5 weeks yesterday and the main colas got so swollen they started falling down, so I had to do a little preventive upkeep with some wire and prop em up. The tying down has been tricky---the main trunk of the larger plant is like a small tree, and I've taken it about as far I as I can, so...

Buds are starting to puff up nicely. Have added a 250w hps standing vertically on one side facing plants , and another 125w flouro on the other side (it was just lying around, so I thought, why not, couldn't hurt--) Been tying the big lady down nearly every day a little lower, but she is an...

Bros Grunt, I am in awe. Beautiful work, you must be proud. You gotta school me on your cloning technique... --mojoMOn

Here they are @ 2 weeks flower. The tall girl who was racing for the light has been tied in two graduations so far and appears to be training and curving upward naturally and nicely. These two plants have been a tremendous amount of labor (in some ways), but if they produce kindage I'll feel...

2 plants in an NFT system now one week into flower. They shot up really quickly and at 6 weeks veg they were already over three feet. Light is maxed out in height, and one of the plants is already very close to the bulb. Have I waited too late to tie down/train the plants? Any...

2 plants in NFT and only 1 week into flower (12/12). Vegged for 6 weeks and they just grew at an incredible rate, faster than expected. I have run out of clearance to raise the light, and I'd rather not top them at this point if I can help it. Never tried tying plants before, just...

Verdict is in: 1 male and 2 females out of 3 total plants. Not what I had hoped and prayed for, but I am nevertheless thankful for the majority outcome in my favor. As the photos demonstrate, the male turned out to be the monster plant that took up so much space it actually caused the other...

That ain't right. No Sir. Wonder what she would have done if you had thrown something of hers out that she had worked that hard on? Double standards. That's why I never remarried, bro. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. If it were me, I'd be consulting an attorney and filing...

Just checking in after my hardrive crashed about a week ago---plants are now over 3 feet, and have been in 12/12 under hps for about 5 days now. Still no definite signs of sexing, but I think at least one might be male so far (of course, it is the largest most robust one--). Still too soon to...

So far onlt 2-3 of the clones look like they MIGHT make it. Not sure what I might have done wrong, but I have some suspicions. Perhaps I had the rockwool TOO wet, maybe I got air in the stem, etc...damn, I had such high hopes... They seemed to just wither and literally keel over. Like they...

One week till 12/12 begins, and the three plants are at about 2 feet. Just installed a new hooded reflector and it is definitley an improvement over the old batwing thing. Made first attempt at cloning earlier today, took 2 cuttings from each plant. Hope I got it right. As seen in the...

Thanks F1, but I am definitely still in the "novice" rating. I would actually love to try soil, as it seems to be the medium of choice for most growers. I was drawn to the idea of hydro due to its seeming ease of maintenance and "beginner" potential. Before my first grow last year, I knew...

Thanks BG, I will take that good mojo wish and hold on to it for dear life-- F1: the tidy cat bucket serves as a "controller". Most hydro outlets sell them as an accessory to larger systems, and they are usually used in larger applications where huge res volumes are needed. It really is...

These have really entered a growth spurt as of late and are moving faster than I expected. Thinking about pulling two cuttings from each plant next week for my first attempt at cloning, and then giving them another week after that to recover before I go to 12/12. I only have around 4' height...

Looks like you made a great save, good job bro. There really is no subsitute for proper lighting and environmental control as you've seen. Spending the extra bucks to upgrade your system does induce an initial wallet discomfort, but most assuredly pays off in huge dividends in the long run...
