You'll figure it out 
Hooked up my Koldfront standing AC unit yesterday in my room. Dropped from 81 residual temps to 72 consistent and eliminated the necessity for a dehum, so the the additional power consumption in minimal. Very happy! Hoping to see some improvement in my boxes, temps were creeping up to 90 degrees which was hurting plant health and quality. Now they're chillin at 84 on the spot, right where I want them! Have a good weekend everyone.

Yeah I overdid it a couple times with nutes have been lowering em got it under control now I think, I'm probably just gonna go with straight water for the next week or two till I get em to 12/12 then I was gonna start with the bloom nutes. Ohh also u had mentioned the poppies I had found this site, although I haven't bought of em myself yet, I'm too limited on space right now. But these seem like some good deals unless its bogus seeds or sumptin. http://www.ethnobotanicals.com/opium-poppy-seeds.html

ethnobotanicals is a righteous site. i have done the biz-a-ness with them. too late to plant, here, at least. in the old days farmers would spread the poppy seeds on the last snows of early Spring and plant that way. i neemed mine the other day, and they do not look good.

Until I learn to supercrop better I will add some side-lighting to hit this spot that is all cluster fucked.

They look good bro, just remember when Sup Crop'n you want to keep your canopy completely even. So when you see a branch that is higher or growing faster than other, PINCH to slow it down so the others can catch up.
As far as too much "N" I would have to disagree, if you had too much "N" your foliage would be a very dark green, I would say they even look alittle hungry. But thats my opinion only.

Yes just start a thread in the Grow Journal section and copy and paste the link here so I can follow it. I want to see how these freebies are.

Yeah no ur right bout it being hungry, I'm only growin 2 plants right now and I try to water em at the same time but when I would check the one in the pic would be almost bone dry and the other wouldn't need water, it was partly my fault cause the one that didn't need water was transplanted cause the pot it was in before wasn't draining properly so it was really struggling, but now its catching up, anyways I realized that I need to start watering it more frequently or with more water now. Not hungry for nutes but just water.
Oh and @bassman999 if ur not comfortable supercropping, which I don't think I would supercrop at that point of flowering but u wanna get light into that one spot ur talkin bout u could try doin some LST, ya know tie those branches down so that they separate from each other so u can get more light in on em, that's what u wanna do right?

I wanted to ask also when I had super crop'd some of the lower branches and tied em down to try and keep an even canopy it caused the nodes below the main grow tip to start and grow a tip as well so now some of those branches I supr crpd and tied down have like 6-8 grow shoots on em, is that too many tips for just 1 branch, cause its like that on several branches. Will it have any negative effect once it starts to flower?
