Its crazy how much cheaper the SS works out being, not to mention a one eyed, one armed monkey would be able to grow the dankest of dank as long as the basic instructions are followed and neglect any stupid impulses. I get all sorts of excited thinking about my next run then I realize I wont be able to do anything with it until aug. or so and get bummed....but I get to live vicariously through you guys so it wont be too bad as long as my chernobyl lasts me that long, lol..

"neglet any stupid impulses"! thats so true, right!......hey at least you have dank to smoke!

.....as far as the canopy rings go, i have been playing with different heights, and i have found that if i am really aggresive with my early main-lining, i can keep the cages shorter, like 20-22 inches...but my new batch i cut at 25 in. and bent a 1 inch foot, so they finish at 24.....i figure i want my plants to finish between 28-34 inches from the soil line....meaning if you subtract the 8 inches from the canopy ring (under the soil), my colas will be 12-18 inches above the ring when done flowering.................you can make them a bit longer, but the further you bring the ring up, the taller the plant, and the smaller the footprint of the canopy....so again there is a fine line going on...
