 Bubba Skunk Clones - Round 2 (An Inverted Indoor Production with 250w HPS + 170w CFL in Soil)

Well I'll keep it short to start, since this run is very similar to my last, minus the scrog and substitute FIM + Supercropping.
Lighting- 250w HPS and 170w of CFL's.
Genetics- 4x Clones, f1 Bubba Kush x Super Skunk.
Soil- I'm using Fox Farm's Ocean Forest soil in 2 Gallon square-ish containers.
Nutrients- Veg, I am using GH FloraNova Grow (1 tbsp/gal every 10 days) and Neptune's Harvest Organic Fish and Seaweed Fertilizer (1 tbsp/gal every watering). Flowering, I am using GH FloraNova Bloom (1 tbsp/gal every 10 days)
Cab + Ventilation- I built a custom 2'x2'x4' cabinet with built in ventilation. 2 passive intakes on the bottom-sides and a 130CFM PC fan pulling the air through and out of the box. I have a 70CFM PC fan circulating air at canopy level. The inside is painted with 3 coats of Kilz 2, Sealer/Primer with white pigment.
These clones were taken from plants that were 4 weeks into flower, then revegetated for approximately 1 month. They were FIM'd in essence because of the re-veg. I supercropped them, directing all of the branches toward the outside in a circle, opening up the middle to fill in while keeping the canopy nearly as even as a Scrog. Tomorrow is day 1 of flowering! 
Well here's what you were probably waiting for...
The seedlings are a part of my outdoor grow, oops they aren't a part of this but oh well they were uploaded with this batch so I'll just leave them.

Day 8 of Flowering
Not much going on, just water this week after the first dose of FN Bloom.
Seems like a did a better job of keeping the canopy level this round, and I used a Scrog last time lol. I did some tying down and a lot of supercropping.

Inverted, Iam interested in knowing what spectrum of CFL you're using during your grow.
With your ventilation, you're saying you use just one outtake fan and then a PC fan blowing at canopy level? Where is the outtake fan located in the box?
Thanks for sharing the pics. This is similar to my setup but much more efficient. ~P~
I use 3,000k and 2,700k, Veg through flower with no ill effects... 
Yes, the outtake fan is the 130 CFM fan, and the circulation fan is like 70-90. The fan is 3/4 from the top, at the back, on the inside wall.

Hitch a flight to the states and then we'll talk 
I'm sorry I just couldn't wait to take a picture. 
They are flowering so fast I'm so stoked about that. It can only mean I didn't make any mistakes in this run so far. That's the first time that has happened to me in 10 years. Niiiiice. Taking lots of clones tomorrow to clear out the undergrowth for circulation and prioritizing the growth hormones. I've had to raise the lights and water every 3 days, which is 1-2 days faster than my last run. I'm very happy with the results. I'm about to up the HPS wattage in my arsenal to 550w in the next week or so. I expect adding a 250w HPS will make my buds swell quite a bit more, and I'm leaving the 150w of CFL's in there so 400w total. Life is goooood.

Mission success! I'm now running 400+ Watts in there, should make the yield increase a little bit I would assume...
The picture on the far right seems to show the trichome coverage the best. I am very impressed with this strain after getting to know her a little bit. Stinky as all hell already.
Here's the goods... Day 18

I know, there is literally no room left. I went through and cleared out the bottom half of the plants. I took a couple pictures and gave you a before and after shot of one of the plants, and the pile of branches I removed. Hopefully they fill out a little better now and get much better circulation. It was overdue...

Day 27
Not much to say I guess. Temperatures are right around 72 at the canopy so long as that fan keeps working that blows right down the bulb towards the exhaust fan. I think I should raise the light another inch or two, it's currently about 5 inches from the canopy at the closest point, and I see some pistils are being fried and I don't want to fuck up the bud structure so I'm going to back it off, everything seems to be flowering just on time.  Ummm what else... I am using a dehumidifier in the room to keep it around 50%, these buds are really packing a lot of calyx and will be very dense so I do not want to chance any mold on these sexy ladies. Now that it's the start of the 5th week that means I will start supplementing Cha-Ching in with my FN Bloom feedings, and I will also begin adding molasses to my watering/feedings. They all get their first doses tomorrow, I'm excited to see them really bulk up now. The average size of every cola is noticeably larger this run than last. = more yield.

Day 35
They are going to have some fat colas on them this time I'm thinking ~30g's/Plant. Gave them another feeding of 1/4 tsp Cha-Ching and 1/2 Tbsp FN Bloom. I'm going to flush next watering, then one more feeding, then flush for the remainder. I think harvest will be in 21-24 days...
I took them outside to water so I don't make a mess inside.
    
Edit: A couple more in their home for good measure.

Figured I would take some pictures while I watered and fed with FN Bloom, Cha-Ching, and Botanicare Sweet Berry.
Can't wait for 12-14 more days to go by!!!!! Day 41

Exactly!
So tonight I got a little spark in me and decided it was time to re-setup my veg box. I used to use 30 and 42 watt cfl's in a 2x2x3.5' box, but I have an extra 150 to use now so I set it up in there and cleaned the box out, it's ready to veg! I mentioned I fed and gave them Botanicare Sweet Berry... Well my room smelled literlly twice as strong today as it did yesterday, and they smelled like berries before, but now... it's just overwhelmingly awesome. I'm very satisfied w/ the product after only 2 days...
The 2nd to last picture is my favorite. Came out super clear, even though it's HPS lighting it still looks like a good picture. I'll get better macros closer to harvest.

Day 45
I put a brand new HPS bulb in and holy shit did it make a massive difference. I can't even look at it anymore, and the heat coming off is much more intense. That's gonna be nice for the last 2 weeks of plumping. I am scared that branches are going to snap, they are already having trouble supporting themselves if I take them out of the box. 
    
The pistils literally seemed to have switched like a light bulb. Just days ago there were about 30% orange, and now today 2 of the plants are looking to be at about 70-80% orange. I still don't think the trichs are ready yet though so I'm still going to give them another 10+ days.

Day 51
This run has literally blown me away. They are even putting on a nice purple hue! Not making any mistakes really paid off, and using a 250w along with 170w of CFL in the corner has allowed me to have equally dense buds directly under the HID as well as under the fluoros in the corners. I am pretty sure I will yield ~1oz. per plant on average. My GPW will be shit again, but I really don't think I can get it any higher unless I switched over to a commercial strain. I have been flushing for a few days, using Botanicare Berry Sweet to amp up the aromas, which it definitely does do, and well I may add. I'm not too sure on the trichome maturity, I need to put it under the scope today and figure it out, because 2 plants have 80+% red hairs but I have a feeling they are still mostly clear. Well enough blathering, here's some eye candy for ya!

Thank you all so much!!! It makes me so happy to see replies like these every time I visit for an update! 
I cut one down. It is day 53 and I wanted some smoke, it was ready, so check and mate I think I got around 25 grams from that little lady (15 inches tall BTW)
     
  
Stay tuned for the final harvest, it should be in within a week.

Thank you guys! Sorry I haven't been so prompt, I have been very stoned lately which I'm sure you can understand.
Ok well the weights go like this:
35g
26g
30g
40g
So I ended up with 130 grams total, which is about what I expected so I'm really pleased, not to mention the quality is bar none. I made some bubble from the trim last night and ended up with about 3.5 grams, and 2.5 grams of it is the best grades combined.
I'm a happy camper.
     
I had a staggered harvest so I don't have a photo of everything at once but I have a good chunk.
