Todays photos enjoy :eyesmoke:

too stoned to think what to write oh yeah i wanted to ask whoever answers my HS is really stretching is there anything i can do to stop the vertical growth, what exactly is fimming and is it too late to do it :eyesmoke:

yeah my dude,its too late to fim,but at the same time,i look at it like this,that HS is supposed to stretch anyway,but the good news is that you put it to flower when they were at a good height,so it shouldnt really freak you out that they stretch because i dont think it'll be an extreme stretch

Thanks nikk :mrgreen:

That was the whole reason why i flowered while there were small because i didn't want trees in the attic only the xmas tree :eyesmoke:

Do you think it will stretch much more going by the pics,I can only lift the light so far then it hits the roof truss and the higher the light the more chance it would be seen shining thru the attic door as it is i piled a load of stuff to block the light ,sorry for waffling i,m high :mrgreen:

unfortunately its gonna stretch a lil bit more,what i suggest you do is reposition the plants so that the HS is just a few inches away from the light,or you could train them,tie em with a string and pull the string with just enuff tension that it bends the stalk(not too hard that you break it)and use a thumb tack to hold the sting in place,it'll bend the stalk and it should solve your problems,oh and tie the tip of the plant that way when you bend your just bending the flexible part of the plant

Is that not what fim is :roll:

I was thinking of doing that but i thought it would take up more of the light,meaning the other 2 plants would not be under the light which brings me to a Q for you,do you think i need more light,I know more light more bud,but do you think i would get good buds off my 1 200w :eyesmoke:

I'm thinking about extra lights but it might get me busted but if I'm not going to get much bud I'm willing to risk it :blsmoke:

no fim means pinching off a leaf set(topping means cutting off at the node itself)
as for your lighting question,you could just add 2 42watters 2700k spectrum(soft white)
it doesnt produce much heat and the electric bill wouldnt get high AT ALL,so i feel like if you add the 2 extra bulbs you could focus thos on the HS itself while positioning the other one under the 200watter

Thanks nikk so thats what fimming is,Yes thats a good idea about the lights but I live in far west europe and i have only seen 25w max CFL and do you know if its safe to run light fittings in series off one plug,how many max if you know, thanks :eyesmoke:

its not realy the wattage of the plug that you have to be worried about, you should be worried about the amps going back to the breaker box off of that single circuit, usualy a breaker is 12-15 amps, 1056Watts using 120V plug will draw 9.5 amps.

A.K.A if you have a powerstrip with 6x 23W CFL's thats 138 watts using a 120V sowerstrip will draw 1.15 amps.

http://www.the12volt.com/ohm/page2.asp i just found this, its an OHM's law calculator, this should help you out.....

to clerify, FIM (or Fuck, i missed) it taking 80% of the meristem off of the plant, where as topping takes the whole maristem down to the most recent node structure. heres a post where MBLAZE describes FIM'img with more precision than i ever could....https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/200413-fimming-m-blaze-complete-how.html

your right, he was talking about Low Stress Training or LST'ing plants. its where you tie them down to allow lower budsites to get more light.

honestly, i would say spend $50 on benificial side lighting, you can never go wrong on side lighting, and alot of the time it will increase harvest dramaticly..... especialy when properly teamed with FIM'ing nd LST'ing plants.

Eh,I kinda remember them letters from school but thats a long time smokin ago and I,m high
Basically I have a 2 socket extension cord going up into the attic thru a hole in my ceiling,It is plugged into the timer plugged into a 5 socket strip which has other things plugged in i.e. Tv ,phone charger,wii,dvd player,and laptop only the tv is always plugged in,the rest when i need,Now I wanted to know if I got 3-4 25w bulbs could i wire 3-4 light sockets in series onto 1 plug,
The 2 socket in the attic has my light in 1 and the fan in the other so i could use a double adapter for the said 3-4 lights in series would that be 2 much,my house is 220v if that helps

Thanks Corbat ,I don't know how to double quote :eyesmoke:

I might tie the top branches down for now until i get more lights ,that explained fim fully,next grow i might fim or scrog people seem to get good results ,but thats another day I'll worry about this 1 for now :mrgreen:
