damn..it's like your in my brain...mr.head..

that is the same thing i'm trying to set up,and am wondering how the Drippers will handle the tea.i may just leave the filter on the pump,gravity sound good to.
i was thinking 2 drippers per pot(2gal hr)..i really want a constant slow drip.

Thing is I think this is because of -

1.Heat my temps normally hover at 77-78 day and 65 or so night and lately even with a/c running its all I can do to keep her 80-82 but the real problem is the night is just as hot.

2. I got a little over zealous with the lighting and at one point she was maybe 8-10 inches from the 6hundo. backed everything up to around 16inches about a week ago.

ok just took some pics real quick & do not feel like going through them to fix em up so here is a giant pic dump of the puff at day 54 of 12/12...looks like gonna take her around 70.

so long as the smoke is decent I will hold on to her untill I can run it again a couple times different conditions and see what I can make her do. DSCN0321.JPG DSCN0323.JPG DSCN0325.JPG DSCN0326.JPG DSCN0327.JPG DSCN0328.JPG DSCN0329.JPG DSCN0330.JPG DSCN0332.JPG

oh problem #3 haha in a 2 gallon smart pot.

gonna run her in a 3 or 5 next time.

all in all I would say she is definitely stable considering and is looking like a nice smoke but all that doesn't matter untill I smoke her..still have yet to find any male bits.

BTW. That dirtbag urban should really clean his bong!

that's the only thing i really see,yea them temps are high...but she still looks like a very content plant,i just think the buds wanted a lil more room to fill out,which i think would've help with the hottness at night(a lot more cool medium)....just thinking..

Gen, Head, run your teas through a 80 micron bubble bag and the drippers will handle fine... Filter it when done and all should be good :)

That makes a lot of sense gen. The fact that she isn't showing rootbound made me not consider that more medium would mean more coolness at the rootzone.

sometimes I fail to miss such obvious things that others it's just common sense.

I think if you examine stems and compare buds, a lot will come to light... My personal feeling is a little too many secondary ramial shoots. They are the branches coming off the branches. I observed even with my outdoor that no matter how much light or food, they just suck energy. When training like we do, there is a LOT of them, they form the main bulk. Watch the stems, you will see sets of clearly WAY thinner stems, those are the energy suckers. Some types take a run or two to get to know. I think you are going to have to focus on where to trim to dial her in 100 percent.

This is just theory, totally anecdotal from personal experience.

OK I had a really good look on a better screen now. From the first pic, I can count nine shoots I would have removed. At a rough count and keeping in mind I am missing many, I counted 13 bud-bearing shoots. If you look at the top view, I would say about 7 healthy colas are on that plant.

Ideally, those 7 colas should have been the only 'branches' on this plant. Unless you have severe PAR, one of the reasons I am considering LED now, I have seen how many more fat shoots enough LED can grow... Either that or a whole stack of HPS... This guy on BreedBay stacked 9 HPS fixtures into an 8x8 tent. In that case, every shoot is pretty fat, you should see that flower room OMG.

But anyway, compare profile view to top view, keeping in mind the shoot-count, you will see exactly how much bud is shaded quite badly. What happens is the buds in good light supply the energy for the shaded buds to grow, so neither perform well. A plant really suffers on yields this way. I also learned the hard way.

Me and you running layman's rigs not involving many thousands of watts, efficiency is everything. Basically, a bushy type that gets topped tends to waste a lot as it keeps bushing out. Remember the real goal is more main colas, not more shoots overall.

I really feel dialing her in is going to be a cinch. It is really going to be all about those shoots. This is what Gen meant with 'buds needed more room to fill out', each branch should look like a plant spaced close to another plant (branch), spacing is similar to a tight SoG. I opened up my Cornerstone a bit last night, I will try get some good pics for you at lights on...

I agree Ham. Usually I am a little scary when it comes to cleaning a plant up right especially a 1st run.

now that I know she has no stability issues i will be a little quicker to do as you and gen suggested.

A gracious grower just gifted me an entire pack of the D-Cure I had been eyeballing hard...so to that person THANK YOU much appreciated. May karma be tilted in your favor.

The cutting of puff I have is now mainlined for 4 so I will strip her but naked except those mains and see what she can do..may even wait a couple months untill the worst of this heat dies down so I can completely eliminate that variable.
