Lights just came on about an hour ago, I opened the door a half hour ago and I have been mesmerized by the beauty inside since! Can't stop from walking in and drooling over the ladies, the crystals all over the WW are like looking at diamonds, the Big Band now has one 12"x4" cola bud of white mass enveloped by green leaves. Big band is about 4 weeks in now??
I NEED A CAMERA!!!!!!!!

Maybe soon, Jericho, I go back to work beginning of next month!
Update and correction to the ladies in bud room:
First up, WW...she is at 53", is about a week or 10 days from harvest and WOW, she is beautiful! Looking at a half-pounder here...I can feel it! She's at around a 40% amber count.
Big Band is at 40" tall, she is shaped like a Christmas tree and has a TON of billowy white hairy bud all over her. The main cola will be MASSIVE if early growth is an indicator, she is huge now at 4 weeks of budding!
Train Wreck is the mistake I made in an earlier post, she is a nice tall 44" tall, is 32"x37" in thickness, amazing how much the side-lighting has caused her to bush out!! Some of the lower leaves are showing their tops to the side-light and not laying with top toward sky. Little budlings are just starting to form, there's gonna be a big amount on this beast!
Waiting patiently for the WW to finish so I can move a few ladies down from veg...also waiting to buy more lighting since the gals in veg will be more than the bud room can handle right now. Another 1000w ballast, an adaptor, 2 600w HPS bulbs, a vert set-up and a hood will bring the room to near completion...just in time to start the move to the bigger rooms?? LMAO Bigger rooms will have ventilation set-ups!

Update on the lighting situation...the splitter i was planning to use is made for use with SUNPULSE bulbs only...this means that it is MH only....ooops. Hydro guy says others are using it with HPS bulbs without issue, I'm not going that route.
So, looks like I'll be buying the 1000w HPS set-up and go from there...possibly a 600w HPS for body-lighting as well.
I decided on the General Organics 5 part line for nutes.

Well, was meaning to pull the vegging ladies out and clean the room up a touch, so here's pics of those:
Here's The skinny OG Kush, pic mislabeled GWS. Notice the coat hanger bending her over, I decided she needed a bit of Mommy Dearest treatment.
Training her over, she will hopefully fill out nicely and produce a better yield. I have 2 phenotypes of OG going, will be interesting to see how they turn out!
Tall and skinny, she was around 20" but has a hangover...
Here's the LSD from Barney's Farm.
Oh, isn't she a pretty little bush? Around 20" tall and 27" wide!
Huge, healthy fan leaves, this gal is really showing promise!
OG Kush, 5th week vegging, she'll be HUGE by the time room opens for her in the bud room!
Showing OG the menu!
Here's the Great White Shark, the troubled one of the group!
From the start her big fan leaves would dry up and crumble away, but she's healthy and happy regardless.
Yes, those are burns on the top leaves, the T5's will get hot when leaves are left to grow into the bulb.
She's getting better daily and will really thrive with her new line of food!
And by the by...disregard the dates on the pics, I have no clue how to set that on the camera LOL Camera took decent pics, but it took me over an hour and a half to take them, move the room around and set the light up just right so it didn't wash out the camera completely...it really is junk lmao! These are the best pics, the others were worthless!
Pics of the other gals in the veg room coming very soon have to upload and edit first and my back is now killing me! Med time!!

The problem with soooo many seeds and so little room is that you have to make choices on which to grow, the Somango is in the wings still. I think she'll be dropped soon though, maybe this round!
eta...and THANKS for the kind words everyone, I am having some great fun!

I promised pics of the veg room, I finally borrowed the good camera (or better at least lol)...so here are some new pics!
Veg closet #1, we have from left to right...LSD (Barney's Farm), GWS front center (GHS), Orange Bud center back (Dutch Passion) and OG Kush (Reserva Privada). Yes, they are a bit packed in there.
Closer view under the light, that's GWS. All of these plants are at about 26" high, the OG and LSD are about 30" wide each while the other two are more upright than bushy. Planted the OG and LSD in 10gal smart pots, the others in 5gal smart pots.
Ahhh, the baby Kandy Kush. Only one of the three to survive, one was my fault (I got impatient lol), the other was due to my cat Silly knocking over the cup one night. This gal is at around 2 weeks, is in a 5gal smart pot.
Veg closet #2 shows us the second OG Kush right (Reserva Privada), White Widow center (Dutch Passion) and Skunk #11 left (Dutch Passion). These are around 5 weeks as are all in closet #1, but watering issues kept these a bit smaller than the others. Out of picture is the KK immediate right.
Another view of closet #1 under the lights looking longways.
Closet #1 with a 5gal bucket in forefront to show size. The light on the floor is my fluorowing 125...found a use for her once again LMAO
Closet #1 looking closer...happy, green babes, they are doing well.
Now to the bud room...
Here we have the Big Band cola, this pic does absolutely nothing for it though. Not showing the heavy dusting of white sparkly goodness all over every leaf (yes, even the bigger ones save the large fans). It also shows very little of the tons of white hairs that the buds are made up of. The bud is about the height of a 2 lr nute bottle.
Bud room from the unused side looking at the gals. Big Band on the left, Train Wreck on right. Big Band is in her 5th week (if memory serves) with the TW at 3 weeks. The bell shaped light in foreground is my 400w MH, it's trained sideways a bit to throw her light at the gals.
The light behind the gals is a 400w HPS used for body lighting...I think the gals are really appreciating all that extra light!
Looking down on the Train Wreck and her tons of tiny bud formations. TW was bent over in veg and has a lot of cola-type branches shooting up! She is a nice large 52" or so tall and around 36" wide.
And last, Big Band again! She's nicely shaped like a Christmas tree, she is 40" or so (I didn't measure and am going off memory here, sorry). Her buds are bulking up nicely, should be a good yield!

THANKS Rosie!!
You know me, I like to get them nice and big lol! Currently awaiting the OG Kush and LSD from closet #1 to come of maturity so I can throw them in bud, they are getting pretty big!
I should add that there is a 1000w HPS hanging over the gals in bud room, it's out of view but shining down brightly!

How are you liking the smart pots now that you've had a chance to get to know them a little bit? Do you think 5Gal is big enough? I see you are using some 10 Gal, 10 kind of seems like overkill to me but I dunno. I just transplanted into my first 5 Gal Smart pots, just curious what to expect.

The gals in the 5gal are smaller around and more straight up than those in the 10gal...but strains are different too....except for the OG's. However, I believe I have 2 phenos here and can't compare accurately. Overall, I do think the 10gals are producing bigger plants and I will be buying more 10gals. I will be using the 5gals as starter pots and transplanting before bud to 10gals...fresh soil as well as root room.
I love the smart pots though!
