could be alot of things...since i had received them half dead i decided that id play around with them..
1. got them flowering under 15/9 for a couple weeks and have been dropping light hrs 1 hr short every week except this week. currently on a 11/13 scheme.
2. been feeding some what heavy; im not using a whole line of nutes so im sure feedings could of been heavier.
3. could be strain and light leaks, windstress, etc... who knows lol.
wouldnt mind chemdawg strains to hermi out on me..that or any other strain to be honest as long as i had a warning about it

Nice crop man... Is it possible for you to post a picture of your grow cab. Im designing my first indoor grow cabinet and the max space available is 2x3x6. Now the prob that im facing is whether 6ft tall is too tall for such a small foot print (2x3). My outdoor grows spread out laterally and would fill a 2x3 footprint when its only 3 to 3.5 ft from the ground. Now for indoors, i know.... Its all abt training you baby but still any advice......?
Cheers

whats good bro. i will take a picture of it when i feed my current run. but to give u a better idea in the mean time all my tent is; its a portable closet you can find at walmart or target and such for 20-40 bucks. i just lined the outside with black poly that i got at lowes cut holes for hood vents and then cut my passive intake holes and 1 more for my filter. it is a complete diy tent but its getting the job done well.
now about your height issue, and your main concern being it to tall.... IMO there isnt a such thing as too tall for a cab. most problems are not enough vertical space more often then not. that and the 3x2 area not being enough space. personally i was worried that i wouldnt have enough vert. space but soo far soo good. yesterday as a matter of fact i kind of thought about my vert space because im about to flower a blue dream thats a nice healthy size. it could get huge depending on pheno and all but ive been supercropping. like u said with strict training you should be more then good. IMO outdoors a lil bit harder so dont worry.
thx for coming thru ill have an update and that pic for u

If you plan for a max height of 1 1/2 - 2 feet tall at finish.
I believe you want to grow the Mom to a good maturity, at least 60 days.
if you are not using feminized seeds you can flip your whole veg to 12/12, plants will show sex as soon as they are mature enough to give up clones. ( then run Mom on a separate timer, 125 cfl min. 18/6 or 20/4 even 24/7 lights.)
run clones, first 7-10 days in hood 24/7 , then you can veg at 12/12 for 1 week to 10 days
and put into Flower tent under HPS to finish.
height should be very manageable for 400 watt HPS.
it's a SOG or perpetual harvest.
You can hand water or set up drip irrigation or do DWC or Ebb n Flow ( my choice) whatever your using will fit a smaller tent.

^ thats a plan all day. i personally wouldn't veg any, as soon as rooted they go in 4 at a time, preferably; for example 8wk strain 2L pots (keep them small single cola) every week for 8 weeks. 1-2 weeks after cabs full start pulling and replacing 4 plants as they come out. find the strain thats right (short preflower, great yield, nice smoke and one that puts out alot of cuts lol) once dialed in your golden

yessir i did look into that and ended up grabbing it. its almost time for a new one; that and now that fall/winter is here humidity has dropped alot temps dont get higher then 80 in the cab so shits lovely. during some heavy waterings Rh can jump up if water during lights on. thanks for stopping by ill have pics up from last week and this week seeing this thread is getting a tiny bit of action
chemXMAT and the underdawgs are infants compared to the larrys and BD. they hogged all the light. will probably see a quater of halfs from UD and CM who knows.

added 250w in t5 HO mix spectrum off 6000k and 10000k
everythings going smooth, going to feed through out this week then flush time for last 2 weeks of plants that are about ripe.
headbands are still tiny and will yield little but smell of sweet lime
larrys are looking great, doing great, and getting plump
they smell like sweet/sour lemon-lime
blue dream is incredibly frosty(frostiest thing ive grown to date) and is doing its thing. she smells like a very sweet fruity haze. alot more hazy then sweet which IMO is a lovely thing. i cannot wait.
and the chemdawg X menage a trio's is purp'n up like it should. trich's are packing on as it should as well. she smells like motor oil and the typical purple strain smell (lavender, grape candy). not as distinct as the others, it takes a couple of stem rubs to get it knocking.
enjoy!
