Why, because it's one of the most overplayed songs of all-time? Or because your ex got the stairway to heaven in the divorce settlement?
Just revisiting "Wayne's World" for a bit...remember the signs in the guitar store where they try out guitars? "No Stairway to Heaven Allowed".

Another good looking grow Brother Jela, likin the cubes a lot. I've gone to coco/perlite mix as it holds water longer so less feedings which I like, I know you have had great success with the larger cubes in the res. I'll probably head in that direction soon. Keep up the great work! Peace and Happy Growing!!

Day 17, middle of week 3 since 12/12 flip.....I can now say "I'm up to my neck" in grass. Bud formation is on track. Every time I lift my lights up I get a substantial jump in height so that game is over. They are actually doing fine 6-7” away from the LED’s. No burning or bleaching noted yet. Today they will see 14ml/g bases nutes…been stepping them up gradually by 1ml/g last 3 feedings. They will stay there till week 5 when pk13/14 additions start and I’ll back off a tad. Lots of little sucker branches with buds on them…might take those off to put more energy into the big colas, but want to leave them for the remainder of week 3 to divert energy from the stretch.
Adding a pic of the fat base stem and the original FIM, where I missed and only produced 3 branches....It my favorite method over simple topping for making a bushy plant...comes back faster when vegging for only 30 days.

Overfilling the tent again I see. Keep up the good work.

I've tried to FIM, I might as well just take a healthy swing with a machete. For me FIM=Fu_k I Missed

They look like they're under the sun :)
Clink, no problem with lumens....I'm going to have to trade in my eyeballs with a cadaver if I don't start wearing some protection soon. I really would like to ditch the 400W HPS one day.

Hi Watts, someone taught me in the past year to pinch with your thumb nail and pointer finger nail....seems to be better than scissors when you get a little "crush" in with the removal.

Day 18, just lifted the lights to the last bit of rope on the adjustable hangar yo-yo's. Next step is to gain ≈6" by hanging the lights directly to the tent cross bars....after that it's bend'em over time. I tried a few of them and the trellis is the perfect height to tie off the base of each cola in hopes they will turn upward thereafter. All my wife has for tying them down is some pink ribbon..yep, time to visit the hydro store for some man-like camo green stuff......I don't do duck-tape.

There's always duct tape...ummm yeah to cover the pots...

Your timing was perfect Who-kie.....couldn't edit that one fast enough....trying to subdue my stone and any "sexual" connotations. My new friend Pcinla "up there" is watching my backdoor (LOL).

Ouch....no more rope for the SGS-160's to hang myself with....DSC00874.jpg

Jimmy Page is SUCH a gentleman. Really inspiring cat. Even in his older days he positively OOOOOZES awesome.

Its funny, how technology is empowering videos like this that couldn't be shared until just recently....this was my generation too..Saw Robert with his own band in '93 and he really put on a show...too bad I couldn't see Jimmy with him.
If you dig Led Zep and guitar music in general, give this a watch if you haven't already:

Not posting a video link because it's like 90 minutes long...
Will check that out Mad! Thanks for sharing..looks like something to knock down on a friday night with some beer and a bowl. The "Sharkbreath" from the grow before last is curing up to a super-sweet smoke. It will be my selection when I watch this.

I've found it better to use brightly colored tie downs, the camo ones blend in real well and you lose track of them. I use red wire it stands out real well. Out of all the items I've tried (I did use duct tape once and only once) I like the wire the best. The wire I use is the direct burial wire used for sprinkler systems. It is very malleable much more than romex and it's got a much thicker insulation layer, never bruises or damages the girls.

I think the pink ribbon would look good in the update photos.......

LOL watt, at least he'd be able to see them...

I was wondering about using some wires as well..I have about a million computer power cords, so I was thinking of stripping a few...and turning into tie downs...

Those Skywalkers are some stretchy girls just like I heard! I've got my hood raised up as high as it will go too Jela, thankfully my girls quit stretching, albeit at the last possible moment. I found something called "floral wire" at my local dollar store. Really flexible and great for molding to shape. If you are just tying branches to the trellis than you could probably use twist-ties, like the ones used for bread bags and garbage bags. Just make sure they are plastic and not paper coated.
