have 8 sour diesel clones I vegged them for about 4 weeks (bought them as clones on Aug 9th) put them in 5 gal. pots. they are under 1000w hps for 12 light and 12 dark. i water them every other day i use about 4-5 gallons of water and disperse the 4 gallons evenly through the 8 plants. i am using foxfarm oceans forest with worm castings mixed soil. I am using foxfarm nutes: big bloom, & tiger bloom, i started using nutes 6 days into flowering, because i wanted to flush. they are in a 5ft x 5ft x 6ft 7in grow hut with reflective foiling (not white walls). Temp is constantly 73F TO 77F during light hours and dark hours goes to about 68F (ac unit), pH is always 6.3-6.1. Any tip/hints would be very helpful! i have osculating fans and two 6in. inline exhaust (YOU CAN ONLY SEE 1 INLINE IN THE PICS) the other inline is attached to the other end of the duct spitting the hot air out of the window. inline exhaust fans and a carbon filter. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK SO FAR??? ANY TIPS OR HINT WOULD HELP ALOT! IM A 1ST TIMER. anything you would do different? ps. THEY are really STINKY! already

They are about 31in tall. is that normal??

Nute dosses: tiger bloom=1/4 tsp/gal
Big Bloom=1-2 tbs/gal

*I USE NUTES WITH EVERY WATERING, IS THAT OK?

*I HAVE NEVER CHECKED MY PPM...IS THAT NOT SMART? HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHECK IT?

HOW MUCH LONGER FLOWERING DO YOU THINK?

Ya, send me an once hehe. ;) Looks like around 4 wks. I would say 4 to go. You answered your own question about the PPM. Looks great otherwise.

if you want other advice on nutes.. i was at the local hydro store the other day and asked the guy there about what i should use and he said the thing with foxfarm, iguana juice.. etc.. is that they are all made for a viriety of plants while advanced nutrients has nutes made for one specific plant... doesnt look like a bad route to take.

plants look good tho! had a lil sour diesel the other day.. its bomb! good luck

its pucks you put in water. it might be a lil easier on your wallet to just get dry ice in like a bucket and make a water balloon or a condom full of water and poke a hole in it. will last a day to a day in a half i think. but if you can afford it you could just buy the co2 set up. keep us updated!

the nutes are awesome i used them and had great results i also suggest you use mollases and bat guano. you can order it online by the pound and it help your buds out a lot!. Also i think you can water everyday. your soil looks a little dry but IMO
