Northern Light Blue, Headband, Super Lemon Haze 400W HPS Lots of Hi-rez pics daily!

So this is my first go round, all of these plants were grown from seed, vegged from seedling for 30days under cfl's then 400wHPS when they were ready. Grown in a "Stealth Hydroponics" 4 site DWC system in a 32x32x60" tent until I realized that I had vegged for wayyyy to long to keep all three in the tent in the stealth hydro system. Ended up making my own bubble buckets after I realized how simple they are, and I ended up taking the grow tent down and converting my entire closet into a grow area using some "panda poly". After about 1 week flowering under only the 400w HPS, I added two 68W(300w equiv)2700K CFL's from Home Depot. So here they are, from seedling to right now!


If anyone would like to send some comments/questions/encouragement this way I'm dying to hear how these look for their age - seeds germinated Nov.30th. I'm also really curious as to what people think I might yield off these three babies. I'm shooting for 2oz per plant which would be about .35ish grams per watt so fairly conservative right? (536watts, 14 square feet) ~55,000 lumens.


Forgot to mention - these were germinated Nov.30th, ran under 400wHPS most of their life 24/0, and then switched to 12/12 Dec.31st. Added 136 more Watts with two big Ol' CFL's on day 8 of flowering because my closet just wasn't blindingly bright enough without em'.



























Here's some more pics from right now! (Jan.15 5pm central USA)













Here is a quick video of my grow room.
Here are some pics from this morning Jan.17th. Mostly of the Headband, or is it Northern Light Blue? I really think i might have mixed those tags up, find out soon enough.









Couple of closeups of the budsites that i got with my ghetto macro invention..aka a 50mm lens held by hand in reverse in front of my slr. I used to have a 100mm macro..sigh...








pictures from Jan.18th...holy crap the headband exploded over a day, drank over a gallon of water too!












 
Thanks Beans :) Do you have a lot of experience growing? If so, do you think you could throw a wild guess my way what i might expect to yield off the biggest plant thats flowering the most right now (that I am almost positive now is headband)? I know it comes down to many different variables, but I just would love to "shoot the shit" about it with someone who has grown before. The plants are montsers, and I am using almost 700W of light, albeit 272 of that is from CFLS.

Thanks for the encouragement :) i get pictures up every morning early if I can after work (workin night shift, leave for work before my lights turn on 3:30pm-330am so i can check them when i get home from work)
 
2.5weeks into flower she is Ganjahoarder! Headband took off first, then northern light blue, and last night I saw some white hairs finally popping out of the Super Lemon Haze. Took 2 and a half weeks for them to show! Stupid sativas... I kid I kid. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I vegged for that long. Holy crap these plants are now crowding my 3x6 closet. I used to have them in a 3x3 tent! Should have seen how twisted and snarly some of the branches were when I pulled them from the tent at about 6 weeks from seedling. Took about a week for the branches to straighten themselves out again.

Just for kicks guess my weight :)??

hill-arious. seriously though....i feel like i've given a pretty solid background and plenty of pictures of these girls, it wouldn't be completely innaccurate to guess at this point. Ganja hoarder don't be a dick.

I think youll get a pound from the slh at least. Cant say about the others. Very healthy plants!!! make sure you keep the water cool. Are you doing that?
 
Hey sorry for such a long break everyone. Here are some updated pictures, from day 37 of flowering. Super lemon haze has died :( It died after three weeks in flower...didn't make any sense, but I will live on!
















Decided to turn the flash on, i'm generally not a fan, but it turned out ok.













Aaaaaand one zoom-in of about 50% crop ratio of the headband with some levels adjusted to show the crystals

It is virtually impossible to even be in the ball park with an estimate when you are growing from seed. Even when growing clones, it still is hard because every setup/environment plays a HUGE factor. If you don't get atleast 2z's per plant, then find some new genetics.
 
Slanty, I understand...i'm just getting excited :) I thought maybe with all the pictures and all the specs someone could entertain me haha. Hey, what strain is your picture of??
