Just put my hopefully girls into flower. Room is 2'D x 4'L x 6'H and I have a 600 mh + hps cool tube and can filter with 190 cfm fan. Is this overkill? Also plants vegged for too long I think 2 months they are about 3' tall. Using bc products. Trying for 8oz out of 4 plants in drip type hydro system. Bag s e eds only optionwaaaay too paranoid to order any. They come from some orange kush so hopefully female and another from what I believe is WW. I pray I'm right and that they are females. At least two. No pics cause dont know how to upload them but any predictions really appreciated. Temps are high 84 low70. Normaly around 79F Tho. Humidity 50-60 depends if fan on.
 
At least you have enough light. And there is no such thing as vegged too long. Your yield will prove it if you can keep them alive.
 
Why do u say if I can keep them alive? I think I'm going to run out of space as they are about more then half way up to light. Only 6' high so after light only about 4 1/2 ' for plant. So they have about 1.5' left before they hit light. Is this a problem? If so what can I do?
 
Or course you can veg them too long. A 600 HPS is not the unlimited power of the sun.

Yes, you have problems right now.

Have you trained them or topped them? Please say no.
 
I topped and FIMed them. I mean shit looks good the only thing besides height bothering me is the damn temp. The shit shot up to 94F !!! I rearranged venting to run thru cool tube and got myself another foot of room but that's as high as it goes :( I have branches super cropped some others topped others FIMed I mean the shit looks so amazing I wish I could sleep in the cabemit with them to suffer the temp with them. At night they drop to about 70 F. The whole room is covered in Mylar well cabenit but it looks great I'm at 1430PPM PH is a little high at 7. It is a hydro system so should be a little lower 6.5 maybe but it varies. I'd post pics but don't know how. Oh and veg room is different. That has a 150 HPS light. Some side lights too T8 I believe. Wtf I'm scared now I thought I was doing so good. Just ran out of money and couldn't get flower room together. Now begin the freakn problems!!! I'm working on LST. When I got home the reservoir had evaporated away so they are all droopy to hell. Idk what's gunna happen now but water back on and they look green and happy. Can't I just pull the colas away from the light? I mean if I tie string around them (as I had to do during seedling stage) and pull them a different way wouldn't that work? I guess that would kinda be LS T. How do I post pics? Do I have to go on a PC for that? I'm not stupid just don't see any place for attachments!!
 
I can't help you with your hydro problems, I grow in soil, sorry. You'll have to go to the hydrponics forum and ask questons of the the growers there.

Your height issues are fixable with a scissors. I know that's hard to hear, but you have to trim her way back to get the room to handle the expantion of the stretch.

Best thing to do is post pics. Hit the 'reply to thread' button and scroll down until you see the 'manage attachments' button. Hit that and it will go to your gallery where you can choose pics you already have on your computer.
 
CUT??? OMG but wouldn't I have to go back to veg once I do that? Also I can adjust my ballast so I can bring it down to 450 watts would tht be better for my space? I don't want to mess everything up cause I jumped into something too big. I have just been waiting for flower so long it feels now I'm 3 days in so going back to veg for a week will hurt but if I must I must. Can I Clone what I cut? I usually only clone the unwanted growt. I mean I have no more space for more clones but if they look better then ones I have already I'll swap them out. I'm 98% positive my strechy friends are WW incase that helps anyone help me. I'll deffinatly try a hydro thread. Ty for all help so far. I'd be so lost without this site!!
 
You just started flowering plants that are 3' tall. Expect them to double in size at least from where they're at now. Either you cut her down to size, you train the branches to the extreme, or you raise the lights. Since you've already trained her, and you can't raise the lights...

From rooted clone, the plants under my 400 HPS never veg for more than 3-4 weeks. You shouldn't need much more than that for a 600.

Absolutely, clone what you cut.
 
What about going back to veg? Do I have to go back to that? Sorry I keep asking what must seem like stupid Q's. I was looking at them about to cut but seems like it has pistols already but I can't put pics from an iPad or phone so idk wtf I can do to get pics up. Also what about the main colas I have quite a few competing for best but where do I cut them? I mean like its the main stem so I've never cut that only topped that. So would I cut it the same place I would top it? Where the main stem meets two shoots? And the veg question is vital to me so after that I'll leave you alone with newbie stuff. :)
 
I looked at them before lights out and noticed pre pistols all over! Can I still chop chop? Also did some reducting and added much needed air so down to 75 F before bed time but it's cool night so only time will tell. Would check now but don't dare open doors and disturb me princesses. If I decide to go Geoffrey D. on my girls do I need to re veg?
