Hola amigo.. hope things are well in your neck of the woods. I am curious to compare results with you this time around. After 1 successful round of SCROG, and LST. I have opted for your plan of attack.. except I am only using 1X1000watt HPS and only ten plants. I had 14, but both Australian Blue seeds turned male on me, as well as a white widow and one of my HogBog's. Plants were vegged for 4 weeks under 250 watt HPS and put into flower nearly 3 weeks ago. The tallest shoots were all super-cropped to flatten the canopy.
Don't have access to any special soil or nutes.. so I just stick with a pre-nuted Pro-Mix soil and add some Greenlight Bloom Booster around the 4th week of flower. I know my setup isn't optimal, but it works for the time being. Haven't been keeping up with my journal, but I will taking more pics now that things are starting to look pretty again.

Thanks! +Rep for you, my friend.
I have also heard about the hermie problem with DP BB and I plan to keep a keen eye on them throughout the flowering process. I took clones from all five of them so whichever ones don't herm I will keep in my collection.

Glad to see you're a free man now, brother. +Rep!
There was a thread about you getting busted in the general growing section that had damn near 300 posts in it in less than 24 hours before the mods deleted it. We all feel for you, man.
The weed laws in Florida are absolutely ridiculous to say the least. Did you ever find out how the cops got their "tip" about you that led them here? Jealous friend or ex-girlfriend?
It's also strange that they deleted all of your older posts too. Weird.

Sweet pictures! Damn, those are some bushy ass plants. This is gonna be a great winter I must say. Have you ever thought about using a trellis to support all of the arms? I just set mine up and I can tell its gonna make a huge difference in the outcome.

Well, I am going to trim all of the branches off of the bottom third of each plant so they won't be as bushy. I plan to do this either tonight or tomorrow. I did this on my last grow and the results were great.

Hey Dill, glad to see the ladies made it through the storm. I have a question pertaining to your cloning method. I took clones from my last round of indoors and was only about 50% successful. The method I employed was one of the simplest forms I have found, but you seem to have much better success rate than I have had in the past.
The last time I tried to clone I used solo cups with a rooting medium containing no nutrients, just a basic rooting soil and dipped my clippings in a rooting hormone and plunged those babies into the soil. Put them under 24 hour light produced by 4XT8 bulbs. As I said before my success was less than desirable, and being 3 weeks into this round of flower I want to trim to lower growth now and use them for my next round.
Any words of wisdom on your cloning method would be wonderful. I have read Jorge Cervantes book a few times and other RIU users's method's..but our setup's are very similar so I figured I would pick your brain. Your girls are looking lovely as always in this well documented journal. Peace-boulderheads

I used Clonex gel and put the clones in Light Warrior and kept the clones in a very humid environment (90% and higher) for about a week. I also misted them with plain water several times a day and they didn't need to be watered for almost 10 days because of all the humidity. Hope that helps.

Yeah.. i think I let everything get to dry last time..combination of being too busy and not really needing the clones to survive at that point. Thanks for the follow-up my bro.

I have a single 400 watt HPS hanging vertically with no reflector over the clones. I didn't put it in until about day 7 though. Until then I just used ambient lighting, as lighting is not very important during the first week of cloning.
