Nope Sunday is the day...finally..and IF my math is right it will be 56 days since Nov 16 and I had the girls since Oct 15 (I was told not to count the plants first month of cloning since it's stage in life is that of a seedling..I personally like starting to count from the moment their cut but what do I know. I have no idea what kind of lamp I"m getting other than it's a 400 watt hps. This was not my orignal plan but a long shot...orignally I was going to keep the veg area as it is now. Clone the day before I flip the lights. So I was going to have probably 8-10 clones on hand..then at that point I would have had an 4x4 tent with a 6in HO CAN fan with a can filter 33. Was going to get a convertable MH/HPS all in one lamp to take care of this grow..after that I was going to move that ballast to the other side of the veg room and either start from seed or have more room for clones at that point just using the MH, the seeds were going to be autos so it would have been real sweet. At that point I was goign to get a LED light for the flower tent and really have some good stuff...but that's not going to happen right now so I"ll have to work within my budget get this grow underway and hopefully done (was told 53 days from 12/12) figure a week for drying and first week of March the three I have now should be done and I should be able to get in the clones to the flower by then...maybe seeds on the run after that. BTW torn I never did get my damn freebies

420- i flipped at day 38, but I'm under a 1000w.... I wish I would have flipped earlier because the gremlin bitches are about to blow the zippers off the 4x4 they're in now... 4x8 here Tomorrow!! thank goodness.... anyway, you setup is great - and you should have a good yield under your lights with a 60 day veg.
happy cloning- and pull more that 8-10 so if you screw some up you will still have enough.

you and I are a lot of like when it comes to soaking up knowledge - because you really want to succeed. Watch t0rn's videos and your clones will make it fine.

Those vids are rad if you have the time to watch them, I'd recommend you watch all of that guys grows as well as subscribe to him.
I'll second what Kiki said about the clones. In the future I'll be taking roughly double the clones that I need and cull all of the weaker ones, only the strong survive. This ensures that the transition from clone -> veg -> flower goes quicker.

Hey T0rn...I had a great reply to your post but the site crashed on me yesterday...but I"ll definitely be watching those at some point...I like wordy informative stuff...especially if there's visual aids. Kiki..def when even the slightest thing happened with my girls I freaked out..I had no one to really ask anything except all these great folks on RIU and do the leg work myself as far as research research and more research. So far I"m pretty pleased. I have a feeling though that veg is the easier of the two phases. Here are the last two shots of the girls before the move to the new diggs. I am thinking though that I might veg for one last week once they're moved only if nothing else just to make sure they didn't stress out too much...I"ve worked so hard not to get hermies and don't want any now. Next grow I will try to utilize hygrozyme full thing...seems silly to buy it now since I can't imagine it has that many benefits outweighing the prolonged flowering that I've read about. Not to say I'm not going to use it just not on these girls..maybe the clones...thoughts on that?? Height update tomorrow after their final water here.
Edit..forgot to add pics :s

I hope you have 7ft of overhead for those big ladies. If you're going to veg for another week, do it under the new lighting system to get them used to it. Start it out far from them and move it closer therefore hardening them off to the light.
I like the double bucket thing going on, is it to catch runoff?
Also, nice flag brother.

LOL so many things you miss when you take pics I didnt' even see the flag I'm just so used to seeing it. You guessed right with the buckets..I've used that method the entire grow and it works great..slow process with only one bucket at times...but I just need more buckets simple as that. I do actually have a 7ft ceilign thankfully. So you think I should use the HPS light to veg...I assume keep the same time as I am now 18 on 6 off.

my hats off to you to darlin'.
hey t0rn... my tents are all 6.5 ft. tall - I'm worries... cuz my ladies vegged for 38 days (newbie fuck up)... and they are 12 or 13 days into flower (i don't have my chart at the office with me)... and they are tall.... up to the light... i keep raising the light... and they keep getting closer... well - what happens when they go over 6ft....?? I'm worried!I hope you have 7ft of overhead for those big ladies. If you're going to veg for another week, do it under the new lighting system to get them used to it.
