also noticed the grow bags, how do you find them for growing? gave them a go before but find them to be a tad messy on feeding and flushing etc, possibly the setup i had going with them wasnt ideal but intrested to see what you think of them...

I really like them ,I have some monster nyc diesels runnin in them,lol yeah they are very messy if their draining on the side instead of submerging into the soil.

thats where i had bother, found hempy then so never went back to the bags, good tho otherwise for growing and for a fella on a tight budget means you can line a shopping bag and fire away growing ... how low did you top her to get ten heads as i she was how many nodes high before the top? as for strain and genetics you really need to talk to md jenks, he`d be our resident go to guy on that front, he really understands it from the breeders point of veiw, not that the rest don`t just hes more a tech head that way...;)

have you any idea if there 8 weekers or 11 weekers? as in flower time, or is it too early to tell?

The def I had in the DOG was the shock from incorrectly potting up when the root mass didn't have a propped connection with the new soil so besides drooping she showed a calmag def but buy the time I knew what it was she pretty much sorted herself out. Had a lil yellowing but alls sorted when I repotted so fingers crossed, lights on at 6 so lets see.weathers shite again today winds 130+ (again) supposedly so lets hope we don't join the 100,000 that had no power during the week.hows everything ur end?

got a male, he`s in he bin, the rest are really slow to show sex, i take that as a good sign tho, most of the time i find the really early starters and tall plants turn out to be males, the rest are looking good, possible paler than i`d like but they haave had a rough start so far with cold night temps and the few days here and there i was away and not able to check them, i`ll lift my light a few inchs later and see if it helps them reach up a bit, i`ve got my fan going again and the condensation has all but disappeared from the roof so no more clothes drier out there...

got a few seedlings to repot tomorrow ad few seeds to pop so should get perpetual going finally, teres no stopping now unless the worst happens and i get the knock on the door, although they more kick it in than knock... that said i shall continue as planned and hope for the best, my little room has been tested (remember the planes flying about in summer) and found to be good so we`ll see if shes a producer now...

no wind here today but its been raining pretty hard most of it.. don`t let the odd yellowing or spotting get to you as you said she sorted herself out, and the can get pretty bad before there doomed, might not get the full yeild but they`ll yeild, check back the thread on kangs old grows he had bother with burning led`s and ph all over the place but he still got there with burnt plants, again not ideal but it was a result... more important tho he didn`t give up and just pull them...

I can understand that,i noticed using 25% perlite in the soil it drained much better,these were 5.00 apiece and bot 40 so I thot it was a good shake...I have her under a 1000 and topped it maybe 8 inches stalk was already haf inch thick,i'm using golden tree nute from Humboldts secret line..md jenks. i'll peep t his work,thx...shes a 8 weeker.gorilla grape runs twice a yr and around ,75 pacs a hit..upcoming tho any day, sfv x dpd,indiana bubblegum x dpd,gorilla grape,pre98 x dpd ,and ecpd (east coast sour diesel cut x dpd.

Took @md's advice and topped planty today. Blowin a gale here. Already lost tiles of the roof a few days ago. Wouldnt be a prob except the affected area is right over the room the drobe is in. There is no chance of it being damaged its just that it increase's the chance of workmen/landlord needing access to the room. Not much I can do about it though.

won`t ned acess to the room to repair few tiles ghostdog, so you safe there, and landlord will need an appointment with you to get in should he need too, so you should be good there... topping is a great way to up your yeild it causes a little stress but worth it, as in the few days recovery time for the extra weed...

i love the plant training, not yet had a chance to do much with my lot but come summer time when i can get a few outside again i`ll get back at it...
