Here's UB's guide on topping. You count from the soil up to pick the nodes to leave. So 2nd node up. I've seen UB mentions it can be done earlier, but he doesn't recommend it. They need a root system in place. I love UB's technique.

I did the TD for a Growers Cup on Club Speedy. 2 seeds planted same day, and all go to 12/12 in 11 days. Any lights, any nutes, any medium.
I left the website and info for letters and rough points to make if anyone want to help. Just be polite, please. I'll tell them to fuck themselves if they repeal, or this joke of regulation. I'll even join the Republican Party just to vote against them running again in my district.:fire:

Senate to focus on repeal of medical pot law after reform stalls

By CHARLES S. JOHNSON Missoulian State Bureau | Posted: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 10:15 pm |
HELENA - A bill to repeal and tighten restrictions on the state's medical marijuana law stalled in the Senate Wednesday night on procedural grounds, so the chamber will now turn to Plan B: an outright repeal of the law that legalized the substance.
It was a moment of high drama in the Senate, amid reports of deal-making overtures by Democrats that Republican leaders rebuffed and lost the last-remaining major bill to tighten restrictions on medical marijuana use in Montana.
It also sets up the possibility that the Legislature either will repeal the medical marijuana law, or come up with nothing, with only three weeks left in the session. And a repeal bill might draw a veto from Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who has said the law should be fixed, not overturned.
Senate Bill 423, the medical marijuana repeal and major overhaul bill by Senate Majority Leader Jeff Essmann, R-Billings, coasted through the Senate 37-13 after a lengthy debate. The bill was drafted by a subcommittee last week.
But it later hit a brick wall. The Senate twice failed to muster the necessary two-thirds majority - 34 votes in the 50-member Senate - to suspend the rules to allow SB423 to be voted on twice in the same day in order for it to meet a key deadline Wednesday to send the bill to the House.
Although Republicans control the Senate 28-22, they weren't able to attract enough Democratic support on the two votes to suspend the rules for SB423.
The first vote to suspend rules failed, 31-19, and a second attempt fell short 32-18.
"Obviously, I'm disappointed we didn't get the vote to suspend the rules today," Essmann said later.
He criticized the "slow action" by Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer's budget office in taking the full six days allowed by the rules to prepare a fiscal note outlining the financial impact on SB423. The Senate didn't receive the fiscal note until Wednesday morning. Had the fiscal note been in the Senate's hands on Tuesday, Essmann said, the Senate could have taken the separate votes on SB423 on Tuesday and Wednesday without having to suspend the rules.
Essmann said his bill is not dead yet. The Senate still will take up SB423 again Thursday. However, if it passes, it would take a two-thirds majority vote by the 100-member House to suspend its rules and accept the late bill. If that fails, the bill is dead.
***
After the first rules suspension motion on SB423 failed, Sen. John Brenden, R-Scobey, immediately and successfully blasted the outright repeal bill out of committee to be debated by the Senate Thursday. That bill is HB161, by Speaker Mike Milburn, R-Cascade, which had been deadlocked in the Senate Judiciary Committee on a 6-6 vote after passing the House earlier.
Democrats tried but failed to swing a deal to give Republicans enough support for the rule suspension vote in exchange for Republicans providing enough votes to pass a separate $97.8 million bonding bill for state university buildings and a new Historical Society museum. The bonding bill also takes a two-thirds majority.
At a Democratic caucus Wednesday morning, several Democratic senators, including Sens. Steve Gallus, of Helena, and Jim Keane, of Butte, both suggested that Democrats ought to get something in return - like Republican support for the bonding bill - in exchange for some Democratic votes to suspend the rules to take a second vote on SB423.
"I'm trying to get a deal," said Senate Minority Leader Carol Williams, D-Missoula, at the morning caucus. She said she had been talking to Republican leaders.
Later in the day, Democrats came up empty-handed in their attempted negotiations with Republicans.
Rumors of the deal-making caused Senate President Jim Peterson, R-Buffalo, to issue a news release criticizing Democratic efforts.
"I was disappointed to hear that Democrats are willing to use legislation to responsibly regulate therapeutic marijuana as a political bargaining chip for completely unrelated policies," Peterson said, adding: "Trading votes on an issue like this is like trading votes on abolishing the death penalty; it should never happen."
Williams later suggested that Democrats blocked the Republican efforts because they were unhappy that GOP senators recently defeated numerous Democratic efforts to amend House Bill 2, the major budget bill, to add more money for education and human services.
"I think the marijuana bill was an important one, but so was House Bill 2," she said.
Williams said the Democratic offer was that Republicans support all the Democratic amendments to Essmann's bill, which they believed would improve the bill. Most Democratic amendments failed.
"Basically, what I'm going to say is I'm not going to be held hostage by the far right," she said. "They can either work with us, or they're going to learn just because they have the majority, they can't always get their way."
Other Democratic senators, however, said Democrats offered votes to support the rules suspension vote on SB423, in exchange for Republican support for the bonding bill. Republicans, however, refused to agree.
Essmann's bill sought to make it much harder for people, particularly those claiming severe and chronic pain, to obtain cards authorizing them to obtain medical marijuana. His stated goal is to reduce the state's 28,300 cardholders to less than 2,000.

