Newb Closet Coco Grow, 400w MH+HPS

ok i get what your saying but since the stem wont get hard dont you think instead of the plant trying to make a thicker stem it would focus on growing more? and couldnt you just stick a fan in there to make the stem thicken up a bit?

Doog, my man. I might have to disagree on that one. I think cannabis grows towards light, regardless of the direction of gravity. Have you ever seen a Volksgarden? It's a giant cylinder with a light in the center. Many small plants cover the walls and grow SIDEWAYS towards the light in the center. The stems actually become stronger this way by constantly fighting gravity to hold themselves towards the light. That being said, I don't see much of a point to growing upside down. Your stems would be thin and weak because they don't have to support their own weight. Plus, there's no better light coverage or use of space like with the cylinder setup.

Sup Mared. Good points. That system actually rotates and gives all the plants gravity to help promote good stems. You could put a light on the ground but that creates all new problems ... A guy on another thread sums it up well "it will be a complete bitch to water, water will drip on your light and make it go pop and all the branches will lean in to the plant and not get very good light, all in all it sounds like a bad idea"

Santa bring you anything good this year?

Merry xmas mared. Hows the grow going man.

User?!?!?!?!?!?!? OMG where have you been all this time? Yea, are you proud of me? LOL Feel like I've come a long way since last seeing you. I know Tet would like to see you if you haven't talked to him. There were some issues here and a lot of those folks left this site for good. Can't post direct link for some silly reason but if you go to this thread, post #2335, you can find out where they went. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/68714-my-first-attempt-growing-59.html It's a pretty cool place. You should check it out

So did anyone ever get RIU's input on this? Wouldn't surprise me if PMs were getting intercepted, but it could have been a glitch. Around here during bad weather, same shit happens with phone lines. You call a number from a phone and get a completely different line than from another phone.

Also wouldn't surprise me if HHM was lying. I've seen some comments by Rollitup that lead me to believe he is an experienced grower, and it's hard for me to want to change anything.

I checked out SS and I like what Skunkkushhybrid has done with the place, but there's no way that place is drama-free either. People are the weak link and if it's not Rollitup's tyranny, it's someone else's.

You got a bunch of friends over there, but don't be a stranger. RIU needs all the quality growers it can get.

LOL mared's fine and well. I've just had family visiting me for the holidays so not much RIU time. Here's the latest from the garden.

I chopped the Jock Horror almost two weeks ago. Yield actually turned out almost identical to the Bubblicious.





Here's some shots of the dried bud. The taste is not as sweet as I expected but is very much like grapefruit with a fruity sourness that is really nice.





In the flower room I still have the massive tangle of White Lady on the right that I can't wait to get rid of. Should be chopping that before the week is out.



The Jock and Bubb clones in the back left are more what I'm going for. Shorter plants with a single main cola.



Some Jock buds





Bubblicious



After growing the two new strains I now know how stretchy the White Lady really is. These phuckers can grow 4 or 5 times their veg size in flower. Still, these younger ones are way better than the mess I have with their parents.







I have three Jocks and one White Lady going in veg. None of my Bubb clones survived. Oh well, guess it's time to crack the new ones. Happy New Year, everyone!
