they are about 4.5 inches tall and i can raise my lights up to like 12 or 13 inches. I would love to majorly upgrade this setup and raise it up and add some lights but now is not the time.

SICC how much does rollitup pay you to cruise these boards? haha

haha well its not that hard, all you basically do is gently tie the plants down when it gets too tall, and as it bends, the growth will grow bac up and reach for the light, cause they will out grow your extension are

Hey everybody ive been flowering my plants for about a week and a half now and my plants are 6 weeks old and are looking quite strong, almost too strong for my operation.

I have a quick question though. Ive noticed a bunch of smaller leaves sprouting out underneath my plant, should i clip these? are they helping at all?

Also any other tips you can think of baised on my pics would be great! thanks


Sorry but roll it up wont let me load pics right now but you can check out my flickr page and see the most recent ones

Hey everybody, its been a while since ive posted, i recently decided the only way this grow op could go on is if i do some low stress training with a old refrigerator grate i had laying around

I think the whole stress training/Screen of Green method is interesting, if any one has any tips on it all i would be very grateful.

Let me know what you think

I also herd some where that if some of your older leaves are a lighter color than the rest of the leaves it means they dont have a lot of chlorophyll, and arent worth the light wasted on them.

tie down the biggest buds? Is my main goal to basically make them do a 180 and start growing towards the ground?

well wouldnt the screen have to be tighter nets then that, those are like long rectangles instead of a bunch of squares is that makes sense, idk, just an idea :mrgreen:
