I posted this in the newbie section because this is my first official grow, but having researched my ass off for the last 2 years I feel like I got a couple grows under my belt already lol I'm in a 4.7 by 4.7 grow lab with a 6 " raptor hood , 1000w Ushio Hps and two 6 " hurricanes....1 cooling the hood and 1 for the main exhaust! I'm growing 1 L.S.D , 1 Critical Sensi Star , 1 Purple Trainwreck and 1 White Widow! I FIM'D both the LSD and the Critical Sensi Star twice and topped the White Widow and Purple Trainwreck three times!!! I'm not really looking for any advice or yeild estimates lol , just some constructive criticism from some real pro's! My temps are between 79-81 F and averages 50 % humidity daily. I'm currently two days away from entering the third week of flower and I can hardly wait for these to be done lol I was initially gonna start a journal but I'm super busy right now let a alone tending to these ladies on a daily basis! Any Input for me?

The L.S.D and the Critical Sensi Star were vegged for 5 weeks on the dot and the White Widow and Purple Trainwreck were vegged for just under 4 weeks! I tried to start them all at the same time but the "white and purple" came later...Also , the white widow had an early deformity as a youngin' she had one set of leaves with only two leaves and when I tipped her for the first time I only got 1 main shoot instead of 2!!! I also had early P.H problems cause the ocean Forrest came out of the bag at a 5.4 P.H instead of the 6.5 that they claim it to be!!!

I overcame the calcium deficiency and slight nitrogen deficiency and everything looks to be good to go now! Who has a similar 4 by 4 setup that gets huge yeilds from there ladies?? I currently have my lights 16 " from the tops but can and did have them lower until I noticed a few pistols with brown tips on the Critical Sensi Star! After a lil more research instead of possible light burn I figured that it's probably just natural maturity from her as I've read journals of people harvesting her in as little as 41 days! Any thoughts or comments on the brown tips of the pistols?

I didn't look at pics but the pistils will turn orangish brown all the way as it matures. Other then that they look fine. I'd just keep humidity down and not chop the plant (s) that early. keep it up they look good

Thanks for the reply...yeah I definitely won't chop em down early but I gotta keep an eye on the Critical Sensi Star!!! The other 3 are 9 week strains so hopefully they'll be ready around the same time!

Thanks guod I appreciate that! I'm trying man putting forth a lot of effort and hopefully it all pays off! The first pic was the critical sensi star she should only have around 15 days left and I'm trying to post a pic of the other 3 ( white widow , purple Trainwreck and L.S.D ) but it's acting stupid and won't let me right now!

I'm excited the purple Trainwreck is showing hints of purple already with 3 weeks left... I keep a 17 degree day/night differential ( 64/81 ) to help bring the colors out!

That's the purple Trainwreck in my last comment , I guess it did post after all lol the main " up close " cola has several purple hairs in it but it sucks you can't see it from the pic!

One thing that I'm not happy with is the internode spacing of the white widow...hopefully she fills in nicely but I doubt she will cover that much stem!? Either way I'll take it as a lesson learned and do better next time around....I'll keep the pics updated! The next batch of photos will come in 2 weeks right before the CSS harvest

They look amazing man especially for a first grow.
I did a hell of a lot of research before mine and still fucked it up!

In the last couple weeks, the plants put on weight like crazy
Don't harvest them early or you won't get the most out of them!
When it's time to harvest, get a x60+ loupe or microscope and check the colours of the trichomes
5% amber, harvest time!
