Greetings all,and thanks to CLW for this feedback program.I use 1 400 w. SS in a 4x4x9 closet of the spare bedroom.I'm using sunshine mix #4 advanced as soil and Technaflora nutrients.I exhaust the room with a carbon filter on a 4" HydroFarm fan,and circulate air with 2 4" fans and 2 humidifiers.I just switched to 12/12 photo period for 4 clones of white widow.Also,I FIM the tops 5 days before flower started.
I hope you know that the SS400 isn't enough light for a full 4x4 space if you want top-shelf results so I hope you switched to 12/12 while they were short and you're only using part of it..

No Sister,I won't be using the entire 4x4 because the door opens inward,so I need to save some space for it.It's more like a 2x3 space and I think I let them get alittle tall before switching to flower.Here are some pics.I'll try using a flash next time.
You'll like the results better in a 2x3 space, with that light, than you would have with the whole 4x4.

The 4 clones are showing no signs of stress after FIMing and transplanting last week.All seems good except the flower room seems alittle warm,so I added a small clip-on 4" fan which helps alittle bit.So far, I'm pleased with the SS 400,but the real test will come in acoupla months.

Greetings all, I did a neem routine 3 days ago just as a preventative measure.Had to raise the SS 400 up afew inches to keep the 18-24 inch buffer zone.All looks good as we enter day 14.Humid/temp numbers remain consistantly at 53/78.I'm glad I got the room temp down alittle. The SS400 puts out abit more heat than I first thought.I'll try to send photos again,as the first time was aborted. cheers
Check it out, Day 18 of flower and all looks good.Have completed several neem treatments and so far the girls seem to like it.I added another 6" clip on fan nand that makes 3 six inch clip on fans plus a 4 " inline fan venting carbon scrubbed air.Temp. and humid. stays around 72-81 degrees and 40-60 % humid.Here are some fuzzy heads showing.So far,so good (fingers crossed). ahuiho
DAY 26 of flower and a bunch of fuzzy heads have appeared and all looks good. Did another neem treatment on the 3rd after I saw a drowzy mite with my loop.Also I lollypopped again (last time) to improve circulation and upper limb growth.50%-60% Humidity and 75-84 degree temp.remains constant.I have no CO2 system except for venting in clean,filtered air from outside.Do you think that will be enough?I'm very careful not to over water.Be Happy
