3.5 weeks flowering + 400w + C3PO = My Grow

This is my second grow here on RIU, and i have switched from CFLs to an HID.
The run down:

Area - 2.5' X 2.5' x 4'

Lighting - 400w MH (Agrosun Gold bulb) Hydrofarm - Agrosun BUSUHL400HZAS Agrosun Gold Halide Horizontal H/O - 400W

Medium - Soil (5 gal), mixture of cheap potting soil, perlite, and some worm castings.

Nutrients - FF Grow Big/Tiger Bloom, following feeding schedule for FF

Genetics - C3PO clones, 6 week flowering 80% sativa, 20% indica

Watering - 2 times every 3 weeks, 2/3 Gal per watering

If i can get 2.5 OZ off these 3 plants i will be content. Any opinions or suggestions greatly appreciated.

sorry about crappy pics, they from cell phone and i am no photographer.

Lookin good , are you using any Co2? If not theres some DIY Co2 threads on here using fermented sugar/yeast with water.

Fermentation makes co2. Get a 2 Liter bottleand fill it 1/2 with warm water. Add a cup of sugar and 2 packs of yeast. It will make co2 for weeks and you wont get busted buyin yeast and sugar.

thanks for the tip, there are only 3 plants though. is it really needed?

Looking good to me! I am also 3.5 weeks into flowering, I have 4 plants in a closet and I do not use CO2.

Watered Today
add black strap molasses and tiger bloom. looking good so far, only 3 weeks left till chop chop.

Had to bend them over a couple of days ago because they grew too tall, so no they kind of make a circle under the light. just bought some plant holders and put one in each pot. then just feed it through to the holder in the pot one left of it. worked pretty nice gives a lot more light to the side of each of the plants. did i just LST on accident

Are they really going to finish in 5 weeks? You may want to wait a bit longer.

Would be 6 weeks and ya my buddy grows this strain all the time. has finished some of this generation already and it only took him 39 days. i gave myself the extra 3 for good measure. if it takes long it takes longer, but it SHOULD be done by then...

here they are, and they are looking good. the molasses dosent seem to be hurting.....

What do you guys think?

edit : weird bluish tint because light had just turned on....

here they are.....getting close to that time.

I would say a couple more weeks to let them fatten up.

mate, sorry but they are tiny, mine have been budding for 14 days so far and they are allready twice the size of that shit

Yeah you are gonna need a while longer. I got bigger budz on a plant budding for a week then those. There is not enough bud matter, it is just a puff of hairs. Trust me and wait at least another month.

kellythe foot, i like you,, pretty much straight to the point,,,a puff of hairs,,,,,,,we are sitting here punching a couple pissing ourselves

once again it has been cut today i will post some pics later, the trichromes are all milky. they strain is not the highest producer by any means but it is the high im after. the plant i cut last week i scored and oz off of......not to bad in my book.
and i would like to see this plant that has been flowering for a week with bigger buds lol. most dont even show until the second week of 12/12 anyways?

not really.

first pic is stuff that is dry and curing, second is of a branch that just got cut.
ill post some pics of the whole harvest when ever i get around to cutting it down. the strain is a local that was breed to be a fast flower and have an unbelievable sativa high........not to put out lbs im quite happy looks to be about 3 oz dry not bad for 8 weeks from clone to harvest

EDIT: last pics is plant 2 all trimmed up, 3 is probably gonna go tom or the next day

no comments now?

it still looks scraggly but like nice smoke man. my point was, with a 400 watt hps lamp, you could have had better formed buds..like you had an issue with light penetration. you can do 8 weeks clone to harvest with a lot of good strains.. sweettooth was the last i messed with; two plants cut at 54 days, 78g.. nasty looking nuggets. the pictures I saw of your plants looked super leafy and underdeveloped in the pics i saw.. maybe it was dark? anyway it still looks nice. enjoy your ganj dude

ya was under an mh the whole way, that is probably why it is so airy, but the strain grown by a couple other buddies (one use 6 1000s, the other 3 600s) and it al ways kind of looks the same. they mix their specs 50/50 hps/mh and it is a little denser but thc content seems to be same. hopefully with a long cure it should be smoking so smoooooth...
