Supz Amax. I would definately agree with the more light statement. The 150w HPS would get you some bud, but you'd have to keep your plants short and wide for it to actually do much for you. Did you top those 2 at all? They didnt appear to be topped, but I figured i'd ask ;) I'm a scrog lover myself so I top and LST from rooted clone to make the bitches go sideways instead of vertical. I have a 400w light that I've used for 3-4 grows now and LST and/or a screen works wonders for light penetration. Either way tho man....you're gonna have more than you started with :D

they look good for first grow, i agree with the LST thing and if you can keep them short that 150w HPS should be fine, it just does not have alot of light pen and your lower branches are getting the shaft.

i would put them CFL u have lower to try and get the bottom branches some good light and rotate the plants 1/4 turn every 2 days

The chick on the right was topped around 4 weeks in veg. I vegged for almost 6 weeks. I heard it was beneficial to top the BB strain. So I decided to top one to compare. I elevated the topped plant to even out the canopy. Ive read alot about scrog and it sounds like the way to go. I will prob try that on grow # 3. Still learning alot from RUI. I germed a freebie alquimista seed about 3 days ago. I will DEF lst. Next grow is Blue Mystic.

Thanks. I will prob pick up a few more CFL's for the lowers. They are def getting shafted. LST is a must for the next grow.
