man thats a very nice collection of dense buds you have there
once you start some feminized seeds, some clones, or use a bag to sex you will be good to go; your setup is working very well

Ladybugs are everywhere, just like my small jungle these ladybugs are out of control. At least this way i'm pretty sure there aren't any soft bodied pests left, and as much as their mating should clean up anything in the soil as well. Fed 4.5gal into 6 pots. 10ml/gal Tiger Bloom, 6ml/gal Big Bloom, 2ml/gal Cal-Mag, 2tsp molasses. ph'd to 6.3-6.4

Introduced some ladybugs into the tent as a early flowering precaution against possible pest infestations. Didn't know, but the ladybugs will lay eggs and if i recycle some old soil into new soil, will have my own ladybugs next grow, and the lartvae and pupa eat soil borne pest larvae

Just Pictures, too many? oh well. also reversing my comments latest first.
Jan 30, 2018:
Just picture update. Will be feeding tonight after lights on. Will be watering with closer to a gallon per plant. This seems crazy to me, with my limited defoliation the lights don't dry out the soil at all, some water loss due to he fabric bags, but I think the plants are sucking up most of it.
Jan 29, 2018:
Fed at lights on last night. runoff was at 400ppm and was noticing some loss in vibrant green. Upped this feeding to 10ml/gal Tiger Bloom, 10ml/gal Big Bloom, 2ml/gal Cal-Mag, 2tsp. molasses, ph'd to 6.2-6.4. No more defoliation until i notice blocked major nodes. Ive noticed that since i haven't been able to move the plants around, the plant seems to know how to grow the lower nodes to find the light patches.
Jan 28, 2018:
Ordered some ladybugs to do some pest prevention, decided to give myself the best chance to have a pest free remainder of this flower cycle. This threat is increased in my situation as my tent is really full and I performed minimal defoliation. So far the below canopy circulation fan is keeping things aired out, soil top is mold/mildew free. I think the stretch is on the downward slide, less than 1" per day now. I'm more worried about light intensity than heat with the tops getting close to the light.

Grow Questions
TheMachiniststarted grow question 6 years ago
Wish my issue had a category lol. All my buds have been seeded to some extent and therefore will effect how the buds ripen. I want to know how much seeding alters my harvest timeline, and can I still look at trich's for bud ripeness as the pistils are orange with clear trich's.

Your buds will take a little longer and I think it gives a distinct change in taste, but maybe that is just me. Obviously the THC content will be lower. It kinda depends how much it got pollinated too, like was it pollinated by a rogue male growing a mile away or a male a foot away. Good luck anyway. I'll follow see how you get on. Peace

@Jaindoh, I'd love to eventually do some homebrew seeding, for now these seeds will have super unstable parents, might keep em to do some free range outdoor growing. Next grow will be Nirvana genetics that I might keep any male pollen.
Appreciate the compliment on the setup, it's a work in progress π

Sounds interesting here.
Blasting young plants with a 1000w light is not really the best thing to do. You shall wait a bit more.
You might need to ScrOG your plants to fill up all the light coverage with 6 plants , technically youβre gonna grow 166,66W plants (Iβm growing 100W plants if it can help to get an idea).
Personally, I think that 1000W light is way too much for this size of tent.
Itβs gonna be tough to fit 6 monsters inside your tent bro , to get 1gr./W.
You shall Veg at 400W and Bloom at 600W. 6 100W plants will be more reasonable for this size of tent . And you be able to reech those 1gr./W more easier.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Luckily for me I don't have to grow in my house or garage. it's a pretty well insulated little building. It really surprised me how much more heat 1000w puts out vs 600W. Might just be an indicator of how inefficient my grow light ballast/lamp setup is haha. I have a wall mounted radiant heater that heats the room no problem, but being my first grow I wanted to see what dealing with 1000W in a 4x4 would look like. I think as it gets warmer out i'll have to dim down to 750W or 600W to deal with the heat. Intake temp of my fixture is 15F exhaust vent is pushing out 72F air.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS,
It's getting into the single digit F where I live and that means either I turn the light up or use more heaters haha. I appreciate the advice π

@bobo420, thank you! judging by the stem swing (I grab the stem lower down and gently swing the top back and forth and have been doing it since start of flower) the tops are getting decently heavy.

We are almost using the same set up. The nutrients and the light wattage. I think things are looking great!!! My lights keep the temp in the tent perfect for them. Cant wait to see your end result!

@TheMachinist, Yes! I absolutely love my High Pressure Sodium light. I started the grow with a LED light from amazon and was not impressed at all. So i got a new 1000 watt HPS bulb for my girls and they exploded in growth. I honestly dont think you can give them too much light.. You can deff burn them and get them too close to the light. However you have to listen to your plants and see what they say. I might considering getting a metal halide bulb for the veg period but the high pressure sodium has impressed me on so many levels. I actually hang my HPS pretty low for the majority of the grow just in my last few weeks of flowering i lifted her to the highest position. I also run a T5 along side her for the smaller girls i start. I do a staggered grow so i have girls at all stages at all times.

@wheedtobeus420, Thank you very much! Do you plan on vegging next time with the HID? If you can afford the power, I recommend using HID lights for veg, I have nothing to compare to personally, but just by looking at journals on GD here I would say the HID in veg was a big help. It seems silly to have such small plants and such high amounts of lights, but I would rather give too much than too little, by keeping the light high up in the tent I let the plants grow to the light and I think it worked out well.
