First Time Grow - Walk In Closet

Hey guys sorry for the absence it's been an extremely busy week but I have an update and some photos for you guys. Everything has been going great all my babies seem to be flourishing :). Number 2 has absolutely exploded since she got topped. Number 3 and 4 are growing great too. As well as the 2 little ones. Number 1 has kinda turned into my little experiment with lst and what not. This one is just growing so strange. But none the less I'm having a lot of fun with that one. I've got the first 4 in 13 inch pots now which will likely be their final home. They have now been in veg for 31 days so I'm thinking maybe another 2 weeks or so then switch them to 12/12. Idk though because there all approaching 12" except the little 2. Anyway these are pictures of 1 and 2 today from when I watered them :) those too I've also bumped up to 50% dosage of ionic grow as well

Hey guys question for ya today. I'm thinking about making another room so that I can switch 2 of the babies to flowering in the next week or so. In the flower room I wanna put 1 1000 W HPS which I have the bulb and hood already but the plug in is not a standard plug. I've included some pictures. Can anybody tell me if I can plug this into a standard outlet? What do I need to make that happen?

You plug that plug into a ballast Yeeze. You need a ballast to run that 1000 watt light brother
 
Is that something I can get at my local grow store? And after I get the ballast is it ok to plug into a standard outlet?
 
Hey noob do you think they would have a ballast for that fixture at lowes or menards? I checked my local grow store yesterday and they closed down :(
 
So I got my ballast in on Friday and finally got it setup with the light so as of today my babies are starting to flower. 8 weeks for the original 4 in veg and 6 weeks for the little pair. This is the first night they have been on so I've been monitoring temps frequently. The light has been on for 5 hours now and the temp has risen from 71.2 to 78.2. I'm going to sleep now so well see how warm it gets before 7am. I need to figure out a better system to ventilate the heat as I don't have an air cooled hood. The closet does have a duct that goes to the basement though. Any cost effective ideas for ventilation?

Stick an exhaust fan in that duct. You should have them sucking in fresh air from somewhere and assuming it's just going to be breathing room air in a closet make sure your window stays open as possible with a fan helping air intaking fresh air if possible too. Nice job with tht 1000 water shits going to really explode now!
 
A week into flower today boys and everything is looking good. All but 1 plant is already showing female signs! :) I'll post some pics for you guys tonight when the lights come on :)
 
Temps were a little speratic going from about 60 when the lights first turned on to a high of about 80 - 83 when they're on. But I installed the exhaust fan yesterday and last night when the lights were on the temps didn't get above 76.2 which is right about ideal isn't it? Everything I've read has said somewhere around 75-80 is ideal and as long as it doesn't get above 85 you're ok? And I'm sorry for the delay on the pics lol they'll be up for ya tonight I forgot to takes pics yesterday :)
 
What are your guys thoughts on flowering time? Obviously it varies by strain but how long do you think till they're in the harvesting window? Also how big is that window? Just looking for some ballpark estimates
 
75 degrees and 30-50 humidity and your looking at some happy ladies regardless of regimen, gunna be a nice show. The red/purpling showing on some of the leaves stems means more food. Strain dependent on flowering time. I would say 60-70 for an indica and 65-75 for sativa but I like to let their be a lot of Amber crystals, some people cut early at first sign of Amber crystals 7-8 weeks depends on strains and what type of smoke u want with the color crystals it has on it. Sorry what strains here?
 
No idea to be honest. They were just random seeds thrown into a house plant tht sprouted. From what I can tell there is at least 3 different strains. Maybe 4. Do you mean more food as in more nutes? Or the same ratio just watering them more? Right now I'm at 50% of the labels dosage using ionic bloom. I also have ionic pk booster has anyone heard of this or used it? Not sure how to use it. Haven't been able to find much on it online. Do you use it with the bloom? How much dosage for that? Should I do it now or wait till the last few weeks of flower? Sorry so many questions but trying to end up with the best finished product as possible. Thanks in advance guys much appreciate al you're input.
