Thanks dude, and yeah they really are! Plant 1's buds are starting to form, got a 60x-100x scope and its COVERED in tiny little clear trichs )

and as for the light question :




^ That's how my lights are set up as of now, 1 x 150w hps - 1 x 65w 2700k cfl - 2 x 26w 2700k cfls - and 2 x 26w 6500k cfls

and there's an update right above this post incase you miss it!

Thanks for all the feedback guys, any comments, rep, pictures, or suggestions are 100% welcome!

How high above all the plants it your 150w bro? I've got mine about 4-6 inches away at all time!
Yours looks a little further, so I wanted to say that It's safe to push it with the 150's unless you can't cool the room efficiently ya know?
And my CFL's have burned my leaves maybe 2 or 3 times to date, because I try to keep them so close! Like 2"-3" from the plants at ALL times. Sometimes parts of the plants get closer to the CFLs than that! But I rotate them like every few hours.

You also might have moved the lights further away to take pics, so disregard that if that's the case, but I think you could DEF. condense the light you have in there!
And you could angle the box fan up towards the lights to help out while the oscillating fan covers the girls!

Good luck bro. You got this

was yours from clone or seed? i know they say b.d. is clone only, but i got a qp from cali and it had about 30 seeds in it. ive popped about 10 of them and the ranged from sativa looking leaves but with a squat bushy stature more typical of an indica, and the exact opposite, an indica looking leaf with a tall lanky sativaesque (even a word?) stature.. and some in between. probably random pollination but hey... could be something extra special in those beans. but if it is or isnt, blue dream that is, your plant still looks like its gonna be great smoke!

the reason i said that about the different looking plants from same bud is because if it was a seed you planted, it very well could be half blue dream, and half some mystery bud. could be less or more potent than blue dream. but anyways, who cares? if everyone grew the exact same bud, we'd be pretty bored of the same old same old

yea I was going to say to drop that HPS down on top of those babies... I run a 400w HPS and it only sits like 10 in off the top of my canopy, Sincerely420 is right crank that badboy down on top of there! make em thick!! lookin good as always.

Yeah, I keep it about that high for heat. Some days I can bring it down if its cold outside i just open my window and it helps alot, but it's been conciderably warm lately and a wee bit too warm in the room. and I might end up taking out those cfls to get hps closer, and it sucks with plant #3 stretching so much further than the others I have to take that one into account when placing lights too. Its just a pain growing different phenos with small light in small closet lol
but thanks man, i'm definatly taking that into concideration

Thanks dude, glad to hear it!

IT looks to me like you are wasting electricity. all heat issues aside, you are not making effective use of your lights. Those 2 60 watt light that are hanging at the top are almost useless that far away and that hps is far too high above your plants. next round you may want to try lst. Good Luck.

its all looking good. I'll cross my fingers for that "clone" its hard snappin em back when they are flowering or rooting them in general. but its possible. keep on keepin on!

yeah, apparently fans are seasonal in most stores? So I'll have them closer soon enough, went to Walmart target and homedepot lastnight and I'll I could find were heaters. And I can't get that hps much closer at all because of plant 3, unless you can think of how I can work around that? Anyway thanks!

Hmmm, put a couple phonebooks under it's pot to raise it up? That's what I used to do, and am frustrated as since I switched to hydro I no longer have that option

I just went ahead and tied that hoe down, got the hps closer to the plants with a much more even canopy


They're getting pretty crystally too )
