I just smoked a couple of bowls, so this next comment might be a little out there..... but the size of your plant and all the strings reminds me of Gulliver's Travels... does anyone else get this.

No I haven’t but I did consider it.Have you tried running HPS & MH together? (mixed spectrum)
Plants dig it...
They actually did most of the vegging outside so when I put them indoor they looked really sad (tops drooping) for the first couple of weeks and I think it was a spectrum thing so I had thought about adding an mh but then I flipped them anyway.
Apparently the eye hortilux hps bulbs throw a dual spectrum with the most blue/purple compared to other hps’ so I thought I might try those next run. They’re expensive but I’m yet to come across a bad review.

I veg with mh and flower with the hortilux and side light with florescent and LED bulbs . Very tight nodes , ohh I change from mh to hps two weeks after flip. My biggest concern is heat ( no ac ) .

Again you’re on the mark. Def should’ve flipped those few weeks earlier. It really is amazing how fast they grow! I’d love to do a time lapse of an entire grow.
As for the thinning I’m still going in daily removing heaps of fans in an attempt to get more light thru. But I totally agree with u, I’ve missed the sweet spot with this plant big time cos the colas are all bunched at the top where I had to pull the main stem off to the side so not to hit the light and there’s not much more coming up from the sides.
So should I just get in there now at 4wks and thin it all out in one hit? Cos I’ve been doing bit and pieces trying not to cause too much stress. But should I just get it all done at once?

If you are comfortable shopping online prices are better.
I got 6 - 600w hortilux super hps shipped from Walmart for $250 with free shipping.

Oh geez that is cheap!
I had originally ordered the same bulb ^^ through the suppliers I use for $150 delivered for ONE. But then they said their suppliers were out and they’d have to order direct from US and would be on my doorstep for $200. So I said no for now and went with the ge lucalox instead.
But 250 for 6 of them is awesome!

HPS & MH compliment each other very well.
If you are running HPS only, hortilux bulbs are worth the hefty price.
But If you run mixed spectrum, cheap $20 bulbs are fine.
MH also has lots of UV when ran "bare bulb".

It's worth mentioning that eye protection is essential when working around bare bulb MH.
UV-B can fry your eyes and burn your skin.
Be careful out there...

Thin more than you think you need to. Leave the fans alone, take out popcorn bud and full inside limbs (with fans). Taking it out once, severely, sets you back less. Your plants are so big you need to knock them back. Best of all for the most part the more you take the more return you get in your main colas. It balances out.
What is your humidity there? I run 10% so I never worry about PM (unless it's systemic). But if you run a normal humidity (35% or greater) you have got to really reduce the bulk or we maybe having another Hy Pee incident
and I think we all would all appreciate avoiding that again. If you have high humidity ask the guys who have to deal with that how/when to use a dehumidifier. I don't know.I still learn from every grow. They are weeds after all so we can't do much wrong. Your plants look great so far you've done nicely.

She could trim less and hang 2 MH low but depending on what she pays for electricity trimming will do the job cheaper ha ha
Then you have to look at heat although it's winter there..... so if she heats her house like I do (with my grow), it could work.

Made a snake come to life today......obviously it was my second snake awakening for the day.....8========D
Getting more and more use to the art of tattooing......really is different than painting or any other type or art. It obviously helps to know how to draw...... but the depth of the ink and the body not being flat is tricky....and the fact that it's putting color into something instead of on is crazy....... biggest thing is the shading.....I'm eager to do my own full piece start to finish......instead of coloring in or adding to stuff that's already there.......off to bed
Penis everyone

She's an aussie so the shipping may kill it but it's definitely wise to check.

Keeping the center open can prevent PM, especially outdoors. It's all about airflow and avoiding leaves that overlap.Thin more than you think you need to. Leave the fans alone, take out popcorn bud and full inside limbs (with fans). Taking it out once, severely, sets you back less. Your plants are so big you need to knock them back. Best of all for the most part the more you take the more return you get in your main colas. It balances out.

Indoors you can crank up the fans, but outdoors you've gotta roll with whatever mother nature brings.

It's the stencil......we run our drawings through a thermafax and it makes our stencil which we then put on the skin as a guide.
Yeah these are indoors and if she has appreciable humidity weeks 6+ are gonna be a battle.
Ahh! isn't that interesting (you needed a bigger rattle)!
