Hey guys, I have 4 white widow plants growing a 3'x3'x8' closet with 400 watt hps, fox farm soil and nutes. The plants are 5 days into flower and are 30" above soil already. Am I gonna run out of room? What can I do to keep em from busting thru the ceiling? Thx
pics help, but yea it's prob gonna be tight as fuck, you may want to end up trimming most of the lower branches off to keep it from getting bushy at the bottom and wasting plant energy for buds that aren't going to get any light once the plants bush up, the canopy is going to stop most of that light from getting through, esp in that small an area with 4 plants, you could always take clones aroudn day 21 from all around the bottom and then trim off any other small branches that don't seem to be fattening up as nicely as the rest of the plant
I flipped my light to 12/12 when my WW was 12" tall. It's now 36 1/2" tall. So it's tripled. Unless you wanted them that tall which it don't sound like you did, obviously you waited too long to go into flower. Cause if they do what mine did, they are going to prob at least double and maybe triple in height. I don't know how tall the WW can get. So man I don't know what to tell you. Maybe someone will come along and offer up some other good suggestions for you. Good luck with those monsters.
They vegitated for 30 days, then showed pistals, put into 12/12. I'm new to this and don't want to screw up. I've heard about tieing down the tops, arrrgh, I don't know.
