have 8 sour diesel clones I vegged them for about 4 weeks (bought them as clones on Aug 9th) put them in 5 gal. pots. they are under 1000w hps for 12 light and 12 dark. i water them every other day i use about 3 gallons of water and disperse the 2 gallons evenly through the 8 plants. i am using foxfarm oceans forest with worm castings mixed soil. I am using foxfarm nutes: grow big, big bloom, & tiger bloom, i just started using all three of the nutes 6 days into flowering, because i wanted to flush. they are in a 5ft x 5ft x 6ft grow hut with reflective foiling (not white walls). Temp is constantly 73F TO 77F during light hours and dark hours goes to about 68F (ac unit), pH is always 6.3-6.1. Any tip/hints would be very helpful! i have osculating fans and two 6in. inline exhaust (YOU CAN ONLY SEE 1 INLINE IN THE PICS) the other inline is attached to the other end of the duct spitting the hot air out of the window. inline exhaust fans and a carbon filter. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK SO FAR??? ANY TIPS OR HINT WOULD HELP ALOT! IM A 1ST TIMER. anything you would do different? ps. THEY are really STINKY! already

They are about 27 1/2in tall. is that normal?? 1 of them is 29in.

Nute dosses: tiger bloom=1 tsp/gal
Big Bloom=1-2 tbs/gal

*I USE NUTES WITH EVERY WATERING, IS THAT OK?

*I HAVE NEVER CHECKED MY PPM...IS THAT NOT SMART? HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHECK IT?

Are you watering every other day because the plants need it, or just watering every other day? I'd think a 5 gallon planter might not need that much, especially with your relatively low-side temps. Are you using some kind of moisture meter?

I don't use FF, so can't comment there. Your grow looks real good.
 
Yea your watering technques are a little off

You want to "soak" the plants every 3-5 days with 2 gallons of water with those big pots

My plants are exactly the same time as flower as yours, they eat up two gallons every three days also in 5 gallon buckets, there monsters though

Your grow looks dank, nice job, +rep, i have always wanted to grow sour diesel.
 
And dont worry about height, my plants are around 50-60 in tall :mrgreen::mrgreen:

oo yea, and just to compare nute doses

I nute every watering

1TBS Tiger Bloom
1TBS Grow Big
 
They shouldn't stretch much more, the first 2-4 weeks of flowering is when they usually do the most stretching. The buds should just be getting fatter from here on out
 
oh ok dam.....so in the future how do i get them to grow taller?? because
obviously i want more bud...... I barely used nutes when i was vegging....could that be why?
 
Yea, a good nute schedule while in veg will help a plant become stronger, therefor bigger, therefor bigger buds
 
I think folks support their lesser sized branches with ties and stuff after a bad stretch, which would allow for larger buds. Stronger wood supports bigger weight.
 
thanks guys..... I really would like to know how i can end up with a 3 footers or even 4 footers ???? mine are about 28 inches (give or take a half inch).....
