Just Some Of My Babies.

[Midnite Tokr]

400w HPS grow, digital, self cooled dimmable MH/HPS ballast, 4x2x5 foot grow tent, 4 inch Vivosun inline booster fan, 200cfm airflow, scaled down to 60% power with an Active Air fan control box. Everything is set on timers, 6 inch desktop fan for air intake, with a heater by it to come on at "night time" since my grow is in basement, and temp stays 60* constant. The heater by intake at "night" keeps temps inside tent at 70-71*, day time temps with exhaust fan and HPS stay between 80-81* humidity I allow to flux from 50-60%, dropping 10% per week, week and a half of flower till I hit 40%, than last 2 weeks dropping as low as possible, aiming for 30%-. Inside tent there's a cool mist ultrasonic humidifier, a digital weather station with high/low memory, and a 2 tiered oscillating fan set cross blowing, and on oscillate, blowing under, thru, and above canopy. Doing a soilless grow, using Jiffy Natural potting mix. Fox Farm grow big, big bloom, and tiger grow were/are being used, in addition to Sensi Cal Mag Extra, and Terpenator, an additive to increase, and boost terpene levels and production, adding to the bouquet of my crop. pH is fluxing between 5.7-6.3 on a daily since getting a digital pH/hydrometer, (love this instrument) feeding per nutes instructions, fertilizing the same with heavy feeding guidelines, and flushing with pH balanced distilled water, every other watering. It's day 8 of flower for my babies.

Oh, also l.s.t my babies, didn't top them this time. Just the required pruning required as needed. I have a 12 topper, 10 topper 14 topper, and an 8 topper, idk how many they'll have by harvest, I get s few more every other day or so, only counting ones that peak thru canopy as tops, trimming out ones that haven't to allow them light. Their growing like bonsai trees.

Howdy and welcome to the farm; nice set-up, good-looking girls and nice topping. Looking forward to some more pics around harvest time if you care to post.

Thank you!! I love my girls as much as my daughter's!! I started with 7, 3 were males, not bad ratio I guess. I decided not to top my ladies this go, just low stress training, was actually going for a halo around the outside edges of pots, just think that'd be cool, the way they're growing, its still a possibility!! I'll definitely be posting more pics, probably 2x weekly to show their progress. Its day 9 of flower, and they have already doubled in size. Its a small set up, relatively, 40 cubic feet, but the goal is to completely fill it with tops. This is my first grow with this set up. All others were CFL grows. Now i use the CFL box for starting seeds, and clones. That's a pic of a male drying. I have a cat with cancer, believe it or not, and she LOVES eating half cured leaves and stems. She began by climbing in my tent and pruning my plants for me!!! Lmfao, I soon realized the days she ate a handful of leaves she was eating more food, drinking more water, she was her normal dick head self again. So,...... I grow her her own plants, and I grow mine.

@Midnite Tokr ....my cat enjoyed a chew every now and then, so I would just let her sleep in the tent during the veg cycle. Bloom phase was a different story; after a few chews on my flowers she was "perosna non grata".

It's day 12 of flower. Buds are popping up, and growth has increased threefold. Below are pictures of plants on flower day 1, followed by pic of same plant on flower day 12, as well as pic of the plants top on day 12.

Thanks. Having some difficulty maintaining temps at "night". Ive been told for best results, I need to have a 10* difference between night and day, and the temps should be like 80*, day, 70* night. I'm averaging between 80-81.5 during day and 67.8-68.9 during night. Based off appearances, the Ladies don't seem to mind a 12.?* difference. I'm worried that it will affect the color, taste, potency, and overall bouquet of my harvest tho. Relatively speaking, how god awful important is the 10* difference, and is it set in stone it has to be exactly a 10* difference? I can't find anything about this.

Had to separate tops today. The ladies are growing so fast since putting into flower, they were choking themselves out. Rather than pinch and bend down leaves, or remove fingers, I decided to pull apart tops, and fasten them down, spacing them nicely. Now each top has increased exposure to light, grow room, and the side shoots get almost as much light as the tops themselves. It was a bitch separating all the tops, and fastening them down, but I'm sure the ladies will thank me with increased bud growth.

Yea they respond pretty quick, start bulking up. My Sativa was growing wispy, but the tops were in clumps, and my Indica's are getting so thick a canopy, tops were being smothered by the leaves from other tops. Lol. Really cool to watch, but I want as much light getting thru to the lower branches. Get them bushy too.

I noticed that your plants are sitting on concrete floors; that will definitely effect temperature of the soil. I've grown indica's for some time now and what has worked for me is 75 degrees during veg and 60 - 65 during bloom phase. Frankly I just eye-ball my grows and go on that; indica's can stand cooler temps during bloom phase. Just my two cents:smoking:

Yea for pics they do sit on concrete, they're grown in mylar tent, but tent is in basement with concrete floors. They don't seem to mind the temps at all, they're going NUTS with growth. I was worried about potency being affected, but from what you say, I'm pretty good I guess.
