Those are chrysanthemums. I brought the pots inside so the soil wouldn't freeze and crack them, but after a few weeks I noticed new growth where I chopped them back and said what the hell. They are growing like crazy. We'll put them back outside in the spring. It's hella cold here.
Oh, yeah, there is also a clone of a basil plant that I grew outdoors in a hempy bucket. It doesn't like 12/12 under hps. Come spring it'll go into a outdoor hempy bucket. Grows like a shrub.
Gardening is good!

Looking at this thread, wishing I had more height! Less plants and more yield would be nice. I went the opposite way due to my restrictions with stealth and height and what not. So I went Ebb and Flow, growing straight to flowering clones. Then my clones have to be short from the beginning, so at harvest there no taller then 30-35 inches. Height from table to light = 41 inches! Light = 600W. I should be able to pull it off and make it work. Also doing a perpetual harvest. That way I can harvest more in a month. I smoke a lot!

Wow. You might want to look into a cool tube. 6 inches from my 600's would definitely fry the tops of my plants.
My tallest plant is 32 inches (47" from the floor) and my top light is 14" above it. Even with free-flowing air in a fairly unenclosed space, I can't put em much closer or the tops get burnt. I can raise the light another 15 inches or so. If that isn't enough, I'll move to another room in my basement that has an 8 foot ceiling. I have better power supply in here though.

Hey Dewey, I just checked out your grow journals. Very impressive! What yield did you end up with from the Clone Grow? +rep!

Thanks man, I got 6.26 oz dry off soil and a 400w. Now hydro and 600, Hoping to get 8-10 on a full table harvest using the same space. My Belladonna grow in my signature is my current grow. Thanks for checking it out. It's going to be a nice little challange with the new setup! But so far, I'm loving the auto hydro setup. Just sit back and whatch them grow!

They were fed bloom ferts for the first time today. After their last watering, I noticed some of the smallest leaves were a little curled down and limp and I suspect P is needed. Overall they are great, not gaining height on the central cola, but the side branches are growing fast and sturdy, and pistils are forming rapidly.
Comments welcome.

Lol. I was just looking at em. I have no idea what strain this is, but it's as tall as it's gonna get in a 5 gallon. The roots are bulging up around the base of the stalk. They've only gained an inch but they are wide. I think the 600W sidelight is working.
I've never topped, but I could get the top light closer if I had. Next time.

They are on day 17 of flowering and have only grown a couple more inches but the side branches are really nice. My lights come on in a couple hours and today is a watering day. I'll take some pics around noon.

March 4 would be ten weeks. Maybe they'll be ready sooner, but I doubt it. I'll have three more big mommas ready to flower by then.
. And I have eight more baby clones. That's all vegging under 4 65W CFLs. I'm thinking of upgrading that to a 1k MH light. My wife wants to use it for regular gardening purposes. She has seen the light lol.
