[purpdaddy]

I like the idea of leaving it on 24/7, do you ever run into overwatering or your tub temp. getting to high from the pump?

you cant overwater when you growing IN WATER! answere nope.none at all,i left the pump on 24/0 with no prob,but i didnt get to flower cause they were stole.this was my last grow,check it...Bubbleponics grow. Afgan Kush and Durban Poison..they got stole in oct' 08

Thats fucked up somebody stole your shit....sorry to hear it, I checked your link and they were off to a good start....I kind of figured you couldn't overwater, would defeat the whole idea of the system. Did you take a look at my pics I posted a coupe days ago? What do you think of the cabinet? Any sugg.?

Thanks, Im thinking maybe two to three plant max, with such a small area. What are some tips to keeping my plants on the short side? I have heard of bending but im not sure there is the room and I don't know much about pruning....

yes.do research on TOPPING,makes the plants short and more bushy with more budspots to the lower branches.I use the topping teknique.

I have read a little on how to prune the top to make four colas instead of the normal one or two. I am guessing that might keep the plant short....

 

[warlock22]

What is your technique? And how soon do I prune?

alrite man peace!

need to top before the 3rd.more like after the first,to keep it short and bushy and then ill top again later on.Topping is just cutting the new growth above the first node and then you can just look at it and try to determin the best way to do it.Very easy and effective!

 

[warlock22]

Ok purp here ya go man, these are the most recent pics. They babys are appx. 4 weeks old from seed.

Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower’s Bible
Format: 6 × 8.25” trade paperback. Details: 512 pages, 1120 color images, glossary, index.

• With 512 full-color pages and 1120 full-color photographs and illustrations, Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower’s Bible is the most complete cultivation book available. The Fifth Edition of the former Indoor Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor Bible was originally published in 1983, when it immediately became a best-seller. More than 500,000 copies of The Indoor Bible are in print in Dutch, English, French, German, and Spanish.
• New greenhouse and outdoor growing chapters make this new edition a book indoor and outdoor growers will keep under thumb. These two new chapters complement the existing fi fteen chapters, which have been rewritten, signifi cantly expanded, and updated with the most current information. Dr. John McPartland contributed a new medical section, and ten cannabis web sites were profi led. All chapters pertaining to plant growth—seeds, seedlings, clones, vegetative growth, fl owering, and harvesting—doubled or tripled in length and detail. Hydroponic and organic growing sections are new and greatly expanded. The twentynine-page “Hash and Oil Making” chapter explains dry-sieve and water hash production in simple, pictorial detail. The thirty-page “Breeding” chapter, written by expert breeder Chimera from Chimera Seeds, is straightforward and easy for all growers to understand and apply.
• According to the author, about forty percent of the text from the Fourth Edition was adapted for the new Bible. More pages and images, a new condensed typeface that allows twice as many words per page, and new research make the Fifth Edition a completely new book rather than a simple rewrite.
• The book’s credits list more than three hundred contributors and reads like a who’s who in the world of cannabis cultivation. Any grower, casual or serious, will fi nd hours of instruction and indispensable, triedand-true help within the Bible’s pages.

For those who like lots of visuals: (One review says it's a waste of time/money; the other two reviews sing its praises.... take your pick!)

OH, and here's some ("freebie") "How To" stuff on Jorge's site; step-by-step instructions for different techniques and troubleshooting.


I know that I want the Indoor one for sure, but I've heard a myriad of praises for the Indoor/Outdoor one as well; and since I fully intend on growing outdoors as well as indoors (however, changed my mind RE: doing it here; once T and I buy our house next fall/winter, then I'll do outdoor grows each season; T offered to build me a greenhouse one of these days too), so that one also appeals to me. The "Rx" book appears from the "Partial Table of Contents" to have a lot of info for diagnosing problems. The DVD set I wouldn't mind having (for visuals of "how to" stuff as well as just loving to watch all the porn LOL), but it's not a necessity for me; plus, it appears on the YT search URL in the image above that most if not all of these DVDs are already on YT.

Is your brain hurting yet?

Figures! I'd gotten my previous comment all formatted and previewed last night, and when I went to submit the reply is right when the site crashed for the night. So instead of doing it all over again, I copied/pasted my post into a .txt document and once I saw the site was back up posted my reply.... only to see that there were several already.
