I was hoping for one more week of veg, this is some strain of blueberry that has been in the tent for about 3 weeks. I got them as seedlings. Should i go now? i am afraid of running out of room.

I am loving this rainforest by general hydroponics, the growth rate is like nothing i have ever seen, the stalkes are thick, the leaves are huge and the roots are out of control. I am runnning co2 in this system on a co2 controller (green air products ppm1). There are two 600w lumeteks on daystar AC hoods on a can fan 6HO. The Can Filter 66 is running on a can fan 8HO in recirc mode. The one dissapointment is the seceret jardin 5x5 tent. I complained about several pinholes in the fabric on a previuos thread but now two of the corners have completely split out. Lucky my local dealer is going to take care of me and replace the tent once i am through with this cycle (duck tape is amazing stuff.

params:
Temp: 85*-87*
PH: 5.4-5.8
Light: 1200w
Nutes: advanced
Co2: 1500 ppm
Solution temp: 74* with inline chiller/heater
Tent: 5x5 seceret jardin
System Controller: Neptune aquacontroller III
Auto top off: electric switch

Contrary to what you may think, the plant will continue to grow during the flower cycle. I've noticed that the plants seem to grow at night (hence the 6 off in 18/6), so, with 12 ours of night, they have a lot of time to grow. Anyway, I noticed that during the first 2 weeks of flower, before the buds appear, plants tend to gain more size (mine grew about a foot!). And then, the buds will grow, and add even MORE size to your plant, so, yeah, it looks like a very nice healthy plant (or couple, couldn't really tell), you should get at least a couple ounces.. between 2-4, depending on the strain, etc... Hope this helps!
 
there are three plants in there, and i would expect the plants to double after the 12/12 cycle, not really sure, I think i will let them go a week and trellis them if i need to towards the end.
thanks for your imput.
 
dude thats pretty fat. id start now. why do you wanna wait so badly? but i wanna ask u, i just put in a 600w and the temps are around what ur temps are, high eighties. i know you can pull it off because youre runnin co2, but u think thats too high me?
 
i want to wait because i have a ton of comapny coming over here for x mas, one more week of veg will guarentee that i will not have any smell for the company. From everything i have read here and other sources say that 85-90 is good with co2, i really have no idea but judging by the way the plants are reacting ithink these temps are working for me. If i was not running co2 then i would be concerned about the temps.
thanks for your imput.
