only 3 gallons to finish huh? with jack, I woulda gone 5 gallon buckets minimum. jack can be a really good yielder, especially in larger pots. in a smaller pot, you may have to feed her more heavily and more often, thus creating more work for yourselves.

Hey dere Whodair........You got the light down low ta try and control stretch at 8 days flower ?......
Gotta love what bare bulbs can do given the proper environment and sq ftg........
Think about closin em off next run with some type of reflective curtain with proper airflow so as ta not waste the light gettin past the plants and reflect it back into the canopy.....IOW...concentrate the lumens per sq ft for optimum plant useage and results IME......
Lotta folks runnin vertical setups clear out the backs of the plants to divert energy to the fronts where the lumens are brightest .......
Your plants are lanky with way stretched out internode length and they`re in the stretch cycle as we speak and will get taller from what it looks like.......
A single bare 600 will only cover a small amount of proper wattage per sq ft sideways with not much focused down at all , so think about doin some thinning out and pickin out which limbs you wanna save and make colas.......
Good luck and hope all goes well Bro.......DHF........

DHF homie,
yes they are very strecthy, though ive seen worse !! and veggin under hps prolly gave some extra length as well...
when we 1st put the plants around the bulb, it was so bright you could barely enter the room...
two weeks later and the plants were shading the room much more nicely...
next time i snap some pics, i hope the bulb is hidden behind a wall of green !!!

on for the ride
they are loving all that light...i lent the grower my 600 lumatek/hortilux new in the box...i never really used it !!
me and you both, enjoy !!
good question about yield...the growers 1st real crop under hps, but shes quite a gardener and has a gentle approach to watering and feeding schedule (as opposed to an indica maniac like myself!!)
but lets say 7 females from seed, minimum of 1.5 oz per plant, 10.5-14 oz ?? can a 1st time grower hit the gram per watt ?? i will remain modest with any predictions but have faith in the bare bulb !!
Looks like I'm just in time. 
DHF gives good advice.... all great suggestions.
I'm a few days behind you on my latest run, and I'm just waiting for the perfect time to hack away at a couple hundred fan leaves and all those small limbs that will only add up to popcorn.
After every vert "bush" grow I've done, I always wish I'd have hacked more. I'm gonna be very aggressive with it this round and see how it goes.
Good Luck. Tagged.

Prune some of those shoots on the backsides and the scraggly lower shoots... You don't want the plants to waste energy on branches that will just be popcorn, it will hurt the overall yield and quality.
I learned that the hard way lol.

marlo you inspired my 2 x 430w vertical, which inspired this 600 vert ... im big into pruning too !!
i agree !! i love to shave the legs on my girls !! this grower is more inclined to let them take a natural shape on this first run from seed. but i'll take lower branches off every chance i get !!
quality and quantity is our goal !! thank you !!
