Hi everyone, I been hanging around RIU for awhile now just taking in all the great info and advice. Started my first grow about 2 weeks ago.

Got some blueberry autos from attitude (very happy with the service so far) and decided on a DWC style grow, so after seriously underestimating how much all the gear would cost I ended up with a 400w HPS setup, 50 Litre res, Growth Technology Nutes (Aussie made nute, suppsed to be really good stuff, anyone else use them?) and a bottle of canna boost (Cant beleave how much that stuff costs).

I also got a bottle of DM reverse, I read the whole thread of the experiment using it as a feminiser, so figured it couldnt hurt to try.

So two weeks in everything is looking good, but it looks like the girls (Optimistic) are getting alittle stretchy, any input?

Sorry for the crappy pics, stupid I-Phone, I'll post better pics in afew days.

Cheers

as well i am still new to this and still working on building my grow box, but from what Ive read through out these forums generally when your babies start streching ya need to move your lights closer, for HPS a good height is generally i believe 12-14 inches, always a good way to tell if there to close just flip your hand over and put it to the tops of the plants if its to hott for you its to hott for them.

Thanks heaps, I have had the light abit high (about 45cm) coz when I first turn it on they started to droop abit, I've droped in to about 35cms now, I'll see how they do.

good deal let us know how they do

Ok So I've had abit of a rough start, but things seem to be taking off alot better now. thew only thing I'm worried about atm is that the stems seem really weak. I've got them supported by a drinking straw, but if I take it away, they look like they are gonna fall over.

Anyone have any advice?

Sorry they are still stupid I-phone pics. camera has a dead batt and cant find the charger, haha.

They do look a little thin. Do you have an oscilating fan blowing on them. That's supposed to thicken the stem.

yea at that size you should have a fan on them..

I've been abit scared to put a fan there, reckon if I do, they'll fall ova?

well then if you feel that way.. I would take the fan and allow it to reflect of the corners of the walls... (or whatever wall you may have created) and let the air just circulate.
