Hey bro, do you have a separate area for mum/clones/veg? I'd use the floros for that and then use the 300w of HPS for flowering. If you work from clone you'll get better yields and more consistent results. ;-)
 
ihave pictures of the spaces i have. i actually have 4 or 5 spots i can utilize. i just dont know what to do to maximize my grow...heres pics of how much space i have and ill describe the lights.

1 4ft 2 tube t12 floro.
2 4ft 1 tube t8 floros
3 100 watt hps lamps
3 or 4 cfl plug ins w/ reflectors.

also i own a pharmacy and we sell medical gasses so i have a ready endless supply of co2 . again i dont know how to utilize it. so i havnt tried.

here are pictures of my plants at 3 weeks old. dont quit understand why the last one in the last picture stopped growing. any ideas why? actually the last two plants stopped growing. i dont get it. the rest are fine. same soil. same water. same everything. one thing ill say is that the hps lamps have worked miracle magic as far as healthy vegging. and time growing. wow what a diff from just having a floro above em.

here is the one female out of 5 plants. 3 turned male and 1 stopped growing for 2 months. it just started growing again after being flushed twice then transplanted into a larger pot with better dirt.

i posted some pics on here. they are the last pics in the group. the very last is the branch id like to clone. is this what i want to take for a clone?

also i manipulated all the large fan leafs so that they are tucked into the spot where i tied down the main stem. is it ok to tuck these leafs in or am i hurting the plant by hiding the fan leafs from the light. i did it so the rest of the plant would be penetrated with light. ie the bud spots

you appear to be a little heavy on the watering. this may be the cause of the slow growth. the leaves look "heavy" and slightly curled. try backing off on the watering and see if they grow faster. other than that they look really good. nice and green and healthy.
 
is it ok to tuck fan leafs to get more light to the iner part of the plant or am i essentially covering up the solar panels harming the plant.
 
this plant has had a hell of a time growing i had to flush it twice and remove dirt form the rootball and put it into a larger container with better dirt.
it has since three months ago started to grow again. this was grown at the same time as my female super skunk plant

you were absolutely right i went and got a moisture meter and i had way over watered every one of em. now they are ten times healthier now
 
i ripped the whole room out and bought a sun supply 2 400 watt hps lamp. i figured all the time and money i am spending i should get a better light.....but will it be better?

now im using a 400 watt hps above and 2 100 watt hps lights for side light. six hundred watts hps in a 3 by 3 by 5 feet high with no heat problem what so ever.

i tucked all the leafs in on one of my plants. it totally fucked up the leafs over time. they got necrotic eventually but thats a normal thing 6 weeks into flower right? dont the fans fall off as flowering progresses....
 
new pics , progression of the girls, which turned 5 out of 6 female. but of course the one i was hoping was a girl, has a ball bag now

well im happy as all hell now because last time i grew i planted 6 plants and 4 turned out male. 1 stopped growing all together and one other came out great. heres a pic of my new girls. im still vegging them. i tied em down and chopped the topps. multiple times on two and just the top on one. but the diff it made is incredible. ill never go back to the old way. when i didnt top i ended up with a main cola and a couple side branches. i cant wait to see what happens with these



this time around i changed basically everything about the grow. i bought good dirt instead of using yard dirt. i am using nutes. very sparingly though cause im afraid ill burn em. and i bought a 400 watt hps lamp, im using a 400 and 3 100 watt hps lamps. what a diff from the floros last time. now im only using the floros for vegging plants i cant fit under the hps lamps

heres pics of the girl thats back on track again. i tried to cut the top and clone it but the clone died in the cup before roots grew....dam i wish i knew how to clone. the chopped and tied bushes i grew would have been perfect to clone. or cut clones from . anyone have any advise on cloning id love to hear it. changing from floros to hps had made all the difference ill never go back

so today is sunday 2-15-09 and i just 2 days ago put my bushes into 12 12 i figured id do it now before they get too big to handle.

i also ordered violator kush, white labels white deisel and g13x haze, i cant wait.
yesterday i took five clones off my cropped plants. i took the lowest of the branches, all cuttings were at least six inches long.

i went out and bought clonex cloning solution, some rooting gel, little cubes and a humidity dome. i cut my first five clones last night . six hours dark then under a cfl so the light isnt intense. if this works ill have another 40 clones cut by next weekend.
