I've always hated the waterfarm system with a passion. It's a piece of shit, to the point where I actually designed and built my own RDWC system that solves all of its problems, along with many more.

Is there active air circulation around those babies? More transpiration leads to more growth as long as there's plenty of water and nutes.

I have an oscillating tower fan centered between them & 2 six inch exhaust fans in top of the tent in the next few days I'm putting in a tub ,reservoir & a pump on a timer the roots have made it to the sides of the smart pots on both plants by the first of the week this will be e&f it's coming together the other tent is getting switched back to tupur as well the roots just love this tupur

hopefully bud tonight I'll have this put together a friend gave me some mortar mixing trays & im going to set one up for my two plants & there is a larger one as well that I haven't picked up yet I have a small 4 gal. tote I'm gonna paint to block the light I'm gonna use for a reservoir the plan is to get both grows automatically flooding where I can do a little camping my favorite time of year is right on top of us

happy Labor Day everyone! being a retired union member this is kinda special to me now back to the grow when I bought the 2 clones I thought I only had 1 pheno but I think they're different in the future I will separate & label them the closer I look the more apparent the difference is

Is one of those for your SO, or do you wear one on each foot? Lol
I generally prefer to keep boats in the garage, but that's me.
Just teasing, they look like loads of fun!

I've found that once the plant starts to take off, cleaning the scraggly stuff off the main stem encourages faster growth. It directs the plant's energy up towards the most productive parts.

So what you're saying is, if my bush is forty branches deep, I CAN remove the 'less productive light blockers and the root zone will push its excess energy into the remaining branches? What percent of branches do you think is safe to remove during week one of flower with creating very little stress? I have these four month veg plants that are OUT of HAND

The vernacular in the industry is known as 'shaving their legs', which means to clean up the underside of the plants so they don't choke themselves or waste a lot of energy keeping stuff alive that isn't getting much light and will never be productive.
If you are within the first three weeks of bloom I think you'll do very well to clean your plants up. There isn't a hard and fast rule as to percentage, but you're generally safe taking up to a third of the plant mass, especially if you haven't done any cleaning up on them before.

Thanks for the response , dude. I have cleaned my girls legs but have so many main 'legs, giggity, that I am considering removing branches. even with it scrogged out it has branches not getting light. foot long branches buried. its killing me looking at them fighting for light

Cleaning plants up for maximum yields and quality is something of an art. If your gut is telling you to do a little more, I'd encourage you to go with it. Watch the results carefully and adjust your approach accordingly going forward. Such experience is the best teacher.

Good point especially for the larger plant I've been kinda hesitant but it's time hoping the other catches up a bit I wasn't expecting this good of growth from the larger plant I'm cloning both plants & what I run next round depends on what the finished quality of each pheno is one the smaller of the two leans toward jack herer the larger one is more blackberry kush my neighbor grew b/k last year it's really good
