Won't need 5gal it took me yrs but just don't need it will add height as well. Ran 3 3gal last run got just under 8oz topped at show of 5th node and flowered.You want the largest evenly distributed area as close to light as possible. I'm trying to post a light chart so you can see the different values of light relative to distance. https://www.rollitup.org/attachments/indoor-growing/2477346d1358006068-400-w-hps-distance-canopy-hps-light-distance-chart.jpg

so your saying i should just keep them in the 3 gals and let them do their thing. i topped a couple already but i thought in order for the buds to get FAT i needed a 5 gal. but your saying they will get too tall with the small space im using.
you dont veg your ladies out? you just do a bunch of small ones huh and scrog them?

3 gallon big enough,veg for another 6-10wks will need 5g and a lot more space and light. After many 5g harvests rootmass was not matching container and harder to manipulate. I grew 3 in 3g to 5th node topped before 12" and flowered. I don't have patience for "scrog" but I squash em down daily and tie em up with 18g thermostat wire weekly. This round I didn't go to 3 more like 1.5g but wanted these for herm flowers at end to cross my diesel so switched at 5 nodes,topped all in same day around 7". Your plants are prob 2-4wks older than my usual and 4-6 wks older than these.

Damn I should really flip my lights then. Im gunna give them 1 more week then flip the switch. I think I'd rather have them be too small than be too big and have space issues. Thanks man!

Never had it, but I'm amazed by the growth and smell....it's got that tangerine sweetness when you touch it. What you see is minus 1/2lb of fan leaves during week 3. Had to thin them out quite bit. I'll do some shots on the trim-up. When these seeds sprouted, they were sooo tiny...I'm like thinking "what are those breeders doing at G13?". They took to max nutes right away....some PK13/14 in weeks 4-5 may be part of their success.

so far what ive gotten from g13 labs is amazing! really like the breeder so far. and ya i had that smell on mine too. thought it was more like grapefruit but ya one of those citrus plants. as far as taste goes its one of the best i think. heres a pic of one of my little buds under a digital microscope.

My 2 G13 PE Express's are down and drying.......nice little yield for 2 plants that were the smallest sprouts I ever saw from seed. Graab187, they were 30days in veg and ≈14" high when flipped.

Just got my 400 watter, this is my third grow first two were outdoors. The previous two were disasters. Hopefully this will be my first successful grow. Right now I have my plants in my closet they're about a week old under flouro's. Planning to move them to my small tent in about a week. Right now I'm battling heat issues. Hopefully I'll resolve them before they're ready to move to their new home.
I've been reading this thread now for about a month. Still haven't caught up yet I jumped ahead (eager to join the club!) I've learned a lot already the pics and yields are inspirational. I'll post mine soon once they start doing something. Keep growing guys and gals 400w is the shit!

That's a 2.5' x 4.5' tent. I veg under T5's and flower under 400W Digalux HPS with a Lumatek adjustable wattage ballast set to "super lumens" and a Super Sun II hooded reflector. That ballast runs 130° at the heatsink so it sits outside the tent on a wire shelf.

Dirty fat Cola's. I'm impressed!!!(and jealous) if I can get budds anywhere near that with my 400, i'll be very happy.
I've only got one grow under my belt with a 400 (10 months CFL, 6 Months 250 HPS, 2 months 400), and that went horrible wrong. The plants stretched like made, despite only be 8-10" from bulb. Then I knocked the timer at week 4, to twelve and a half hours, for two weeks, addng to the stretch as they tried to re-veg, messed the budd up badly, and after fnding one seed at week 8, chopped them down, and put it down to a loss. got some ok smoking, fluffy budd, that is better then buying, but not happy.
However, my next attempt is looking much better, as you can see. What I have there are 5 Buddha Blue Cheese, and 1 Strawberry Cough from an unknown breeder. I grew them from seed under CFL for about 3 weeks, topped them 2 weeks ago, re-potted and put under 400w 10 days ago, flipped them Friday. They were growing well, short and bushy how I like them, but noticed how much space I had in my 3x3 tent not being used, and worse how much light was hitting the floor (what a waste of overpriced electricty). So yesterday I bought some cable/zip ties, threw some screws in the top of the pot and pulled the top 6-8 branches down a little on each plant.
After taking these pics, I saw them on the laptop and remembered seeing pics like this in my first year of growing and thinking "damn, dude got it down, must have been growing forever" yet here I am 20 months in, and finally getting it on the money
The last pic with the white fan at the front is before I put the ties on them
