Anyone got any thoughts FIMMING/TOPPING? I gave fimming a go on one of my plants on my last grow(NL x Shiva, althought I was highly doubtful of how legit the seeds were....) the result on the yield was more than obvious. The FIMMED plant yielded 4 1/2oz, the plant I let take it's natural course only yielded 1 1/2oz. I don't wanna bag em out too heavily but that grow was from seeds from BDS(budydutchseeds) the customer service was excellent, the delievery method was excellent....BUT they didn't ever provide breeder packs, which for me is dodgey as fuck considering the amount I'd forked out...here's some pics off of that grow (the plant to the far left ended up herming)grow20102011 003.jpggrow20102011 004.jpggrow20102011 012.jpggrow20102011 007.jpggrow20102011 013.jpg

Anyways after all that my question is: can you double or triple up on the FIM/TOP or just do it once and SCROG it? time really isn't a issue for me, as I know it takes a week or 2 for the plant to repair n keep doing it's thing, but also will multiple FIM/TOP cause too much stress? any advice on this would be much appreciated!

Hey everybody, day 30 of veg. and the ladies are lovin life! Was a res. topup today, i usually let the water level drop til it's 3" or so from the bottom of the res, even though it's a 25L res, I only use 12.5L of it. Dutchfest nutes go 20ml per 5L....I only had to top up with 5L of water per res, so thats 2.5L of A solution, n 2.5L of B solution, 7.5ml of A/B per container that I use to pour into the res. I only gotta do this MAYBE once a week?? PH is runnin at 5.9, temps at 29degrees celcius(though its a hot ass summer with 35degree days n shit, the tent temps have been kind....even though I had major issues with a air cooled reflector....temps shot to 45!! :wall: really couldnt explain what the deal was there...) other than that, loving DWC! :leaf:

Finally finished making my SCROG net, turned out pretty sweet if I dont say so myself, be hooking it up within the week! Hope ya'll are well, happy growing! :bigjoint:

Damn, those are some tight node spacing, I don't think you will even need the scrog.
Looks like they are going to be pretty dense, keep that air flowing. Haven't heard of sharks breath, gonna watch this one.
