Incredible size and growth for autos... Wow.

How large is the plant canopy space? 2'5? A 600w isn't really necessary. Why don't you try getting a metal halide conversion bulb instead? I guaruntee that would do more for you than extra wattage. Your 400-watt is probably filling out the room nicely. 600w upgrade might be in your list of...

Dude I can't even imagine trimming those monsters!

I would also say about 4 weeks min, and thats assuming that they are indica's. But they aren't. So it could be another 8 weeks if it were a haze or heavily sativa geno, which it looks like they are.

Wow... Can I come over? Do you have any information on the Purple Pineberry strain? I've never heard of it, and after seeing your monsters i'm quite interested.

Heres my exact reccomendation: 9 42w CFL's total. 6 Warm white, 2700k temp. 3 Cool white, 5600k or 6000k. Position 2 warms and 1 cool around each plant throughout veg. The cools over top, and the warms on either side of the plants. Assuming you have one male after flower, you're now...

So... what happened? I'm assuming something big... any follow up?

Yea start pruning even more into late flowering. Prune off an leaves to allow buds to grasp more light and ripen up.

Never grown Cinderella 99, but i've watched my buddy grow purple cindy, which is some oregon purple strain x chocolate thai x cindy 99 or some ridiculous pedigree, i forgot. It was one of the bombest strains ever.

I've been researching so much on UV light recently, I think i'm starting to glow myself a little bit. Turns out you were right. THC is converted from CBD. Its converted further, although not catalyzed by UV light, into CBN, which is the amber that happens towards the end of a trichomes life.

Even more info, some people to achieve more UV light output than the reptile lights are giving get 150W halogens and remove the glass frame. From what i've read, its over 10 times as effective as one UVB 10.0 reptiglo light.

I read a very interesting article about 2 weeks ago in which growers were using UVB lamps heavily during drying and even some stages of curing to increase THC ratios. The results were impeccable, but they all came from state of the art grow ops in the first place, so their effectiveness is...

Hey puffin, not trying to start an argument here, just getting the informatinon I've read out. UVB lamps do not help the conversion of CDB - > THC, as its usually the other way around (CBD = couchlock amber). Instead, the increace production of THC and all cannabinoids within the trichome...

I'm all too impressed Puffin. Theres nothing more for me to say. However, as far as the lights go, I really do think you could benefit from a dual-light setup, especially if you can manage to get one to penetrate under the upper canopy, which will be notably harder with all those extra fan...

Very nice sir. Great recovery those made. By the time you harvest you might not notice at all :D. Are those bagseeds that you're growing?
