fantastic 1st grow! You went all out with great strains, i'd love see some of mine bulk up like that. Judging by the leaf colors, you've obviously been flushing.

cant wait to hear the total dry oz's.

keep up the good work.

btw, how do you shield your eyes from the lights? Always scares me about verticals..

yeah thanks ive got a good amount of experience from helping out security first with his rooms this is my actual first grow though finally! i had a lot of help from, security first, as well on this grow i hand water i think its the way to go always reliable every plant gets what it needs unless you got a real nice drip system...

You need a bigger pot for those gals. Great grow, just looks like you could have gotten more from a bigger container, they looked like they reached the highest potential that container could give them. 5 thousdand watts for those gals should be atleast in 5 gallons

im hoping to yield 8-9 lbs we will see though, i know i wish they were in bigger pots they could use the extra space but they still filled out nicely i was just to lazy to transplant haha

Thats funny you mention security first helped set up your room because upon looking at the pics I was telling myself hmm this room setup looks very familiar. Nice Job keep on rocking in the free world!

after reading and studying heaths grow..i dont really see the need for all that light. With heath pullling on average 1.53grams per 600 dried thats roughly 2lbs from each 600 without co2. your buds are beautiful...but maybe something to think about?
