I havent updated for awhile so here is a bunch of words and pics... sorry. Any white russian fans out there? Hope so, these ladies are standing in at 4'7'' to 4'11''. The stout one, if you can tell, is at 9 weeks as of the 31st. I think. The taller lassie is at eight weeks. Fed AN's conni flower. and their additives and supplements. 4 week from seed to flower, in 5 gallon promix hp, voodoo and great white. Gives them great metabolism and nutrient intake ablility. I mistakened a def for a toxicity, when feeding 1200 .I juiced them up to 2000 ppm and they still wanted more. peeked at 2500. Strain? Root inocs? Anyway their younger sisters are at 3 weeks and are easily taking 1700 ppm. I thought my meter was off. no, they just huuuuungy. Any way a 7 day flush is what was going on there with clearex. Poop on overdrive, makes ugly foxtails. Im ridding the bud factor as well when im out, going bloombastic. They were staked, but I let the lower branches hang. like the one in my hand. Im a big fan of the crusty white popcorn buds. 10% amber 10%clear..... couple amber on the younger mostly cloudy. should be a good comparison. The high is superb on the sampling i took. With a touch of sativa paranoia, must be the ak in her.Sorry for the rambaling.

You can do hydro and take out way less vertical height that with soil. I gro in a room that is only 3ft4in tall. I run dual 600w lights with my clones in my custom shallow dwc and pull a pound per light. Here's a couple of pics for refrence, I know they are 600w plants(not 400w) but its in relation to the quote above.
Here's my tub(Its only 7in tall)
And here's what it can do...
Screen(3ftx8ft)9 Blue Kush clones, 1 pound per light...
And hee they are currenly, weight to be determined.
I used the same tub with my 400w on my first grow with 5 White Widows and got 10oz.

Nice Integra, thanks for the rep as well.
Dez, like integra said. there are many ways to deal with height restraints. This is actuall the first time ive let them run natural growth without training. They just got pruned about 8 branches off the bottom to increase upper bud mass, well you can see it worked. As for the height restrictions, integras is basically the epitome of how short of you can grow. as for active and passive hydro systems, ive made my friends reconsider their active setups. I water once every 4-6 days, and spend about 10min a day, just checking their enviroment. Truth be told though, there are two 400 watters, in there. No hoods, glass, vents, ducting, lightmovers or any of that. Just two chrome domes, that barely heat up the room(80 at highest) I run a perpetual harvest, so Ill pull 12+ a month. If the room was full of plants same age, like last year it would be around 30oz. So it breaks down to the g a watt ratio. Peace

Sorry to jump in lads... Although I am a 400watter.. lol.
Dangledo - Ive noticed you've got a box in the pics wth pegs in, im assuming thats like a drying box? if so do you keep it the same room as where you flower and how do you control the temp in the box?
The reason i ask is Im trying to get perpetual but dont really want to build another box for drying!
Hope you can help?

I wasn't meaning I was going to switch back to soil. I meant I may be changing my hydro setup a little since as of now my tray sits on top of my reservoir thats on top of a small shelf/table which limits my vertical space. I did this originally to save me from having to bend down so far when I am messing with the plants since I have a really messed up back. You said your plants were 4'7" and 4'11" so if I were to let them get to similar heights I'd need to either take out the shelf everything sits on or move my revervoir. That's all I meant.
I'm not really interested in the height of your plants though as much as how big and fat your buds are. I feel I get decent size and amount of buds but they pale in comparison to the ones you posted up. This weekend I will be harvesting what was going to be the last of the larger plants that I've been growing. I've started growing hydro with a plan that gives me many small plants instead of a couple larger ones (kind of like Integra). You've just got me thinking of maybe supercropping the ones I've got vegging right now like I did my Sour Grapes and letting them veg longer to see if I can pull a higher amount of bud per plant like what you've got.
Thanks for info though...

hey man. im julius. I c u guys were tlkng bout 400 watters. Im a rookie and just had a quick question being that you have some experience by the look of ur pics, but if i have 2 female sweet islands going, n both are female . They are both around 6wks and already 20 inches tall . their pre flowers have sprouted and i am about to do the 12 on 12 off cycle for flowering. This is the first time i am going to use a 4oo watter for 2 big ass ladies and dnt want to screw this up pleeeeeaaaase. How for above the plant should i keep the light considering my reflector emmits all the light down directly on them and the room is 79-80f w/ humidity at 50%. Please tell me abpout how far above the plant should they be? thanks man i will be posting pics soon

as close as you can without burning the tops.if you can put your hand at the tops and it dont burn you then your plants are ok.just keep an eye on it cause you dont want the tops to grow into the lights and get burned.my 400 is about 4-6'' from the tops and theyre just fine
