I've been lazy about updating. Nothing spectacular going on. They're just growing like mad. I ordered my 400w light fixture last night. It's an HPS magnetic ballast setup that I'm going to run a Philips retrofit 400w Ceramic Metal Halide bulb in. It should be here Friday. I can't order...

I watered them last night. Just enough water to produce decent run off. All 3 got LST work tonight. Before and after pics.

They were all topped above the second true node. This produces 4 main colas. I makes it easier to train them into a bushy plant. I waited until there were to about the 6th node before I cut them.

I fed them last night. Let me restate that. I fed the indicas last night. I switched nutes up a bit too. I switched over to Jack's Classic. Much simpler. Full strength out of the gate. 1/4tsp per gallon is recommended for indoors, so that's what I went with. They got 32 oz each. There...

All 3 got 24 oz of filtered water. Business as usual. Looking pretty good to me.

I up canned Dime, the Diesel yesterday. She's in a 3 gal smart pot now..Just so you know. The 2gal has an 8 inch base and the 3 has a 10 inch base. I gave her 12oz of water just to keep the soil together better.

A little of both actually. Hmmmm, more hype maybe? They sure seem to like those pots. Maybe I just learned enough from my last grow that it's going that much better? I dunno. I'll post my results as I move forward. As you can tell, I'm fairly new. My real purpose for using them bottom...

I admit that I haven't read this thread post to post, but pots that use air pruning to terminate root tips should work, IF, and this is a big if, the ambient RH is fairly low. FWIW, copper hydroxide painted pots is foolproof. It always works. Good luck, UB Not to sound like a noob, but I...

I have a hard time seeing how someone that's grown that many plants is asking the questions you're asking. Good luck with all of that.

Very impressive thread

I fed them last night. Connie and the Cali Hash got 24oz. Diesel got 12. I'm gonna call her Dime. I moved the plants around a bit under the light. Connie's on the end and Dime (the Diesel) is in the middle. Here are some pics of my sexy girls.

Honestly, I haven't gotten that far along in my grow to know if they terminate completely. The plants are doing really well with them.

You can get them in whatever size you want up to 400gal. http://www.smartpots.com/ Like anything, there's good and bad. Do a bit of reading on them before you rush out and buy some. The plants use more water. Some of that is evaporation. It adds to the humidity in the growing space. I'm...

Somewhere buried in Hobbe's thread he discusses the rate at which water is added to his buckets (or pots in my case). He basically dumps the water in stages, forcing it to take O2 down with it. I'm not an expert, and I'm no botonist, but common sense tells me this is going to create air...

Feeding time at the zoo. All three got fed. The indicas got 24 oz, the Diesel got 12. I started with about 1 gal of filtered water. I added 1tsp of Cal Mag, 3Tbs of Big Bloom and 2tsp of Grow Big. The leftovers will go on plants outside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-YsE4AKf_k

I don't pack the soil. We keep adding things to make it breathe better, that would be pointless. But.....I'm not so sure on the tearing the roots up. I don't know about the rest of you, but I squeeze the pot to loosen the everything up when I'm up potting. The plants recover fine from...

Good morning, thought I'd throw is in here for you. Mt grow journal should show in my signature. It's just not fancy looking yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-NBX9M2kmE

Topic shift of sorts. I'm using Smart Pots, the fabric pots designed to let roots breathe and do root pruning. A question or two came up on my journal and a light bulb went clicked on. What affect, if any do you think squeezing or shifting the pots around to loosen the soil to help aerate...

Ok, Music is my real weakness. Why not listen to something while you're here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU11ZWAlcyE

NL5, This topping should give me 4. BUT two of the lower branches are right there in the running. They'll be colas, just not dominant ones. I've told him and even offered to pay in advance. I'm not in a hurry and I told him that. I just thought of wanting more tonight as I checked the soil...
