Hi all, I'm about 32 days from seed in my first grow. We've got a 600w mh conversion bulb that's running 18/6 right now, and has been since the 12th of January. We have a 600 HPS that will be put in for flower.

Dimensions are 3'X4'. (plant area, we haven't blocked off the open side, but the plants sit in a 12 ft. sq area) This is about 50w per sq ft.

Temps are 72-76 with the lights on and 64-68 with them off.

Soil is 2/3 FF Happy Frog and 1/3 FFOF

No ferts as of yet, but they're standing at the ready. (GH's organic Bio Thrive set)

Tallest plant is 10'' and shortest is 7''. We plan to flower when they're all at an average of 12''. (the two lanky bastards in the middle row were started a week early, so they don't fit into the equation)

Sooo, looking good? Any blatant mistakes that I haven't been noticing? Everything look like it's on the right track?

I feel good about everything, but it's my first go so I appreciate any advice/criticism.

Thanks! :biggrin:

Almost forgot, they're all bagseed. It's a mix of blackberry kush, afghani, passionfruit, (grapefruitxburmese) and an unknown from Oct. 2008. I'd tell you which is which, but my partner in legal weed growing labeled the buckets and moved them around. So they're separated, I just don't know how lol, the more sativa looking ones are more than likely the Passionfruit.

Thanks man, I think I might keep my hands to myself on this grow though. It's been so much fun getting to know the life-cycle that I kind of want to watch them go the natural way, and try topping or lst on my next run.

If, hypothetically, I was going to top them, would it be too late if we're planning on flowering within the next 5 days? (They're bigger than they look in the pics, the pics are from Saturday)

Nix that, I just conferred with my comrade and she's down with topping all of the taller ones and waiting an extra week or so to flower. This way we should also have a more even canopy.

Thanks guys! Any more advice is appreciated!
