The reservoir is about 2 litres, was filled yesterday, but I could just keep feeding them at 1100 from the top and it will just overflow.

Ur speaking a foreign language to me....ha...idk abt hydro feedings sorry man...just up ur feeding a little n see hiw she acts....watch ur leaves for curling. ..spots...or warping to ensure ur not feeding too much...also feel ur leaves..u want em to be smooth n soft...as long as shes accepting the food n staying healthy feed her up

ok I'm going to mix up a slightly stronger feed now for them, the others were at 1300 or 1400ppm at this point and were smaller and didn't hurt them so I'll do that, cheers.

Looking good! I see they recovered well from my scrog session.

And pistils at 3 days into the flip?! Must've been my super semen.

I upped mine to 1400 for transition and will up to around 1600 - 1700 once in full flower providing i dont see any burn.
Just up it 100 if no burn up another 100 until you see it on the tips then back it down 200 from there, like vega said they could be hungry bitches :mrgreen:

You know, that day you said you were going to come over and fuck my plants, I got all paranoid and made a booby trap for you on the grow room door! lol :)
EDIT: THIS IS FICTION AND REALLY SILLY, FOUND BY GOOGLING BOOBY TRAP.

If you're in Toronto rain water is too god damn plentiful this summer!! I have a plant out on the deck. I debate on bringing her in cause of the rain! My clones took forever to root too. Do you just have the one fan going on these girls. When do I need to start fanning?! I have a fairly large space.

Hey mate I live in Australia, its winter and it rains quite often here. I bought a greenhouse for my next run, i'm moving outdoors and I don't want my spring plants in the elements either. I always have a fan on them. I'd prefer a smaller fan on them, the oscillating fan in there is on low and directed just above the canopy, otherwise it's too much. The tent is only 1.2 x 1.2 (x2) Thanks for dropping in.

I am week info flowering my first mainline now. image.jpg Veg took forever. Lol. I am wondering if I should be removing some of the lower growth. It is getting pretty bushy. I saw in nugs mainlining post he waits until 2 week stretch is over then trims bottom 3rd out. Any tips on pruning or just let her go?

oh yeah I realise that but he's talking the bottom 3rd and these don't stretch very much, but yeah I'm going to cut some of the new ones off :)

I got two plants going, one mainlined the other (different strain) that I topped for 4 main colas. I noticed the mainline is not stretching as much. I assumed it may be due to different strain but it may also be from the mainlining? The mainline plant fell a little behind from the get go due to all the training. I tried to LST to keep the tops even but they are in full on stretch mode now and the mainlined plant is falling further behind.

I assumed waiting two weeks to remove lower growth was to ensure the new shoots don't pop back up and need to be trimmed down again. Mr. Vega I am looking at your pics (avatar) and it looks like you kept a lot of the lower shoots just cleared out some of the fan leaves. Nugbuckets plants don't seem to have a lot of side branching but may just be a strain thing as he mentions.

I took a couple clones of each and going to try and get this down as I love the look of my plants and loving how thick the branching and stem are....It seems very slow to start but see how it comes around on the back end and catches up. Also this time around I will be better about giving a little more time between cuts, lst etc. to hopefully speed up recovery time in veg.

Correct....I leave all my inner/side branches and like u said I just help em along to grow up w the rest of the canopy creating a bush...I start w the main line basics but not as strict...kinda did my own thing w it....u can play w it n see what works for u or what u like...theres no rules just watch ur plant itll let ya know.

Mainlining will slow the plant down tho...adjust ur lights or stack ur pot on a bucket or somthing to keep an even canopy in ur garden

I burnt them the other night, I went in there a few hours later and the leaf edges slightly folded up, I flushed with about 10 litres of ph'd plain water and then fed the next day at the same strenghth as before, they look 95% recovered now just going to work it slowly now until I change to bloom nutes in a few daysSAM_3122.jpgSAM_3128.jpgSAM_3123.jpgSAM_3124.jpg
