its not because of the t5s............ seems like some of this thread has been deleted

Just starting week 5 of flower, 3-4 weeks to go.

I've been following this thread with interest as I am having to stop using my HPS due to upcoming heat issues as summer weather arrives....and am going to flower under my 4' T5 HO during the summer months. Knowing this, I'm LSTing and topping to have a low canopy for my next harvest.

My current plants in 12/12 were vegged too long and they are 36" tall, and the bottom of the plants are producing nothing even though I have T5 HO side-lights blasting them.

I'll be interested in your yield and opinion of the density of the buds.

I already have some really nice sized dense buds, rock hard.

sorry is what u say next

wow.....pretty harsh words here. For me, I look at the set-up, the health of the plants, the knowledge of the grower, and if he says he's had good grows I have no doubts he's telling the truth. There are those on here that do indeed brag about good grows and then they spew dumb-shit stuff about how much they yielded from their computer case grow, and it's obvious they are full of shit, and everyone but newbies knows it. I don't know who made anyone the 'bullshit' cop on here, but if someone doesn't believe someone else, they usually just move onto the next thread and not bash the person.

Well I am pretty happy so far with this grow it has been a major improvement over my last 2 and I can already tell that the end yield and quality will be much better. I will be the first to say my first 2 grows sucked and I was very disappointed but I also knew nothing and learned a lot from them. I can say I grew some good quality Blue Dream and NYD but yield was bad. Each grow has been a learning experience and I learn more each go around. Take what you learn and apply it to the next grow. I will not be changing much next time mainly no veg time but instead going 12/12 right after the plants recover from the first topping. This should keep all my plants nice and short and even. Or I will be getting 3 more GDP plants and 3 Medi Bud plants that are all short indicas and heavy yielders. I will also be doing a perpetual grow with plants in different stages of flower so I can harvest every month instead of every 3 months.

woody......it seems that you have some mental challenges. Did your mother beat you or something? Do you feel better by putting other's down so you can feel somehow superior to others?

I didn't know we were playing a game. Judging by the bulk of your posts I would guess the name of the game for you is "Lack of social skills" or "Let's make someone feel like shit".

I get the feeling you make the lives of everyone around you much more miserable. I just don't get people that are wired that way.

don't feed the trollers!!


back to topic... Good progress so far intenseneal, loving them ladies.

Yes, I agree.....very nice grow.
