Well, in your plants' situation, any HPS above 150W will really be helpful

Noticed today the Kush has a little deficiency in some of the middle leaves and one new leaf. From looking at Jorge Cervantes Medical indoor/outdoor grow bible its either a Sulfur or Magnesium deficiency. This book has helped me learn so much that I will find rewarding come harvest time Since that was the case and I noticed on the older strawberry has just hardly a deficiency but its a slight discoloration on a side of a blade, I decided to give them a heavy watering. 700mL to the kush since it has more of a deficiency and I wanted to try and clean up its roots and maybe that will clear it up and its bigger than the rest, and for the two strawberries i gave 500mL of water just to be safe. I know they are two completely different genetics and strains but better safe then sorry. All bulbs replaced so cfls are a shining nice n bright lol. Pic update next feeding whenever the soil is dryish. Cheers!

Was supposed to do a feeding today but since the heavy watering soil is still pretty damp. hopefully tomorrow they will be ready which I think so. still gonna continue to water the kush until I see signs of recovery, but the strawberries will get an uppd dose of nutes. thinking about feeding 500mL of solution and watering 700mL to help it clean out any built up salts. Noticed by the drain holes on the bottom of the pots nasty nasty lookin salt built up so that freaked me out. Took everything out and cleaned the bottom of the pots with warm soapy water n then vacuumed the floor and corners and washed the floor as well. Keepin pests out since 1988 haha. Lookin good though pic update with feeding/watering. One Love!

Girls looking good. Fed the Blues 500mL of nutes and just 500mL water to the Kush. Seen some improvement the new leaves dont have the deficiency so hopefully she will be able to get some nutes next feeding. Been reading about indicas from jorges bible and it says that indicas love lots n lots of nutrients. So with that said I upped the dose 200mL since they will be getting a lot bigger in the next few weeks. Also just ordered my 600w hps digi. The description says the socket will always use 600w mh so maybe in the future when im not doing perpetual i can get a mh bulb. hella excited for the hood though, can tinker the socket so I can focus the beam of light directly over the plants so no light is wasted since i dont have the best reflective material in there lol. Cheers! One Love

Powdery mildew is suspect on the younger strawberry and kush 
. You can see it slightly on the pic above on the strawberry. Diluted water solution with baking soda is said to help cure it. So says Jorge himself 
hopefully by next pics itll be cleared up along with flowering hopefully depending on the mail. One love

I dunno if that solution worked <.< the leaves had a whiteish looking powder that looked similar to the mildew but I just think it was the baking soda build up or something. That kinda freaked me out so I sprayed them often with just regular water. Bought a ph up and down for my water but its for aquariums so not sure if that is even the right kind of tester I need to get my ph corrected. Anyone know?

Nothing better than opening the door to your grow room to reveal nice long white pistils on all your lovely ladies 
. Nothing better than that, yeah I already knew theyd be females cuz they came from fem. seeds but its still nice and reassuring to see that lol. Im not sure if I should be concerned with my S.Blue#1, shes a little stunted in growth compared to her younger sister and the kush. Her stems are shooting out like the other two are. The kush and S.Blue#2 look like mutants with their shoots reaching for the light. 600W should be here any day now and the anticipation is killing me But once it does arrive which it should by friday, Ill be setting it up and letting the girls get used to the shock of so many more lumens and the heat of the light before I go ahead and flower those bitches 
Things are looking up for those lucky ladies Got some rearranging to do in the closet to get ready for clones within the next few weeks. Gonna be a lot to check on coming soon, and I cant wait One Love!

The girls are looking very nice 
I need to clean stuff out so they have room to grow some more. The white canvas I have behind them is starting to lean up against the backsides of the kush and blue #2. Blue #1 is still really slow in growth but damn in one week the growth is amazing. The pre flowers are looking very nice on the Kush n Blue #2. Cant wait for this light to come

Nah not yet lol. I have been getting the smaller bags but in a couple weeks ill be getting the huge bag so hopefully since they are made in smaller batches shit will be straight
But yeah called the store and said they were waiting on the ballast so for having me waiting so long they are throwing in a free 600w hps bulb, cant complain about that lol. But chea just sucks cuz the girls are pretty big now so im pretty sure i got the space for em just gives me a good look on how itll look when im doing perpetual which is nice except the fact these first girls will prolly be quit a lot bigger. Oh well more budz then

God damn HTG supply. If there would have been some kind of indication that their lights were on back order I would have ordered my light a long ass time ago. Two weeks over due for my light, said they were getting their ballasts last week and shipping them out on wed but its still on back order. Just stressing cuz my girls are getting way too big for these little lights and I think its stunting the growth in the one Strawberry. Its limbs havent really grown any at all compared to the kush and younger strawberry. The Kush looks amazing as always just loving everything. Havent gave em nutes in awhile just straight water been waiting for that god damn light to get here. wish I could take clones but dont have the extra lights yet. Just pissed the light isnt here, they said there were 10 in stock when i bought it which blows. Got a free hps bulb so far prolly gonna call in and ask for a pair of gro-yos as well so I dont have to deal with chains anymore. Enjoy

Thanks man. Just freakin out on how big my girls are now
This light better fucking get here soon thats all i gotta say. Deff gonna need to invest in some Onablock in the months to come, dont need neighbors asking whats that skunky smell lol. But chea things are looking good, the leaves that were infected with whatever deficiency have fallen off themselves, and was debating whether or not to keep the dying leaves in the soil but since they had a deficiency I decided against the idea.

Good idea on removing the dead leaves, I take them out because I don't know how long it takes for leaves to decompose, so it could fuck up the flush

Finally, the day of all days has finally come. No more worrying about how im going to flower my lovely ladies in the future. Light all fixed up and ready to go. About 22 in above the canopy which i have a feeling I could lower it to as low as 15 in, cuz at 22 its still fairly cool at the tops. But i know they will grow a good inch or so tonight at least so I figure 22 is good to start at. I have a hps foot candles chart and according to that at 22 in there is about 10k lumens so about 3k lumens each plant roughly. I think shits gonna be good and dank! Just a little worried about how its hanging, the screws dont seem secure enough so Im keeping a close close watch on it, gonna find some kind of cement type shit to gunk around the screw and keep it in there. Enjoy!
