No you're not.....you're a week behind. I'm growing a 6 week strain remember? LOL :-P

Just long enough that the spray will hit the roots. With my NFT system the roots need to be a little longer since the spray heads shoot down. I go from my aerocloner to a spray tub when I see roots about 1-1.5" long. Once they're about 4" long I move to the NFT. I found 3" neoprene inserts for...

Update: Day 18 of flower

By the way Loud....I need to thank you again for your recommendation on H&G. That H&G stuff is the shit. I didn't like it when saw the cost but I don't think I've ever had a more perfect crop....no deficiency's, no spotting, no leaf burn...perfect colas, beautiful leaves, perfect color. Hope it...

Glad the supercropping is working. I certainly know the feeling of wanting a grow to be over with so you can get a fresh start. As far as nute modification my thought is that I'll only do what is necessary. I don't have the ability to measure what particular nutrient has been used up in a weeks...

What would that give you....another 1"? Is it even worth it? Isn't there any way to hang the lights vertically on the side of the plants? Can you get em out of the tent and in to a spare closet or somewhere else with a little more headroom? I know this sounds a little ridiculous but my Mom...

I read somewhere that it did stop vertical growth but only for the week that it was added to the nute mix. The guy said the following week they started stretching again. Who knows.....he may have had other problems. The only thing I can tell you is that when I had this problem I let it go too...

Find a dark, cool closet. Hang the colas up. Put a 10 dollar oscillating fan blowing on them. I took a 1by (furring strip), screwed some clothes pins to it, hung the 1by from 2 strings and clamped all my colas to it. Works great!

Oops...forgot BUT...it isnt the be all-end-all especially at this time of the year when humidity isnt a problem. I got a big plastic container with a hinged lid. I cut 2 4" holes in it. (1 at each end and one being at the bottom of the side, and the other at the top of the other side). I...

Well, ideally you want about 77 day temps (lights on) and 72 night temps (about a 5 degree difference). The bigger the difference between the two, the more stretch you're gonna get.

I dunno Loud......sounds to me that you have everything covered as far as temps go. You could try Bushmaster which is supposed to stop vertical growth but I've heard mixed reviews. Can you relo the lights a little and try to LST? I know...its a pain in the ass....especially if your fixtures are...

Cutting off everything but the main stem (all side branching). You end up with one main cola. Typically done in a SOG.

Thanks LB....you're absolutely right....it is the top booster. Howz your grow going?

Thanks Southern. Just started using them and here's what I've noticed. I'm using Aquaflakes A & B. This is the BASIC mixture for veg AND flower. You always use equal amounts of each. When you go to 12/12 you don't change the ratios of A to B (you still use equal amounts). The only difference...

Update: These plants were vegged for 2 weeks and went to 12/12 on 8/15. They are massive for a little more than 1 month old. This is supposed to be a 40-45 day strain....we shall see. A big thanks to LoudBlunts for his recommendation of H&G nutes. This stuff is extremely PH stable and requires...

When you go to 12/12 the plants will almost triple in height before they stop vertical growth. One of the most important thing in internode height control is temperature. If you can maintain 77 fah during the day and 72 at night you're going to reduce stretch as much as possible. Heres something...

Southern/Loud They're doing great. Been outta town for a while so I haven't been able to update. I'll post some pics tonight

I've tried both ways (24/7 and 1 min on, 4 off). I don't see a big difference so I switched my on/off timer to my flood/drain Mom system.

Actually a screen may make it worse. If you cant enlarge the drain holes (as well as having a single pipe from each tube back to the rez rather than manifolded together) because you're too far along just make sure you have an emergency back-up plan in place (like removing the rubber end caps and...

Hey H8....nice set-up...you'll love it. Can I make a suggestion? I have built several of these systems and have found out that the hole in the bottom of the tube should be as large as possible. After I built my first system years ago I had massive root growth which clogged a 1.25" hole and...
