I finally got my 600w HPS last night! I also transplanted the girls into 1.5g pots and watered them.

Today is the first day with the new light and the first day of flowering.

All pictures are from 04/18/2009

The last two pictures are of the Northern Lights.

they look good, i personally didnt like how my northern lights turned out, but i think cheap genetics played a big part

I know exactly what you mean because both my smallest and largest plants are both Northern Lights clones, but they were taken from different plants. The difference is amazing!

I was looking at your plants earlier. They look amazing and I am looking forward to checking out your harvest!

if it's possible, put them into even bigger pots - that will dramatically increase your yield!

Bro the CFLs didnt do the Sour D any justice.....is that 600 watt HPS your using for bud or for veg?

You can get a MH conversion bulb for the HPS system....those plants would do alot better under 600 mh for a couple weeks of veg of then flower them with the HPS :peace:

I found out the hard way that the Sour D will almost tripple in height in the 12 day tranferance period between Veg and Flower

Thanks man, I appreciate the tip. I was told that 1.5gl would be enough but with the way that they are growing who knows.

You are exactly right. I vegged them with about 160w of CFL's for almost 40 days.
I got my 600w HPS on 4/17, transplanted & started flowering the same day.

I am aiming for 2 Ounces per plant, which I believe is very reasonable. I was able to get an ounce from one plant on my last grow using the same 160w CFL hood.

My next grow will be a 400w MH/HPS in a Hydrohut style tent, most likely from HTG.

I am really looking forward to that one! :joint:

Week 2 of flowering

I added my 65w CFL right in the middle of the plants. They provide awesome side lighting and they only cost $15 at Home Depot!

I would highly recommend these if you need some side lighting.

Check out the 2 new pics!
Enjoy :joint:

I have thought about using t5 lighting but a 4 foot fixture seems kind of bulky. I really was thinking of maybe a 2ft fixture for the veg chamber. Any experience/info on a smaller t5 veg setup?

- High Output bulbs have extremely high lumen per watt rating - 2,000 lumens per bulb! This system emits an incredible 12,000 lumens!

That looks perfect. I am going to do some more research before I purchase my grow tent/lights from HTG. That won't be for about 2 months anyway so I've got some time to decide.
