. But the worst is, after I transplanted them I had the light on for about 3 or 4 hours, but this hot girl Im talking to was over, and she wanted to watch a movie, and the closet these babies are in are where the screen for the projector comes down. So of course the plants lost that argument, I turned off lights, turned on projector and we chilled and fell asleep at around 3am and they didnt get lights on until 830 am. So they went like 10 hours with no light. I woke her up at 830am to tell her to go to work and turned them back on, then they went back to normal 18/6 schedule by lights turning off again at 12noon then back on at 6pm. Hope their ok, i just snapped these pics. at 6pm, they all look decent, One of them looks like its a real slow grower, Only has 2 real sets where rest have 3. I may kill it if it doesnt catch up over next week or two. No room for losers in this closet.
So im not helping these already likely male hermies from dirt weed by light shocking them, but im going to try and stay true to schedule from now on and if i get this fucking hydrohut already, then i can have my closet and projector wall back. Spent last 2 days cabinet hunting and roaming the depot and stapler and mart. Nothing seems like it compares for price and funtionality, and theres just no real real big store that has everything for me to build a sweet box. So im gonna do the $250.00 hydrohut for sure. And im still taking road trip 2k7 on the 4th and 5th to canada. So itll be BigBud and Blueberry most likely in 3 weeks. Cant wait. May kill the dirty weed, but well see, they are cute, even though there worthless.

Well the children are still alive, 5 alive. 3 are probably male i can feel it. There on just the 42 watt cfls and i move a 20watt regular fluorescent around to diff spots.
Taking a relaxing smoke break cause I just ordered a hydrohut 4x4, elf filter, 465cfm squirrel cage blower and the things to raise and lower the hood. So in other words, all pro in about 2-3 weeks. Still going to canada on the 4th and 5th and coming back with big bud and something thats colorful, blue or purple and something with alot of thc crystals ice or somethin. This is my new obsession and im getting serious about massive nugs. I already got foxfarm soil, fox nutes, only thing im saving up for is a ec ph meter. Other than that i bought everything i need.
only thing on the list i dont have is the extra squirrel cage fan, going to order it later, and i dont have the other 2 of 3 foxfarm nutes as i ran out of cash at store. Other than that I own everything else now.
200 - hydrohut 4x4 on ebay
200 - light 400w hps actual hydrostore
100 - 465cfm fan ebay
100 - going to need another probably, some ducting and crap also
90 - ebay 400w MH originally bought for diy projector but grow light now
60 - elf carbon filter bghydro
60 - so far growbig foxfarm nute other nutes i saw next week $20 each
45 - foxfarm ocean forest 2 big bags
40 - 2 42watt cfls and reflectors
45 - pots
20 - soil moisture meter, soil ph meter (stick kind)
10 - reflective hood raisers
6 - 100 plastic plant markers
15 - sprayers, elbow and a drain plug (test out diy hydro)
8 - net pots
?? - hydroton rocks and some grodan baby cubes
so were at 999.00 and i still need to get hydroton rocks and rockwool if i want to test hydro out. I also didnt put the PH ec meter ill need.
I think im going to go soil for sure the first two harvests being i already have it. Get some experience, but i want to play with the hydro stuff, get a feel for the pieces, the designs, functions and needs etc.

So i took out cfls again, switched in the 400watt hps at first light this afternoon to get them ready for bloom and the hps light in general. Threw in some foxfarm grow big veg formula. Followed directions of 1 tsp per gallon, and thouroughly soaked them till wet on meter. My hydrohut 4x4 should be here next week along with the fan and filter. Cant wait as the closet sucks at the moment temp wise. 2 of the plants got a little damaged, 1 I topped and pruned after it got attacked by the kestrel. It was awesome, i was hoping the bird would eat it or rip it apart but it just flew into 2 pots and started jumping around. But theyre fine, the other one bounced back within 2 hours and i did the emergency prune and top on other and its also standing up again now.
The bird is fucking awesome though. My friend (a girl that owns her) just makes her fly around the room to different shit. She may train this one for me so it just eats from a bowl and id build it a bath in a ebb and flow tray and build like 50 perches around the apartment. Make it chill on my arm while smokin joints.
So stick around the, hydrohut grow should be pretty nice as ill have my good seeds by then as well. and im getting everthing together to make it ebb and flow eventually, just lookin for some experience and a chance to look around for and save up for a nice 4x4 ebb and flow table.

Great info man..
I've seen some great grows accomplished within
a hydrohut. Definately keep us posted if you can!
I'm ponderin the idea now of getting 2 huts to achieve
a perpetual grow/harvest. Meaning..have a hut used only
for flowering and the other for clones and veg.
Anyway..good luck and happy growing!

Well, Nirvana, those bastards changed my order from step 4 to step 7 in one day on the 29th. SO now the seeds are on the way supposedly but i was going to canada at the end of the week. I may still go just for the fun of it. Well see.
And yeh im going to be posting setup pics of the hydrohut, from the box it ships in which nobody shows. to the empty hut built with nothing in it, which is also hard to see, to the hut filled up plants and lights and cooling, and then ill take some pics of me holding some massive buds and laughing also hopefully. keep checking folks

How much did that entire hut setup hit you for? And did it come with everything you need for venting? Fans/ducts/etc?
What about odor control....did that come with it as well?

The funny thing is the hut may be a hydrohut knockoff. I got it on ebay@ and then i saw a post someone said about they have knockoffs on ebay of the hydrohut. The one i bought said it was for a hydrohut grow tent. But there 5 pictures of the tent, with the double floor waterproof, with the different holes for venting, of the tent closed and opened and of a light hanging from cross linked ceiling, so if it is a fake, its a fake that i still think is worth 200 bucks free shipping. So ill be informative as to that as well, cause if its decent knockoff, 75 dollars off, ill still advise it. Its being delivered soon.
ANd for the other question bloodshot, the hydrohut and especially the ebay@ one is just the tent alone. But i bought a 465cfm fan, a carbon filter and the lights etc from different places. In fact a few posts up I gave out my entire inventory including prices and where i got them from.
