Oscar, what's up man. Had to get 'scribed up here. I'm very interested with your grow style. It's almost the exact opposite of me and Krimez. We remove the bottom branches to encourage the tops to get massive while you try to get light to bottoms in order to strengthen them up into mini tops. I wish I had the space to do a proper experiment on which style yields more but I bet it depends a lot on strain anyway. I'm sure the 600 watt doesn't hurt LOL.

haha follow the light....600w is what i dream of
I'd try to to the experiment myself mared but i havent got the space either...It would be a pain in the arse to get them all at the same height also.This is why i'm doing the bagseeds now with uncle bens method,i wanna keep em all low(2-2 1/2ft) for maximum light penetration,with them being so small i s'pose it's useless promoting main cola growth and that is why i wanna promote the first 2 nodes into main colas,actually depending on how many females i get i might let 1 grow natural and prune it back for main cola growth but keep it at the same height so i can compare the 4 colas to 1 main cola...i know its not an exact science BUT it would give you a general idea of a 4-5ft plant and what would yeild most.....I think

thanks for stopping by mared. i'd like to try to do both styles but like you i don't have the room either. i didn't really do the bending thing with my ww (the stems were too thick) last time but i did top them so all the lower branches could catch up and that got me roughly 5oz a plant, possibly begginners luck.
i don't know what the jh's have yeilded yet, i'm only doing jh this time coz i don't think i could ever get bored of that=) not that i'm bored of ww..

I think i'm gonna repot 'em this week into their final pots, 12L buckets with loads of holes in the bottom and a few big handfuls of clay pebbles and shove 'em under my 600w hps. I'll stretch a couple of layers of netting across the tent to hold up the branches coz these plants have quite flimsy branches.
I know they don't look that good atm but last time they grew really fast so in two weeks or so there should be quite a difference.

btw. i'm growing in soil, plagron batmix..

Nice one Oscar, Im here for moral suport lol.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

cheers westy. is your first name Fred? ..lol

A couple of new pics from this morning. not much new. The last one is a comparison of my dodgy taping method and letting one go naturally. I've just realised i'm accidently doing that experiment, doh.. If i've got the room i'll let it go all the way.

what can i say Westy, I know my perverts..lol
I'd love a bit more room too but my Mrs wouldn't allow it, I've used all my brownie points to get what you see here.

Haha...You know your perverts
Man,i would love another proper grow chamber for vegging but my missus wouldn't have it either,She's a toker like me but she's been getting paranoid lately.I think its because of the size of the plants and that its getting near the end,I've told her theres no reason for the police to be sniffing round as we lead a quiet life and keep ourselves to ourselves.
Journals looking good oscar,how much height have you got?
