Roger that! Ive learned from my female that topping is the way to go!

I looked at my male that I didint top compared to the fem that I did top...HUGE difference!


Ill top all my babies from now on.

But I topped mine when she was only like 5 nodes high. Is that correct?

Yuppers...that's correct...I even top mine at the 4th node...

Rule of thumb is to top when the plants reach sexual maturity around 5-6 weeks or so...

So, I went shopping today!!!

After researching Roseman's DIY Bubbleponic Tutorial, it inspired me to put together a cheap bubble DWC (micro of course).

Here's a list of stuff I bought today

1) Sun reflector for your car on sale @ Wal Mart for $4

2) Bubble stones 6" and end stones

3) Tubing

4) Air pump

5) 6 qt rubbermaid container .99 at Target

6) Dremmel Cordless Multi purpose Tool

7) Air Purifier

So needless to say, I had some fun! I only ended spending like 100 bucks total on everything.

Here's some pics...enjoy!!!:mrgreen:

If so, is it absolutely necessary to buy those expensive duct fans for the tent?

Is there a cheaper, same result alternative to buying those inline fans/squirrel cage... I'd be alright spending around $75 bucks...

Any thoughts/suggestions/tips/advice is always given +rep...:eyesmoke:

I would advise against skimping on ventilation. Spending a few bucks on a decent inline fan now will save you the heartache of heat stress later.

Wow! JB30 great setup! I dont think ive ever seen a overlooking picture of the space!

Love the 400wer and the micro DWC setup is fantastic! Might want to paint the container so the roots wont get any light to them : )

(what I read in Rosemans thing anyway)

Nice setup though, +Rep if I could! ha
