600 Watt HPS Closet Grow / Bagseed / Perpetual Harvest

Hello GC viewers, welcome to my grow thread! Everything I know about growing I have learned by reading you guys posts so big ups to everyone that does what we do, pat yourself on the back. I haven't had my computer for a long time, so I'll show all the pics I have taken with my phone to date and catch you up. I used healthy bagseeds I've been collecting from good and bad bags. Germinated in a paper towel, threw the germinated ones in a tray of peat moss cubes, and most grew. Grew the veg stage in a cabinet I build from parts accumilated from a hydro store, Wal-Mart and Home Depot. Spent a lot of wasted energy, time, and money on this cabinet, although it turned out quite well. Eventually it will hold a mother and clones. I should have vegged in the closet itself like I am currently doing for flower. Used Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil with no nutrients added during veg. Trained all plants except the tall one. Used 16 26W CFLs hung from powerstrips. Kept temps as close to 70-75 as I could. Pulling in air from outside with a 150 cfm squirrel cage, and blowing air out a carbon filter on another 150 cfm squirrel cage. 18/6 photoperiod vegging. Adding Bio Flores 2.5-2.0-5.0 organic flower nutrients and occasional Epsom salt. Everything I do to them is just what I feel, I don't know how old they are and I don't really give them a specific regimen of nutrients. I will be updating this to harvest so stay tuned for more! Mmmmm... Thats all I can think of for now, onto the pictures from sprout to current state in flower.

Had a question for the forum. Landlord stopped in yesterday and I took all the necessary steps to avoid detection in my room, however he went into the attic to fix a piece of ceiling sheetrock and noticed my ventilation ducts. It was during dark cycle, and everything was unplugged so it wasn't blowing, but he started talking about it and asking what it was. I panicked. While my roommate was talking to him, I moved all my plants under my bed so in a worse case scenario he wouldn't see my actual plants. After a little while longer, he left without further investigation, assuming it may have been an old dryer duct

My question is: will this breif interuption in photoperiod cause any problems? Because of what I'm growing, I'm worried about herms.

 

Thanks Eazy. It was probably around an hour. It hurt to throw them under their so harshly while they were sleeping. They lost a couple leaves but I felt like I had to do it.

Do you think my ferts are ok to get the most out of them? Im adding around a 20 mg dose per gallon of bio flores and epsom. The tall one has a few yellowing fan leaves at the top that I've foliar fed with a more dilluted solution that looks like it has helped marginally. A few at the bottom began to show bronze tips and drying up, thats when I started adding Epsom. Seems to have solved the problem. I'm wondering about this because they are getting a ton of light and I think they can take more nutrients.

Edit - Also, I feel like they may be getting a shortage because I'm using RO water and they may have a cal def.?

 

I think I may be a little paranoid... seem healthy to me!

Thanks for the link, it will be an essential tool in the future.

I will take some better pictures with a real camera tonight.

 

I dont have the cable for the camera, but a snapped a few more with my phone. Will update tomorrow.

Thanks cannabiskid.

Not counting my chickens before they hatch, but what kind of dry weight can I expect from these four plants?

 

Thanks Doindia!
