Nug's 330w CMH grow (5 types of kush)

Feedback is always good.

Got bad news and good news.

Good news first. Just added 3 new ladies to the family. My buddy had to get rid of his 3 mothers (mad man og, sfv og and blackberry og) so I decided to adopt em so they don't go to waste.. He lett em stretch out a lot under t5's so they were about 4 feet tall when I got them. So I pretty much had to top them in half down to about 18-20in. The blackberry wasn't too bad but the others I had to trim real good. My other ladies are only about 7-9in tal so had to raise them about 10 in to have them even with the light. Do you guys think this will be a problem? Having more mature plants and lil babies together? I plan on topping the 3 new ones I got to keep them under 20in before I put em into flower.

Bad news. I found spider mites. I suspected I had them because I saw white spots but didn't see any untill 2 days ago. So quarantined the babies n cleaned the room. Got all of the ones I could see of with neem oil and alcohol (not together). Also got some lady bugs today to make sure they don't return, but I know there is a big chance since we have a serious problem with them here in socal.

I will have update pics of the original babies and the new ladies tmrw.

the differing plant sizes shouldnt be too big of a deal, as long as u dont veg for too long and they get too big for your space. the nugs will be smaller if u top and spread them out too much. how long do u plan on vegging for? maybe you can grow the clones out to like 2ft or so, then start flowering. the big ones wont get too big, and those clones will have fatter nugs.

the neem should get rid of the spider mites as long as u caught it early enough. i spray every 7 days. continue to spray the neem until a few weeks after flowering starts. this will keep them away. btw, try making the smallest batch possible. i use 3/4tsp. neem in 2 cups of water, with one or 2 drops of dish soap.

i noticed the babies look a little droopy in the second pic. im thinking overwatering. i almost spit out my water when i saw the worm behind the leaf in the third pic lol

ok guys picture time... (real camera this time, not the best camera but tried my best)

At has been about 3 weeks since i picked up the 5-6 inch clones from the club. All have been LST'd for about a week except big PB, which I lst'd yesterday.

The first five are of the original the San Fernando Valley (SFV) OG clone I got from the club. I love how the stems look in that one pic. This on is the bushiest.

The next 3 are of the platinum bubba clone I got from the club. This is one is growing the fastest.

Next 1 pic is also platinum bubba .i think it got stressed during transplant or something so didnt grow much for a lil while but in the last two days started growin like no other.

Next 1 pic is the pre-98 bubba, which I also think got stressed or something because it didnt grow much. (might be the strain? i ono?) but it also has started growing a lot in the past few days.

The last pics are of the 3 mothers that I got the other day from my buddy because he was going to trash them. They were under t5's so they stretched out a lot. The real bushy one is Blackberry OG, the slim ones are Mad Man OG and SFV OG (got 2 of those now by conciedence). I chopped them down to about 20 inches and I think I might trim some more.

I want to get the babbies to atleast 15 inches and then start flowering so that will be atleast a couple more weeks. I do have about 6 feet of height so I can get em pretty tall, but now since I got these mothers in I have a total of 7 plants in a 4x2x8 area under 400w mh (i have another 400w mh to use but would rather not)! Which is way too much in my opinion because i usually dont run more the a plant per 100w. So what do you guys this I should do? I was thinking of doing some king of scrog set up but im not sure. Suggestion would be great.

Sorry for the long essay.

P.S. All the babies that were in that humidity dome got trashed because of long story, but i did take 4 cuttings of the new mothers when I topped them. So techinically i have 11 plants in there now haha. (put em in bags this time cuz i got no room for the dome now)

Enjoy the pics.

All those babies are looking good...especially compared to the first pics.....with the diff. in height you might want to Scrog them but for 2x4 it's going to get pretty cramped..... but you still got a lot of height to work with....you could FIM'em? If not just put the tall ladies on the edges of the room.? I've got eight in 2x4x5 so i dont have the height u got but I FIM'd four of em, topped two of 'em and let the last two grow tall. I cut 'em a week or two before flower and when they took off I just moved the tallest to the edges and push the shortest (FIM'd) to the middle...I made a little SCROG with no Screen they lined up pretty well like a Big "U" shape...I'm leaning toward fimming all of 'em next time and making a legit SCROG. I notice so far, i'll have to wait till dry weight comes, that the fim'd trees are producing more than the topped ladies and a lot more than the straight shooters.....You there though so u make the call. this is just my opinion?

heres some earlier pic's of mine.......you can see the tallest two on the left then the topped, far right are all FIM'd which produced the most tops each? just have to see weight per plant?

Thanks for the reply. I think I will go ahead and fim them. I already topped 2 of the babies (one by accidentt when I supercropped it too much). How many times do u think I can fim/top them without gettin too small of buds?

By the way I think you have the exact same closet as me haha with the same swingin door

hey kronicgrower, if u didnt have that cool tube, id say turn that light 90 dedgrees.

lostnug, when u start to flower, try using both those MH's. or get an HPS thats like 600W
