My grow is in a suncast utility closet, it is 32"W by 18"D. My lighting consist of one mini FloroLux 150 watt HPS and then I have five 26 watt cfls. I have three females in this that are all about 22" and are in their 28th day flowering. Does my trichome production seem sub par? Any suggstions for my box, soil fertilizers, lighting requirements, pot sizes, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I was considering a bigger HPS but the heat is an issue with my cabinet, I have 2 intake and 2 out-flow fans but I probably just need higher cfm. Could you recognize the strains or what they may resemble. Do you know of a good place to get some beans, I understand that cloning gives you optimal results related to space. I appreciate your reply.

seedmandness.com and amsterdamarijuanaseeds.com is also good both do 20+free seeds with any order. the strains are also unkown aswell i got 4 autos out of my 20 free seeds ! and u shouldnt get much heat with a 250hps aslong as your outtake fan as near the light , the fan should be the size of your hand. and yeah clones are better/faster at growing because the allready have hormones in them

Day 40 of Flower. The plants still seem to be doing fine, i'm using a fert called orchid bloom booster from Lowes. I still haven't changed my lighting scheme yet, I do plan on purchasing two 90 watt led ufo tri-band lights. Do you think that will be enough light? How do my plants look for day 40? Can you tell how far from harvest I may be? Any ideas on what strains I may have? Any advice at all?

I am in day 51 after photoperiod change, very few of the pistols have changed and trichs look clear very few milky. I have added another 150 watt hps, kept some cfls just for the lower growth. My problem is that the fan leaves are turning really light yellow and curling upwards at the end. I fertilize once a week and water as the soil drys. I'm using a miracle grow soil for flowers and fruit, my nutes I just use Orchid Bloom Booster by Better Grow 11-35-15. Can anyone tell how much longer? Here are some pics, need help please.

Here are some pics of my two ladies at 59 days of flower. I can't really tell how much longer I should let them go. The trichs are like 60% cloudy and 40% clear on one, and about 90% cloudy an 10% clear on the other with no amber on either of them. they look good to me besides the curling upwards of the leaves. I thought salt build up but I flushed for a week and no help. I'm still using my nutes once a week, which is a pint of solution for each plant (2.5 gallon pots). One of the pics with the lighter is Blue Dream from somewhere in Cali (So I was told), and the other with the purpling leaves is a bagseed plant that hermied late on me. Oh and my lighting consist of two 150 watt Florolux HPS and three 26 watt cfls. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I'm still loosing fan leaves. I'm in my 63rd day of flower, and trichomes are 100% cloudy on one plant and about 80% cloudy/20% clear. How much longer should I wait? Are the unhealthy fan leaves normal? Some leaves on the buds are browning as well is this normal?

Yeah I don't know what the brown leaves on the bud is all about. I feed them once a week, 1 pint per plant and their in two gallon pots. The browning is just on one plant and it's just on the very tips of the leaves. I'm also excited to see the final yield, I hope they puff out a little more before harvest. I'll post some new pics tomorrow.
