And how do you apply nutes? a seperate line or in the mix of the regular res? And if its in the res how often do you flush? If they are in a seperate res and you can apply nutes by the switch of a valve, thats almost rocket science! Are the mini sprinklers running all the time?

you apply the nutrients every res change. which you do every 2 weeks or 10 days. um you flush at the end of the grow the last 14 days should not feed any nutes.i dont know were your getting the valve from.maybe i missed something. its not rocket science bro you just got some studying to do.

I know its been over a month now since ur post, but if u have this problem next time try a product called Rock Juice.. Its a blooming product that is used in weeks 3-6, and wat it does is stop the plant growing upwards and re-routes all the nutes to the bud sites. It gives u real tight weighty buds. In ur case it would help as if u give it a little bit wen they have reached the desired height, then they will stop growing up and ur stems will start thickening to wat resembles hard wood. Also u wont get the massive height kick that comes when you start to flower them..
Hope this helps u for next time or any1 else who has a similair problem.

You already prob have an answer mate, but my advice is flower when they are 8 to 12 inches next time and bend them and tie down branches as they elongate for max light coverage. You can top them still even in flower, it stresses them a bit, but its better than a forest fire when they touch yer HPS. They will divert energy to the remaining lower branches. Its not ideal tho...weve all been there me ol buddy, you'll learn the hard way, but thats the best way as you only do it once. regards

sorry it really should have been a pm to cruzer101....But thanks I am amateur hydro, which setups so far seem to vary depending on who you talk to. I thought after applying nutes and if they are in the same res as main water, wouldn't that water be contaminated?; therefore you flush the container? I know you flush a plant 2 weeks before chop, I guess this is more of a cleansing?

Rock juice is expensive stuff, AU$95 on ebay for 1 Litre.
Manufacturers blurb.
Rock Juice is a flowering tonic suitable for all flowering plants. It contains naturally occurring organic acids, Cytokinins, Auxins and Gibberellins as well as a range of micro nutrients found in seaweed.
Rock Juice also contains silica to enhance flower weight and help reduce mould and fungal outbreaks. Rock Juice will reduce internodal stretching and increase flower set thus increasing overall yield.

LST, LST, LST! I have very limited space and what's working best even in 12/12 is just to keep tying those girls down. Be strategic if you can to get optimum use of your light and space. It's not too late to bend, just do it carefully! Use supercropping methods to help too! Not everyone has anothrer place to move them. Your grow room is your grow room. Your limited space is what you have to work with(Not everyone can just dedicate whole rooms to this shit. Some have nosey neighbors or landlords etc.). It will work out in the end if your careful and treat them like true ladies!

Supercrop them by squeezeing on the stems harf way down the plant this will make it grow back up the side of it's old stem.i had to do this other year with some arjons ultra haze#1. I started flowering at 1 ft tall bad idea i should realy have started flowering at a few inces,and then the plant would have been fine.just squeeze the stem and keep squeezing till you count to 25 keep squeezing harder till the plant gives it will fold once it has folded i put a tie wrap around the stem not to tight just a loop to stop it growing back straight.
