-First indoor grow-400w hps ADVICE pleaseee

iv grown before but just outside at thge cottage, no real enthusiasm put into it. Latley since everything is legal i said fucvk it why not try it, and then fell in love with it. as a electrician with my own buisness i have access to a lot of cool things that can help my situation, lights material and a general knowledge of how to build and understand, but we learn things everyday so im all ears. basically im going to post a pic every three days or so and i just want any advice or tips as i go im actually on week 4 of veg so i started this thread a little late but ill post some pics up to that point and well go from there. anyways iv been on this site for a while and stoner me just decided to maybe join haha either way boys here are some pic that i had on my cellphonne i wish i had them all from day one but this will do for now , i have toppped and lst trained these bad boys so far 2 green crack and 2 mango the last picture is from today so your all caught up im growing in a closet right now, juist bought a house so im broke as shit so bare with me for the set up, like i said first grow but i def will be upgrading also found a random seed thats why there is 5 in some pics but i scrapped it so we got 4 as of now
so the last one is as of today i just finished doing a bit of lst to open up some space

If your a sparky find a high bay MH little DIY work for a hood and for veg you will benifit over the hps. The hps is better for flower. Fellow Electrician.

Even t5 four bays are better i find.

Looking good tho man keep updating I'll watch along.

local 115 brotha, i do realize that the mh will keep nodes closer and not stretch out my plants but i was just too excited and kinda jumped the gun on that plus i also read that you could potentially use it for veg and flower and yea i got some under cabnit lighting just small flouresence but at the moment i have a few daylight cfls in there aswell 23w

Nice it's a great hobbie to be in man keep up the good work. I'm just starting as well almost done my 2nd Indoor run grown outdoor for years tho.

doing a little defoliation and cleaning up before i switch them to 12/12, basically what im going for is all colas. you can see my training.i have defoliated and cleaned up and denoded up to the tips. what do you guys think?

Another question should I still be training my plants? And if so how long into flower shoukd I or is it better to let them free???

I train my plants untill the stretch stops, once they stop growing there's no need to train after unless your supporting.

Thanks man, whats your thoughts on doing defoliation in flower. i usually just do one at 21 days into flower.

Been a few weeks. heres a little update been in flower for weeks exactly so far I got what I aimed for tops i did a good defoliation before the 12 12 switch and 21 days in , also I have a mango plant youll see in there that just didbt flower for the first two weeks it was weird but it's almost caught up now and I have no idea what happend beside maybe some light disruption I read that sometime it take a few weeks longer for that strand??

my computer is kinda scrambled with the pictures so its basically after my defoliation this is now 4 almosit week 5 of flower green crack and mango cushhh

WEEK 7!!!!!!! well here they are! coming to completion i cant wait.they say 8-9 weeks what do you guys think im going to have to flush these girls soon. i mentioned at the beginning i wanted all tops. it was my first time never grown inside before or any training but this is what i have so far i think i did alright
