just gettin on board here lookin potentially well. trying to figure out wat all is going on tho.

so u got clones and let them veg for how long? cuz they dont look like they vegged that long but u have the space for it. just curious to know any specific reason. also the bend method aka LST (low stress training) is a good method i use too along with FIMming to promote auxin (growth horomones) to diff limbs and branches to grow multioul tops and main colas for more bud.

the c02 will increase ur heat due to percipitation. and humidity. 85degrees is aceptable with c02 and u need a SEALED vent system. if u are evacuating the air then ur sucking out that precious c02 u paid for and wasting it. the c02 should b at 1500ppm in the room to maximize growth up to 30% more and will use nutes and water faster.

wat r u using for soil? those 5gallon buckets?

u using a 1000w HPS bulb right? thats a lot of light for just 4 plants which is great. u could grow sum mini trees for sure.

u need a fan blowing too i didnt see one or a mention of one.

these r just sum helpful tips that will def make a difference if its in ur budget.

im def scribing and following along hope we can help see u grow!
 
hey well if it was getting to hot, just use flouros, they are cheaper on your bill, and they wont burn or heat up the room. but plants look good.

i beleive the heat was due to outside summer temps right? thats always an issue and the AC unit u do use needs to be larger then 8000btu for just that single room ure using.
flouros are a lot cooler in temp and cheaper to run and start cost but not good with flowering and if u already have the 1000w lamp stick with it.
keep the 1000w lamo at least 2ft away from the canopy tops of the plants always

it was hot when we had them in this small bathroom. my buddy then sacrificed half his room for them, were we got a window ac unit which is a tremendous help. We're 5 1/2 weeks into flowering using a good variety of nutes. We've also moved into a townhouse with an extra third bedroom for the girls all by themselves. Right now its makeshift but we're in the process of setting up 1 or 2 more 600watts and doing 10 autoflowering every 7 days. Ill take pics tomorrow. thanks for all the comments and tips. im always looking to learn more.

Sorry about taking so long on the pictures. We relocated and i took a while to set my computer back up. Anyway Tuesday was then end of week 6 of flowering. We've started flushing with reverse osmosis water and hope to be harvesting in two more weeks.
We've also added the other 600watt HPS as you can see, and two cfl's for the underside. We topped one of the new clones that have gotten 12/12 from the beginning, and it is going well and so is the other one that was supercropped and ended up with 3 tops. We pulled each top out and so far it looks healthy and like it's going to come out with some big betties.

Love to see some advice/comments

everyone says the last two weeks are the most important, and im really hoping so. I want these babies to blossom, big time. and yea, its a lot nicer to have an actual bedroom dedicated to it instead of half my buddies room haha.

we're actually going to give the autoflowering beans a try. We're just going to order 10 auto ak47's and hope for about two males so we can get quite a few more beans. if those work and turn out like we want, we'll be setting up a perpetual harvest. We are going to move 10 new females every week into the growroom so that we harvest every week as well.

there was another litle clone that ended up not doing much at all since it was rootbound, so we decided to see what some superthrive would do adn we added about 4 drops haha...it didnt turn out well at all.

oh yea, forgot to mention...
When we setup the next grow we are going to buy another 600watt HPS that has a 6" inch duct for the hoodvent as well as two new bulbs for the other lights, and new hoodvents with duct holes as well. Attatched to all those will be a filter and can fan venting into the attic.

the setup def sounds good were doin a rotation perp harvest style too but with a lil larger plants. with seeds u can expect up to %50 male so might want to get more seeds just incase and do ur own clones for a mother plant. which im thinkin ure gonna do since ure doin a perp harvest. heres the link to our grow journal too that we just started if u wanna check it out andsee our setup

we're going to attempt to clone these autoflowering plants, but if not, thats why i want at least 2 males so that we can pull those out and grow those in another room and hopefully not buy seeds again until we a wider variety of strains haha

we put them in for 24-48 hours of darkness tonight, the hairs were mostly cloudy and some amber, got through one full flush and half of another. Still have two more kali mist's growing, but we ordered our autoflowering beans today. We got 10 auto ak47 X diesel, and then they gave us auto roadrunner and kali hashplant for free, from attitude. i'll write a post once we get the beans to review their service.
ill post pics soon

These are the other two kali mists that still going. We topped one and the other one just got bent out three different ways. That use to be my linen closet, but is now the drying closet.

It's 12.5oz wet. 2.5-3oz dry would be cool
ill put a smoke report up afterwards. And also will be starting a new journal once the autoflowering beans arrive
