320 watt HPS Grow!!

Hello everyone!
I would like to show you all my current grow! I have one female plant under 320 watts of HPS light (1x 250 watt, 1x 70 watt). The 250 watt HPS is in the Euro Reflector from HTG supply and the 70 watt is in the 4 sided horizontal reflector also from HTG supply. The 250 watt is being cooled by a six inch 250 CFM duct fan. I also have 3 computer fans that are used for intake and outtake. My female is 18 inches tall and 25 days into flowering. The temps hover around 80 but she seems to be doing fine. For nutes there is bone and blood meal in the soil (I transplanted a day before 12/12 light) and I water with budswell. The soil I use is MG Organic, perlite, and the meals. If anyone has any comments or tips it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the comment! I was thinking of tying her down a little to give a more even canopy. The only problem is that I don't have much room width wise. We will see though, I'll make sure to keep this updated for anyone that wants to follow it. Have a good one diggity

Shit, I just realized that you're already 25 days into flower. Go ahead and even out the canopy so lower budsites will produce better sized nugs. You can then put those lights in a little closer.

Next time do some training in veg. Maximize your potential, you have plenty of light for that space so use all of it.

On my last grow i was tying my plant down and it split right in half where it was topped previously. It ended up getting way too big for that space and I threw in the plant that is in there now. I'll be tying her down in the next couple days prob seeing how she looks after I cut the lower branches off for clones. Keep checking in, I got a good feeling about this one :twisted: :weed:

Got some updates! I fed her organic budswell 0-7-0 and added some bone meal to the top of the soil. As you can see she is a little less than 20 inches tall but is starting to really shoot out some nice white hairs everywhere. I tried to take a pic but my blackberry camera phone doesn't take the best pics in the world. If anyone has any comments or anything to say please feel free to post away! Have a nice day!

I'm guessing I won't really get any comments until there is some nice buds on the plant... I guess I will post my next set of pics in a few weeks then... Until then, have a good one and happy growing everyone.

Hey guys,
She has been growing pretty good but height wise I think she has slowed down. She is a little over 21 inches tall. She has two main colas on top and two lower colas. I am hoping I will get a good harvest off of her. Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome! Here's some crappy pics :sad:

Yo b, the link in your sig is broke. Lose the extra http and you'll get more action around here. Now I just gotta catch up right quick, ;-)

You should think about just harvesting the top colas and then letting the bottoms fatten up for an extra couple weeks; it's called multi-harvesting and it'll get you some extra weight.

If it was me, next run I'd scrog one plant in like a 10 gallon Rubbermaid Roughneck and just use the 250 up top. Something to think about while you wait for her to finish up.

:peace:

I tried putting the 250 on top but the Euro reflector was too big for my box unless I cut holes in the side. I would have done that but I don't have the correct tools or the money to buy them... Thanks for the heads up about the sig too

Yep she's from bagseed. She is at 41 days flower and is starting to fill in a lot more. I'll try posting some pics today for the few followers of my journal. Thanks for the link faux, I've been thinking about making a much bigger box out of plywood and panda poly plastic. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it though. This box seems to be working pretty good. I need to get a better camera so that I can get some nice bud shots though. Pics will be up today at some point... Thanks everyone

I did use the macro setting, the macro is usually is the little flower right? The digital camera is a cheap one from walmart. I'm not sure how well my sister took care of it because I could not get a clear shot. The last pic I would say is the clearest I believe. Thanks for the comment
