First Grow Hindu Skunk

Hi all I'm on my first grow They are Hindu Skunk, 2-400 watt HPS in a 8x10 room.
For ventilation I cut a 6x10" hole in my floor and mounted a Box fan over it.
I have 2 outside windows open, and Milar on the walls and reflective board on the floor.
I'm using MG Moisture Control for the soil, and plan on using Tiger Bloom for flower.
I fount Spider Mites on week 5 but I won that battle

My hard working LadyBugs


I'll post more pictures as time goes on.
2 more weeks and I put them into flower
Thanks for looking.
Tim

When I first got them I made sure I had my lights 5' over the clones as they were only a few days old, I did this for a week and then lowered them to 12" from the tops.
Watering... The first 4 1/2 weeks was 1/2 quart of water a day, then I dosed them with a tbs of Mollasses per gal. for 1 watering and then watered 2xs a day straight water.
I also rotate the plants 180* every morning to alow light to as much plant as I can.
Just found out that my electric bill is going up 3 times what I used to pay.

Well the fuckn mites er back! I going to nuke the bastages!
Any way going back to the grow if you have any advice give it.
Thanx
Tim

Oh yea ladybugs...
They just make you feel better...
I'm changing my avatar

i love hindu skunk ive grown it in/outdoor and im on another run in my outdoor this season, there some best bushes and it makes some tasty gooey bubble....damn and yours look really good.

Thanks I really have no idea about this strain or any other.
I grew some alcapolco gold back in the 80s and did good but man have things changed on the farm?
How tall should I let them get before I start them flowering?? I can only have 5 1/2'-6' at the finish.
I'm looking at 2 more weeks??
They are 26" and 21" now, gettin about 3-5" a week growth. MG Moisture Control 18-6 hrs. and no nutes yet.
brickedup.. Love your avatar it reminds me if a pipe I made back in the day, almost killed my friend LOL.

ya 2 more weeks of vegg will be nice , they look good its a super tasty strain, ya i picked up that mask in my avatar from this pipestore in redding for like 40$ wich i thought was super cheap cause its glass.

Redding?? Not to far from me.

Here they are at about 8 weeks & 31".

theyre looking ready

Yea I'm ready too, LOL!
They are at 30" average so what do you think 5' would be about the size at harvest? I just don't know how tall they will get after 8/9 weeks of flower?

theyre gonna get pretty big in flower better start lol.

when you switch the plant from vegging to a 12 hour light schedule, the plant will stretch and grow close to 300%. yes that's right, 300%. your plants have been ready for flower for weeks, get them started. At this point, youre gonna be in for a huge tangled forest of branches, so i suggest putting up a trellis of some sort.

Ok I'm starting today Just watered them with some "N" nutes.
My lights usualy go off at 11pm. I want the Lights on from 7pm-7am
so the'll be w/o lights for about 20 hours, that shouldn't hurt them, I hear
to put them in the dark for 24-36hrs. before flower.
Molasses and Tiger Bloom every other watering till 2 weeks from harvest,
then flush,
Did I forget anything????

Thanks Tim
