The culture of illegality and deception has got to go. It's just ridiculous.
Here are my girls. Switched nutes today to ripen. Gh Kool Bloom dry and a little hummic acid ... Both to recommended strengths. Got an EC meter today... Curious to see the runoff readings. I have some marginal stresses apparent, but the plants continue to grow well.

Well I've harvested my first plant, Kaya. She was flipped over worse than any of them, and was beyond help. The trichs are almost all opaque with a few Amber here and there. Pistils are about 60-70% red. From the looks of her I'd say she's done. I'm going to continue harvesting weakest to strongest.

I don't have any real weight yet, but each plant has produced about a gallon of buds... Some more some less. Estimating from 2 DE hps I'm gonna pull between 3-4 lbs

With the inlaid cup method do you/I will stack two cups together and inlay them so you can take the one your planted in out and check roots and the second holds the dirt in place until you like the root mass and then water both containers, remove the plant and empty cup and Bob's your uncle?

Hey bud, it's a technique I haven't used in a while, but the same thing can be accomplished by just packing dirt around a solo cup so that the transplant just pops right in.

I took @Maat Aatack 's idea and put it into play with my own twists. Thx Maat! The thread got trolled, but my successful implementation allowed me to discount them as ignorant, so you can too. :). Used it a couple times now with 100% success.

Yeah that first group of plants grown from seed were the strongest. The second group was grown in the same size pots, but we're extensively supercropped into the second week of bloom and had an extremely hard time supporting itself. The current grow of the same strain is seeing similar physical strength issues when I selected the particular clone because of its apparent ability to support itself better than any of its other siblings. The only difference between these clones currently growing and its parent is the pruning and supercropping. I do t know if I'm willing to grow another generation of this strain without a trellis with or without training. It is quite structurally weak.
