Thank you!
my lights turn on in about 3 hours and i'll have better pics

hey thanks alot for all the tips bro..keep growing they are lookin sweet

Holy crap, so you have 800W of HID in a 3x3x5 area? Wow.. Sounds like you've got the temp / vent control to handle it, obviously.

How'd the sweet tooth pan out for you? Any pic's of the bubblelicious buds? Curious to see how they compare to mine. Bubblelicious is supposedly 75% indica, but I got a clear sativa pheno in my one female from this batch. I'm scratching my head on what this bud should look like at harvest; was expecting tight, compact indica type buds but I don't think that's forthcoming.

I have one bud left of the bubble from last time. I'll try to get a pic of it later, but the buds were very compact at the end. they looked very airy before harvest but when they dried they tightened up very nice. I love that I am able to put 800 watts in the little space and still control the climate. the lights with the mylar creates the most dense buds I've ever seen. The sweet tooth was fantastic by the way

Well, as promised here are some more pictures and an update. Day 6 of Flowering, Last night I watered and fed all 16 plants. Here's what they got
2 Cups RO water each and let sit for 20 minutes
then..
Pro Bloom - 6ml Cal Mag - 7ml
Liquid Karma - 15ml Sweet - 15ml
Hydroplex - 1.75ml PH up - 10ml
2 cups each of the nutrient solution
PH - 6.5 PPM - 1210
pics 1-6 = All Plants
7-9 = Northern Lights
10-12 = Bubbleicious
13 = old bubblicious bud (last part of the last grow. not much to see, but requested)
Alright, thats it for now. Any comments greatly appreciated! happy growing

Thank you!

Checked on them an hour ago. Loving the extra dose from last night for sure.

Pulled the girls out to water/feed them last night. They were very droopy and dry. I have reached the point where I will have to water one day earlier from now on. Fed with a 1230 PPM solution with a PH of 6.5. 2 cups plain RO water and then 2 cups nuitrient solution.

Yeah, man.. I've noticed that in early flower, they drink like crazy. I've had to water some plants daily, even pushing 2x daily at points. Lookin' pretty nice otherwise - that's gonna be a lot of mota there when they finish out.

I'm hoping for at least an oz off each plant

Under 2 400's? I'd be thinking a pound, myself - I tend to think of yield less in terms of #'s of plants; more in terms of light - 2 oz for every 100W, I figure, unless you're growing some thready, landrace sativa or such.

he has 16 plants and said he wants an oz from each one. 16oz=1 pound

hahaha im glad some one caught that

OK, tonight I am going to be watering again. I will also be trimming a lot off of the bottom of the plants so they can get more air circulation around the base. Its getting a little bit stuffy in there! I will be using only RO water and Liquid Karma. Give them a slight break from the full feeding since I am watering more frequently now.

Ya know... just a thought.

I went to feeding at every watering during my current grow and it has really worked out well. By feeding low-dose at every water, you're keeping a very consistent nutritional status in your root zone, since water and nutes are tied together. Kinda simulates hydro that way, especially later in a soil grow where the original soil nutrition is pretty stripped, and it's really just a "medium" at that point.

Lotta ways to skin the cat, I know.. just some "food" for thought
