I wish I would have seen this a few weeks ago you should have flowered them a long time ago.. You could have kept 4 of them.. I think your going to have a hard time with just those 2 plants (I would get rid of #3).. Your plants are real healthy and they're going to easily double or triple in size in just the next 3 weeks.. I'm not joking I would start flowering TODAY! 
Subbed, +rep
Excellent job so far, I just read through your journal.. You've obviously done your research, nice to see the new growers around here are doing that.. I was getting to page 4 and I was thinking man put these mother fuckers to flower already! Kept going through each page and you still haven't
Since your doing so well you should consider doing a plant or two in a DWC grow, you would do well and you would be blown away by the root development, growth, and yield. and it's so freaking simple! I think way easier then soil
Subscribing.. Great grow GreenFinger! Read your entire thread while having my morning coffee.. great info in here..
Thanks for joining in teSmp I am grateful for the encouragement
It was at about that stage I wanted to switch to flower too but I was having way too much problems with heat, the carbon filter and inline fan were installed and the problem was fixed, this was with 3 lights, I wanted 5 but I only managed to get the temps steady with 3 of them so the extra 2 would have just brought things back to the old high temps
In my mind this meant that I could not continue with the CFLs as multiples of 125 watts just get way too hot.
I then decided that my next move would be a 250w HPS with a cooltube, I would be using half the power with way better results with further light penetration and I felt that the heat could be managed much better.
Over a week (about 11 days) ago I ordered the 250w bulb which is 33000 lumens and 55000 lumens at 6'' away I tried to find the most powerful one that i could, I am still waiting on it to arrive from germany
In the mean time I have purchased the Ballast and the cooltube and they are just sitting there teasing me until the bulb arrives ha ha
All this waiting is what has made my plants so big ha ha but as soon as that bulb arrives ill be switching to 12/12
I will have to look more into a DWC grow, I'll start researching now ha ha
I have a huge amount of experience just growing plants in general ( not MJ ) but everything else, in soil ha ha
I wanted to transfer all this knowledge to my first grow in soil as this is what I have experience with but it would definitely be considered for the next grow
I appreciate your input and thanks for voting
Glad to have you on board
Peace
How come you ordered it form Germany? Awesome choice! I can tell you've had experience growing, it shows! DWC is so easy as well! Growth, yield, etc are to far greater for me to ever really use soil again.. It doesn't interest me in any way.. You'll need to get your chamber temps in line though before you try DWC!
I'm glad you stepped it up to the 250w HPS with cool tube you shouldn't have any problems with heat with that new set up
) for this 250w HPS to arrive so that I can switch to 12 / 12
ha ha. This also saves the effort of having a screen in the way, so pots can be easily rotated to get an even distribution of light and every top can be easily manipulated. A piece of cotton wool makes good padding between the branches and the wires.
ha ha the pot is 1 foot high for comparison.
Maybe you should just switch to 12/12 without your bulb, it won't really hurt anything?? Just expect them to at least double by the time flowering is done, will you have room for that?
