I think this has happened to everyone here at least once. It really shouldnt hurt them. Dont get me wrong I would never let it happen again. It can make some plants herm depending on strain and genetics.
 
Hey thanks MEGA . They looked fine . just hate any stress ya know . Thinking of finding a way to get a half lb every 8 wks. got any ideas? im a soil grower but have no probs with switching techniques. Currently have about 400 watts of lighting ( CFLS and HID ) Let me know thanks the sizzler.

No need to switch bro you can easily pull a half lbow in soil with a 400 of course you also need to have the right conditions. What is your nute line up like? What are your temps? What is your RH like? How big is your grow area? Do you have good circulation and exaust? Let me know a little bit more about your setup.
 
Hey MEGA and everyone else here thanks for the reply. Well my set up is as follows. 3ft by 4 ft grow room interior covered in highly reflective emergency blankets. in the very center of my grow room i have a 230 watt hps conversion bulb by floralux on the sides of that i have 2 68watt actual 2700k cfls supposed to be equivelant to 300 watts each. also three other cfls 23 watt 2700k for a little more light. A 6 inch inline fan going in on the bottom right of the room and i just put a hole in the top of the grow box to let air excape it usually stays at about 75 to 82 degrees. lights 12/12 using fox farm nutes open sesame' tiger bloom and big bloom. Also mollasses I feed my girls every other watering mollasses every watering 1 tbs per gal That my friends is my flowering room set up .Got any suggestions??? I wanted to lrt you know that i have been using the fox farm nutes as directed. My veg area is set up with a 4 bulb 4 ft cfls 2 blue spectrum and 2 redd spectrum they do real well for the plants it seems. I use organic bat guano during veg every other watering with a dose of super thrive once during veg and once during flowering. Ive been told im doing a good job and plants look great but i would like to be getting bigger yields. I have real maine blueberry, bubblegumhaze, happy camper,palm kush,and a strain that is so unbelievable that took me 2 months to get my buddy to part with a clone its called M O B. Have you guys heard of this strain? Somebody has had to of heard of it. Guys its lights out right now but i will post pics of my grow room tommorrow okay and maybe you can help me adjust my situation so i can get 8 ozs every 8 to 10 wks. I love this sight because we can all help each other.I was wondering if i have too many strains growing at different rates and all if that is what is effecting my yields. let me know guys okay especially you MEGA peace out the budsizzler

get the biggest hood you can get. I got the xxxl magnums. make sure to use a hortilux bulb. if your are in soil feed, water with plain water, and then the next water with hydrozym .

use humboldt gravity

How many plants are you putting in this space? Is this your first grow with these strains? What is your usual yields? Space is kind of tight but I Know it can be achieved. Have you considered LST or SOG? Sorry to answer your question with a question, Im just trying to get as much info from you to see what we can tweek in your setup. How tall is this box? I would really like to see some pics. Your ladies need some silica in there life bro this alone will give you more stocks and healthier plants along with other benifits you can reap from the Potasium Silicate, look into this. Im not a big FF fan but it sounds like you are doing well. Sounds like most of your strains are indica doms. Im not familiar with all of them but I can tell you for sure the blueberry is not a great yielder. Genectics is also key.

Plants look nice. I think you may be overwatering those little girls. The bottom leaves look like they are kind of droopy and burnt also looks like nute burn. How many plants do you have in your flower room? It looks like you have 2 rooms?
 
Yea thanks for your replies. Mega i only water when plants get top crusty ya know, however yea the bottom leaves always get yellow during flowering , I thaught that was normal. As far as my room goes I added 4 23 watt cfls today 2700k. that brings my wattage to grand total of 495 watts 230 of which are hps I also added a 10 inch extractoin fan today as well instead of just having a hole on top . Seems to be working much better with a constant temp of 78 degrees now i think these additions will help alot ya know. As far as the room itself it measures 3ft by 3ft. with a 5 plus ft cieling. I am currently flowering 1 bigass 5 gal plant and 11 smaller plants as my back is all fucked up this should be easier to handle ya know. Im also hoping this will give me better yields . Let me know what you think MEGA and all my fellow budburners on here i appreciate it. PEACE THE BUDSIZZLER.

MEGA its me the sizzler I was wondering about this silica can you also explain this to me as well thanks 420 ttyl
the silica will help prevent defs. if your using RO water its a must. I run it and it helps with healthier plants which in return will help you yeld more. dont get silica blast its only 0.3% and the others are 3.0 %
