just saying hi ;) Pic's up! Thoughts? Comments?

Hi all!
love learning,site is great and has been fun reading through.

I'm currently in 5th week of flowering. Its a hydro set up w/ titan control 12 site ebb and flow system.
600 watt grow w 4 4ft 56watt helpers.
can only fit 4 plants in my area but will eventually expand it. Its a 6ft x 6ft x6ft grow tent.
This is only my second grow, first one I had 6 plants but had to harvest early at 6 weeks.
I'll post some pics in a sec, I don't know the strain as it was a private grower who created it and gave some clones to a friend who in turn gave ma a few. Its great smoke and has thus far been an easy grow!

here are a few pics

and a few more

During my first grow I had 3 strains growing and learned quickly that the plants needed diff nutes. In this grow I stuck with 1 strain.

I haven't taken more pics recently so I'll do that tonight and post them up. I have 2 more days to finish off week 5 of flowering. It seems they have slowed growth but could be that since I check them every day its just harder to see the difference.

Your pics are really low res man, i can barely see them. can you gt higher res pics? What i can see looks nice though.

a bit hard to see, but managed, you are going to have to move your tubes soon as they seem to be getting close, i used to use cfls/t5's for all my grows, and without picking i saw a minor error that i made for a very long time, all of your light is at the top of your plant.
and where you are not lst'ing the lower buds dont get much light, if you can pick up a couple of cfl's and place them around the sides, your plants will love you for it, and i found a great method that works for auto's using cfl,s.... you start as normal, then start your lst.
keep your stems away from the middle, to create almost a toilet roll holder shape, get a strong cfl and dangle it in the middle of the lst, there will be a couple of inches gap either side of the cfl, position your t5 lights over the plant, you can run the cfl wire through the gaps between tubes, but make sure it doesnt rest on a tube. now you will need 6 more cfl's 2 either side of the canopy at the front of the pot, 2 cfl's at the middle of the pot and 2 cfl's at the back, make sure there is a couple inches gap between bulb and any part of your plant... now you have light all around, and with lst you get higher yeilds. i used to swear by cfl's/t5's but moving to a hps has changed everything, everyone for their own, but to me getting a hps has changed the game.

I'll try to get better pics tonight.I think its the lighting. The plants got a bit out of hand as I'm still Leary of trimming but I've read up and will focus on trimming next grow. All lights on top because the told didn't get propped lighting from the 600 watt bulb with how uneven the tops are. I want to another 600 for my next grow and move the t5's to the bottom.

thanks for the posts!

No i mean the pics are all thumbnail size when you click on them.

so 1 more day to go to finish week 5...

couple more

Damn those are pretty. i'm starting to wonder if i'll even get that far on mine. day 13 for me and i messed up again by taking someones advice.

As you can see (now with bigger pics hehe) my grow got crazy because of me being a noob about trimming and pruning through veg. Looks good to me but what are your thoughts? Like I stated earlier it seems the buds have slowed way down in growth but may be packing on the grams as they do seem to be getting fatter. I should be able to check the trichs on Wednesday.

Thanks for any and all advice/comments!!

Oh and yes to 2 extremely tall colas barely sit under the main light, Ive had to pull them off to the side a bit. They are clones that I vegged for 4 weeks or so. I left the veg nutes in while I changed to flower for about 1 1/2 weeks. I did mix in bloom nutes as well but I think ts a good practice to leave the veg nutes in for the first week or so.

Dont give up! This is only my second grow and its been a year since my first grow (which I had to chop at 6 weeks so sucked)

To me they look huge! For me for a first grow that looks like a dream crop man. Hell for a second grow it looks like a dream crop. I didn't really come into this with the expectation of success on the first try so if i have any i'll be happy. I think someones gonna be a happy camper after they harvest.

thanks! I've found that most mistakes if fixed quikly are forgiven by the plant. To be honest this strain has been very easy to read/grow. Some aren't!

mine are hard to read right now, i've got some yellowing i have a suspicion where it came from but i'm not sure, someone here sudgested i give them cal-mag, they'll love it he said. 5 hours later they changed from a complete beautiful lush green to mostly lush but irritating yellow on my leaves! Can you read it? personally i think it was the cal-mag, they just didn't need it. Gave em almost a full seedling dose. Just paranoia?

if the plants look happy I'd leave them alone. Just water as normal it honestly looks fine. Do you have nutes in that soil? I know its hard to sit back and let the plants do their thing but sometimes you just need to let them handle their buis...
