Sour Diesel Update: 7 Weeks Flowering, Tips?/Hints, 1000w, 1st Time Grow

have 8 sour diesel clones I vegged them for about 4 weeks (bought them as clones on Aug 9th 200 put them in 5 gal. pots. they are under 1000w hps for 12 light and 12 dark. i water them every other day i use about 4-5 gallons of water and disperse the 4 gallons evenly through the 8 plants. i used foxfarm oceans forest with worm castings mixed soil. I used foxfarm nutes: big bloom, & tiger bloom, i started using nutes 6 days into flowering, because i wanted to flush, i did use a small dosage of grow big in the begining but since its my first time i didnt want to overdose the nutes. they are in a 5ft x 5ft x 6ft 7in grow hut with reflective foiling (not white walls). Temp is constantly 73F TO 77F during light hours and dark hours goes to about 64-60F (ac unit), pH is always 6.5-6.2. Any tip/hints would be very helpful! i have osculating fans and two 6in. inline exhaust (YOU CAN ONLY SEE 1 INLINE IN THE PICS) the other inline is attached to the other end of the duct spitting the hot air out of the window. inline exhaust fans and a carbon filter. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK SO FAR??? ANY TIPS OR HINT WOULD HELP ALOT! IM A 1ST TIMER. anything you would do different? ps. THEY are really STINKY! already


They are about 32-34in tall. is that normal??

NUTES DOSES I USED:
Nute dosses: tiger bloom=1/4 tsp/gal
Big Bloom=1-2 tbs/gal

i have since stopped using fox farm nutes , ever since i bought advanced nutes 2 weeks ago.

*I ALWAYS USED NUTES WITH EVERY WATERING, I FLUSHED A GALLON FOR EVERY POT about 2 weeks ago. BOUGHT SOME ADVANCED NUTRIENTS SENSI A AND B, AND BIG BUD, I WAS TOLD I SHOULD FLUSH THE FOX FARM GARBAGE NUTES, BEFORE I APPLY THE ADV. NUTES.

*I HAVE NEVER CHECKED MY PPM...IS THAT NOT SMART?

HOW MUCH LONGER FLOWERING DO YOU THINK??? THEY FEEL SUPER DENSE AND FAT!!! LOTS OF RAPID GROWTH, I CANT BELIEVE IT....

FOR MY NEXT GROW IM THINKING IM GOING TO DO GDP ? ??? AND ADD A 400WHPS

1srt to tell you, holly shit very nice setup, im so surprised to hear you didnt have a ppm meter. looks like you didnt cut any cornors on anything else. very nice

thanks bro! yeah i just kept my nute doses lower then the recomended and i never had problems...i read alot of what people were feeding their plants and how much to feed them and i watched their success and just applied it to my plants....i didnt even know i was supposed to taking ppm readings until about the 1week of flowering....

Wow nice JUNGLE ....I wish have 1000W...good job smoker...!!!

Your doing a killer looking job...If your checking the ph of every watering and it sounds like money isnt that big of a deal, you can get a ppm meter online for about 20 bucks.

Great job man...get one of those little pocket jewler's magnification thingys to check the trichomes...that's how you'll know when it's done.

It's good to check your pH and ppm frequently. You can definitely do well without that, but it's easier to avoid problems when you can see them coming from farther away.

Get a Bluelab Truncheon. They're pricey but you can't beat them. Anything else has to be calibrated. Those you just rinse clean and you're done. Rugged as hell too.

Beyond that, just keep doing what you're doing, you're in good shape.

Watch your trichs with a magnifier and that's about it man.

phenomenal! curious how many cfm's those inlines are pushing? what kinda scrubber ya using?

scrubber??

your air filter is what he means.....and how is your scrubber set up. you have it on the beginning not the end...does it work better that way?

Actually the reason most people put the filter at the end is because it works better that way. They work better having the air forcibly blown through them rather than sucked through them.
