have 8 sour diesel clones I vegged them for about 4 weeks (bought them as clones on Aug 9th 2008 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 used foxfarm oceans forest with worm castings mixed soil. I used foxfarm nutes: big bloom, & tiger bloom, i started using nutes 6 days into flowering, because i wanted to flush, i did use a small dosage of grow big in the begining but since its my first time i didnt want to overdose the nutes. 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 64-60F (ac unit), pH is always 6.5-6.2. 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 32-34in tall. is that normal??

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

i have since stopped using fox farm nutes , ever since i bought advanced nutes 2 weeks ago.

*I ALWAYS USED NUTES WITH EVERY WATERING, I FLUSHED A GALLON FOR EVERY POT about 2 weeks ago. BOUGHT SOME ADVANCED NUTRIENTS SENSI A AND B, AND BIG BUD, I WAS TOLD I SHOULD FLUSH THE FOX FARM GARBAGE NUTES, BEFORE I APPLY THE ADV. NUTES.

*I HAVE NEVER CHECKED MY PPM...IS THAT NOT SMART?

HOW MUCH LONGER FLOWERING DO YOU THINK??? THEY FEEL SUPER DENSE AND FAT!!! LOTS OF RAPID GROWTH, I CANT BELIEVE IT....

FOR MY NEXT GROW IM THINKING IM GOING TO DO GDP ? ??? AND ADD A 400WHPS

thanks mixin, i have never harvested before, so if anyone can guide me thru the curing process, i have a slight idea of the process, but need alot of tips!! i have a herb dryer i bought, i posted the pic, so the day i harvest i trim all the fan leaves and leave all the trimmed buds on the drying screens in the herb dryer and leave them for a couple days and trim them some more, then put them into mason jars???

cut it trim it, hang it, brown bag it, jar it

thanks supdro, yeah they are very sativa dominant! and they are about 32inches to 34 inches tall. i will deff let you know how the smoke is...

they feel very dense!!


thanks sublime & roxi

correct me if im wrong, so cut them, trim them, then instead of hanging them to dry, i can jus place the buds in the herb dryer to dry, then into mason jars???
