my first time growing. it's purple kush, under 150 W HPS. any advice for this newb!

I would have vegged longer and move bump up the lights to a at least a 400 hps. Not knocking your plant, It looks like good smoke. you just could have gotten a lot more off of that one plant. Peace

No reason to go to a 400w setup. Check out the 150w hps club. They can help you with training your plants and dialing in your grow. Tons of good info there. Keep up the good work and enjoy the smoke.

you could get way more than that with your current 150. no reason to go to a 400, you arent even fully utilizing the 150. i dont know if its a small plant or a large pot, but using the door for reference id say a small plant. looks good but you can do better your next grow. i grew 5 plants like that under 70w for reference.

it's a small plant. i have a white widow and salmon creek big bud waiting to be put under 12/12. so, hopefully i'll do better.

What lights and training are you using to veg the plants?

i'm using a 125w cfl as far as training, do you mean LST? this time around, i think i am not going to do that. or should i? i have a growlab 40 with the 150w hps.

You should do whatever it takes to keep a nice even canopy. LST and scrog are two great ways to train them. Screens can be attached straight to the pot so that you can move the plants around still. 150w hps bulbs do not penetrate very deep so it will need an even canopy to start. Crops of 3 oz or more are not unheard when done right.

thanks for the advice! i think i will try scrog this time.

super cropping the way you did is a start.. i would recommend you lst and veg her out longer. let her get into a nice even bush.. and then put her into flower. for a 150w that does not penetrate nor cover a large surface area im thinking lst (or possibly scrog) will be the best options for you.

Bend them over and put a screen over them. When the side branches start growing like the tops you can fill in the screen. When the screen is almost full toss it under 12/12. Read as many thread as you can about training and go to town on those girls. Have fun.
