got room for some supercropping?

doubt it man, my landlord found my grow and said he doesnt want it any bigger, im guessing he saw 7 plants.

i think you should give those ladies some nutes..
if you arent giving them any i would give em that sensi at 1/3 strength..
exspecialy that crack..,but they are recovering well and looking sweet..

do you know what supercropping is??
its a way to get more out of less by bending and manipulating thebranches and topping the plants so that you get a larger canopy out of less plants.. dwc gows are perfect cause you can tie the brances down to eyebolts that you insert into the lid of your bucket...
you i just decreased the number of plants i grow from 15 to 8 and am expecting better yeild out of the 8 due to topping and suppercropping..
francos going to fill the same space as me with 6 plants over 8 cause he suppercopped heavier than me..
still dont want to push your landlord if he is being cool, but you can actually go from 7 to 4 and you can use that to get on there good side...
good luck :weed:

No i know exactly man... sensi is really good stuff... Well as you know advanced nutrients line is awesome... But that sensi is just perfect 2 part system.... You could break it down even more with there 3 part... (too much for me right now)

What im looking into buying next for soil grows is either the iguana juice or mother earth tea.... Wanting the whole organic deal in the future....

No i havent .. i have the electronic 400 watt xtrasun power supply with the daystar ac 6 in hydrofarm hood.... I use the cheap 400 hps lights from HD...so i give it the blue spectrum with cfls... seems to work fine... IM thinking ill be buying a good bulb in a few grows to see if it will improve anything. I wanna make sure the light is the only variable.... So far learning the different temps my garage sits at through out the year has been challenging... Im going to have to end up heating and AC'n this shit when i get serious. LOL

yeah organics with soil is awesome, dump that mg soil use pro mix with some extra perilite. iguana juice as a base . add the mother earth in as a suppliment..
i used botanicare for a minute ,but that shit ruined me on organics..
advanced has impressed me so that i will eventually try there organics..