I did my part. It is sad that they are all to ignorant to see that if medical cannabis is repealed, the outcome, while still unknown fully, will definitely be worse for both sides of the cause than before the law was repealed.

Cant wait to see the effing retard :fire: My SS has been outside a week revegging. It got down to 30's Tuesday night. I bet she gets a touch retarded after that. :mrgreen:

OK, I harvested her. If only the Main Cola was as dense as SS #2's was.:leaf: It is big, & may have filled in some, but those lower nanner on the Mid buds said she was done. I don't want to get seeds from the other 2 midway into flowering. The lower buds were hanging way over, and some bent where the wire held them up. Just popcorn buds for dust & oil later.
I got the pics to end it with a popcan and a ruler.

I made it rain on SS #4-A with 3 gal. and fed her 1/2 tsp. Jacks /1 quart to finish. She's shaping up just like her Mom. I used wires to hold the branched tighter this time early, instead of waiting till it's too late.
I also made it rain on the Royal Kush with 2 gal. and finished her with same dose of nutes.
SS #1 also got a rain with 2 gal. same to finish. She should be done well before the TD go in here.

'DUI laws are bad for business': Republican representative (and bar owner) DEFENDS drink driving



By Fiona Roberts

It could best be described as a conflict of interest.

A Republican representative - and bar owner - raised eyebrows in Montana yesterday when he defended drink driving in a passionate speech to the House.
Alan Hale, a Tea Party supporter, said strict DUI legislation is 'destroying' small businesses in a state where lawmakers have made it their mission to cut high drink-driving rates.

[video=youtube;vl_QNa-bCKc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl_QNa-bCKc[/video]

Passionate speech: Representative Alan Hale told the Montana House strict drink driving laws were 'destroying' small businesses

The 57-year-old was one of only 12 representatives to vote against a new drink driving bill, which allows the courts to take into account DUI offences from up to 10 years ago.
In his speech, which was quickly circulated on YouTube by Montana Democrats, he said:'These DUI laws are not doing our small businesses in our state any good at all.


'They are destroying them. They are destroying a way of life that has been in Montana for years and years.'

Controversial views: Mr Hale is a former logger and miner who was elected to the House in November

Mr Hale, a former logger, miner and truck drive, has a vested interest in those small businesses - he and his wife own the Silver Saddle Bar and Cafe in Basin, Montana.
He said: 'These taverns and bars in these smaller communities connect people together. They are the centre of the communities.

'I'll guarantee you there's only two ways to get there: either you hitchhike, or you drive, and I promise you they're not going to hitchhike.'
The house has passed a slew of anti-DUI bills this year as it attempts to crack down on Montana's high drunk-driving rates.
And the state made headlines in January with an anti-drink driving advert called 'sober friend', which showed a man avoiding DUI by leaving a bar on a horse.
After some confusion, state lawmakers confirmed it is not illegal to ride a horse while drunk.

It's not the first time Mr Hale, who is serving his first term as a representative, has spoken out against drink driving laws.
In the run-up to the November elections he told local newspaper the Helena Independent he believed some DUI penalties were too harsh.

He said: 'They arrest people day in and day out, and it hasn’t done any good, but it has ruined a lot of young people’s lives.

'If you get a DUI you can’t get a CDL (commercial driver’s license) and you’re left out in the cold.
'I’m not sure what needs to be done, but we need to look at a whole lot of alternatives to try to straighten it out.'
Mr Hale, who has five children and 12 grandchildren, appeared at a Tea Party rally earlier this month where supporters were encouraged to bring their guns to focus attention on the right to bear arms.
He described them as his 'family', and said: 'I would like to see this crowd a whole lot larger.
'I hope I can continue to do the right things and vote the way I should.

Cool, Do you know if those are quieter than the metal ones?sns:leaf:
I haven't been around the other ones much, but it's real quiet.:clap::leaf:

I got my soil analysis back from the TX A&M. The N was lower than the last mix, but it had the same Blood Meal. Only thing I can think is I added roughly the same slow release humic acid/mix. I added the alfalfa hay too. So maybe in the two weeks before I sent it off, it used some as it got to work. But maybe it needed a more thorough mixing, yet I mixed it a bunch. I think I'm good for Ca. It's a higher pH this time and conductivity is Slight instead of Moderate.
One thing I'm not sure about is this. I said Garden for crop grown instead of Tomatoes. The CL is different. Like pH is .3 higher & P is 50 higher. Think if I put Cannabis they would put it's CL? Any comments or questions welcome.:leaf:

Here's my TD today. They are close to needing watered. Today I noticed that another stem is gonna come out under the other cotyledon. Having two stems from under cotyledons seems rare, to me any way. The branching from the sativa pheno is unlike any others I've grown. That Indica pheno does have some of the same trait. It's spreading out wider not taller.
I realized my pic from the clone was wrong last time. That was a SS. Here it is now.
