Sorry to jump in but just want to say that the topping technique upon which this forum is based works as we all know. I'm including a pic of 3 AK48's after 7 weeks of flowering. " Sea of bush" pretty much describes things. Next time I'll do only 2 plants. Best purchase for me has been a...

Regarding grafting, which it sounds like is part of UB's current horticultural adventures, I remember somewhere reading about somebody grafting hops scions on to cannabis plants or vice versa and trying to get hops plants to produce THC and thus be some kind of stealth grow. I'm old but I do...

The technique that started this thread works. Attaching an image of 3 plants in a 3X3 tent that were topped just above node 2. Picture is 3 weeks into 12 hr photoperiod. 5 gallon smart pots, Roots original soil and General Organics nutrients, 6ooW HPS. - first time I tried those juices and I am...

Those are the little pots in the background. They are supposed to aid in root development and I'd have to say they work. Thank you for the plant stress link. I may well have over watered because I was afraid that the soil was drying out as the superoots pots have holes all around the sides...

pictures- topped one on right will top other one in a day or so. very tight node spacing

Hi and sorry for no pictures but I' really happy to say that I have 2 lovely candidates for cutting above node 2. This my first grow under HID light. I've grown indoors on and off since 1975 but always fluoro. Anyhow I have 2 AK48 plants from seed that have exploded. Using Roots original...

I have a question Regarding Microkote treated 1 gallon containers and upcanning to 3 gallon untreated containers. I'm about to grow a sativa/Indica "mutt" (AK 48) that I plan to top just above node 2 after getting to 6 nodes as described in Uncle Ben's thread on 4 main colas. Somewhere I read...

I love this thread and thanks to UB! I am starting a new grow and have questions. I have a small area 2' deep 4' wide and 6' tall. I've always used T5 flouro but have just bought a 400 W HPS and cool tube which I intend to us for this grow. I'd like to do 4 plants (AK48) and top just above...

Wow, she's a gangly one but she's packin' some heat!! As Little Richard said, "Long Tall Sally She's built for speed she got everything that Uncle John Needs!" Thanks for all the good information and sharing!

Thanks Jerry, I wasn't kidding about "inspiration"! You are doin a lota things right and I really want to get the perpetual thing going. You seem to have the space thing down, I read what you wrote about the Blue Cheese sensitivity to nutes. I'd have to agree. Veg was great - lush green...

Hi Jerry, This thread has been a real inspiration to me. I'm really impressed by your use of space. My wife says no more plants for a while as I grew enough last go round that we'll be high for a long time, LOL. However I gotta plan the next grow. Would you when you have a chance tell me the...

Nice Jerry! The LSD, did you do the Uncle Ben's technique for 4 main colas?? Looking very good! Have Fun,

I cut, trimmed and hung the buds in my grow box with the lights off and the fans running. I put one of those DampRid tubs in the box too. Buds tried enough to go into jars in 4 days. I don't do a perpetual grow so I was lucky enough to have that space. See the 4 day bud dryer thread on...

Jerry my Man !! How sweet to see! I used binder clips to hang too, the good people at Staples do have something for everybody. I know you are going to enjoy the bounty. It is amazing how long trimming can take.

I had a lot of gnats throughout a 3.5 month grow. They seemed to come with the FF Ocean Forest soil. I tried diatomaceous earth heavily applied to the soil top (used 3 gallon grow bags.) I tried predatory nemotids which may have helped - didn't get rid of em though. Also tried BTI solution...
