durn... been trying to post in ur thread for the last 3 days and coudn't for some reason.
anyhow, guess you got 22 more in the loop. Are they really 5-6' ft. tall already in veg.? you gonna have to just lay them completely down
i've heard about actually doing that.
when i switched to 12/12 with my current overtall girls... i actually considered just chopping them down to half their height. I didn't though... so now i'm having to do a lot of bamboo staking.

So during my last flowering cycle I had all these extra plants that I had no lights to flower under, so they just kept growing; you've seen them if you've been watching this journal. I flipped some of them over to flower on September 8, the rest about two weeks later. So they are in 3-5 weeks bloom time now. I picked up the rest of the 3 part soluble bloom ferts from Fox Farm. I tried out Cha Ching last time and I thought I had slightly sweeter, stickier buds. So I went with the entire line. I'm still giving Open Sesame, the next watering will have Beasty Bloomz in it. S
I have another 600 watter coming from HTG. Those guys treat me right. I called up, told Tony what I wanted and said, hey check out my account; I spend dough with you guys. How about a little discount? He rolled 100 bucks right off. Works out to about a 30% discount. Nice. I've never had anything but awesome service from them.
I got an air cooled hood which I won't really need until next summer. I have to upgrade all my hoods to the same. Otherwise I just can't grow efficiently in the summer. I don't want to pay for AC, I think I'm spending about as much as I feel comfortable with on electricity at this point.

I just got around to reading this post, DG. LOL at the staking. As you see I've just done a bunch of it. They stand well by themselves, I just staked them so I could move and rotate them safely.
Never again with the giant plants for me. I'm going back to mid-size. This was basically a mistake.

It ended up surprising me; I sorted through another cooler full of trim and got all the buds out of there and had another two ounces. I ended up with nearly 30.
I hope to start flowering them in December/January.

I would like to make a nice one capable of holding 40 clones. Got any good plans?

d-a-m-n-'t m-a-n !! i called them 'ol boys up and told em, look here, i'm buying system (ballast, etc.) 6 and system 7... how bout a discout ? i only got 10 percent
oh, well. you still can't beat their price on light systems.ya, my girls were over-tall as well. i think it may actually hinder the plant as it just has to pump all the 'sap' a foot or two higher to get to the buds. just have plenty of 4' to 6' bamboo stakes on hand, good chance you'll need 'em

lookin good shrnk! Gambler I dont think a taller plant is hindered in any way unless it has a weak root system and a slammer stem that wont even begin to support the plant itself, let alone the buds it produces, look at Heath and Mblaze and the outdoor plants 13feet tall and shit..they got bigger buds than the biggest colas on "normal" I.E. 1 to 3 foot plants when flowered I think it might just take a bit longer to finish a monster than some people would like. Ive got some 5 footers indoors right now so i guess ill see by christmas time!
