People would be surprised what plants can usually take. I split 1 at the manifold pulling it down too far then just lifted it together and tied some red flagging tape around it. 3 days later healed and knuckle created allowing more flow through
Ain't it awesome :) I use painters tape, and little piece of straw I cut a slit in half and then I'll put the straw around the broken part and tape it. The tape comes off really easy but holds well. One of the biggest plants I grew outdoor got trampled over by a deer or horse or cow and it ended up the biggest that year lol

Thanks bro! And not a problem, super crop the hell out of that glue! You're gonna love the cut, it's so hardy and grows like a beast. Make sure to always use stakes or a trellis because the limbs are pinner
Definitely lookin forward to her.....They're in 10's, organic soil, bio war bennies, so they need topping, pruning asap! lol
After these cuts, they switch to the flowering spot to stretch out. ATB!

I'm not very good with bug information bro, I've only had mites a handful of times but never had it to the point of them making webs, I totally forgot that can happen! Maybe a vacuum of some sort? Or maybe a hairdryer on the cool setting (no heat) could blow it off? How bad is it? Take my info with a grain of salt because I've never had webs :/

I probably won't be able to do one for the harvest because that's a busy day, but I can give the run down, it's really easy.

At harvest I chop the plants and throw them in bins. Then I take out the inner ebb buckets and dump any loose hydroton (that has no roots on them, the good hydroton will fall right out when you tip the bucket upside down.) whatever hydroton doesn't come out of the bucket due to the root mass goes in the garbage. I have a sump pump that I put into the reservoir and I have a hole big enough for the hose to go through when my ac is mounted, so I pump the water directly outside. Then I disassemble the tubing and I throw the tubing out. I always use new tubing each grow. I then wiped down the res with a towel and then I spray the inside with h2o2 solution to disinfect and leave it to evaporate. Then I wash the buckets in a wash sink with h2o2 and hot water. Then I'll hook everything back up with new tubing and done! Then I pull any fan leaves off that have a stem I can get too and hang to dry. Once the buds are dry, I'll then trim. And then it's on to the next grow 8-)

Perfect! I was wondering when you put your one gallon mesh pot in the ebb&grow i would think you add more hydroton for fit... I use regular 1 gallon garden pots think that will work fine? Only little rocks fall out...i hope it wont clog the ebb&grow tubing :???:

Yeah, I do all my vegging in 1 gallon pots in the flood tray, and when they are ready for flower I put them in the ebb buckets. My ebb buckets also have an inner pot, so I put the 1 gallon mesh pot with the plant in the inner ebb pot (which is 2 gallons) and then I back fill around the pot with hydroton. I put some hydroton in the ebb pot first to make the mesh pot with the plant level with the top of the ebb buckets. With my ebb system no rocks are able to get into the lines.

Here's some gdp, it's not looking as bad as I thought at first but it's a bitch to trim.. But I trimmed up about an Oz and 1/2 and it didn't make a dent, I'm thinking the yield will be OK despite the small buds, they are just real dense luckily.. But we'll see I don't wanna count chickens before they batch :p

Ive put the hole bud inside the shop vac hose. Works great. Love the funnel idea though!!!!! Sometimes i get too high to think out side the box. Caught some webs in week 7 years ago on a 9 week strain. Too scared to spray anything. Like every 2 or 3 days those fuckers made new webs. Tons of vacuuming went down the end of that run.
