Hey guys thanks for reading this, I'm a first time grower but I did plenty of research before I started. Realizing this is not the same as experience I'd love any input anyone would like to throw at me. The details:
cloned jan 1st
flipped to flower on feb 1st
2 1000w hps bulbs in dual hood (started first 30 days w one mh one hps and plan to use one mh during last two weeks) the hood is cooled w a 5 ton ac unit meant for a large home. Closet is 6x4 also has a one ton unit that cools the room. I have two exhaust fans hanging on opposite sides of the closet. On top of the hood I have two one gallon jugs of yeast and sugar water to generate co2 this is rigged to the fan that blows between the light and top of plants. Humidity is between 10-20% temp kept between 68-80(directly below light) at all times. 12 ladies total and 25 ladybugs to keep any pests away. I used super soil and water with molasses water and superthrive every 2-3 days as the ladies tell me. How do they look and how long do they look like they have left if you can tell? Thx

they look good but small, and id say you have a few weeks at least left, like 5-6 but just guessing.
lol cool shit with the lady bugs.

I def thought they looked small especially for all the lumens I'm giving them

All I can say (and this is a guess...but may give you a starting point)...is the fact that you flipped them at four weeks.
However, that isn't necessarily out of the norm for clones.

Do you have a microscope? Where are the trichs on the buds on development?

Also, you may be killing them (or in this case...stunting them) with kindness.

Good luck!

Thanks for the post, I love the free info/help. I am going to the store for a microscope today. So I can get back to you later today.
Please explain your kindness comment please n thank you. I've never used nutes just supersoil, molasses and water.
thanks again for the free info!!

i am no expert but the plants look pretty small to even be in flower to me. humidity sounds pretty low too though i know people recommend low humidity in flower. the thermometer in the third pic says 86 which is pretty high too. i am sure what you get from this grow will be some nice smoke but maybe your next grow you could veg them a couple or a few more weeks. i am envious of your set up and i am sure you will get it dialed in.

Thank you yes it was at 86 because I had hood a/c and one hps off to take pics and video. (Otherwise pics get distorted) I never let them above the 75 setting when the closet it closed.(they flux between 70-80 when on and 65-85 when off) I only flowered them out because they were 18" tall (most of them) the tallest one now is 26" as tho it barely grew in flowering....the flowers do smell and look delicious but def not gonna be the yield I guesstimated :-/ but I'll be high off flowers just won't be dabbing w it ����

Oh wow, I was unaware there could be too much light as long as I had co2 and proper nute/ph/etc levels? Was I incorrect in believing this? I've actually moved the light closer from recommendation of a friend. Was at about 18" from top cola to now 10-12 inches

I don't know if you can have too much light but there's a point where you're wasting electricity, bulb life, fighting temps, etc..

Kindness is referred to as any action or substance that you provide to the plant. Too much can hurt the plant. I've seen times where the light has burned plants or worse. Also supersoil? Homemade or bought?? If homemade you could possibly have put too much of one mixture in etc.. When having plant problems you have to check your variables.

The plants look very healthy so I would do like chuck said leave out the st and veg longer.
Also if you are working from clones I wouldnt bother trying fim.
Just top, lst and super crop.
Or any combo thereof.


They look good
