400 Watt Boss Hog and Northern Light Grow

I could cut some clones, that may work out best for me because I'm moving in the summer and I will have a few months in between gross then because there will be an awkward 2-3 month period where I won't be able to grow a full plant from seed... Hmm the ideas

It appears that the beginning of flowering is under way? I cant seem to tell as it is hard to find any pictures on the first two weeks of flowering.

Loving this thread, Started flowering my second grow now and I'm going to give two boss hog a try see how they come out for my third grow, started germing them today. Will definitely stick a long to see this grow.

Keep it up!

healthy looking ladies you've got there!

Thanks ottawa!

Yeah those some fine ladies there man, oh and do ladybugs eat up yo plantz/budz? and how much is a 400 watt, i think thats all i would need..

No, lady bugs are beneficial predator insects that will eat aphids and spider mites etc. They are in there for prevention, they will not touch the plants.

And a 400 watt light and ballast with lamp should run around 200 but then you must consider ventilation bc that will cost equally the same amount

Thanks everyone for the replies, I am struggling with a small nute burn still but am hoping and confident this will pass before flowering really picks up.

Good loOking crop you got there! Nice job man.

I am very glad I flowered a week earlier then expected because my plants are growing much taller then expected, and i really hope they don't go any further because my light is as far up as it can go right now. My LED light is on its way which will allow me to fully light the left side of the space and adequately light the plant that has surpassed the light, as you can see.

Unfortunately, I am struggling with some deficiencies of some sort whether from nute burn earlier on or lack of nutes lately, not quite sure yet. But I have hopes they will pull through. Word of advice for anyone reading, don't nute earlier then needed and start off slow. Less is more.

My plants are all shootng up overnight and getting almost too tall, is there anything I can do to limit this or a way to tie them to bring them down some? They are literally almost all touching the light now

You could try to tie them down if you have the room.

im currently growing a nirvana NL too, the first two weeks of flower she stretched heaps but has slowed down now and is growing some nice flower I'm at day 31 of flower, under a 400w hps.

bend her over and tie her down before its too late.

What about super cropping the main stem?

I wouldn't crop or bend too much as you are in flower now... better to do all that training in veg stage

Yeah, I don't want to either, my worry is not about heat, as my fan pulls plenty of heat from my light, but rather in them being too close to the light if they are practically touching the top of the light, so i am just going to give it a few days and see if it comes to that.

The top left is where my LED light is going, should be here in 5 days

These ladies have grown well past double the height of the veg state, getting closer to 3x now which was unexpected.

Wow, those babies really shot up. The lower part of the plants can't possibly be getting enough light.

You might post a new thread tonight and get some advice before you execute. You know me, I won't advise unless I've done it before.

Looking back at pictures, it seems the 12/12 made them go into overdrive, they were only about 7-8 inches tall from soil at that time and now they are probably 2-3 feet with a bunch of bush in it.

Lightbulb went off the other day when I was shopping for soil for my herb garden.

First grow, I only used organic bagged soil from Home Depot. I didn't add any compost or perlite to it!!!! That's why I was having soil compaction at week 5 and had to aerate. I think the tighter soil may have reduced root growth and stretch. My next grow will have the proper ratio of soil ammendments. Then I can decide which will work better for me.

Really, 8oz from four plants is NOT a bad thing. Especially running just organic bagged soil! I'm ready to see what you end up with at harvest.
